Casa Wakasa / wHY ArchitectureSave this projectSaveCasa Wakasa / wHY Architecture Text description provided by the architects. Casa Wakasa, home to a young family of four is located in the suburbs of Osaka, Japan. The house attempts to be both a reflection into contemporary Japan’s family life (sense of family vs. privacy) as well as a solution to balance individual freedom and space with collective activities and time.The basic unit of the house is an amalgam of a room and an outdoor courtyard; each room for each member of the family has an integrated garden as its counterpart.

The father who works as a dentist from 9AM to 9PM everyday wants to have a place in his own house that at the end of the day he could withdraw even from his family, his wife and two young daughters, to pursue the subjects of his personal interest – music, films and books. This open glass room, connecting to the house only through an underground corridor, is the sanctuary where he can be himself. The family has meals and activities together in the family living and dining room but each one of them could withdraw into their own world in their own room / garden. Save this picture!The spine promenade / passage linking all the rooms is designed as an “engawa”, the semi-outdoor transitional space seen in traditional Japanese architecture. This implies its ambiguous and transitional essence; it is not a room yet functions as one, not merely a corridor but used as linkage. Like traditional “engawa”, it is the true linkage in many senses; it links the indoor rooms with outdoor gardens, links spaces together into a composition, and it links multiple individual worlds into a family.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessWaterflux / R&Sie(n)ArticlesAravena buildings in Sketchup / ORDOS 100Articles Share Houses Year: CopyHouses•Osaka, Japan Casa Wakasa / wHY Architecture Projects CopyAbout this officewHY ArchitectureOfficeFollowProductsGlassConcrete#TagsProjectsBuilt ProjectsSelected ProjectsResidential ArchitectureHousesOsakaHousesJapanPublished on December 12, 2008Cite: “Casa Wakasa / wHY Architecture” 12 Dec 2008.

Contractor: Architect In Charge:Sean RadfordDesign Team:Sean Radford, Alison NobbsAssistant Architects:Trevor Black, Laura BagnatoCity:SydneyCountry:AustraliaMore SpecsLess SpecsText description provided by the architects. It was felt important from the outset that the new works drew from the original house as a basis for investigation, concrete as a heavy material was selected over framed construction. The new works boldly reinterprets the structure and materiality of the elements that make up the original Victorian era cottage. The off form concrete draws on the solidity of the original masonry structure whilst introducing a new materiality. The narrow openings of the original facade are reinterpreted in similarly proportioned forms for a new period. An emphasis on vertical openings creates an alliance with the original fenestration. Save this picture!Courtesy of Nobbs Radford ArchitectsThe project is not primarily focused on the connection to external spaces but looks inward with interconnections of cloistered spaces, created and selected framed openings. The outer concrete elements contrast with the timber elements that further define the various internal zones and functions within the house.The depth of the rear facade creates an interstitial threshold which is a space in itself to be occupied and provide a sense of enclosure. The idea is to create intermediating spaces that ground the house in relation to both its interior and exterior.Within the house the void acts as a centralising space via which other areas of the house interconnect.Save this picture!Courtesy of Nobbs Radford ArchitectsStructurally the house created many demands, we wanted the stacked concrete elements of the rear facade to appear to load at “zero points” at the surface of the facade. We worked with the structural engineers over many meetings to find a resolution that worked for all. Gratefully the house has recently been awarded best small building at the inaugural ACSE awards.Thermal modeling was performed on the schematic 3D model and the use of concrete added to the thermal performance of the building considerably to the point where double glazing was not considered necessary.Save this picture!Courtesy of Nobbs Radford ArchitectsComplementing materials of near raw fifteen metre continuous length floor boards and a restrained palette of black aluminium, stainless steel and oak appear throughout the house and create a cohesive connection between original and new. These materials were selected, partially, so as not to compete with the ornate patterning of the original house along with their own inherent qualities.The project’s fundamental rationale is to create a family home that recognised the various needs of the occupiers, spaces for children and adults with a flexibility for both retreat and engagement.Save this picture!Courtesy of Nobbs Radford ArchitectsSustainabilitySignificant sections of the house are constructed from single skin concrete, which given its thermal mass,longevity and embodied energy as say in comparison to steel was considered a sound choice as a building material for the temperate climate of Sydney.Save this picture!Courtesy of Nobbs Radford ArchitectsThermal modeling was performed on the schematic 3D model and the use of concrete added to the thermal performance of the building considerably to the point where double glazing was not considered necessary.Transport of concrete was from the Hanson site in Glebe less than 2km from the site.Save this picture!Second Floor PlanThe house is designed and constructed for longevity. Aside from the materiality the use of narrow openings with deep reveals to the rear western facade aids in reducing direct sun in the summer months.The timber flooring material is from a fourth generation family owned business from plantation forests FSC and PEFC certification. The flooring is finished with soap and lye which are inert materials with E0 organic volatile emission.Save this picture!Courtesy of Nobbs Radford ArchitectsProject gallerySee allShow lessA Theory of Architecture Part 2: The Adaptive Design MethodArticlesLight Matters: Sacred SpacesArticles Share Architects: Nobbs Radford Architects Area Area of this architecture project ShareFacebookTwitterPinterestWhatsappMailOrhttps://www.archdaily.com/490952/glebe-house-nobbs-radford-architects Clipboard 2013 Glebe House / Nobbs Radford ArchitectsSave this projectSaveGlebe House / Nobbs Radford Architects ArchDaily CopyHouses•Sydney, Australia Structural Engineer: Yuncken Construction Year: Area: 250 m² Area: 250 m² Year Completion year of this architecture project Nobbs Radford Architects Glebe House / Nobbs Radford Architects Projects

