Fusion : The Performance of Architecture explores the integration of high design and performance as the two drivers creating architecture that is rational, humane, and beautiful. The recipient of the 2019 AIA Architecture Firm Award, Payette embodies practices that are crucial to bettering our built environment. Founded eighty-five years ago, the hospitals and laboratories that Payette has designed introduced advances that continue through today, while never compromising on aesthetic and use value. With primary sections illuminating core principles of the firm -- Identity and Transformation, Materiality and Craft, Taming Complexity, and Measuring Performance -- the book presents detailed portraits of recent projects that manifest these principles. Sympathetic to their cultural settings, incorporating nature, socially rich, and legibly ordered, these projects stand as models not only for the state of the art of hospital and laboratory architecture, but also for how architecture improves people's lives every day. Rooted in the conviction that beautiful buildings should perform beautifully -- not just in environmental and use terms, but also socially and culturally -- Payette in this book provides insight into how dispelling the artificial dichotomy between performance and design creates a holistic architecture for the twenty-first century.

Plusieurs recherches démontrent que le sentiment d'insécurité influence la mobilité en milieu urbain ainsi que l'adoption de comportements visant à se protéger d’une potentielle victimisation. Qu'en est-il des étudiants ? Cette étude s'intéresse à la façon dont le sentiment d'insécurité se manifeste à travers les déplacements et les comportements des étudiants lorsqu'ils se trouvent dans l’obscurité sur le campus du Sart Tilman de l'Université de Liège. Pour ce faire, des entretiens semi-directifs ont été réalisés avec onze d’entre eux. De l’analyse de ceux-ci ressort différentes catégories dont certaines comprennent une comparaison avec le centre-ville et la journée. Celles-ci concernent le choix du trajet, ce qui est considéré comme rassurant ou non, les explications concernant les peurs, les comportements, la définition des victimes, la définition de l’agresseur, ainsi que les solutions constatées et proposées. Finalement, les déplacements effectués sur le campus lorsqu’il fait sombre semblent être influencés, quand le choix est possible, tant par des éléments personnels que par des caractéristiques physiques de l’environnement. Toutefois, ils ne semblent pas subir de restriction. Très peu de comportements auto protecteurs sont adoptés par les participants lors de leurs déplacements sur le campus. Aussi, les représentations apparaissent différentes d’un individu à l’autre et semblent subir diverses influences.

The 1960s and the 1970s marked a generational shift in architectural discourse at a time when the revolts inside universities condemned the academic institution as a major force behind the perpetuation of a controlling society. Focusing on the crisis and reform of higher education in Italy, The University as a Settlement Principle investigates how university design became a lens for architects to interpret a complex historical moment that was marked by the construction of an unprecedented number of new campuses worldwide. Implicitly drawing parallels with the contemporary condition of the university under a regime of knowledge commodification, it reviews the vision proposed by architects such as Vittorio Gregotti, Giuseppe Samonà, Archizoom, Giancarlo De Carlo, and Guido Canella, among others, to challenge the university as a bureaucratic and self-contained entity, and defend, instead, the role of higher education as an agent for restructuring vast territories. Through their projects, the book discusses a most fertile and heroic moment of Italian architectural discourse and argues for a reconsideration of architecture’s obligation to question the status quo. This work will be of interest to postgraduate researchers and academics in architectural theory and history, campus design, planning theory, and history.

"This co-authored collection offers valuable insights about the impact of leading off-campus study on faculty leaders' teaching, research, service, and overall well-being. Recognizing that faculty leaders are themselves global learners, the book addresses ways that liberal arts colleges can more effectively achieve their strategic goals for students' global learning by intentionally anticipating and supporting the needs of faculty leaders, as they grow and change. This volume offers key findings and recommendations to stimulate conversations among administrators, faculty, and staff about concrete actions they can explore and steps they can take on their campuses to both support faculty leaders of off-campus programs and advance strategic institutional goals for global learning. This collection includes transferrable pedagogical insights and the perspectives of faculty members who have led off-campus study programs in a variety of disciplines and geographic regions"--

Using new research on higher education in the UK, Canada, Chile and Italy, this rigorous comparative study investigates key episodes of student protests against neoliberal policies and practices in today's universities. As well as examining origins and outcomes of higher education reforms, the authors set these waves of demonstrations in the wider contexts of student movements, political activism and social issues, including inequality and civil rights. Offering sophisticated new theoretical arguments based on fascinating empirical work, the insights and conclusions revealed in this original study are of value to anyone with an interest in social, political and related studies.
