<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-121" title="espresso" src="http://aleksandrium.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/espresso1.jpg" alt="espresso" width="304" height="317" /></p>
<p>Du står i ditt eget kjøkken. Kjenner duften av nykvernede kaffebønner. Du har nettopp laget deg en <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso" target="_blank">espresso</a></strong> &#8211; 3 centiliter perfeksjon i en bitte liten kopp. Beksvart. Fersk. Delikat og syrlig, hvilken aroma! Slurp. Bellizzima!</p>
<p>Denne gangen skal vi designe en espressomaskin for hjemmemarkedet, og det skal vi gjøre i grupper i stedet for individuelt. To fantastiske muligheter &#8211; og utfordringer &#8211; på én gang. Min gruppe (heretter referert til som &#8220;vi&#8221;) har bestemt oss for å lage en manuell maskin i middels prisklasse (5-10.000 eller deromkring) for den svorne entusiast og kaffe-elsker. Vi ser for oss en mann eller kvinne som har rundet de 45, har relativt god økonomi, barn som har flyttet hjemmefra og endelig tid til å dyrke hobbyer og litt (innbilt?) feinschmeckeri.</p>
<p>Så, hvorfor i all verden skal vi lage en espressomaskin? Det finnes da allerede et utall på markedet, og igjen et utall av disse fungerer upåklagelig og vel så det. Det finnes til og med en del <a title="Francis Francis" href="http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/07/illy/source/6.htm" target="_blank">modeller som ser riktig snertne ut</a>. Jo, nå skal du høre. Å lage en espresso er ikke bare å lage en espresso. I alle fall ikke om du tar din kaffe på alvor. For det første skal maskinen levere alle parametere en god espresso krever &#8211; høyt nok arbeidstrykk (visstnok 9 bar i filteret), perfekt og stabil temperatur, gode komponenter i kjele og rør, mulighet til å forvarme kopper til 45 C, steammuligheter for melk etc. etc. etc. I tillegg til dette må kaffen være helt fersk (espressomalt kaffe mister smak allerede etter noen få minutter så den bør kvernes på stedet), perfekt malingsgrad, du må ha rent vann i maskinen, riktig filter i filterholdere, en god <a title="Tamper" href="http://www.coffeetamper.com/" target="_blank">tamper</a> og kanskje en <a title="Knockbox" href="http://coffeegeek.com/proreviews/quickshot/grindenstein" target="_blank">knockbox</a>.</p>
<p>Phui. Så til poenget. Med slike krav til korrekt utstyr (og ja, det må faktisk til), sier det seg kanskje selv at måten du tilbereder kaffen på ikke bør være overlatt til tilfeldighetene. Det krever (visstnok) 800-1000 kopper før du klarer å produsere en perfekt espresso gang på gang. Synes du dette høres demotiverende ut? Vel, det gjør vi også. Og i dette ligger vår oppgave. Vi ønsker å designe en maskin som gir så lite som mulig rom for feiling, uten å ødelegge følelsen av at det er DU som har fått til den perfekte espresso-shot&#8217;en. Våre brukere har bare så mye tålmodighet, og kan lett miste interessen dersom baristavirksomheten ikke gir resultater. Og når brukeren en dag blir fullbefaren skal maskinen fortsatt svare til forventningene, og ikke føles som et opplæringsverktøy. I tillegg skal brukeren slippe å stå å klø seg i hodet; hva er denne knappen til? Interaksjonen mellom maskinen og brukeren skal være så god som overhodet mulig. Og at maskinen skal se bra ut er det vel nesten ikke poeng i å nevne. Vi er jo (i ferd med å bli) designere. Ingen enkel oppgave vi har tatt på oss, men så er vel det også nettopp poenget.</p>
<p>En del research har vi allerede gjort. Vi har vært hos <a href="http://www.sh.no/" target="_blank">Solberg og Hansen </a>for å se på kaffebrenning, smake på espresso og fikle med maskiner i hundretusenkroners-klassen. Vi har vært hos Nespresso og ehem, gjort oss noen erfaringer der, vi har hatt brukerintervjuer, snakket med espresso-nerdene hos <a title="Cortado" href="http://www.cortado.no/" target="_blank">Cortado</a>, snakket med hverandre og massakrert en maskin til 12.000 kroner klassen fikk låne av Solberg og Hansen (tusen takk, og en ytterligere én million takk for at dere fikser den OG sender den tilbake til oss!) og drukket oss selv til en gjeng skjelvende koffeinvrak. Selv har jeg tatt researchen så langt at jeg erstattet min trofaste, nedarvede Krups-maskin med en <a title="Gaggia Classic Coffee" href="http://www.kaffe.no/?l=5&#38;ls=158&#38;h=398" target="_blank">Gaggia Classic Coffe</a>. Brukt og til en studentvennlig pris, selvsagt. Dønn solid, og du så god kaffe den (jeg?) lager. Nå sparer jeg til en skikkelig kvern slik at jeg kan lage de 800 koppene og bli flink. Allerede smaker det godt, og feilingen er vel så spennende men dog ikke så velsmakende. Kom gjerne innom for en kopp. Og les mer om prosjektet her. Etterhvert.</p>

