Architecture is on the brink. It is a discipline in crisis. Overthe last two decades, architectural debate has diversified to thepoint of fragmentation and exhaustion. What is called for isan overarching argument or set of criteria on which to approach thedesign and construction of the built environment. Here, theinternationally renowned architect and educator Michael Henseladvocates an entirely different way of thinking about architecture.By favouring a new focus on performance, he rejects longstandingconventions in design and the built environment. This not onlybridges the gap between academia and practice, but, even moresignificantly, the treatment of form and function in design. Italso has a far-reaching impact on knowledge production anddevelopment, placing an important emphasis on design research inarchitecture and the value of an interdisciplinary approach. Though ‘performance’ first evolved as a concept inthe humanities in the 1940s and 1950s, it has never previously beensystematically applied in architecture in an inclusive manner. HereMichael Hensel offers Performance-Orientated Architecture as anintegrative approach to architectural design, the built environmentand questions of sustainability. He highlights how core conceptsand specific traits, such as climate, material performance andsettlement patterns, can put architecture in the service of thenatural environment. A wide range of examples are cited to supporthis argument, from traditional sustainable buildings, such as theKahju Bridge in Isfahan and the Topkapí Palace in Istanbul tomore contemporary works by Cloud 9, Foreign Office Architects,Steven Holl and OCEAN.

The interaction of humankind with the natural world begets their mutual becoming: transformation arises from the agency that imbues and entwines them. As the impact of human intervention upsurges and accelerates the transformation of the natural environment the question arises whether their perceived diametrical opposition continues to be useful in locating an integrated and complex approach to architectural design and sustainability. Could an intensively context-embedded architecture be in the service of the natural environment by interlinking its inherent and latent agency with that of the natural environment? And if thus a performance- oriented architecture is possible how may it be thought of? This thesis focuses on formulation an integrated and overarching theoretical framework for a performance- oriented architecture. It explores the concepts of non-discrete and non- anthropocentric architecture that opens itself out to the natural environment and seeks to locate in the consequentially evolving extended threshold a heterogeneous space that offers varied and sustainable provisions for human use and local ecosystems. Four main efforts underlie this endeavour: 1. Critical examination of relevant architectural theories, practices and works, paralleled, wherever useful, by a historical account of the developments that led up to these theories and practices. This effort is geared towards formulating core concepts and traits of a performance-oriented architecture. 2. Research by design efforts that inform the development of the traits of performance-oriented architecture. 3. The development of an overarching inclusive and integrated theoretical framework for performance-oriented architecture. 4. Discussing ways in which architecture can serve as an extended interface between the man-made and natural environments.

Today architecture and other fields in the built environment face the steep task of answering complex questions pertaining to sustainability, performance, and adaptability. How are these disciplines to accomplish these difficult tasks at such an immense pace? How might architectural practice renovate itself accordingly? Worldwide it is becoming increasingly clear that different modes of research are emerging which are triggered directly by the need to renovate practice. One significant prevailing mode is what has come to be known as ‘research by design’. This book delivers an overview of this pluralistic domain. Bringing together a range of leading architects, architectural theorists, and designers, it outlines the developments in current practice from leading individuals based in the USA, UK, Australia, Japan and Europe. Edited by a recognized expert, this book exposes the undercurrent of research, which is taking place and how this will contribute to the renovation of architectural practice.

Software services are established as a programming concept, but their impact on the overall architecture of enterprise IT and business operations is not well-understood. This has led to problems in deploying SOA, and some disillusionment. The SOA Source Book adds to this a collection of reference material for SOA. It is an invaluable resource for enterprise architects working with SOA.The SOA Source Book will help enterprise architects to use SOA effectively. It explains: What SOA is How to evaluate SOA features in business terms How to model SOA How to use The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF™) for SOA SOA governance This book explains how TOGAF can help to make an Enterprise Architecture. Enterprise Architecture is an approach that can help management to understand this growing complexity.

"Despite spending more than $600 billion on information technology over the past decade, the Federal Government has achieved little of the productivity improvements that private industry has realized from IT" according to the 25 Point Implementation Plan to Reform Federal Information Technology Management published by the White House in late 2010. "Too often, Federal IT projects run over budget, behind schedule, or fail to deliver promised functionality." This book argues that the Federal Government needs a new approach. Introducing a novel five-step process called performance-driven management (PDM), author Ira Sachs explains in detail how to reduce risk on large IT programs and projects. This book walks through the five steps of the PDM process: conducting a high-level strategic review of what an organization does, who it serves, what it wants to do, and how it is going to do it; instituting performance measures to gauge success for the organization; completing comprehensive business cases for projects and using them to mitigate risk and manage projects throughout the project life cycle; performing benefits realization on completed projects; and establishing these best practices to achieve successful results in the future. This is an essential tool for all IT and business managers in government and contractors doing business with the government, and it has much useful and actionable information for anyone who is interested in helping their business save money and take on effective, successful practices.

This is a How-to-Book. Bottom line: the Curriculum Architecture Design process identifies all of the T&D - Training & Development (a.k.a.: L&D - Learning & Development) that "could be" and then prioritizes efforts to build/acquire all of the priority gap T&D that "should be." Post-CAD resourcing by the Customers and Stakeholders insures what T&D actually "will be." This is a proven set of ISD methods have been employed on hundreds of projects by the authors and those he has trained since 1982.
