TRANSFER FROM PRACTICE INTO RESEARCH: PERFORMATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ARCHITECTURE
Tue, Mar 28, 2006 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
SPEAKER:Thomas Spiegelhalter. R.A. EU, ISES, LEED AP
Architect, Engineer, Industrial Designer, Town Planner
University of Southern California, School of ArchitectureAbstract:From the controversy discussion of climate change, to power deregulation, to suburban sprawl to the rapid proliferation of information technology, change is ocurring at a more rapid pace than at any other time in our history.The 21st century is marked by a necessary reengagement of Architecture, Engineering, Building Science, Urban Design and Landscape Architechture with the environment.Building infrastructure, and the landscape are inextricably linked. Energy, materials, water and land are all consumed in the development and operation of cities and infrastructure, while the urban environment itself affects our living conditions, social well being and health.Japan and the European Union, faced with higher energy costs and high density building conditions, have been leading the way globally with innovative ideas and financial incentives to produce better performing infrastructures, operative landscapes and buildings. For example, thes o called European "low", "zero" and "plus" energy buildings and city districts state-of-the-art codes are well known, anchored in nationwide energy-saving policies and performative post occupancy monitoring, guidelines and certifications, to approve the annual energy balance of states, neighborhoods and buildings wih respect to resources, the public grid operation, and to stabilize CO2 emission according to the Kyoto Protocol of the UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE.Designing sustainable and performative measurerable projects in Europe-and particularly in Germany, where sustainability is imbued in the natinal culture, provides architects,engineers and researchers with valuable experiences into the broad spectrum of public policy, energy security, financing , utility infrastructure, and building codes that cumulatively support sustainability and resource efficient building systems and infrastructures.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - rielian Hall, Room 203

USC CS Colloquium Series
Tue, Mar 28, 2006 @ 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Prof. Karl BöhringerUWLecture title TBD Biosketch:
Karl Böhringer is currently an associate professor in Electrical Engineering with adjunct appointments in Computer Science & Engineering and in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle. He received both his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from Cornell University and his Diplom-Informatiker degree from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. During his dissertation work on distributed micromanipulation he designed, built, and tested multiple micro actuator arrays at the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility. He also spent a year as a visiting scholar at the Stanford Robotics Lab and Transducer Lab, where he collaborated on research in MEMS cilia arrays. From 1996 to 1998 he investigated techniques for parallel micro selfassembly as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. His current interests include micromanipulation and microassembly, as well as biomedical implants and bioMEMS for single-cell genomics and proteomics. At the University of Washington, he is a member of the Center for Nanotechnology and the NIH Microscale Life Sciences Center. His Ph.D. thesis was nominated for the ACM doctoral dissertation award. He received an NSF postdoctoral associateship in 1997, an NSF CAREER award in 1999, and was an NSF New Century Scholar in 2000. His work was featured among the Top 100 Science Stories in Discover Magazine's "Year in Science" in January 2003. He received the 2004 Academic Early Career Award from the IEEE Robotics and Autoation Society.Location: TBA
