Architectural technology is the realisation of architecture through the application of building science, forming the constructive link between the abstract and the physical.
Architectural Technology: research and practice demonstrates the importance of research in architectural technology and aims to stimulate further research and debate by enlightening, informing and challenging readers.
Chapter authors address the interplay between research and practice in the field of architectural technology, examining the influence of political, economic, social, environmental and technological issues. The focus throughout is on creating sustainable buildings that are constructed economically and function effectively and efficiently within their service life cycle.
The book’s mix of chapters and case studies bring together a number of different themes and provides invaluable insights into the world of research from the perspective of those working within the architectural technology field - practitioners, academics and students. The underlying message is that architectural technology is not just a profession; it is a way of thinking and a way of acting. This is highlighted by contributions from architects and architectural technologists passionate about architectural technology as a field of knowledge. Contributions range from the theoretical and polemic to the pragmatic and applied, further helping to demonstrate the richness of the field.
About the Editor Stephen Emmitt is Professor of Architectural Technology at Loughborough University UK and Visiting Professor of Innovation Sciences at Halmstad University, Sweden and a member of CIAT’s Research Group.

Mechanical Engineering is defined nowadays as a discipline “which involves the application of principles of physics, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems”.
Recently, mechanical engineering has also focused on some cutting-edge subjects such as nanomechanics and nanotechnology, mechatronics and robotics, computational mechanics, biomechanics, alternative energies, as well as aspects related to sustainable mechanical engineering.
This book covers mechanical engineering higher education with a particular emphasis on quality assurance and the improvement of academic institutions, mechatronics education and the transfer of knowledge between university and industry.

This is an introduction to FEM method using excell spreadsheet.The user using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet can solves FE two dimensional (2D) frame-type structural engineering problems using FEM method. The spreadsheet is simplistic in comparison to commercial software and much more limited in capabilities, but it is completely adequate for many structural building frame-type problems

Autodesk Inc., a world leader in 2D and 3D design and entertainment software for the media and entertainment markets, has released update of Dynamo Studio is a standalone programming environment that lets designers create visual logic to explore parametric conceptual designs and automate tasks. Users can solve challenges faster by designing workflows that drive the geometry and behavior of design models. Dynamo Studio lets you extend your designs into interoperable workflows for documentation, fabrication, coordination, simulation, and analysis.
Explore parametric design concepts in a lightweight environment to iterate faster and earlier than ever
- Rapidly test and iterate your designs so you can study more options in less time
- Solve complex geometric problems with visual logic even if you don't know how to program
- Automate repetitive tasks for more precision and speed
- Manage risk by exposing tradeoffs and understanding systems and connections at the conceptual phase
- Generate sophisticated designs from simple data, logic, and analysis
Visualize geometry in a standalone environment
- Access a world-class geometry library to create solids and surfaces compatible with most downstream needs
- Work live in shared collaborative environment without the need for export
- Communicate to other applications from within Dynamo Studio for further insight, including Revit, Robot, Rhinoceros, NavisWorks, SAP2000, Excel, Google Spreadsheets, Tableau, and more
Extend computational design into other professional applications smoothly to work more effectively with project teams
- Design parametric geometry that translates into Revit families
- Communicate your work easily and efficiently with project teams with shareable content
- Harness the power of BIM so you can realize design changes without remodeling and build systems, not just models