<p>Bakgrunnen for denne bloggen, og interessen for <em>utkanten</em> kan spores tilbake til diplomprosjektet jeg gjorde på AHO 2007/2008, Destinasjon Landskap: Numedal. Prosjektet var et forsøk på å tenke nytt rundt utviklingen som skjer i de tradisjonelle landbruksdistriktene, med den pågående satsningen på turisme som platform for en mer helhetlig gjentenkning av hva bygda er i dag og hvor den er på vei. Med Numedal som utgangspunkt inviterte boken områdets egne innbyggere og aktører til diskusjon rundt regionens fremtid. Blant de konkrete resultatene fra prosjektet  er <em>&#8220;</em><a title="omtale i Aftenposten Reise" href="http://www.aftenposten.no/reise/article3206383.ece" target="_blank">Verdens minste hotellkjede&#8221;</a><a title="omtale i Aftenposten Reise" href="http://www.aftenposten.no/reise/article3206383.ece" target="_blank"> </a>som ble testet ut som pilotprosjekt sommeren 2009. Prosjektet Destinasjon Landskap: Numedal kan i sin helhet kan ses <a title="Destinasjon Landskap:Numedal på issuu.com" href="http://issuu.com/christofferevju/docs/destinasjonlandskap_coevju_150dpi" target="_blank">her.</a></p>

<title><![CDATA[Usted de seguro ya lo habrá notado, somos muchos seres humanos en el planeta, y todavía siguen naciendo más y ya no nos morimos tantos, así que cada día poblaremos más el planeta.  El problema no es que seamos muchos, sino que todos tenemos muchas necesidades, de alimento, de vivienda, de salud, de educación, y de energía.   Todos necesitamos energía, para iluminar nuestra casa, para nuestra TV, para nuestra computadora, para nuestros automóviles, necesitamos en forma imprescindible mucha energía.   El problema no es que necesitemos mucha energía, pues hay de donde agarrarla, el problema es que siempre que producimos energía, nos hacemos daño.   La producción de la llamada energía alternativa, es muy costosa y muy ineficiente, o sea produce poco. La producción de energía, más eficiente, y hasta cierto punto poco costosa es la energía derivada del átomo, o la energía derivada de los combustibles fósiles.  La energía derivada del átomo, tiene muchos inconvenientes, y produce muchos residuos tóxicos, y a parte estimula el pensamiento negativo del humano para usarla con fines bélicos, y por eso de momento no es muy utilizada esta fuente de energía.  La fuente de energía mas utilizada por los humanos es la derivada de los combustibles fósiles, del petróleo o del carbono para ser mas exactos.  Pero es muy contaminante.   Es la causa del trastorno meteorológico conocido como calentamiento global, que esta elevando la temperatura media algo así como .05 grados centígrados por año, no es mucho pero en diez años ya serán  .5 grados, y entonces si ya estaremos a punto de cocinarnos.   Dos cosas podemos hacer para contrarrestar el calentamiento global, una de ellas es bajar la emisión de Bióxido de carbono a la atmósfera, y otra el aumento en la fijación del citado gas, por medio principalmente de fotosíntesis, vía la forestación,   Para bajar la emisión del nocivo gas, solo tenemos una vía  el ahorro de energía.   Así gastamos menos energía, y con ello hacemos menos uso de los combustibles fósiles, y con ello menos emisión de Bióxido de carbono a la atmósfera.  ]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>El problema se centra en como ahorrar energía, la energía eléctrica es muy poco probable que se pueda ahorrar, pero la energía de nuestros automotores si se puede ahorrar.</p>
<p>Del total de gasolina que se quema en un automóvil, la mayor parte se tira ya sea como hidrocarburo no completamente oxidado, o consumido, produciendo a parte del Bióxido de Carbono, dos contaminantes sumamente peligrosos para la salud, los hidrocarburos no quemados, y los parcialmente oxidados, o no quemados, o sin combustión, o también se tiran como calor, o como ruido, los motores son muy ineficientes.</p>
<p>Y necesitamos hacerlos mas eficientes, una forma de disminuir la emisión de hidrocarburos no completamente quemados, y oxidados, es el convertidor catalítico, que su función es terminar de quemar los hidrocarburos, pero salvo esto, no hay ninguna mejora en la eficiencia del motor, sigue usando la misma cantidad de gasolina, y también sigue emitiendo la misma cantidad de Bióxido de Carbono a la atmósfera.</p>