Three types of innovation at CRUKWaudby’s arguments were supported by Richard Taylor, CRUK’s ceo and chair of the Institute of Fundraising, who said the sector was “lazy” in the way it came up with new charity fundraising ideas to deal with the challenges facing individual giving.“We like look for something shiny and new and we badge it,” he said. “But we are nibbling at the same market and not growing it. Perhaps those who take more risks will get a bigger slice of the pie.”Taylor explained that CRUK focused on three types of innovation:1. Strategic – identifying strategic gaps in the charity’s fundraising, such as not having a presence on a particular fundraising medium, and coming up with new ideas to solve that. Speaking later at the conference, Janine Chandler, CRUK’s head of innovation development, cited Dryathalon, Citizen Science and the Race for Life app as some of CRUK’s successful strategic innovations. But she also said there had been some strategic failures, including Man vs Everything and Mute A Mate.2. Radical – looking forward to the future issues and “reinventing” the way fundraising is done to be ready to meet those challenges. As radical innovators, Taylor said CRUK saw itself as “having a leadership role in the sector” in respect of innovation, “imagining what fundraising might be like 10 years from now”.3. Tactical – opportunistic innovation that picks up on trends and allows CRUK to “play in the same space” as other charities. • Speaking the following week at the International Fundraising Congress in the Netherlands, professor Adrian Sergeant, director of Plymouth University’s Centre for Sustainable Philanthropy said that “failure is the acceptable cost of innovation.” Tagged with: innovation British fundraising suffering from an ‘innovation deficit’ Howard Lake | 28 October 2014 | News The approaches to innovation at MarsAt a different session at the conference, David Thomas, innovation programme leader at confectionary and pet food company Mars, described how the company’s innovations process had gone through three stages since the 1990s.Idea-centric (1990s) – product development was led by the Mars team coming up with new ideas. This was the time when “ideas were gold” but there was “no need to talk to consumers to find out what they wanted, you’d just have to get the marketing team in the room and brainstorm”.Insight-centric (2000s) – product development was led by identifying customer needs and wants and fulfilling them. Taylor said Mars operated by the principle of ‘deep customer immersion’. Quality of goods and value for money became the goal.Growth-centric (2010s) – Taylor said that innovation is now seen as a strategy that has growth as the outcome with four components: mergers and acquisitions, expansion, redefining brand and new products.He also cited research conducted by the Harvard Business Review that showed that 42 per cent of the success of a new initiative is attributable to the commitment of senior leadership.

