Three conference papers concerned with systems analysis and time management planning. One paper is concerned with techniques, especially the application of the "critical path method" or PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique) in planning construction activities. A second paper concerns problems associated with collecting and communicating…

Fallout protection can be built into a school building with little or no additional cost, using areas that are in continual use in the normal functioning of the building. A general discussion of the principles of shelter design is given along with photographs, descriptions, drawings, and cost analysis for a number of recently constructed schools…

A selected collection of architectural programming techniques has been assembled to aid architects in building design. Several exciting and sophisticated techniques for determining a basis for environmental design have been developed in recent years. These extend to the logic of environmental design and lead to more appropriate and useful…

The American Institute of Architects honored five recently completed university buildings whose architects solved the difficulties of site and scale: Columbia University's Computer Science Building, Dartmouth's Hood Museum of Art, Emory's Museum of Art, Princeton's Lewis Thomas Laboratory, and the University of California at Irvine's Computer…

Examines restrictive practices in law, medicine, and architecture, discussing government regulations, entry requirements, and restrictions on advertising. Also discusses how the fees charged for professional services are set and the business structure of the professions. (JN)

The form and structure of cultural space--the landscape--is in a constant process of change. The designer must understand the symbolic content and the cultural forces that compose the process of structural evolution. (Author/LBH)

Article focuses upon the basic frame of reference and methodology of behavioral psychology, its relationship to architecture and the promise that synthesis of the two disciplines holds for education. (Author)

The need to apply wilderness principles to architecture and the construction of buildings is explored. Earth-covered building designs are advocated, utilizing sewerless toilets, recycled wastes, and solar energy. A 15-item checklist illutrates how to construct a wilderness-based building. (BL)

Building systems are discussed as professional tools which architects can use to make schools, hospitals and institutions as flexible as desired. (FS)

A discussion of the necessity for architects to accept and incorporate the systems building technique in design. (FS)

First increment is a well-reasoned piece of urban design. (Author)

There is a natural progression from making single objects to creating sculpture. By modeling the forms of objects like funnels and light bulbs, students become aware of the quality of curves and the edges of angles. Sculptural form in architecture can be understood as consistency in the forms. (CS)

An analysis and a critique of how remodeling and extension of the Rice University School of Architecture, by James Stirling, Michael Wilford, and Associates, fits into the campus plan and its eclectic style established early in this century. (Author/MLF)