<p>Lo que tenemos que hacer es perfeccionar el sistema para que el automóvil gaste menos gasolina, y así bajamos la emisión de Bióxido de carbono,  tenga o no tenga convertidor catalítico, hay muchos sistemas para hacer que se consuma menos gasolina, con el mismo trabajo del motor, o sea sin cambiar su ruta, su esfuerzo, su forma de manejo, el vehiculo gaste menos gasolina.</p>
<p>Hay muchos sistemas para ahorrar la gasolina, pero en el que nos hemos avocado es en el sistema de dispositivos magnéticos para el ahorro de gasolina.</p>
<p>Probablemente usted no ha oído hablar de esto, o bien ha oído pero no esta bien enterado de esto, o bien ya hasta compro un dispositivo, y no le dio o si le dio los resultados esperados, es por ello que voy a dar una somera explicación de los mismos.</p>
<p>Realmente no tiene el gran chiste, o la gran ciencia, son dos imanes de ferrita, envueltos de una cubierta plástica de polietileno, los cuales se colocan a su vez envolviendo al conducto por el que pasa la gasolina de la bomba de gasolina al carburador o al peine de inyectores, con esto crean un campo magnético que permite una mejor combustión y con ello un ahorro de hasta el 30% del combustible.</p>
<p>Esto ya tiene tiempo que están en el mercado, y han sido catalogados por muchos, incluyendo a la revista “mecánica popular”, como un fraude.</p>
<p>Sin embargo, la gente los sigue promocionando, y los consumidores los siguen comprando, y es que resulta que a algunos les ha dado excelentes resultados, mientras que a otros les ha resultado un fraude, al 40% les va bien, mientras que al 60% les ha resultado un fraude.</p>
<p>Por que sucede esto, por que a unos les fue tan bien, y a otros tan mal, algo hay que hace que a algunos les valla tan bien, y a otros tan mal.</p>
<p>Efectué una investigación que me llevo, mas de un año, en el cual utilicé diferentes variantes en condiciones exactamente iguales, y todo con tres repeticiones, y encontré cuales son las causas que a unos les valla tan bien y a otros tan mal.</p>
<p>A la mejor tu estas pensando en ahorrar gasolina, y no sabes como, y te interesa comprar un dispositivo ahorrador de gasolina, y quisieras saber mas al respecto cuando menos para comprar lo mejor.</p>
<p>O a la mejor tu ya compraste un dispositivo ahorrador de gasolina, y estas pensando que de timaron, por que no te ha dado ningún resultado, cuando menos quisieras saber el por que.</p>
<p>O a la mejor eres un ambientalista que quisiera saber como esta esto de los ahorradores magnéticos de gasolina.</p>
<p>Yo te podría vender un folleto en línea, en el que te podrías enterar de los resultados de mis investigaciones, no te vendo los resultados pues esos ya están patentados.</p>
<p>Si te interesa puedes contactarme <a href="mailto:rocoflores1@yahoo.com.mx">rocoflores1@yahoo.com.mx</a>  el precio del folleto es de $400.00 ahí nos podemos poner de acuerdo en la transacción.</p>

<p>Dirá usted que por que lo vendo, es que me salio carísimo la investigación, la efectué personalmente, no me apoyo el gobierno, y tengo que seguir investigando hasta llegar al auto hibrido, espero su comprensión, se aceptan donativos.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>De Yayè, Ahossu Soha desceu com sua comitiva ao sul e passou a se estabelecer em Ouo Ainon (o dono da terra). Isto permitiu-lhe estabelecer-se na aldeia de Houawé, não muito longe do atual Bohicon e ao lado da atual Kana.  Em Houawé Ahossu-Soha lutou contra o povo Nagô dos arredores durante seus ataques noturnos, que muitas vezes atravessava a noite com muito barulho, então recebeu o nome de “Gba Guidi-Guidi” (o que caça com altos ruídos), resultando mais tarde em “Gbaguidi” (o nome Gbaguidi foi conservado pela comunidade de Savalou e pertence aos sucessores do trono real).  Um filho do Rei de Allada, Aho, voltou para o norte depois de sua reconciliação com seus irmãos em Huegbo. Ele chegou à Ouo Ainon com Ahossu-Soha que o persuadiu, a se instalar em Gbennon (local do atual Bohicon). Tudo ia bem entre os três chefes quando por causa de uma aposta de caça Aho assassina Ouo. Então, com nojo do gesto ingrato Ahossu-Soha diz: Gbaguidi Primeiro!  Rumando mais ao norte, criou a vila Honhoungo cerca de doze quilômetros a oeste da atual Savalou, às margens do Rio Azokan, é onde Ahossu-Soha decidiu tomar uma aldeia nagô, Tchebelou, que ficava ao alto situada nos morros. Feiticeiros disseram que para isso era necessário o uso de “astúcia e de encanto”.

