It’s Not Because I’m Black
This piece is my way of responding to the accusations that a lot of minoritized peoples receive. Too often, they are asked to explain why they are offered an amazing opportunity. They do not owe anyone an explanation as to why they were chosen any more than their white counterparts would. It takes away from the joy of their success and can motivate them to avoid opportunities for success in the future
We are Designers Because We Can Abstract
Organised by: Cranfield UniversityDue to the increasing systems complexity, architecture design became an important issue. It gained
interest and its importance was framed in three domains: as a way to understand complex systems, to
design them, to manage their manufacturing process and to provide long-term rationality. The purpose of
this paper is, firstly, to survey the existing definition approaches on architecture. Secondly, we propose a
model for architecture design which articulates the potential linkage between two principle concepts:
synthesis and abstraction. Our proposal model focuses on abstraction concept and permits an effective
top-down design approach. It helps also designers to more respond to issues that characterize architecture
design.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Compan
Mass-Energy-Momentum: Only there because of Spacetime?
I describe how relativistic field theory generalises the paradigm property of material systems, the possession of mass, to the requirement that they have a mass-energy-momentum density tensor associated with them. I argue that the latter does not represent an intrinsic property of matter. For it will become evident that its definition depends on the metric field in a variety of ways. Accordingly, since the metric field represents the geometry of spacetime itself, the properties of mass, stress, energy and momentum should not be seen as intrinsic properties of matter, but as relational properties that material systems have only in virtue of their relation to spacetime structure
