This chapter looks at the opportunities and uncertainties of globalisation in terms of the production of world knowledge, with an emphasis on the factors that limit the distribution and fair use of this knowledge for the benefit of less advanced countries. ...
This book shows the fifth incarnation of Architecture without Content. Architecture without Content started three years ago at Columbia University. Back then it was intended as a study of the Big Box, a big industrial building that could contain many thing ...
The Gebidem Dam located on the Massa River intercepts annually around 400’000 m3 of solid material. These sediments must be evacuated by annual flushing of the reservoir over 4 to 7 days. A trend for silting in the flushing channel was observed during the ...