But we are not good at taking at taking risks on new products.”Kevin WaudbyWaudby suggested there were five factors underpinning the deficit:1) ‘Safe’ leadership – which assumes that innovation would “just happen” and did not set aside the time or space to allow innovation to develop, often driven by a focus on short-term targets and an aversion to risk2) In-fighting for the ‘emotional’ pound – which assumes that giving happens across a spectrum of motivations, but that the sector currently focuses overly on generating an emotional response to encourage giving, rather than other, more transactional but under-explored, motivations3) Insight-lite new product development – which assumes the sector relies too much on data as the only source of ‘insight’ into new product development; but relying on data alone would not provide the ‘depth’ to the problems innovative fundraising is trying to solve.4) Innovation ‘in-capability’ – which assumes that developing and driving new ideas to deliver value takes a broad range of skills and expertise that are as yet generally under-developed in the sector5) Creativity is the same thing as innovation – which assumes that there’s still a mistaken belief that creativity and ideas are the end game of innovation, rather than the hard work of actually delivering new ideas to market and adding value to the bottom line.

Acuna, Founder and CEO of The Pizza Plant, and Ravi Choudhry, Co-Founder and CIO, why their business supports Union Station Homeless Services, their answer is simple: They want to be good neighbors and partner with an organization that was already impacting lives in the community.“As I grow older and ponder the meaning of life, I find myself returning to the same answer.” says Acuna. “It’s family, friends, and community. And as we considered how best to support the Pasadena community, Union Station Homeless Services emerged as the clear and absolute choice,”Led by Chef Rachel Carr, The Pizza Plant is located in Pasadena on Madison Avenue, at the corner of Green Street. However, Acuna and Choudhry have a vision of opening up to 1,000 stores in three years. Store number two is already opening in Venice this fall, and a custom food truck on its way. Of the 4,200 plus food trucks in the U.S., The Pizza Plant’s truck will be the only 100% organic, plant-based, pizza truck.For Union Station Homeless Services, support from The Pizza Plant is more than a food donation. “We were immediately drawn to the fact that The Pizza Plant has a philanthropic mission,” says Stephanie Harris, Director of Special Programs at Union Station. “The community awareness that these partnerships provide is so integral to the success of Union Station. When we can connect with their patrons and staff about the amazing work we are doing to rebuild lives in San Gabriel Valley, it inspires people to become part of the solution to end homelessness!”With 45 years of providing life-changing services, Union Station Homeless Services the largest homeless services provider in San Gabriel Valley.

Last year, they helped more than 700 find housing last year – that is nearly 2 people a day.So the next time you have a craving for pizza, consider The Pizza Plant.

Predicting the future of our Earth and its climate requires models that contain good representations of the key processes that might take place. Our only way to determine what these processes are, and to test the models, is tolook at the past. Numerous “palaeo” [Gk palaios ‘ancient’]archives exist, ranging from tree rings to marine sediments, but ice cores have played a crucial role in helping us to understand how the Earth works. For example, Greenland ice cores have shown us that extremely rapid climate changes centred in the North Atlantic region arepossible, and that natural changes in concentrations ofgreenhouse gases and in climate have been closely linked in the past. Most of what is measured on ice cores is really chemistry. In this article, based on his 2007 ECG DGL, Dr Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey, describes how ice cores work, and summarises some of the keyfindings that have emerged from measuring their chemistry.

