Synopsis: An organization typically has a fixed number of internal resources with known skills and capacities, and upcoming projects have certain skill and effort requirements to accomplish their objectives. Managers often struggle with the task of forecasting the future demands on their resources and deciding how to fill the gaps between demand and supply, whether that means reskilling existing employees, hiring new employees, or temporarily hiring outside specialists to fill those gaps.

Learn how to use Microsoft Project and Project Server 2010 to plan the future demand on the resources within an organization, clearly identify the gaps between demand and supply, and give managers the information they need to make better staffing decisions to meet future project demands.

Project Management Institute Selects EPM Architects to be its Microsoft Project and Project Server Training Provider

An architectural firm for a possible new jail facility was selected by the Gillespie County Commissioners’ Court following a week of special meetings.

County officials will now, with the help of Vanir Construction Management Inc., enter into contract negotiations with Wiginton Hooker Jeffry Architects, a Plano-based firm with branch offices in Dallas, Austin and Houston, and a local association with Stehling Klein Thomas Architects of Fredericksburg.

“Now we have to determine how far we want them to go in the process before the bond election (in November),” said Judge Mark Stroeher.

“We don’t want to spend a lot of money if it doesn’t pass the bond election, but, at the same time, we feel like we need to provide the public with enough information to see what we’d be dealing with going into the project,” Stroeher said.

Part of the contract negotiations will probably be to ask Wiginton Hooker Jeffry Architects to give the County of Gillespie prices for possibly proceeding in a couple of different ways, the judge added.

“The court will then take a look at those different proposals and see how much detail we’ll feel like we need and then we’ll decide how much money we’re going to spend on this project before a bond election and before we know if it’s going to pass,” Stroeher said.

No matter what, the architects will have to come up with the interior and room layouts, as well as the jail layouts and plumbing and related items.

“They’ll have to provide quite a bit of detail for us in order to get a good cost estimate, which we can then give to the public so they can be informed when it comes time for an election,” Stroeher said.

Commissioners okay architects for new jail design

PARALLEL WORDS: The City Gatekeeper's alternative development for the Swan River. Source: PerthNow

PERTH would have its own version of Melbourne's Federation Square on the Swan River under an alternative to the controversial waterfront project.

The plan would also see apartment towers built on a curved wharf along Riverside Drive, a floating stage for theatre productions and floating Olympic-sized swimming pools built in the Swan River.

The City Gatekeepers, a group of urban planners and architects fighting the Barnett Government's "flawed" project, today unveils what it says is a far better concept.

The lobby group, headed by Australian Institute of Urban Studies WA chairman Linley Lutton, sparked fresh debate with an 11th-hour bid for the development to be scrapped last month.

The group is at odds with the Government's plans to dig up the Esplanade to create an inlet and divert Riverside Drive, which it says will cause "traffic chaos".

Instead, Dr Lutton said the waterfront should be developed between Barrack St and the Narrows Bridge, with a focus on "returning civic value" to the city.

"It's a much better site because you can position the buildings to protect the site from wind, we're not touching Riverside Drive, you're getting sun through the whole development and it's right on the natural river, not built around an inlet," he said.

"The Government's project is a commercially driven project, where ours is a community and culturally driven project.

"We're providing civic value, like museums, art galleries and performing arts."

The group's proposal includes plans for a "Perth version" of Melbourne's Federation Square in front of the Esplanade and a new museum.

But Planning Minister John Day has rejected the group's last-minute redesign and said that after more than 20 years of debate work would go ahead in April.

Funding had been committed and the Government had opened expressions of interest for a waterfront hotel development.

"It is too late for a complete re-think of the Perth Waterfront project," Mr Day said.

"Dr Lutton's plan includes no development north of Riverside Drive, which means keeping the Esplanade and four lanes of traffic between the city and the river. This is actually increasing the barrier between the city and the river and would be worse than no development at all."

Details of the long-awaited $440 million waterfront were released last year, with plans to create an inlet on the Esplanade, linking the CBD to the river.

Committee for Perth chief executive Marion Fulkner said she supported debate, but the lobby group's plans had come too late and people were "totally fatigued by the whole discussion".

Dr Lutton said it was irresponsible of the Government to pursue a "second-rate" development.

He expects as many as 6000 people to back the plan when the City Gatekeepers hold a public rally on the Perth foreshore next Sunday.

The group has also gathered thousands of signatures on a petition, which will be presented to parliament on March 6.

