The Art of Bridge Design
TU Delft Open, 2019Co-Authors: Smits JorisAbstract:It is hard to imagine a world without bridges. Bridges lie at the heart of our civilization bringing growth and prosperity to our society. It is by virtue of bridges that communities are able to physically connect to new people and to new places that were previously disconnected. However, bridges are more than mere functional assets. A well-designed bridge reflects mankind’s creativity and ingenuity. The way that our bridges are commissioned, designed and procured is rapidly changing. Nowadays, a large number of experts from many different disciplines work on the design during different phases of the project. The segregation of knowledge into discipline-specific fields, and the fragmented approach to bridge procurement, have resulted in a general lack of cohesion in bridge design. The objective of this research is to identify a design approach, through all scales of the design, that Leads to bridges that are well-integrated, that are integrally-designed and that are valued by society. The methodology of this research is the reviewing of numerous projects from my own bridge design practice. By identifying design considerations on four levels, namely the level of the landscape, on the level of the bridge, on the level of the detail and on the level of the material, this research demonstrates how an overall approach to well-integrated, integrally designed and valued bridges can be achieved by addressing each of these scales of the design. If the mutations in the field of bridge design that have occurred over the past 150 years have taught us one thing, it is that the field of bridge design has become far too complex to be embodied by one person, whether it be an engineer or an Architect. The role that the master builder played up until the late renaissance, bringing together aesthetic design and building craft into one person, is nowadays fulfilled by a team of specialists. You could say that the integrated design team is the contemporary version of the renaissance master builder. The basis of the ideal team naturally consists of a Lead Architect and a chief engineer. Within this team, the Architect should be the design integrator; he or she has the task of securing the equilibrium between Beauty, Utility and Solidity throughout every phase of the design process. This balancing act takes place at all scale levels and through all phases of the design.

Green 'heart' for new community hospital.
Health estate, 2013Co-Authors: Jonathan BaillieAbstract:Replacing a healthcare facility first opened in 1908 as a 20-bed cottage hospital, the recently opened 'new' Finchley Memorial Hospital in north-west London was designed by Architects, Murphy Philipps, 'to be at the heart of a health campus', surrounded by green space for use by both the hospital itself, and the local community. The 28 million pounds hospital, which has achieved a BREAAM Excellent rating - with an annual energy target of just 35 GJ/100 m3 set by SHINE, the Department of Health-backed learning network for sustainable healthcare buildings - has also featured as one of only 20 projects in the RIBA Health Buildings Exhibition. HEJ editor, Jonathan Baillie, met with Lead Architect, Marc Levinson, to find out more about the key elements, and the thinking, that went into the design.

Atrium and artwork appeal to the heart.
Health estate, 2009Co-Authors: Jonathan BaillieAbstract:The new Bristol Heart Institute (BHI), part of University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust (UH Bristol), and one of a number of specialist regional cardiology and cardiac surgery centres built in England over the past decade in line with Department of Health regional cardiac provision strategy, opened to its first patients in May. Lead Architect at CODA Architects Craig Bennett told Jonathan Baillie the "excellent spirit of collaboration" throughout the facility's design and construction was a major contributor to its completion on time and on budget.

Effective Use of Microsoft Enterprise Library: Building Blocks for Creating Enterprise Applications and Services (Microsoft .NET Development Series)
2006Co-Authors: Len FensterAbstract:Writing robust enterprise applications presents a special challenge for developers, but Microsoft has addressed that challenge with the free, downloadable Enterprise Library for the .NET Framework.Enterprise Library is a collection of application blocks and guidance documents that together provide functionality common to enterprise applications; each application block includes full source code. Lacking in the guidance provided by Microsoft is an overall roadmap to the process of using the application blocks. Effective Use of Microsoft Enterprise Library is that roadmap.Microsoft application development Lead Architect Len Fenster explains exactly how to build applications using Enterprise Library application blocks. Fenster covers all seven application blocks as implemented for .NET Framework 1.1, shows how to develop and use a new application block, and explains how Enterprise Library is changing for .NET Framework 2.0.Readers will learn How the Configuration Application Block is designed and can be used at runtime to easily read and write configuration data How the Configuration Application Block works at design time for all blocks How to use the Data Access Block to create a portable data layer How to use the Exception Handling Application Block to implement a policy-driven, application-wide exception handling system How to use the Logging and Instrumentation Application Block to log and instrument messages independent of the message destination How to add authentication, authorization, role membership, security cache, and profile membership features to an application with the Security Application Block How to use the Cryptography Application Block to add functionality to encrypt and decrypt data and create and compare hashes How to build your own application block and providers that “snap” right into Enterprise LibraryWhether you plan to extend Enterprise Library for your organization, or just use the existing application blocks to add functionality to your Architecture in a consistent, extensible, integrated way, this book will guide you through the complexities and help you find a clear path to success.