Jeg har møtt veldig mye ålreite folk, har vært på tidenes studietur til Odda, har blitt kjent med skolen, og nå nærmest gnålkuker det i fingerne etter å dele litt fra hverdagen og hvor heldige vi på aho er.  Derfor er jeg pent nødt til å skrive noen ord og dele bilder og tanker og opplevelser fra studietiden, med de som måtte finne på å bry seg.   Nå i begynnelsen hadde jeg tenkt å skrive litt om og scanne inn litt skisser og oppgavebesvarelser fra opptaksprøvene &#8211; både hjemme- og skoleoppgavene, noe det sikkert er mange fremtidige studenter (og rejects) som vil sette pris på.   Sånn jevnt over så kommer det nok til å bli relativt lite tekst fremover, men derimot mye bilde- og (kanskje noe) videomateriale&#8230; Håper det faller i smak ! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Imagine uma pessoa não-acostumada a cozinhar e que resolve se aventurar num espaguete ao alho e óleo. A receita diz que ele deve providenciar 500 gr de macarrão, 100 ml de azeite extra-virgem, 5 tiras de aliche, 5 folhas de manjericão, 4 dentes de alho, sal e pimenta a gosto.</p>
<p>E se na hora das compras, também desacostumado com essa etapa, ele se deparasse com o produto abaixo. Como ficaria esse espaguete?!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1157" title="EG1" src="http://chitchatbabel.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/eg1.jpg" alt="EG1" width="468" height="468" />Hoje, no meu tradicional roteiro de compras das quintas-feiras (pelo CEASA), estava escolhendo a caixa com alhos mais graúdos quando me deparei com o monstruoso <em>Elephant Garlic</em>. Produzido nos USA, é tido como ótimo para assar, de sabor mais suave e adocicado, além de mais fácil de descascar.</p>
<div id="attachment_1158" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1158" title="EG2" src="http://chitchatbabel.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/eg2.jpg" alt="EG2" width="468" height="286" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Elephant Garlic ao lado de um alho comum graúdo (de 55~60 mm)</p></div>
<p>O <em>Elephant</em>, na verdade, não é exatamente um alho, sendo mais um primo da cebola e do alho-poró. Se o parentesco é com o poró, esteticamente e no sabor ele lembra mais o alho comum, apesar de aromaticamente distinto e mais suave.</p>
<p>Agora&#8230; imagine&#8230; o alho do couvert do Babel, feito com esse monstrinho?!</p>
<p>Ah, sim! Quase esqueço: naquele box do CEASA o<em> Elephant Garlic</em> custa R$12 a cabeça.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p align="justify">
From a longer time I used to think that Big O notation  <b>O(n) </b>,  isn&#8217;t really much practical. I was reading section 1.4 of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Data-Structures-Algorithms-Alfred-Aho/dp/0201000237">Data Structures and Algorithms </a>by <em>Aho</em>, <em>Hocraft</em> and <em>Ullman</em> and  was unable to understand how big O notation was being discussed. I asked for help on <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/comp.programming/browse_thread/thread/d1c2c8211ce6f860#">comp.programming </a> and saw not many people agree with me. I hope this discussion will help you broaden your programming skills</p>
<p>Here is the relevant discussion. It is not the full discussion, it is filtered.  I have posted here only those replies the ones I trust. Any posts, that I don&#8217;t trust or I have no idea about whether to trust them or not, are not included:
</p>
<p align="justify">
<strong> Original Question by me:</strong></p>
<p><em>This is from &#8220;Data Structures and Algorithms&#8221; by Aho, Hopcraft and<br />
Ullman, Page 31, Example 1.4</p>
<p>Suppose T(0) = 1 and T(1) = 4, and in general T(n) = (n+1)^2 . Then we<br />
see that T(n) is O(n^2) .</p>
<p>I did not get the last line. If T(n) = (n+1)^2 , how it can be deduced<br />
that it is T(n) = O(n^2). n^2 is never equal to (n+1)^2</p>
<p>if this discussion of the authors is only theoretical. I mean if can<br />

<p><em>That&#8217;s the very point of the O(.) equivalence classes!</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you&#8217;re considering n or n+1, the question is<br />
that you&#8217;re on the same curve, the square curve, and that sooner or<br />
later you will go beyond resources.</p>
<p>Well, on a square curve you will go beyond resources much sooner than<br />
on a linear curve.  And on an exponential curve, you&#8217;ll go beyond<br />