 

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING

- A 10ha development with a 2.8ha inlet

- A "water square" with access for private boats and public ferries

- A hotel

- Apartments and short-stay accommodation

- Commercial space

- A jetty with boat moorings

- A Stage

- A landscaped island in the centre of the inlet

- A bridge providing access for pedestrians and cyclists to the island

- Cafes, bars and restaurants

 

WHAT THE CITY GATEKEEPERS WANT

- Keep the Esplanade and Riverside Drive intact

- A "land bridge" over Riverside Drive connecting the Esplanade to the river.

- Floating public swimming pools

- Apartment buildings no higher than 10 storeys

- Apartments on a curved finger wharf in the river

- A hotel on the water's edge

- Floating public swimming pools

- A floating performing arts stage

- A museum, modern art gallery and Indigenous cultural centre

- Jetty and boat pens

- Cafes, bars and restaurants

Architects challenge foreshore plan

BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The 35-meter-long photovoltaic pavilion adds the finishing touch to the university campus of Potsdam University of Applied Sciences and is to be used as a space for social events, brainstorming ideas and presentations. The Odersun solar modules, which are just under 4 meter high and 1 meter wide, cover the whole building. Made from 25 mm-thick break-proof security glass, the PV modules act as façade elements and were specially developed and manufactured for this project.

The idea of integrating the green building concept into the redesign of the campus site was part of the project from the outset. Architects Ortner + Ortner Berlin developed this idea further in conjunction with students from the University of Applied Sciences and module manufacturer Odersun which specialises in solar architecture. The result is a symbiosis of sustainable architecture, functionality and efficiency – in short, a solar façade that not only generates power, but is also aesthetically attractive.

“In addition to high design standards for the solar modules, the project primarily called for flexibility with regard to size, design and construction of the PV solution,” says Manfred Ortner of Ortner + Ortner, explaining the challenging nature of the project. “Not only does Odersun produce a huge variety of modules, but they also showed themselves to be adaptable over the course of the project during which the requirements were continually changing,” he adds.

Odersun not only manufactured the project-specific modules, it was also involved in a supportive capacity in the electrical concept and the construction planning. Odersun’s CISCuT thin-film technology gives the architects the same design freedom similar to glass while at the same time allowing to achieve sustainable building goals.

“We are delighted to have had the opportunity to implement such a unique project with such a reputable partner,” says Dr. Hein van der Zeeuw, CEO of Odersun AG. “It gave us the chance to show how much flexibility is possible in the field of solar construction, and also the unusual module sizes that can be produced, without any compromises in terms of design and functionality,” he explains.

Thin-film solar modules such as those produced by Odersun are particularly suitable for use in building-integrated photovoltaics (BiPV), because they offer very good yields even in shade and at high temperatures, and even if they are not optimally aligned to the sun. New opportunities for Green Buildings based on a patented technology “Made in Germany” which unites innovation, quality and design.

About Odersun

Odersun AG manufactures customized solar modules which are particularly suitable for use in building-integrated photovoltaics (BiPV). Odersun’s solar modules are tailor made to customers' requirements using a proprietary, worldwide patented CISCuT thin-film technology “Made in Germany”. With their aesthetically pleasing appearance and exceptional ease of integration, they are ideal for use as construction elements in a solar façade.

CHELSEA, Mass., Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning architecture, historic restoration, preservation and master-planning firm The Architectural Team has announced that managing principal, Robert J. Verrier, has been elected to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) prestigious College of Fellows.

The Fellowship program, one of the highest professional honors for American architects, was developed by the Washington, D.C.-based AIA to elevate those architects who have made a significant contribution to architecture and society and who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession.

"It's a tremendous honor to be recognized as an AIA Fellow, and one that reminds us that our mission goes beyond designing buildings," says Verrier, "It is a life-work commitment to making the world a better place in which to work, to live, to learn and to grow."

This year, 105 architects from around the country were awarded the Fellow designation, by showing they are "advancing the living standards of people through an improved environment" and "making the profession of ever-increasing service to society."

Verrier is well known nationally among architects involved in historic landmarks, affordable housing and multifamily development. His projects are noteworthy for revitalizing communities, especially waterfront sites, historic mills, hospitals, and disadvantaged zones of his native greater Boston.

