5 Ways to Celebrate Chinese New Year with Feng Shui
This year, Chinese New Year falls on Friday, Jan 31st in 2014. We say goodbye to the snake and welcome the year of the horse. There are magnificent parades, dancing in the streets, dragon costumes all around, and the entire continent of Asia is in celebration. But what is Chinese New Year all about? This momentous occasion marks the beginning of spring in the Lunar calendar, a time for new beginnings and renewal. To ring in this new year, why not make some feng shui adjustments to bring some balance to your home? Feng shui is an Asian art of placement — or as I like to say, the original “green design”. Through observing and shifting the built environment, feng shui teaches us how to live in harmony with nature. Keep reading to learn more.

Architecture Billings Index Dips for Second Month. Is the Recovery Slowing?
Following a period of extended growth, the Architecture Billings Index (ABI), which is compiled by the AIA, declined for the second straight month, down to 48.5 in December from 49.8 in November (any score below 50 indicates a decline). The news is not entirely bleak, however, as new project inquiries rose to 59.2 up from […]

Pollution Solutions: 10 Weird And Wonderful Inventions To Make You Breathe Easy (Or Not)
With the impending doom of climate change looming closer and closer, NGOs, nonprofits, and governments around the world are asking citizens to drive less, buy local, and “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” However, there are certain places where these gestures may not be enough—cities where years of heavy industry, inefficient energy usage, and a lack of environmental regulation have contributed to massive pollution, non-potable water, and smog-drenched skies (we’re looking at you, China). Indeed, the situation in some areas is so dire that the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is on the brink of mandating governments to physically extract greenhouse gases from the air. But, other than simply planting a bunch of trees all over the place, how exactly does one do this? With the heat from the UN—and with billionaire patrons like Richard Branson dangling a giant money-carrot—the race is on to develop innovative methods and technologies to assist in carbon dioxide removal. The scope of concepts is vast, ranging from god-like weather control and geo-engineering efforts, to personal breathing-capsules and grassroots DIY filters. Here are some of the most interesting—and strangest—contenders in this worldwide race to eradicate pollution. AP Photo/Ng Han Guan via …

2014 RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship Call for Entries
The 2014 RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship has launched and is inviting applications from schools of architecture around the world. A £6,000 grant will be awarded to one student by a panel of judges which includes Lord Foster and the President of the RIBA.
First established in 2006, the scholarship is now in its seventh year and is intended to fund international research on a topic related to the survival of our towns and cities, in a location of the student’s choice. Past RIBA Norman Foster Scholars have travelled through the Americas, Europe, Africa, South East Asia, the Middle and the Far East, and Russia.
Proposals for research might include: learning from the past to inform the future; the future of society; the density of settlements; sustainability; the use of resources; the quality of urban life; and transport.
The deadline for submissions is Friday 25 April 2014. Further details and an application form can be downloaded from the RIBA website architecture.com/fosterscholarship.
2014 RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship Call for Entries originally appeared on ArchDaily, the most visited architecture website on 23 Jan 2014.

BIM Handbook: A Guide to Building Information Modeling for Owners, Managers, Designers, Engineers and Contractors
“The BIM Handbook is an extensively researched and meticulously written book, showing evidence of years of work rather than something that has been quickly put together in the course of a few months. It brings together most of the current information about BIM, its history, as well as its potential future in one convenient place, and can serve as a handy reference book on BIM for anyone who is involved in the design, construction, and operation of buildings and needs to know about the technologies that support it. The need for such a book is indisputable, and it is terrific that Chuck Eastman and his team were able to step up to the plate and make it happen. Thanks to their efforts, anyone in the AEC industry looking for a deeper understanding of BIM now knows exactly where to look for it.”
—AECbytes book review, August 28, 2008 (www.aecbytes.com/review/2008/BIMHandbook.html)
Discover BIM: A better way to build better buildings
Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers a novel approach to design, construction, and facility management in which a digital representation of the building process is used to facilitate the exchange and interoperability of information in digital format. BIM is beginning to change the way buildings look, the way they function, and the ways in which they are designed and built.
The BIM Handbook, Second Edition provides an in-depth understanding of BIM technologies, the business and organizational issues associated with its implementation, and the profound advantages that effective use of BIM can provide to all members of a project team. Updates to this edition include:
Completely updated material covering the current practice and technology in this fast-moving field
Expanded coverage of lean construction and its use of BIM, with special focus on Integrated Project Delivery throughout the book
New insight on the ways BIM facilitates sustainable building
New information on interoperability schemas and collaboration tools
Six new case studies
Painting a colorful and thorough picture of the state of the art in building information modeling, the BIM Handbook, Second Edition guides readers to successful implementations, helping them to avoid needless frustration and costs and take full advantage of this paradigm-shifting approach to construct better buildings that consume fewer materials and require less time, labor, and capital resources.
