Digital Transformation of the Design, Construction and Management Processes of the Built Environment
This open access book focuses on the development of methods, interoperable and integrated ICT tools, and survey techniques for optimal management of the building process. The construction sector is facing an increasing demand for major innovations in terms of digital dematerialization and technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, advanced manufacturing, robotics, 3D printing, blockchain technologies and artificial intelligence. The demand for simplification and transparency in information management and for the rationalization and optimization of very fragmented and splintered processes is a key driver for digitization. The book describes the contribution of the ABC Department of the Polytechnic University of Milan (Politecnico di Milano) to R&D activities regarding methods and ICT tools for the interoperable management of the different phases of the building process, including design, construction, and management. Informative case studies complement the theoretical discussion. The book will be of interest to all stakeholders in the building process – owners, designers, constructors, and faculty managers – as well as the research sector.$0.00$43.95 -
Artistry in Bronze: the Greeks and Their Legacy Xixth International Congress on Ancient Bronzes
The papers in this volume derive from the proceedings of the nineteenth International Bronze Congress, held at the Getty Center and Villa in October 2015 in connection with the exhibition Power and Pathos: Bronze Sculpture of the Hellenistic World. The study of large-scale ancient bronzes has long focused on aspects of technology and production. Analytical work of materials, processes, and techniques has significantly enriched our understanding of the medium. Most recently, the restoration history of bronzes has established itself as a distinct area of investigation. How does this scholarship bear on the understanding of bronzes within the wider history of ancient art? How do these technical data relate to our ideas of styles and development? How has the material itself affected ancient and modern perceptions of form, value, and status of works of art? www.getty.edu/publications/artistryinbronze$0.00$99.00 -
A-z Guide How to Make Bath Bombs: the Easy Guide on Masterfully Creating Beautiful Bath Bombs
Make Your Own Bath Bombs Right at Home Make Your Own Bath Bombs Right at Home You get home from a long day of work. Your shoulders are achy; your back is sore, you have tension, stress, dry skin in places, oily skin in others, sinus pain, fatigue, and nausea. There are only two cures for you. Either you have a demon inside, and you need to call an exorcist, or you need to have a nice long soak in the tub. You decide on the second option. You draw a bath and begin to relax as the water begins to steam. You start to undress to get in when you look around for the missing ingredient. A bath bomb. Then you realize that you are out of bath bombs. You try and phone your partner, but they are not answering. You need a bath bomb! You get dressed again and leave the house. You drive to Lush and buy some bath bombs. You are a little annoyed at the price, and your shoulders begin to tense again, but you know that you need to pay a little extra if you want a quality bath product. You get home and are beginning to feel a little relieved. You smile at the thought of a long and luxurious bath. You get to the bathroom, and it is locked. You knock. Your partner is in there, taking advantage of the bath you had drawn for yourself. You wait, but they take forever. When they are done, most of the hot water is gone. You try to run another bath and drop the bath bomb into it. It fizzes half-heartedly and drops to the bottom. You get into your tepid bath and wash yourself. You go to bed that night and have two thoughts stock in your head. Your first thought is that this was "the worst day ever". Your second thought is "if only there was a better way, a way to get luxurious bath bombs at a fraction of the price, have them on hand when I want them, exactly suited to my needs, and ready to drop into my bath, solve my problems, and the problems of the world". You drift off to sleep without hope. HEY! Wake up! Do not go to sleep just yet, for I have the answer. There is a better way, and this book is going to show you what you never thought possible. Come with me to the land of dreams; where bath bombs are at your fingertips. With a few simple ingredients, most of which you will have in your home already, some tools, which may be in your kitchen, and a little effort (I have absolutely no doubt in your level of effort), you can create your own bath bombs. Don"t believe me? Well, boy are you about to be wrong.$0.00$12.99 -
