摘要:

Formal knowledge in architecture is defined as an independent field of knowledge. The significance of formal knowledge to design as recognized by design researchers and theoreticians is reviewed. Formal representations, the graphical representation of architectural formal knowledge, is the language of built form which the architect manipulates during design. The relevance of formal knowledge and representations to design education is reviewed. The particular characteristics of computer graphics programs as an environment for transferring formal knowledge are discussed. The Joy of Syntax is an approach to teaching a class of formal knowledge. This is compared with the objectives and operation of a previous course by the authors, and its objectives and content are elaborated. Future research directions in design teaching with computers in architecture are identified.

摘要:

A stone preservative is intended to prolong the life of a stone by either restoring its physical integrity or by inhibiting its decay. Its use should not change the natural appearance or architectural value of the stone. There are two principal means by which stone can be preserved. One involves the formation of an outer stabilized zone around the stone, the other alters the chemical composition of the stone. A number of examples of stone preservation carried out in the United Kingdom are taken to illustrate stone preservative methods and a case history outlining the lime method as used to preserve limestone statuary at the West Front of Wells Cathedral is given.

摘要:

Over the last two decades the case for energy efficient commercial buildings has been argued specifically on the requirement to reduce the overall energy use for the good of the building owners-through reduced energy costs; the nation—by reducing the need for expensive energy producing facilities; the international community—by the reduction of use of usually non-renewable energy. The soaring energy costs proposed in the scenario have not eventuated although the basic situation has not changed and they may well eventuate at any time due to political events largely beyond our control.
