Which points do you think are negligible? Why? After reading the report I do find it valid. The reason why is because through this article it states that biodiversity is a crucial factor for our species, health and overall the world in which we live in. I liked this article a lot it really opened up my eyes on something’s.
They respected the land, used in moderation and prioritized the whole tribe over themselves. Native Americans where “ecocentric”, as Arne Naess would put it, they were aware of the matter and energy that was interchanging with the environment. Continually, I believe humans and their “biocentric” attitude has contributed to the current ecological catastrophe. Nature was a basis for their spirituality. That is why they were able to coexist with many forms of life and the land and preserve instead of destroy the environment.
Dr Timothy Beatley is an internationally recognized sustainable city researcher and author. His writings have focused on creative strategies cities can use to reduce their ecological footprints and become more livable and equitable places in the process. Beatley coined the term green urbanism and uses it frequently in his writings to describe the planning process used to create a sustainable city. As the need to confront unplanned growth increases, planners, policymakers, and citizens are scrambling for practical tools and examples of successful and workable approaches. Growth management initiatives are underway in the U.S. at all levels, but many American "success stories" provide only one piece of the puzzle.
It can go globally, but it should be careful with culture of countries, and beware of other potential competitors. Before going globally, it should improve the company’s workforces, be better and offer best products and services. Attract or Relocate On my opinion, it is easier to bring the labor to the organization, than organization to labor for Tanglewood situation. Company has 12 regions, many region choices for people to live. It would be hard for Tanglewood to relocate.
Lambda Alpha International Lecture The lecture of Lambda Alpha was very interesting and I learned a lot from each of the presenters who talked about the certain areas of developing land and making use of limited space and property. Developing land is more complicated than expected. Not only does a developer have to deal with the government, but also deal with people, politicians, and time and place of the project development. What the three presenters touched most on was the mix use district. These districts are designed to minimize traffic outside of an area and keep it local and in one place so that people can get to commercial areas without having to go far and supposedly have an easier experience of shopping.
The work of Lin revolves around crucial awareness, not just the awareness of physical context, but also the awareness of psychological aspects relating to the site or installation. An emotional reaction becomes a viable reason for creating an artwork. In evoking an emotional response from the visitor, her intent is to create a sense of place, unencumbered with detail; the landscape must be allowed to remain integral to the project, rather than dominate it. The work must belong to the land and remain in harmony with the site as first seen. The meaning of the memorial was so great that Maya Lin’s minimalist design was enough for people to remember their loved ones.
Consumers themselves play a big role in how successful the building industry is. When consumers are buying and building new homes the building industry thrives, but when the buying and building stops the building industry seems to slow greatly costing many their jobs. Consumers can create economic growth when building and promoting building in newly constructed areas. New neighborhoods usually mean the building of new shopping malls and other businesses. Homeowners is existing
His creations brought forth a remarkable range of forms and textures. Gaudi adopted a free flowing, expressive way. The multifaceted geometrical patterns of a Gaudi building somehow tended to correspond with the architectural structure. The end result is that as a whole, the entire structure, including its surface, gives the impression of being a natural object, in complete harmony with all the laws of nature. Such a sense of total unity was also a key factor in Gaudi’s life.
After done the analysis of comparison between Honda and NVT, it’s obvious to see Honda had benefited from its efficient labor and equipment allocation, modern design and close relationship with both supplier and distributors. From my own opinion, the priority of NVT’s management team is gain back the US market share by reducing the production cost and improved its R&D. *Close two factories in England and centralize global R&D function in Meriden factory, but design consideration must be changed to cost oriented and components standardization *Move Motorcycle assembly line to Southeast Asia (lower cost) *Outsourcing the engine and frame parts in Asia (lower
My admiration in both complex and simple designs was what provoked me in pursuing a career in engineering. I was also motivated by the climates and weather on how it changes the world and the living conditions, which underline the importance of how modern life should be like by the benefits studying them. I am also interested in improving our living conditions and thus the study climatology or meteorology engineering provides me with the opportunity. How will the proposed study contribute to your career development? The proposed study will contribute to my future career development by providing a broad weather and climate engineering education in terms of educating me with the relevant skills and knowledge to be successful as professionals within organizations or industries.
