GanttProject - Project Scheduling And Management Freeware | Free Software
By Tom on March 20, 2010 | Sponsored Links GanttProject is a free project management software. It is one of very few examples of free project scheduling and management software that there is and thus it is a very valuable freeware program for anyone who is in a position of power within a company. This kind of software is readily available, but it isn’t usually freeware. Sponsored Links Gantt’s free project scheduling and management software can be used to define milestones and generate breakdowns of work and arrange them in chart format to be easier to understand visually. GanttProject allows you to create Gantt Charts, which include Work Breakdown Structure, dependencies, and defining milestones. There is also a feature attached to the this free project management software that allows various users to collaborate with others to help on a project or with some management features using the WebDAV interface.

The Things to Come Page
Metropolis (1927). Meta-Score: 88/A+ Envisions a future industrial-city complex in which underground workers rebel (under the direction of a female humanoid and a mad-scientist) against a tyrant tycoon. The mad scientist creates a mechanical robot, but it was imagined prior to digital machines and so lacks realistic artificial intelligence. However, the robot transforms into a sort of human-Frankenstein monster, so it reflects the desire of humans to master nature and control it as in Shelley's Frankenstein. It also portrays central monitoring and a control desk for invasive workplace supervision. Starring: Alfred Abel, Gustav Fröhlich, Brigitte Helm, Rudolf Klein-Rogge. H. The first 2 parts seek to reduce to absurdity the rise of wasteful wars and rule by nationalist barbarians. Starring: Raymond Massey.

Studying the Benefits of Accessory Dwelling Units | Frameworks
Students and faculty at the College of Environmental Design have long designed creative approaches to increasing density in residential neighborhoods. But California’s implementation of SB 375, the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008, is putting new pressure on communities to support infill development. So the timing could not be more perfect for the Institute of Urban and Regional Development’s Center for Community Innovation to study small-scale infill, specifically, the potential impact of an accessory dwelling unit strategy in the East Bay. In-law units, or accessory dwelling units (ADUs), are self-contained, smaller living units on the lot of a single-family home. They can be either attached to the primary house, such as an above-the-garage unit or a basement unit, or, as is more typical in Berkeley, an independent cottage or carriage-house. ADUs provide benefits for both society and individuals.
Portfolio:Building the Sukkah of the Signs | Frameworks
click image to enlarge The Sukkah of the Signs, also known as The Homeless House project, was constructed in New York City’s Union Square as part of Sukkah City, an international design competition to re-imagine the ancient building type of sukkah and propose radical possibilities for traditional design constraints in a contemporary urban site. Twelve finalists were selected by a panel of celebrated architects, designers, and critics, and their sukkahs were constructed in a visionary temporary village in Union Square Park on September 19-20, 2010. While the project and designs were well-publicized, here is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Sukkah of the Signs. Also known as The Homeless House, the Sukkah of the Signs was constructed of approximately 300 signs collected from indigent people across the United States. Collecting 300 signs from the street at first seemed a daunting task. Project Date: 2010 Fabrication: Karol Popek (Modelsmith International, Inc.)
Sukkah
Wooden sukkot in Jerusalem Canvas-sided sukkah on a roof, topped with palm branches and bamboo s'chach A sukkah (Hebrew: סוכה, plural, סוכות sukkot ; sukkoth, often translated as "booth") is a temporary hut constructed for use during the week-long Jewish festival of Sukkot. It is topped with branches and often well decorated with autumnal, harvest or Judaic themes. Associated activities[edit] The halakha requires eating and sleeping in the sukkah. When rain falls on the sukkah, one is not required to stay inside. In Israel and other temperate climates (such as Florida, Australia, Texas, and Southern California), observant Jews will often conduct all their eating, studying, and sleeping activities in the sukkah. In Israel, it is common practice for hotels, restaurants, snack shops, and outdoor tourist attractions (such as zoos) to provide a sukkah for customers to dine in. A popular social activity which involves people visiting each other's Sukkot has become known as "Sukkah hopping".
Active Matter Matters | Frameworks
In 2010, the National Science Foundation (NSF) recognized the need for novel research collaborations in the area of sustainable environmental design. For the first time in history, NSF issued a call for proposals with the requirement that architects be members of proposed project teams. The NSF Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) Science in Energy and Environmental Design (SEED) program includes a specific track focused on Engineering Sustainable Buildings. A singular, cross-campus collaboration at UC Berkeley, involving architecture (Maria-Paz Gutierrez), civil and environmental engineering (Slawomir Hermanowicz), and bio-engineering (Luke Lee), was among the first round of EFRI-SEED awards. Multifunctional Materials and Microscale Processes Collaborative Scientific Research and Design Pedagogy Teaching design students about how to use technology to maximize building performance is central to architectural education.

CED - College of Environmental Design, UC Berkeley - The Berkeley [IN]STITUTES in Environmental Design
Our six-week summer programs give students the opportunity to test their enthusiasm for the material and culture of environmental design. The Summer Institute, offered by the College of Environmental Design (CED) at UC Berkeley, consists of three introductory programs in architecture, landscape architecture and sustainable city planning for post-baccalaureate students or senior-level undergraduates, and one advanced studio for students who have undergraduate degrees in architecture or who are senior-level architecture majors. Students in the Summer Institute explore the methods and theories of the fields, experience the culture of design and planning studios, connect to top faculty and practitioners, and build a portfolio for graduate school application.