resources much much much sooner.</p>
<p>Read again http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation</p>
<p>     T(n) = O(n²) as n-&#62;∞<br />
  ∃M∈ℝ, ∃n₀∈ℝ, ∀n, n&#62;n₀ =&#62;  &#124;T(n)&#124; ≤ M&#124;n²&#124;</p>
<p>Now, T(n) = (n+1)² = n²+2n+1  ≤  n²+2n²+1n² = 4n², so you can take M=4, and</p>
<p>           ∃n₀∈ℝ, ∀n, n&#62;n₀ =&#62;  &#124;T(n)&#124; ≤ 4&#124;n²&#124;<br />

<em><br />
Yes, it is of use at a practical level.  Being able to do complexity<br />
analysis on your algorithms, will let you know whether your program<br />
will have enough time and enough memory to process the user data.</p>
<p>It can always work on the two or three data items you use in your<br />
tests.  But what will happen when the users will feed it a thousands,<br />
a million or a billion data items to process?   Will it still be as<br />
fast and and thrifty, or will it need 500 ExaBytes of RAM and 15<br />
billion years of processing time?</em></p>

<p>&#62; This is from &#8220;Data Structures and Algorithms&#8221; by Aho, Hopcraft and<br />
&#62; Ullman, Page 31, Example 1.4</p>
<p>&#62; Suppose T(0) = 1 and T(1) = 4, and in general T(n) = (n+1)^2 . Then<br />
&#62; we see that T(n) is O(n^2) .</p>
<p>I assume you mean that T() is a function &#8211; something like:<br />
<em><br />
fun T(integer n)<br />
  integer d = n + 1<br />
  yield d * d<br />
nuf</em></p>
<p>&#62; I did not get the last line. If T(n) = (n+1)^2 , how it can be<br />
&#62; deduced that it is T(n) = O(n^2). n^2 is never equal to (n+1)^2<br />
<em><br />
Big-O is a rough-and-ready measure of worst-case workload in relation<br />
to the amount of data that must be processed.</p>
<p>Multiply 123 by itself *by hand*, showing all your working and taking<br />
no shortcuts, and count how many separate multiplications you have to<br />
do. Now repeat the process for a four-digit number, eg 9287. Then do<br />
it for a five-digit number, and so on up to ten digits or so. Plot<br />
your results in a graph, and observe the shape of that graph.</p>
<p>For 123, for example (and remember we are not taking any shortcuts),<br />
we need to multiply 3 * 3, 3 * 2, 3 * 1, 2 * 3, 2 * 2, 2 * 1, 1 * 3,<br />
1 * 2, and 1 * 1. We also need some shifts and adds, but never mind<br />
those. Nine multiplications for a datum three digits wide. For four<br />
digits, we have to do sixteen multiplications. And so on.</p>

I&#8217;m going to go with &#8220;you really should understand this&#8221;.</p>
<p>I was on a project (I was doing the front-end, another guy was doing the<br />
back end), and things were working swimmingly&#8211;until we opened the site<br />
for beta.  As soon as we got about 2000 registered users, the DB died<br />
under the load.  Now, mind you, this wasn&#8217;t 2000 simultaneous<br />
users&#8211;this was just 2000 users registered.</p>
<p>I never found out exactly what was happening in the back-end code, but I<br />
suspect there was some kind of O(N^2) process (or worse) running back<br />
there.  It was fixed, and the site went on to get 100K or so users<br />
during its short lifespan (it was a site to market another product.)</p>
<p>But you have my sympathies, because there&#8217;s so much completely accurate instruction on this topic that is utterly impenetrable to most<br />
newcomers.  (In their defense, it is a difficult concept to present<br />
well.)  Here are a few links that seem popular and not too bad (I only<br />
skimmed them):</em></p>

<p>Finally I&#8217;ve handed in my essay. I wish we had been working more actively with this along our design studio over the semester as much of what I find in my essay could have come to good use this year. I&#8217;ll take it along for next semester however and hope I get to write more over the years. I think this is the first essay I write where I feel that I&#8217;m getting a lot back from the writing process myself.</p>

<p>We split the stay into two by living in Lambeth for 2 nights and Kings Cross 3 nights. We switched between moving around by foot and by tube every other day to get a combination of rest for the legs and fresh air. This little alleyway here is right around the corner from the <a href="http://www.barbican.org.uk/" target="_blank">Barbican Cantre</a> where they had a great exhibition of Le Corbusier&#8217;s work as well as a cool experimantal rapid prototyping exhibition in the Curve.