Verrier's love of old buildings, and his passion for the preservation of historic fabric, has overlapped with his devotion to creating "quality, safe and attractive housing for those who could not afford it otherwise." Historic restoration projects with affordable housing include The Franklin Square House and Kenmore Abbey, both in Boston. Verrier enjoys an unusually strong reputation among real estate developers, business and institutional leaders, and charitable groups.

The announcement comes as The Architectural Team celebrates its 41st anniversary, and it adds to Verrier's long list of honors, including a lifetime achievement designation from Habitat for Humanity of Greater Boston in 2010.  

Founded in 1971, The Architectural Team, Inc. (www.architecturalteam.com) is a 60-person master planning and architectural firm with a portfolio of distinctive solutions for large urban mixed-use developments, multifamily residential, commercial, hospitality, recreational, and academic facilities, and a national reputation for historic preservation and adaptive reuse.

House Arc, by Bellomo Architects, is a prefabricated off-the-grid housing solution that facilitates compact living. The project was originally designed as an environmentally sensitive and affordable method of housing that is not only functional but also attractive to the eye. Furthermore, it is designed to be easily packed and shipped to any location, where it can then be erected by the user or community. "We designed it to be a kit of parts that can be assembled quickly-like an IKEA house," says House Arc architect Joseph Bellomo.

The House Arc is designed to be flat-packed and shipped in a remarkably small box that measures 4 x 10 x 3 feet (1.2 x 3 x .95 meters). The lightweight base structure consists of a modular system of bent steel tubes that can easily be assembled on site. Constructing the low-impact home requires no special training and is similar to building modular furniture, with a kit of parts and an easy-to-follow, graphic installation manual. Upon assembly, the House Arc becomes a curvaceous 150 square-foot (14 square meter) home that weighs 3,000 pounds (1,360 kg). The house features large windows that allow natural light to filter through the dwelling. A shading trellis limits the amount of heat that can infiltrate inside the building and the raised structure allows air to flow underneath for cooling, whilst also maintaining the permeability of the site. The House Arc can withstand the elements, including tropical winds, and also features a roof designed to support solar energy-generation.

Optional additions to further enhance the sustainability of House Arc include the installation of solar photovoltaic panels and insulation that can be added between panels.

Whilst the House Arc would make an attractive backyard retreat, the lightweight and easy-to-construct house could also function as an emergency shelter. It is a primary focus of Bellomo Architects to develop the House Arc concept so it can be used to house people in devastated areas after a catastrophic event or to replace housing that was not built to withstand such forces. "We foresee the House Arc in locations such as Haiti and New Orleans" says Bellomo Architects.

We just hope that they will drop the US$65,000 price tag for such a noble cause!

The House Arc will be a featured prefab house at this year's Sunset Celebration Weekend in Menlo Park, California from June 2-3.

This is down from the previous quarter, which showed 32.4 percent as slightly or significantly improved and 33 percent as stable.

Inquiries, too, showed a retreat, with quarter-to-quarter inquiries slightly or significantly improved for 31.9 percent of respondents compared to 35.7 percent in the previous quarter. Those reporting inquiries as stable remained unchanged at 33.8 percent.

Comparing fourth quarter 2011 to fourth quarter 2010, the picture improves slightly. Some 40.2 percent of firms reported improved billings, and 23.4 reported billable hours as about the same. Inquiries were 40.3 percent slightly to significantly improved, and another 28.6 percent reported inquiries as stable. In the third quarter, 39 percent reported improvement and 21.3 reported stability year-over-year when comparing billable hours; 39.1 reported improvement and 27.7 percent reported stability in inquiries.

A majority of landscape architecture firms, 75.3 percent, told the ASLA Business Quarterly survey for Q4 2011 that they do not expect to hire during the first quarter of 2012. While the number was high, it too is an improvement on the third quarter, when 81.3 percent said they were not hiring.

Asked about business conditions for the full year of 2012, 45.6 percent of respondents said they expected them to remain the same, but 43.1 percent said they expected conditions to improve. Only 11.2 percent expected conditions to decline. Concerning employment, a majority of 54.7 percent said they expected prospects to remain the same, while 34.3 percent said they expected prospects to improve. A minority of 11 percent said they expected prospects to worsen.

“Landscape architecture firms continue to be mired in the sluggish economy, and this is particularly true when it comes to hiring,” said ASLA Executive Vice President and CEO Nancy Somerville. “The year ahead, however, seems to hold some hope for firms that things may begin to move forward,” she said.
