        Daniel Busbee10.10-One construct that he mentions throughout the lecture was urban design and policy. This program pertains to the arrangement, appearance, and functionality of towns and cities and in particular the shaping and use of urban public space. It goes into detail on how public places are experienced and used and how they can be designed to alter views. Urban design is a disciplinary subset of urban planning and architecture, and sometimes landscape architecture. Urban design also works hand in hand with the center for quality growth and regional development. Interdisciplinary- combining or involving two or more academic disciplines or fields of study. Direct Digital Manufacturing- a manufacturing process which manifests physical parts directly from 3D CAD files or data using additive fabrication techniques, also called 3D printing or Rapid Prototyping. Technology Integration- Describes the effective uses of technology for various disciplines and how it is integrated into the work of the students. Some of the primary disciplinary involved in the lecture include design/build, eco-design and green construction, urban design, community design, and also interiors and furnishings. There are professional issues that arise with each of these disciplines for example urban design; we rely on these people for adequate planning for the growth of cities and also the US. Green construction also poses many questions on how to build and save money through green construction technology that has been growing somewhat frequently. 10.15- Dr. Kangari explained the process of the design/build concept and emphasized on how communication between the different aspects of building is an essential tool to construction. He explains how BC is half the part of the design build team, which works hand in hand with the other half which is composed of architects and designers. He explains the process of the design build system going through the steps: Owner, Develop, Design, Build, and Operate. He then goes into an even bigger circle that contains all the aspects and individuals needed to successfully bring the construction process together. Master builder-the leader with a holistic view of a project who takes responsibility for integrating all aspects Procurement-is the acquisition of goods and/or services at the best possible total cost of ownership, in the right quantity and quality, at the right time, in the right place for the direct benefit or use of governments, corporations, or individuals, generally via a contract. Design Programming- allows owner to decide the type of structure to build. A professional question that I believe is addressed in this lecture is where do you think the design/build and all aspects of the construction world working hand in hand will take us in the future. Working together instead of separately will have what kind of impacts in the construction industry? The primary discipline in his lecture is the correlation of all the different aspects of construction working together to eliminate the hassle and miscommunication seen today. 10.22 Professor Mulick touches down on the main term that his to deal with ID which is design. He discusses design as a verb and noun, verb: refers to the process of originating and developing a plan for a new object (machine, building, product, etc.) noun: used both for the final plan or proposal (a drawing, model, or other description), or the result of implementing that plan or proposal (the object produced). Mock-Up: is a scale model of a structure or device, usually used for teaching, demonstration, testing a design, etc Anthropometry-refers to the measurement of living human individuals for the purposes of understanding human physical variation Cognitive-of or pertaining to the mental processes of perception, memory, judgment, and reasoning, as contrasted with emotional and volitional processes. Design, which is the primary discipline, is a creative activity whose aim is to establish the multi-faceted qualities of objects, processes, services and their systems in whole life-cycles. Product development is based on the discipline of simplifying process or adopting technology, and/or demonstrating concern for the environment, and whether or not it builds community. Lecture 9.10 The speaker of this lectre covered the general topic of disability and went further into assistive technology use. The author starts off broad with the overview of disabilty and then narrowed it down to assitive technology then further narrowed it down into the types of assistvie technology. A construct the he brought up was putting yourself into the shoes of the person with the disabilty, and in doing that he makes you realize how something you might think isn't a disabilty actually is. The construct barrier free education caught my eye. I looked into this and found out that there are many groups that help teachers and students with the learning and teaching experiance, and to make it more accesible and having assistive technology to help out teachers with disabilities. Lecture 9.12 I enjoyed this lecture, he gave a view from the center. He had been involved with all types of construction and architecture. He structured his lecture on how construction has developed overtime and what is to come in the future, and also what we lack in the construction industry ( such as the lack in R&D). A few terms that he mentioned were turn key and design build. Turn key being that the same general contractor builds the house from start to finish and it is ready to live in when construction is complete. Lecture9.14 This lecture went over how new technologies can be used in urban planning and over the center for geographic information systems. He overviewed the different ways of how this planning technology can help out the building industry and be used in urban planning. An interesting term he used was impervious surface, which means areas covered by inpenatrable surfaces which prevent percolation of runooff into the ground. He asked a good question saying,"What can you do to reduce the negative impacts of growth and development?" And I believe that research needs to be done to find a way to make these areas possibly penetrable or certain areas that are designated for this. Links to this Page