<p>On Easter Sunday we went tomorning mass in St. Paul&#8217;s Cathedral. The accoustics were amazing while the choir sang, but the sound technician who put up the speakers for the preacher didn&#8217;t do his sound test before he left I think. It was a really nice experience to see such a great religious building in use and not just full of people being told to turn off their cameras.</p>

<p>This week I&#8217;m wrapping up my essay on the use of diagrams in contemporary architecture and the main focus has been on UN Studio and the Design Model. It is very interesting to think of what a design process means and how knowledge is carried on and expanded upon in each project.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On Sunday I&#8217;m off to Paris to combine business and pleasure as I go on a school trip and meet up with Sabrina half way through the week to get some time with her as I&#8217;m down there anyways.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This week we had interim presentations of concepts and sketch productions to get critique  on our approaches and methods.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-47" title="teachers" src="http://anderssletbak.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/teachers.jpg" alt="teachers" width="720" height="360" /></p>
<p>Several teachers gave feedback as well as the students</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-43" title="presentation" src="http://anderssletbak.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/presentation.jpg" alt="presentation" width="720" height="278" /></p>
<p>The teachers were represented by both architects and engineers even if most of the work might not be on a structural level yet. The engineers found some concepts to engage in too at least.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-41" title="bjorn" src="http://anderssletbak.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/bjorn.jpg" alt="bjorn" width="720" height="467" /></p>
<p>A lot of cool concepts were shown and the variety of approaches was really interesting to see. Everybody were searching for their own way into the project and many different sources of inspiration were shown.</p>
<div>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44" title="presentation02" src="http://anderssletbak.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/presentation02.jpg" alt="presentation02" width="510" height="800" /></div>
<p>I ended up building my studies of the situation on the documents found at <a href="http://www.nordhavnen.dk/"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">nordhavnen.dk</span></a> and the information I had available about the Excentral Park project. As Marius Nygaard asks us to bring focus to sustainability this semester I looked into some books on the subject and found more source material on what is already known and working concepts in that field.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Future-Forms-Design-Sustainable-Cities/dp/075066309X">Future Forms and Design for Sustainable Cities</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Green-Skyscraper-Designing-Sustainable-Intensive/dp/3791319930">The Green Skyscraper</a> gave me some good ideas to build my design features around. On the side I work with how I should tackle the program requirements to create a design that responds well to the concepts of social sustainability as well.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-45" title="process01" src="http://anderssletbak.wordpress.com/files/2009/04/process01.jpg" alt="process01" width="540" height="720" /></p>

<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:'courier new';"> </span></div>
<p>On Thursday Dahl &#38; Uhre Arkritekter came in and gave us a lecture about their work with <a href="http://www.mosaic-region.com/"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">Mosaïc Region</span></a> and Excentral Park &#8211; Edge Dynamics. They contributed a lot of material that gives superb input for anyone no matter how they&#8217;ve decided to take on the project I think and they also let us in on many of their own principals from the design process.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Kun luin Elisabet Ahon epookkiromaanin <a><em>Lilly</em></a>, jäi mieleen kiinnostus lukea Ahon muita Urajärven kartanosta kertovia kirjoja. <em>Valkea kuin uni</em> (2000) kertoo tarinan Lillyn isän kahdesta avioliitosta ja sijoittuu siis 1800-luvulle. Näiden romaanien lisäksi Aho on <a>Otavan sivujen</a> mukaan kirjoittanut myös kolmannen Urajärveä sivuavan romaanin.</p>
<p><em>Valkea kuin uni </em>on kuvaus perheestä. Näkökulma on yleensä kartanon palvelijan Hildan tai uuden talousmamsellin Johannan, josta tulee Axel von Heidemannin toinen vaimo. Välillä kertojana toimii myös mielisairas ensimmäinen vaimo, Sofia. 1800-luvun suomalaiseen yhteiskuntaan ei viitata, eikä von Heidemanin perheen historiaa liitetä kollektiiviseen historiaan. Tämä ratkaisu riittää hyvin, sillä draamaa riittää Urajärvelläkin. Elisabet Ahon näkökulma on mitä suurimmassa määrin ihmisten elämän tasolla, eikä sen lisäksi välttämättä tarvita muuta. Periaatteessa ajattelen näin, mutta kun vertaan tätä romaania <em>Lillyyn</em>, huomaan jääneeni kaipaamaan kuitenkin jotain.</p>
