CAL POLY UNIVERSITY HOUSING APARTMENT GUIDE

Roofs were made from red clay tiles, much like our roofs today. First create the sloping roofs out of card. To make the card the right shape, cut strips that are just a little longer than each box and twice as wide. Either paint each roof a red, rusty colour to represent tiles, or stick on small squares of red painted paper in layers to create a tile effect. Fold the strips of card in half and place on top of each box to create a sloping roof. Secure in place with sticky tape on the inside of the roof. Fill in the triangular gap at either end of the roof with...

VILLA SAYANG GILI MENO

Stand your four buildings in place on the base following our floor plan. Before you stick them down, mark out where you would like to have the windows and doors. Windows would have been rectangular in shape with wooden frames and light green or blue glass. Doors were made from wooden boards, with two supporting planks added horizontally for extra strength. Draw or paint the windows and doors on the walls using a black pen to add detail. Now your buildings are ready, stick them to the main base. This should leave a large space in the middle of your buildings which will be your courtyard....

SHANTI MAURICE A NIRA RESORT

At the front of your villa create a grand entrance with an open veranda held up with pillars. How many pillars you will need will depend on the size of your villa, but you’ll probably want around four to six, divided on either side of a wider opening. You can make these from toilet or kitchen roll tubes or by rolling a piece of card into a tube and securing with sticky tape. The pillars should be a couple of centimetres shorter than buildings 1 and 3. Paint your pillars brown to look like wood. Use tabs of sticky tape to secure your columns to the base of...

THE MATHEMATICS OF THE IDEAL VILLA

Many Roman villas had under-floor heating which would have been especially useful in the British winter! The Roman name, hypocaust, is Ancient Greek meaning ‘fire beneath’. The floor was supported on short columns made of stacked tiles. A fire would be kept burning (very hard work for the slaves!) in the furnace room, and the hot air would move through the under-floor area, heating the rooms above. The hot air and smoke escaped through channels in the walls. To make your hypocaust system, you will need to raise up your whole villa by around 6cm. Create two piles of three or four books underneath buildings 1 and 3 and...

MONOCULAR IMPAIRMENT IN VIDEO DISPLAY TERMINAL OPERATORS A Case Series

You can split a large group into small teams each responsible for one aspect of the villa – the buildings, the roofs, the courtyard. To extend the activity, include cut-away rooms showing internal details such as mosaics and wall paintings. You can spread this activity over more than one session by making all the parts in session one and building in session two. Further sessions could include making mosaic floor (using the Make a Marvellous Mosaic pack) or making mini Romans to live in the villa - you can use Eric for inspiration. Visiting a Roman site can be a great way to inspire your group. Some sites even offer...

NORTHWOOD RAVIN: Signature Apartment Homes

The notion of Ecosystem Services (ES: (Daily 1997; Carpenter 2003; Kremen and Ostfeld 2005) provides a cohesive scientific view of the many mechanisms through which nature contributes to human well-being. Focusing on both the biophysical mechanisms of ES provision and the economic implications of ES use can allow our societies to balance the sides of the “nature vs. the economy” equation, leading to better management and governance (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2002). Unfortunately, the quantitative understanding to support quantification, spatial mapping and economic valuation of ES has lagged behind the popularity of the notion, making it difficult to productively use ES...

JAIPUR GREENS - EXCLUSIVE Luxury VILLAS

This article describes the ARIES methodology (ARtificial Intelligence for Ecosystem Services), an application of advanced ecoinformatics to support a more accurate, science-based ES analysis while at the same time reducing its complexity and cost for the user. As detailed later, ARIES is a web-accessible application (Figure 1) that builds and runs ad-hoc models of ecosystem services provision, use and spatial flow in a given area based on a user-dependent set of goals. The methodology, incorporated into a web-based, rapid assessment software toolkit that is being fine-tuned in case studies in Madagascar, Puget Sound and Mexico, is generating pilot applications in...

Colombeau's theory and shock wave solutions for systems of PDEs

The modern notion of ecosystem services can be traced back to at least the early 1970s. Since the late 1990s, however, several well-known studies have codified ecosystem services into generally accepted lists or typologies (Daily 1997; DeGroot, Wilson et al. 2002) The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2002; Mooney, Cropper et al. 2004; Pereira, Queiroz et al. 2005) classified ecosystem services into “supporting services,” the ecological processes and functions that generate other ecosystem services, “regulating services” that maintain global and local conditions at levels appropriate for human survival, “provisioning services” that offer physical resources directly contributing to human well-being,...

Yet recent authors have noted that the MA ecosystem services classification does not lend itself well to economic decision-making (Hein and van Ierland 2006; Boyd and Banzhaf 2007; Wallace 2007). This is because the MA categories do not explicitly link specific benefits to specific human beneficiaries of ecosystem services. Improved definition of these benefits and beneficiaries, combined with their spatial mapping, could aid in ecosystem service valuation, environmental accounting (Boyd and Banzhaf 2007), identification of winners and losers in conservation and development choices, and in supporting payments for ecosystem services programs. From a spatial perspective, the supply side of ecosystem services...

