- Community bonds in new working spaces of a small townTagliaro, Chiara; Zhou, Yaoyi; Hua, Ying (Routledge, 2022-08-26)Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has created dramatic changes in people’s ways of living and working. Flexible working arrangements have become widespread and encourage more distributed work practices in countries where they were formerly less common. In the US, the abandonment of densely populated areas for less dense areas has been increasingly common since the COVID-19 outbreak. After nearly a year of remote work because of the pandemic, 31% of Americans, also including young people, prefer to live in rural areas and 17% in towns (Gallup, 2021), looking for nature, a relaxed pace of life, and a comfortable community atmosphere. This chapter explores how new working spaces (NWSs), including coworking spaces, maker spaces, and incubators in small towns have been impacted by COVID-19 and it discusses their future after the crisis.
- Doctoral Training for Practitioners: ADAPTr (Architecture, Design and Art Practice Research) a European Commission Marie Curie Initial Training NetworkStamm, Marcelo; Blythe, Richard (Bloomsbury Academic, 2017-01-01)The aim of the European Union Marie Curie Initial Training Network Grant ‘Architecture Design and Art Practice research’ (ADAPTr) is to mobilise the adoption of a practice approach to doctoral research training, and enable seven European universities to: explore its applicability to their contexts; adopt this proven approach to doctoral training through the establishment of an open supervisory network; develop allied support resources; achieve substantial engagement of SMEs (small and medium enterprises) in doctoral training; conduct research into this innovative approach (Blythe et al.,2013). The core feature of this approach to doctoral training is the premise that new knowledges are developed through certain kinds of creative practice (identified as ‘venturous’ ) from which research can be ‘extracted’. [1] ADAPTr provides a model that fills an internationally identified gap in postgraduate training. It involves reflection on an existing body of peer-acknowledged work and reflection during the production of new works produced concurrently with and informing the doctoral research. The works, processes and methods of the practice are placed in a broader disciplinary context which allows the research to be theorised from within the practice discipline and to clearly identify contributions to disciplinary knowledge. Thus, the research work of the PhD examines, and is also transformative of, the practice within which it is situated. This chapter will provide an overview of this approach to doctoral training with specific reference to ADAPTr and the grant’s key research work packages.
- Introduction to SonificationBukvic, Ivica Ico (Routledge, 2019-06-01)This chapter provides an introduction into the world of sonification, why it exists, and how we may benefit from it. It presents the material in a way that requires minimal prior knowledge and defines key terms necessary for the content comprehension. A series of common realworld scenarios are presented and revisited throughout the chapter to illustrate key traits and the underutilized sonification potential. They are followed by some of the common-sense strategies that have emerged from this nascent field of research. Further, the chapter explores the full potential of sonification to help us quantify the limits of human ability to perceive and interpret spatial audio streams while also sidestepping some of the key limitations of the current virtual approaches to spatializing sound.