<p>Urajärvi-kirjoista <em>Lilly </em>oli parempi. Ehkä Aho oli siinä kehittynyt paremmaksi kirjailijaksi tai jotain, mutta <em>Valkea kuin uni</em> ei jättänyt yhtä sympaattista vaikutelmaa kuin jatko-osansa. <em>Lilly </em>oli yhtä mikronarratiivinen kuin edeltäjänsä, mutta siinä Lilly von Heidemannin ja hänen veljensä elämä kuitenkin sijoitettiin omaan yhteiskunnalliseen taustaansa. Lilly von Heideman oli aikansa naisasianainen ja opettajatar, ja koska olen näitä asioita lukenut, ne tuntuivat tutuilta. Pystyin yhdistämään Lillyn elämän asioita ennen tuntemaani. <em>Valkea kuin uni</em> sen sijaan sijoittui kyllä Suomen historiaan ilman mitään kiinnekohtia siihen, ja siksi ehkä jäi etäisemmäksi. En tunne mielisairaanhoidon historiaa tarpeeksi osatakseni arvioida kuvausta Lapinlahden sairaalasta, vaikka siinä kieltämättä olisi ollut hyvä koukku tartuttavaksi. Sofia tuntui vieraalta, enkä missään vaiheessa kyennyt samaistumaan häneen. Paremmin ehkä Johanna Beckeriin, mutta hän oli mukana vain romaanin loppuosan.</p>
<p>Viime aikoina minulla on ollut taas lukemisen suhteen tahmeampia päiviä. <em>Valkea kuin uni</em> oli sopivan kevyttä luettavaa tällaisiin aikohin &#8211; mitään raskaampaa en olisi varmasti jaksanut avata iltaisin. Toisessa tilanteessa sen olisi varmasti lukenut nopeasti, ohittanut kevyenä historiallisena viihderomaanina, jollainen se onkin. Nyt luin sitä hitaasti ja tankaten, mikä ei tehnyt romaanille oikeutta. <em>Valkea kuin uni </em>on viihdyttävä kuvaus erään kartanon historiasta, omassa kategoriassaan ei ollenkaan hullumpi, ja siksi voisin jonain päivänä lukea vielä sen kolmannenkin Urajärvelle sijoittuvan kirjan.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Yesterday and today we had presentations of thoughts around the program of our buildings in Nordhavn]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Yesterday and today we had presentations of thoughts around the program of our buildings in Nordhavnen. Everyone contributed with their thoughts on a given part of the basic program requirements or themes like sustainability, both in ecological and social sense. The class will collect our joint effort into a compendium that we all can share and work off our collective diagrams and written material.</p>
<p> </p>
<div>
<p>I&#8217;m working myself with establishing my understanding of the site in its greater context to make sure I can make a contribution that takes on a conscious role in several scales. I&#8217;ve sorted some of the material made available at <a href="http://www.nordhavnen.dk/"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">nordhavnen.dk</span></a> for the competition and tried to find some points that are relevant to me on a single building level. The material presented in Excentral Park (EXP) reflects on a lot of the material already and I believe it is important to try to further strengthen some of those points. I will also keep in mind that the project will stay on a theoretical level. This will let me make some ideological points, being aware that their existence is made possible through the theoretical means of the assignment given.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A group of students also participated in a workshop with Marius Nygaard over the weekend. It was a brainstorm for round 2 of the competition in Nordhavnen. Bakgård <a href="http://bakgard.blogspot.com/2009/02/extracurricular-activities.html"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">has</span></a> <a href="http://bakgard.blogspot.com/2009/02/group-work.html"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">several</span></a> photos from the work and also got linked from <a href="http://70n.blogspot.com/2009/02/nordhavnen-backyard.html"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">70N</span></a>&#8217;s blog. <a href="http://dahluhre.blogspot.com/2009/01/edge-dynamics-i-weekendavisen.html"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">Dahl&#38;Uhre</span></a> are also actively blogging about the projects progress.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve decided to write on the topic of the diagram as a tool in contemporary architecture for my essay this semester and have started to read source material and taking notes for that. Other than that we have weekly tutorials in groups discussing the history of architectureal theory. The discussions usually turn out to be a really nice arena for critique and discussion of how we see our future roles as architects.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This post still got quite long and full, so I&#8217;ll promise to hold off posting until I have some graphics to share.</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Beh insomma, anche se eravamo 4 gatti drogati e rompicoglioni ieri c&#8217;eravamo, da tutta Italia, in tanti anche.. Le ore di treno di ieri, più o meno 17, sono valse tutte la pena di esser passate proprio li.</p>
<p><a title="ansa roma" href="http://www.ansa.it/opencms/export/site/visualizza_fdg.html_879626422.html" target="_blank">Qui</a> magari, visto che non se ne è parlato molto in tv potete trovare qualche notizia imparziale (è dall&#8217;ansa)..</p>
<p><!--more--><br />
Un un bel venerdì 13, alla faccia della superstizione,  di chi lecca il culo, di chi si accontenta e subisce, di chi non si accorge di cosa sta succedendo e accetta silenzioso, in buona fede. Forse è ora di svegliarsi e capire che è il caso di fare qualcosa, di dimostrare che non ci si sta, e forse è il caso di NON FARSI PRENDERE PER IL CULO, no?</p>