VILLA NURTAN BOZBURUN PENINSULA, TURKEY

A number of recent studies have used GIS analysis to measure the ecological factors contributing to the provision of certain services (Naidoo and Ricketts 2006; Beier, Patterson et al. 2008; Nelson, Mendoza et al. 2009). These studies explore how the provision of ecosystem services varies across the landscape. However, far fewer studies have explicitly identified the demand side, or human beneficiaries (Hein et al. 2006) or mapped these beneficiaries (Beier et al. 2008). Yet the need for such mapping is becoming increasingly recognized (Naidoo, Balmford et al. 2008). Supply and demand side mapping are complex, since ecosystem services provision and...

BREATHTAKING YET AFFORDABLE

The ARIES methodology is based on explicit conceptualizations (ontologies: Villa, Athanasiadis et al. 2009) that lay out first of all a novel vision of ES, based on the breakdown into individual benefits, each of which is modeled independently, then linked to the others. Domain ontologies in ARIES result from a large-scale expert consensus. Artificial intelligence techniques (machine reasoning, pattern recognition) examine source data and extract from the ontologies models that best represent the situation at hand. ARIES builds ad- hoc, probabilistic Bayesian Network models (Cowell, Dawid et al. 1999) that are used to map the ecological and socioeconomic factors contributing to the provision and use of ecosystem services. These models enable the use of corresponding GIS data to produce maps of...

ARIES (ARtificial Intelligence for Ecosystem Services ): a new tool for ecosystem services assessment, planning, and valuation.

Following the consensus points described above, we identify the specific benefits and beneficiaries that flow from the typical MA ecosystem services categories. We also identify the spatial data layers needed to map the location of these beneficiaries. In order to enable the ARIES modelling paradigm, all benefits must meet five requirements. Specifically, benefits must be: 1) quantifiable, 2) directly valuable to humans, 3) provided by one clearly identified natural entity or process, 4) used by one clearly identified human consumer, and 5) provided through the transfer of a clearly identified carrier substance that can be material, energetic or informational (e.g....

The Cucurbit Images (1515–1518) of the Villa Farnesina, Rome

In ARIES, Ecosystem Services are the effects on human well-being of the flow of benefits from an ecosystem endpoint to a human endpoint at given extents of space and time. The methodology combines spatially explicit models of ecosystem service provision and use with dynamic flow models to describe the distribution of benefits across the landscape. The exact form of these models depends on the specific context of application and is chosen by means of machine reasoning, on the basis of data analysis and ontological connotations of the services (e.g. the rival or non-rival nature of the benefits for their human...

Along with providing more realistic views of ecosystem service provision and use, these flow maps can also enable improved value transfer. A better understanding of the relative strength of flow can identify regions more likely to provide higher or lower levels of value (Boyd and Wainger 2003). Indeed the flow of benefits is the only quantity that relates supply and demand and is a natural candidate for a quantitative statement of value. In order for a flow of benefit to exist, a potential for provision must coexist with a need for use; the marginal value is determined by the “difference...

The outputs of an ARIES session have numerous practical uses for conservation and economic development planning. Notably, they can show which regions are critical to maintaining the supply and flows of particular benefits for specific beneficiary groups. By prioritizing conservation and restoration activities around sources and sinks for particular services, benefit flows may be maintained or increased. Similarly, focusing development or extractive resource use outside these regions can prevent degradation of benefit flows. The impacts of proposed projects on human well-being can be more fully evaluated, as improvements or declines in ecosystem services received by specific populations can be demonstrated....

THE ULTIMATE IN LUXURY VILLA LIVING

By explicitly demonstrating spatial links from ecosystems to people and the strength of the flow of ecosystem services, we can better demonstrate how people gain value from ecosystem services. Beyond demonstrating the value of ecosystem services to individuals, improved maps of provision, use, and benefit flows can help guide various policy applications for ecosystem services. This can lead to both fuller appreciation of value by the groups that benefit most from nature’s services, and a better body of knowledge to enable sound decision making by society....

Villa Rotunda Redux - FAT for the 13th Architecture Biennale, Venice

Finally, specific maps for an ecosystem or beneficiary group of interest can also be generated. Such maps can show either 1) the parts of the landscape from which a given beneficiary’s benefits are derived, or 2) the beneficiary groups receiving benefits from a particular ecosystem region of interest (Johnson et al. unpublished). We have to date mapped only the spatial dynamics of carbon sequestration and storage, aesthetic views and aesthetic proximity. However, upcoming work will enable the mapping of a number of other ecosystem services, including aesthetic proximity value, flood regulation, soil retention, and the provision of food. Another forthcoming area...

APARTMENT RENTAL INSIDER SECRETS

Understanding the flow pattern of benefits from ecosystems to people is a problem that has eluded past work in ecosystem services. For many authors, the flow problem has been expressed as a “spatial mismatch” between ecosystem service provision and use (Hein et al. 2006, Costanza 2008). By explicitly demonstrating spatial links from ecosystems to people and the strength of the flow of ecosystem services, we can better demonstrate how specific beneficiary groups gain value from ecosystem services. Particularly in the developed world, the beneficiaries of ecosystem services are often unaware of their dependence on ecosystems. Mapping of the beneficiaries of...

