Stairs are a fundamental and universal feature of buildings. The late Alan Blanc, who had a lifetime's obsession with stairs and steps, has provided a definitive reference source which bridges the aesthetic and practical aspects of staircase design. The book is extensively detailed with working drawings and photographs. Construction methods using a variety of materials are discussed, as well as the influence of new technology on vertical circulation. The guidance on codes and regulations, covering the UK and North America is essential ; the historical review and international case studies should inspire and give pleasure to the reader.

"Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach, Sixth Edition by AIAA Fellow Dr. Daniel P. Raymer provides updates to what has become a standard textbook and reference throughout the world on the subject of aircraft conceptual design. This new edition expands and updates this modern classic including timely topics such as "green aircraft" and electric propulsion, but retains the completeness and readability that have placed it in universities and design offices everywhere. The book covers every topic necessary to the understanding of aircraft design, such as aerodynamics, structures, stability and control, propulsion, etc., with an overview introduction starting from first principles. All are discussed from the point of view of the designer, not the specialist in any given topic area"--

Designing Schools explores the close connections between the design of school buildings and educational practices throughout the twentieth century to today. Through international cases studies that span the Americas, Europe, Africa and Australia, this volume examines historical innovations in school architecture and situates these within changing pedagogical ideas about the b̀est' ways to educate children. It also investigates the challenges posed by new technologies and the digital age to the design and use of school places. Set around three interlinked themes - school buildings, school spaces and school cultures - this book argues that education is mediated or framed by the spaces in which it takes place, and that those spaces are in turn influenced by cultural, political and social concerns about teaching, learning and the child.

As a part of the debate on penitentiary architecture, this book proposes a critical interpretation of the conceptual elements and design approaches involved. This proposal, more than others, "mend" the relationship, between theoretical conception and actual building practice of the prison. The interpretation is developed from the idea that the architectural project when it materialises in a built structure, is always the material expression of an abstract idea and of a specific vision of the world which manifests itself through the architectural consistency of the building and of the built spaces.For a long time the subject of penitentiary architecture had been neglected by contemporary architectural culture, permitting the design of prisons to be the result of a combination of ob¬solete practices, security regulations and the wish to reduce construction costs, in detriment of the quality of the interior space and of the efficiency of the penitentiary treatment. Thus the conception of the building focused on severe incarceration, and the refusal to accept the possibility of a more open prison remained mostly unvaried through time. Today, the subject of de¬tention has once again caught the public eye, and that the problems related to it have become untenable. The need has become evident for a more efficient penitentiary system capable of producing positive changes in the detainees. It is thus necessary to re-think the architecture of detention in terms of the quality of space and of the respect of the dignity of the individuals, through new modes of detention, and especially through a knowledgeable design that is the expression of a renewed cultural stance that strengthens the re-educational value of the prison sentence, no longer considering it exclusively as the temporal suspension of certain rights. The objectives expressed through new theoretical developments, represent an ambitious and progressive project aimed at eradicating conservative and backward ideas regarding the role of prison architecture, and propose a new disciplinary conception of the architectural project, open to the academic and professional world in the attempt to solve and make effective the relationship between architectural design, building practices and manage¬ment of the penitentiary structure.The text presented here focuses on the creation of organisational-functional tools for open-regime minimum security structures and on the identification of architectural solutions in which the residential and domestic features of the structures prevail over the typological and distributive layouts typical of traditional penitentiary buildings. The analysis aims at identifying the main essential principles for an efficient design, such as the location, size, spatial organisation, typology of housing space, and last but not less important, the rationalisation of the internal flows. The key elements identified are summarised into a series of general design criteria aimed at establishing an efficient relationship between the functional model and the typological structure, as well as between the building and the surrounding urban fabric.

Cette Norme, développée en réponse à la demande du G20 et approuvée par le Conseil de l’OCDE le 15 juillet 2014, invite les juridictions à obtenir des renseignements auprès de leurs institutions financières et à les échanger automatiquement avec d’autres juridictions sur une base annuelle. Elle définit les informations relatives aux comptes financiers à échanger, les institutions financières qui ont l’obligation de déclarer, les différents types de comptes et les contribuables visés, ainsi que les procédures communes de diligence raisonnable à suivre par les institutions financières. La Partie I donne un aperçu de la Norme. La Partie II contient le texte du Modèle d’accord entre autorités compétentes et la Norme de déclaration (Modèle d’accord) et de diligence raisonnable (NCD). La Partie III contient les Commentaires sur le Modèle d’accord et la NCD ainsi qu’un certain nombre d’Annexes. La nouvelle norme s'inspire largement des travaux antérieurs de l’OCDE dans le domaine de l'échange automatique de renseignements, elle intègre les progrès réalisés au sein de l'Union européenne, tout comme les normes internationales de lutte contre le blanchiment, la mise en œuvre du Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) ayant agi comme un catalyseur pour le passage à l'échange automatique de renseignements dans un contexte multilatéral.
