After 10 years of exploring the possibilities and ways to integrate Research-by-Design into Architecture Design Studio Teaching and PhD Theses in Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urbanism at various universities in Europe and around the world, the time has come to investigate these matured/maturing research approaches in relation to existing paradigms of architectural research & design. DR_SoM is reporting from a series of academic workshops and seminars, organised by ARENA, an intern...

Grafieken kom je overal tegen: in de krant, op televisie, in wetenschappelijke publicaties en overheidsrapporten. Hoe goed zijn de grafieken die het brede publiek, journalisten, politici, wetenschappers en studenten met grote regelmaat tegenkomen? Een goede grafiek is een krachtig instrument om de boodschap in gegevens naar boven te halen. Maar er zijn ook veel slecht ontworpen grafieken die je makkelijk op het verkeerde been kunnen zetten.

Dit boek helpt je het kaf van het koren te scheiden. ...

Meets and aligns with various student backgrounds Pays explicit attention to basic formalities and technical language Contains varied problems and exercises Drives the narrative through questions

This revised fifth edition not only examines the new geographical patterns forming within and between cities, but also investigates the way geographers have sought to make sense of this urban transformation. It is structured into three sections: 'contexts', 'themes' and 'issues' that move students from a foundation in urban geography through its major themes to contemporary and pressing issues. The text critically synthesizes key literatures in the following areas:

- the urban world

- changin...

Developed from celebrated Harvard statistics lectures, Introduction to Probability provides essential language and toolsfor understanding statistics, randomness, and uncertainty. The book explores a wide variety of applications and examples, ranging from coincidences and paradoxes to Google PageRank and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Additional application areas explored include genetics, medicine, computer science, and information theory.

The authors present the material in an accessible s...