McDermott begins construction at new fabrication facility in Saudi Arabia. (Credit: PRNewsfoto/McDermott International, Inc.) US-based engineering, procurement, construction and installation firm McDermott has started construction at its new fabrication facility within the King Salman International Complex for Maritime Industries and Services, in Ras Al-Khair, Saudi Arabia.The complex site, being developed by Saudi Aramco, is said to be the largest maritime industries complex in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Middle East region, in production, capacity and scale.McDermott Middle East and North Africa senior vice president Linh Austin said: “This project will see a new world-class McDermott yard with innovative equipment, technology and processes. As the first EPC Contractor to establish a full-scale fabrication facility in Saudi Arabia, we will build on generations of knowledge and experience within McDermott to create something extraordinary.“But this project is also about people, and we will continue building our in-Kingdom engineering and procurement offices as well as sourcing and developing local talent on all levels in the company.”McDermott is building new fabrication facility within Saudi Aramco’s complexSaudi Aramco has signed a land lease agreement with McDermott Arabia, a subsidiary of McDermott International in March 2019, granting McDermott a lease to establish the fabrication facility.Under the terms of the land lease agreement, McDermott will benefit from the infrastructure across the complex developed by Saudi Aramco, including employee accommodation, medical facilities and recreation areas.McDermott has started the building the advanced facility, in an area covering 1,200,000m2 within the King Salman International Complex for Maritime Industries and Services.The new fabrication facility will include offices, pre-fabrication shops, blasting and painting shops and large assembly shops capable of fabricating platforms and modules for both offshore and onshore projects for Saudi Aramco and other customers in the region.In addition, the fabrication facility will incorporate an area of up to 80,000m2 for shops to house advanced automation technology, and a 580m reinforced bulkhead to provide marine access.Saudi Aramco technical services senior vice president Ahmad A Al-Sa’adi said: “The King Salman International Complex for Maritime Industries and Services would offer opportunities for strategic industries to operate and flourish in the Kingdom and enable localizing the maritime industry.” The new facility will include offices, pre-fabrication shops, blasting and painting shops and large assembly shops capable of fabricating platforms and modules
Home » News » Agencies & People » Hello? Is anybody there? previous nextAgencies & PeopleHello? Is anybody there?New research finds that agents ignore 1 in 3 leads… and they take rather too long to reply to emails.The Negotiator10th September 20160828 Views New research by the lead control system Callwell has found that agents take an average of seven working hours and 11 minutes to respond to email leads – with a significant 36 per cent not being responded to at all within two working days.“It’s become so ‘normal’ for branches not to deal with some leads at all that potential clients clearly remember those that do respond – and respond quickly,” says Callwell Managing Director, Mal McCallion (left).“Not only does an immediate response mean you catch the potential client instantly – and don’t have to waste hours leaving or responding to messages with or from them – your impressively swift call could also make the difference between you winning an instruction or letting a competitor do so.”Callwell’s data backs up a Rightmove 2016 survey which found that 39 per cent of their email leads weren’t dealt with inside 24 hours. If a business does not get back to the client within a day, Callwell’s figures suggest, only 3 per cent are likely to call them on day two.The average response time of agents that use Callwell, by contrast, is 48 minutes and 100 per cent of leads were responded to.Greg Tsuman (right), Lettings Director of Martyn Gerrard says, “Callwell has made a huge difference to our business. It helps us enhance customer service experience – and we get to the leads much faster than any of our competitors.”“There’s no doubt that Callwell can help quality agents win more business, at stronger fee rates, by harnessing the control that the system provides across every branch in an agent’s network,” adds Malcolm McCallion. “We’re here to ensure that the best agents consistently win more business at proper commissions, based on the demonstrable speed and control of their lead response.”Callwell was created in 2013 by Rob Wellstead and relaunched to the wider estate and letting industry in 2016, following its discovery by industry leader Bob Scarff. In partnership with start-up expert Mal McCallion, Rob and Bob have created PropTech Solutions, a venture dedicated to bringing cutting-edge and easily applicable technologies to the property market.For more information please contact Mal McCallion on 0777 9099 782 or [email protected] response times research email response times September 10, 2016The NegotiatorWhat’s your opinion?
