SPACE SYNTAX

Bill Hillier ist Professor für architektonische und urbane Morphologie an der University of London, Vorsitzender der Bartlett School of Graduate Studies und Leiter des Space Syntax Laboratorys an der University of London. Er besitzt einen DSc (gehobene Doktorenwürde) an der University of London. Als ursprünglicher Wegbereiter der Methode zur Analyse räumliche Muster, die unter dem Namen "Space Syntax" bekannt wurde, ist er auch Verfasser von The Social Logic of Space (Cambridge University Press, 1984, 1990), das eine allgemeine Theorie über das Verhältnis von Menschen zu dem sie umgebenden, gebauten Raum darlegt, ‘Space is the Machine’ (CUP 1996) das den grundlegenden Untersuchungsstand zu dieser Theorie beeinhaltet, sowie zahlreicher Artikel, die sich mit dem Raum und dessen Wirken befassen. Auch über andere Aspekte der Architekturtheorie hat er ausgiebig geschrieben

Specifically Architectural Knowledge

Specifically Architectural Knowledge is a partial account of the ascent from building as cultural transmission to architecture as theoretical concretion. The article is based on a lecture, given at Harvard, 6th October 1990. It has first been published in the Harvard Architectural Review Vol. 9 (publishers: Rizzoli, New York)

Aging in Hollywood: Planning for Seniors in a Changing Neighborhood

The Hollywood Group investigated the Hollywood District to access how well its built environment and neighborhood services meet the needs of its substantial elder population. A goal was to connect the concerns expressed by seniors and their hopes for the future of the area to other visions for Hollywood currently being developed. The Aging in Hollywood Project provides a senior perspective on such issues as community design, transportation and access, neighborhood services, housing choices and community involvement. Public outreach activities were the primary methods used to gather input from the Hollywood elder population on these issues. Methods used included focus groups, interviews, a neighborhood walk, and the development and application of a community design assessment form oriented to the needs of seniors

Un acercamiento basado en evidencias reales sobre crimen y diseño urbano. O ¿cómo obtenemos vitalidad, sostenibilidad medio ambiental y seguridad a la vez?

The following research calls into question some of the most deeply held assumption that have been made on all sides about the relation between spatial design and security. The most important of these is perhaps the ‘safety in numbers’ argument that challenges long held beliefs that small is somehow beautiful in designing for well-working, low-risk communities. On the basis of the evidence we have presented we can argue that the benefi ts of a residential culture become more apparent with larger rather than smaller numbers. A no less challenging implication of this body of evidence is that the relation between crime and spatial design may not pass through the intervening variable of community formation. Again, the evidence suggests that the simple fact of human co-presence in space, coupled to simple physical features of buildings or spaces is enough to explain differences in victimization rates in different types of location and area, albeit with variations due to social factors. 1234El siguiente artículo cuestiona algunos de las creencias más enraizadas que se han hecho a lo largo del tiempo entre el diseño espacial y la seguridad. La más importante de estas es quizás el argumento sobre la ‘seguridad en números’ que se contrapone a la creencia de diseñar para grupos pequeños, en comunidades de bajo riesgo. En base a la evidencia que aquí se presenta se puede argumentar que los benefi cios de una cultura residencial son más aparentes con grupos grandes que con grupos pequeños. Otra implicancia importante de esta investigación es que la relación entre criminalidad y diseño espacial no pasaría a través de la variable de ‘formación de comunidad’. Nuevamente la evidencia sugiere que el simple factor de co-presencia de usuarios en el espacio, junto a simples variables físicas de edificios o espacios es suficiente para explicar las diferencias en proporciones de delincuencia en distintos tipos de áreas y lugares, aunque con algunas diferencias dadas ciertas variables sociales. 123

Conducting visitor studies using smartphone-based location sensing

Visitor studies explore human experiences within museums, cultural heritage sites, and other informal learning settings to inform decisions. Smartphones offer novel opportunities for extending the depth and breadth of visitor studies while considerably reducing their cost and their demands on specialist human resources. By enabling the collection of significantly higher volumes of data, they also make possible the application of advanced machine-learning and visualization techniques, potentially leading to the discovery of new patterns and behaviors that cannot be captured by simple descriptive statistics. In this article, we present a principled approach to the use of smartphones for visitor studies, in particular proposing a structured methodology and associated methods that enable its effective use in this context. We discuss specific methodological considerations that have to be addressed for effective data collection, preprocessing, and analysis and identify the limitations in the applicability of these tools using family visits to the London Zoo as a case study. We conclude with a discussion of the wider opportunities afforded by the introduction of smartphones and related technologies and outline the steps toward establishing them as a standard tool for visitor studies

Search for dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks in √s = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for weakly interacting massive particle dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks is presented. Final states containing third-generation quarks and miss- ing transverse momentum are considered. The analysis uses 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at √s = 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. No significant excess of events above the estimated backgrounds is observed. The results are in- terpreted in the framework of simplified models of spin-0 dark-matter mediators. For colour- neutral spin-0 mediators produced in association with top quarks and decaying into a pair of dark-matter particles, mediator masses below 50 GeV are excluded assuming a dark-matter candidate mass of 1 GeV and unitary couplings. For scalar and pseudoscalar mediators produced in association with bottom quarks, the search sets limits on the production cross- section of 300 times the predicted rate for mediators with masses between 10 and 50 GeV and assuming a dark-matter mass of 1 GeV and unitary coupling. Constraints on colour- charged scalar simplified models are also presented. Assuming a dark-matter particle mass of 35 GeV, mediator particles with mass below 1.1 TeV are excluded for couplings yielding a dark-matter relic density consistent with measurements
