For many architects, the expression of structure has been a primary factor in the generation of space and form. In fact, many architectural historians distinguish the two primary approaches to architecture as either space articulated by expressed structure (rationalist architecture) or space generated as a plastic expression divorced from the expression of its structure (formalist architecture). However, too often architects can treat structure as separate from the core values of architecture. Structural design is thought to be necessary only to ensure safety, not to enrich the expression of space. At the same time, many structural engineers can perceive the design of structure purely from a practical viewpoint without exploring its creative potential. This is fostered by professional education that many times separates architects and engineers at the university. The School of Architecture at Oklahoma State University offers a unique symbiotic relationship between architecture and engineering by combining these two related disciplines completely within the structure of the school. Both five-year professional programs are essentially identical during the first two years allowing students to experience the core issues of both programs before making a career choice. AE students take design studios and architecture students are required to take many of the same engineering-science based structures courses designed to meet rigorous ABET requirements. Professors of each program work closely together in designing both curriculums. AE professors interact with all students on several projects in the lower division design studio courses, and one of the upper division design studios is co-taught by four faculty members, three architects and one engineer. This Comprehensive Design Studio was recognized by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) as the 2004 NCARB Grand Prize winner as the best professionally oriented architecture course in the nation. The unique relationship between the two programs and the shared capstone experience in the Comprehensive Design Studio offer an opportunity to explore the potential of structural expression in architectural design, but are we taking full advantage of that opportunity? I would like to share my experiences in teaching this studio, discussing both successes and failures, while exploring precedents we might use to promote the incorporation of structural expression and order into architecture

Urban Transportation Planning in the United States: History, Policy, and Practice

The development of U.S. urban transportation policy over the past 50 years illustrates the changing relationships among federal, state, and local governments. This comprehensive text examines the evolution of urban transportation planning from early developments in highway planning in the 1930s to today's concerns over sustainable development, security, and pollution control. Focusing on major national events, the book discusses the influence of legislation, regulations, conferences, federal programs, and advances in planning procedures and technology. The book focuses in-depth at the most significant event in transportation planning - the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962; creating a federal mandate for a comprehensive urban transportation planning process carried out cooperatively by states and local governments with federal funding, this act was crucial in the spread of urban transportation.
Claiming that urban transportation planning is more sophisticated, costly, and complex than its highway and transit planning predecessors, the book demonstrates how urban transportation planning evolved in response to changes in such factors as environment, energy, development patterns, intergovernmental coordination, and federal transit programs. It further illustrates how broader concerns for global climate change and sustainable development have braided the purview of transportation planning. This fully updated, revised, and expanded edition highlights the dynamics of transportation planning post-9/11, covers the impact of recent legislation, emphasizes such timely issues as security, oil dependence, performance measurement, and public-private sector collaboration.

Soils long have been taken for granted being so commonplace and lacking often striking features. However, soil is one of the most complex media on Earth, vital for the biogeosphere and human civilization. With increased usage of soil for world food production, building materials, waste repositories, etc awareness has grown for the need of better global understanding of soil and its processes.
The Encyclopedia of Soil Science provides a comprehensive, alphabetical treatment of basic soil science in a single volume. It constitutes a wide ranging and authoritative collection of about 160 academic articles covering the salient aspects of soil physics, chemistry, biology, fertility, technology, genesis, morphology, classification and geomorphology.
The longer articles by leading authorities from around the world are being supplemented by ca 430 definitions of common terms in soil sciences. It should be emphasized though that the volume is not a dictionary but represents a compendium of knowledge