<p>Poi, lo sai già ma mi ha fatto un sacco di piacere passare del tempo con te, anche se poco, grazie mille,  sei stata gentilissima, ho passato una gran bella giornata e abbiam scoperto anche nuovi posti di Roma,  ghghgh <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Oggi è san valentino, quindi auguri a chi si chiama così e boh, nonostante tutti dicano sia solo una festa consumistica a me piace fare regali e l&#8217;idea di festeggiare l&#8217;amore, secondo me non è che sia poi così brutta. Il mondo è bello perchè è vario e ognuno ha le sue idee no?</p>
<p>Buona giornata!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In an attempt to get<a href="http://www.anderssletbak.com/"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"> </span></a><a href="http://www.anderssletbak.com/"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">AndersSletbak.com</span></a> up and going I&#8217;ve decided to make this temporary (for now at least) blog. The aim of the site will in time be to document my own work, both individual and in co-operation with others in a portfolio as well as a blog/news part. At the moment I don&#8217;t have time to set up a full site and get into how all of that will work so I figured that it will be easier to keep the blog active for now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m a norwegian architecture-student at <a href="http://aho.no/"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">AHO</span></a> in Norway after starting my education at <a href="http://www.dab.uts.edu.au/architecture/index.html"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">UTS</span></a> in Australia in 2007. Both sites include a little online gallery where some student work is available. The AHO Arena is currently updating with work from the last weeks Diploma project Exhibition.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope I&#8217;ll update the blog with content from my production as well as links to curiosities i come across. At the moment my class is doing our preliminary research for the semesters design assignment based on <a href="http://70n.no/"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">70°N arkitektur</span></a>&#8217;s 1st Prize proposal for <a href="http://www.nordhavnen.dk/nh2-english.htm"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">Nordhavnen</span></a> development in Copenhagen, Denmark. I&#8217;ll try to update on the status of that as the assignment progresses.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for now, hope it&#8217;s gonna be many shorter, single-theme updates instead of this length from now on.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hilde Haslum´s PhD dissertation <em>Reading Socio-Spatial Interplay</em> has raised today at AHO crucial questions on potentials and risks of conducting a research by design. Haslum has presented her work as a “search for a way of combining architectural and social analysis in order to investigate socio-architectural interplay in current processes of urban transformation”. Field analysis, photo-documentation, crossing of empirical data, interviews: this operative choice invests empirical material of critical importance. As precisely noted by the opponent Kirsten Simonsen from University of Roskilde, empirical material can never be an objective reality, it is indeed always a representation of a selected way to look at the world. In this sense it can never be neutral, nor it can be innocent. Interviews are always the result of a dialogical process between the interviewer and the interviewed, the former contributing to the final statements as much &#8211; if not more -  as the latter, being able to direct the discourse in a purposeful direction. Photography, again, is a medium in which technical choices are crucial to the significance of the final image, often  beyond the shooted subject. Then one can ask how much representative such material is, especially in a research environment. In which way empirical contributions can negotiate a stance, in order to be proved documentations in a research? In Hilde Haslum´s work there is also a question of scale. The relationship between an assertive generality, necessary in a research investigation for its outcome in the discipline, and the reality this investigation is grounded in, is also critical. “Microanalysis” has been here the chosen operative mediator. This question is crucial in my research also. When I talk about &#8220;perceptions&#8221; the immediate question is “who´s&#8221; perceptions? Which degree of generality one has to accomplish for a research to be such and have a relevance within the disciplinary field(s)? There in also an issue of comparability hidden within the lines. How opportunistic can we be in the choice of core concepts while building an argument in a comparative dialectical process? ”Micro” is a very specific approach that I believe has a great potential, for its manifesto-like declaration of its intrinsic limits. Yet one must be very conscious about the extension of one´s arguments &#8211; in space, as well as in the conceptual landscape the research is situated. Scale has a role in determining the degree of affirmative will behind a gesture, a piece of poetry has not the same rhetoric as an ephic poem. But, on the opposide side, if the micro remains such without claiming to become a general principle, can it still be called research? Perhaps yes. Research in this sense will not be a definitive answer, but  the creation &#8211; or ampliation &#8211; of questions within a world. Addressing very small issues in order to inform by fragments an ever changing pattern of disciplinary knowledge.</p>
