A pivotal feature of today’s most innovative and valuable real estate is connectivity—the ability to facilitate intercommunication and interaction among buildings and digital infrastructures. We stand at the cusp of an exciting transformation of our physical environment as we weave a unified digital infrastructure into new and existing buildings, communities, and cities. Fully integrated communications become the foundation for as yet uninvented applications and services that transform the ways in which we create and use the places where we live, work, play, and learn.

“Pushing the boundaries of innovation is the only way forward. The book opens our eyes to the opportunities José-Carlos Arnal Juan-Alberto Belloch before us.”

    Project management has existed in some form for thousands of years. After all anything that requires an approach where humans organize effectively to plan and achieve specific objectives can be loosely defined as a project. How else would humans have achieved some of the worlds most stunning wonders and achievements. Examples include, the Great Pyramid of Giza (2,550 B.C.) and the Great Wall of China (221 B.C. - 206 B.C.). These projects were made possible with the development of simple tools like wheels and levers, and wedges, around 3000 BC. The pace of development continued in and around the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Asia Minor. This led to projects like those that created the Roman Coliseum, 80 A.D. In the following examination of the building of The Coliseum we will consider how the project management principles shaped the design, and construction of one of history’s greatest monuments.…

    Louis Kahn was a genius beyond his time. His idea of silence and light separates his architecture from anyone else in history. The ideas spawned by his work challenged many theories before and beyond his time. He used plainness, light and location to shape the design of his buildings. Another concept that was heavily practiced by Kahn, was the use of served and servant spaces. The servant spaces usually housed the lighting, plumbing, and any other entity that made the building functional. On the other hand, the served spaces were the rooms like the laboratories and study rooms which are given functionality through the servant spaces (Manrique, 11/08/04). This concept was practiced through out most of Kahn 's career, but is most notable in his ingenious designs of the Salk Institute and Kimbell Art Museum.…

    All buildings talk to us and communicate directly to our psyches through a particular language. And, there is a need to learn that language, so as to enhance the communication between a building and our psyches. Further, by engaging all of these senses, form and function may be more fully expressed so occupants can have deeper, more meaningful moments – feeling the bouquet of their surroundings in all of its dimensions. When a child experiences a building, and as his body moves, sees, smells, touches, hears and even tastes within a space – the architecture comes to life and they immediately become involved in an array of overlapping processes that all contribute to their experience — architectural psychology focuses on such connections and can be applied to all building types.…
