Better Regulations: The National Performance Reviewâs Regulatory Reform Recommendations
Skiftesverk 2.0 undersöker i vilken utstrĂ€ckning en kontexts befintliga och historiska material, tekniker, former och strukturer kan anvĂ€ndas i gestaltandet av ny bebyggelse. Detta för att hitta ett sĂ€tt att skapa ett mervĂ€rde i kontemporĂ€r arkitektur genom starkare kopplingar till en historisk kontext.Projektet beskriver ett sĂ€tt att utgĂ„ ifrĂ„n skiftesverk pĂ„ Ăland och sedan modernisera och omforma sĂ„vĂ€l sjĂ€lva byggtekniken som befintliga typologier. I presentationsmaterialet redovisas först teknikens bakgrund, historia och egenskaper tillsammans med material frĂ„n fĂ€ltstudier. UtifrĂ„n detta presenteras förslag pĂ„ hur sjĂ€lva tekniken kan effektiviseras och industrialiseras. Sedan följer gestaltningar av en moderniserad version av skiftesverk i sĂ„vĂ€l teknik som traditionell form och byggstruktur.Projektet Ă€r tĂ€nkt att belysa ett sĂ€tt att förhĂ„lla sig till hĂ„llbar arkitektur i termer sĂ„som inte bara ekonomiska utan Ă€ven ekologiska och kanske Ă€ven sociala aspekter.SKIFTESVERK 2.0 (POST-PLANK 2.0) examines the extent to which the context of existing and historical materials, techniques, forms and structures can be used in the shaping of new settlements. This is to find a way to add value in contemporary architecture through stronger links to a historical context.This project describes a way to first look at post-plank on Ăland and then modernize and reshape both the actual construction technique that existing typologies. The presentation material starts with describing the background of the technology with its history and characteristics along with material from field studies. Based on this, a proposal is presented showing how the technology itself can be streamlined and industrialized. Then follows a design of a modernized version of post-plank in both technology and traditional shape and construction structure.The project is meant to illustrate a way of relating to sustainable architecture in such terms as not only economic but also ecological and perhaps even social aspects
The Regulatory Reform Recommendations of the National Performance Review
Of ten recommendations Mr. Lubbers discusses, several were of particular interest. These include encouraging consensus-based rule making and ADR in enforcement, as well as ranking risks and improving regulatory science
Risk Regulation at the Federal Level: Administrative Procedure Constraints and Opportunities
An introduction to the legal framework within which employees of the twigs on our fourth branch of government must operate. Particular attention is given to research sponsored by the Administrative Conference of the United States which has dealt with, for example, process problems in resolving specific issues and in building consensus on broad policy matters. [Excerpt] âAdministrative agencies - the twigs on our fourth branch of government - are established to handle the details of administration deemed too painstaking, technically complex or even controversial for direct Congressional or Presidential involvement. In the current government structure, sometimes called the modem administrative state, these details of administration have taken on a paramount importance to us all. The Risks to public health and safety have become so well documented and ventilated that the various acronymic agencies that have been created to deal with the Risks (e.g., OSHA, FDA, EPA) have become highly visible twigs indeed. But the task of these agencies in the Risk regulation area is not an easy one. It is, indeed, extremely complex, painstaking and controversial - so much so that the increasingly robust Congressional and Presidential bureaucracies have gladly delegated major Risk management responsibilities to these agencies while seeking only to retain enough oversight and other controls to prevent political problems from penetrating the moat that separates the agency from the elected official. To understand the task that awaits the federal Risk regulator, one must understand the legal framework in which he or she must operate. Of course, science, engineering, medicine and philosophy (not to mention politics) play a crucial role in the substantive decision to be made, but the process requirements often affect the timing and nature of the ultimate decision.