Rotograph Evo 3D: Dental Panoramic and 3D system

In July 1923, the Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos arrived in Paris as a complete unknown. Some five years had passed since his first large-scale concert in Brazil; Villa-Lobos journeyed to Europe with the intention of publicizing his musical output. His entry into the Parisian art world took place through the group of Brazilian modernist painters and writers he had encountered in 1922, immediately before the Modern Art Week in São Paulo. Following his arrival, the composer was invited to a lunch in the studio of the painter Tarsila do Amaral where he met up with, among others, the poet Sérgio Milliet, the pianist João de Souza Lima,...

After the lunch, the artists became engrossed in a lively conversation which drifted into a discussion on the art of musical improvisation. Villa-Lobos, who had already composed an extensive repertoire of piano solos, then sat down to Tarsila’s Erard concerto to improvise. Immediately, Jean Cocteau, known for his boutades and his playful behaviour, sat underneath the piano on the ground, “so he could hear better.” At the end of Villa-Lobos’s improvisation, however, Cocteau returned to his chair and launched a ferocious attack on what he had heard: in his opinion, the music presented by the composer was no more than an emulation of the styles of...

The two artists began a heated discussion and came close to exchanging blows.1 This encounter can be taken as a defining moment in the twist taken by the personal and artistic career of Villa-Lobos as a result of his stay in Paris: it was only after this trip that he began to focus his efforts on producing a national form of music. The present article attempts to comprehend why this twist occurred at this moment and why Villa-Lobos’s artistic project assumed this specific content thereafter....

THE 2011 FIELD SEASON AT THE VILLA SAN MARCO, STABIAE: PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE EXCAVATIONS

What the described event marks is a moment where an expectation is shattered: the composer, who expected to become a big success in the French capital, had his art rejected by one of the most important figures from the city’s artistic scene. An event such as this is criss-crossed by innumerable social vectors. On one hand, a foreign artist, fresh from the ‘periphery,’ a recent arrival in the great cultural centre of the period; on the other, a Parisian artist completely established and at home in his setting. More than a purely aesthetic question, therefore, a whole series of cultural contents, legitimacies, representations and hierarchies was...

This analysis will serve as a starting point for us to focus on a broader subject. In fact, the study of the careers of the figures involved allows us to discuss the way in which cultural flows between centre and periphery work, taking as an example the musical scenes of France and Brazil in the 1920s. With the help of this empirical material, we can identify the social practices and mechanisms through which the social positions of these figures were supported and their differences legitimized. I shall start the article by sketching Heitor Villa-Lobos’s career up until his encounter with Cocteau in Paris. Subsequently, I focus...

Hence, in order for us to understand not just this encounter but also Villa-Lobos’s stay in Paris, we need to explore carefully the sociohistorical configuration in which both occurred. My intention, though, is not to trace a global ‘context’ in which these figures were ‘immersed.’ Such an approach would impoverish the analytic possibilities, since as Bensa argues (1998:46), “context is immanent to practices and makes up part of them.” Instead, we shall focus on the practices and relations established between the different social actors involved, determining through empirical research their social properties, aspirations and the moment they were passing through in their life histories....

This change of name signalled a desire for deeper changes. In fact, until then, the classical music produced in Brazil had circulated exclusively in Court circles. It was in 1841 that Francisco Manuel da Silva “put before the throne” a request for the creation of the Imperial Conservatory, a ‘civilizing environment’ that could place Brazil in the ensemble of the “most cultured nations” (Mello 1947 [1908]:219). Before this, the classical music produced in Brazil was for all intents confined to music for ecclesiastical functions, composed by chapel masters such as Marcos Portugal and Father José Maurício....

VILLA SPADA ORBICCIANO, NORTHERN TUSCANY

When the composer Leopoldo Miguéz took over the direction of the then National Institute of Music, in 1890, he made a point of imposing a ‘modern’ aesthetic in contrast to the ‘conservatism’ reigning there on his arrival. For Miguéz, ‘modern’ meant the German aesthetic of Wagner and the French aesthetic of Saint-Saëns, while ‘conservatism’ meant the insistence on privileging the Italian bel canto; at another level, Wagner, Saint-Saëns, Miguéz and the Republic were the modernity that came to substitute Verdi, the Conservatory and the emperor, a musical echo of the urban and ideological reforms through which the capital of the Republic was passing. Hence, social and political...

On the day after his nomination as director of the Institute, Miguéz abolished the Chair of Singing “due to a lack of teachers,” despite the large number of teachers in Italian bel canto working there. Qualified piano teachers who belonged to the same aesthetic were replaced or downgraded to lower posts, such as that of accompanist. Miguéz’s actions led to the formation of an opposing group to Rio de Janeiro’s newly constituted musical establishment; as a result of these events, aesthetic debate on classical music in Rio de Janeiro became polarized between Italian music and that of Richard Wagner....
