Innovation for the urban age

The editors of this book, which incorporates many excellent papers of the 14th Winelands Conference at the School of Public Leadership of the University of Stellenbosch, would like to place on record their gratitude and acknowledgement to several people and organisations who made this publication a reality. First of all we would like to thank the University of Stellenbosch for their confidence in us in terms of assembling this book. They gave us complete freedom in terms of the editing. We would also like to thank the Director of the School of Public Leadership Prof. Dr. Johan Burger and the Director and Staff of the Winelands Conference led by Mr. David Daniels for the highly successful 2014 Winelands Conference. In this context, several people are thanked for their assistance in terms of ensuring that this publication initiative bears fruition.

Capital Cities and Urban Sustainability

This book provides insight into the unique role that capital cities can and should play as leaders in sustainability. The authors show persuasively that capital cities are different from other types of cities: they are home to the national government, numerous networks of NGSOs, media and think-tanks, and are linked though embassies to the wider global community. Capital cities can – potentially – stimulate the process of developing sustainability solutions in novel ways which in turn can be disseminated throughout the rest of the country, and the international community.

Green Building Materials

The concept of sustainability in connection to the production of building materials provides two directions. The first direction relates to the involvement in production as substitutes for traditional components of various industrial and domestic wastes, primarily construction waste. This approach requires pre-treatment of secondary raw materials, which is ultimately justified by a decrease in the volume of accumulated waste and the cost of storing it. The range of waste used is extensive: from construction debris, metallurgy, and thermal energy plant waste to worn tires and plastic containers. The second direction is the widespread use of natural materials as substitutes for traditional components in building materials. Various bio-additives and bio-fillers, bio-fibers as reinforcing and strengthening elements, are not a complete list of the possible use of bioresources in the production of building materials. The use of crop waste occupies a special place. Using volcanic rocks, various soils, sea and desert sand, etc., as building materials components also deserves close attention.

Structural geology. Second edition

There are a variety of manual compasses available to measure planar and linear structures, and we will not go through the details of how to use them here. In addition, there are several apps for smartphones that can be very useful (see online resources for more information). These apps allow you to easily measure, plot and directly or indirectly present measurements on maps or images, but they have their own shortcomings with respect to accuracy, battery power, etc. that must be taken into account. Unfortunately, different notations are being used for orientation measurements. In particular, planes can be represented by their strike/dip values, or by dip and dip direction (dip azimuth), and although conversion is simple, unambiguous field notes are important to avoid confusion.

Design Technology in Contemporary Architectural Practice

In parallel to his efforts in academia, Dominik established AEC Connect as an independent strategic BIM, Digital Engineering, and Design Technology consultancy, operating since 2009 in the Asia-Pacifc region. He frequently presents and publishes on Design Technology, (post) Digital Practice, and transdisciplinary collaboration. His BIM Manager’s Handbook (2016) has received wide praise from both industry and academia. The topics covered in his publications draw on the expertise he has established over the past two decades, and his approachable writing style makes them accessible for a wide audience.

Romanesque

A Romanesque church in a cemetery surrounded by countryside - such peaceful places give us a feeling of historical continuity. This, or something like it, one thinks, is what it looked like in the Middle Ages, when the church was built. Occasionally one is able to find a vantage point where there is nothing to remind one of the present. The attraction of these Romanesque country churches has something to do with their human proportions; they do not compel admiration by means of their imposing size, as city cathedrals do. And in addition, they are well away from the hurly-burly of everyday existence, and this sense of seclusion is reassuring. Many of these Romanesque churches used to be monastery churches, and some still are. The reason so many Romanesque monasteries are surrounded by beautiful countryside is that monasteries in the eleventh and twelfth centuries devoted themselves to their rural surroundings. This coincided with the interests of the feudal lords under whose protection monasteries were often placed. Preferred sites for new monasteries were quiet valleys - still in plentiful supply at that time, as European countries were only sparsely populated. Around 1200 (following a huge leap in the population after 1150), it is thought that 12 million people lived in France, 2.2 million in England, and 7 to 8 million people in the enormous (450,000 square miles) area that was the Holy Roman Empire.

Gothic architecture

In editing this book I have been encouraged, helped and cor- rected by many colleagues and friends. Without the energy and quick understanding of Alexandra Gajewski-Kennedy, who cheerfully stepped in at the later stages of the work to help as my research assistant, this edition would probably have never seen the light of day. Over the years, Christopher Wilson has put his learning and judgement at my disposal and saved me from many a faux pas. Peter Kidson has let me ransack his library and profit from his wisdom, and Peter Lasko deserves my thanks because he asked me to write the new cdition, and then showed a super- human patience at its intermittent progress. The work of bring- ing Frankl up-to-date began in the History of Art Department of Manchester University and ended at the Courtauld Institute in London, so I can look back with gratitude on two great art his- torical institutions and on friends and colleagues who inspired and supported me there. In Manchester I would single out Reg Dodwell (much-missed), Sue and Andrew Causey, Suzy and Humfrey Butters, David O'Connor, Christa Grössinger and the constant inspiration of Jonathan Alexander. Diane Sanderson engendered, and endured, my enthusiasms.
