Buckminster Fuller’s World Game and Its Legacy

Buckminster Fuller’s World Game and Its Legacy

This book studies R. Buckminster Fuller’s World Game and similar world games past and present. Proposed by Fuller in 1964 and first played in colleges and universities across North America at a time of growing ecological crisis the World Game attempted to turn data analysis systems modelling scenario building computer technology and information design to more egalitarian ends to meet human needs. It challenged players to redistribute finite planetary resources more equitably to ‘make the world work’. Criticised and lauded in equal measure the World Game has evolved through several formats and continues today in correspondence with debates on planetary stewardship gamification data management and the democratic deficit. This book looks again at how the World Game has been played focusing on its architecture design and gameplay. With hindsight the World Game might appear naïve utopian or technocratic but we share its problems if not necessarily its solutions. Such a study will be of interest to scholars working in art history design history game studies media studies architecture and the environmental humanities. | Buckminster Fuller’s World Game and Its Legacy

Traveling through Video Games

Traveling through Video Games

This book unlocks an understanding of video games as virtual travel. It explains how video game design increasingly takes cues from the promotional language of tourism and how this connection raises issues of power and commodification. Bridging the disciplinary gap between game and tourism studies the book offers a comprehensive account of touristic gazing in games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Minecraft and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Traveling through video games involves a mythological promise of open-ended opportunity summarized in the slogan you can go there. Van Nuenen discusses the scale of game worlds the elusive nature of freedom and control and the pivotal role of work in creating a sense of belonging. The logic of tourism is fundamentally consumptive—but through design choices players can also be invited to approach their travels more critically. This is the difference between moving through a game world and being moved by it. This interdisciplinary and innovative study will interest students and scholars of digital media studies game studies tourism and technology and the Digital Humanities.

The Rules of Project Risk Management Implementation Guidelines for Major Projects

The Rules of Project Risk Management Implementation Guidelines for Major Projects

The Rules of Project Risk Management 2nd Edition provides practical experience-based guidance to support the delivery of effective project risk management. While the discipline is recognised as a major contributor to the successful outcome of projects its implementation is far from straightforward. Successful delivery requires an in-depth understanding of the ingredients of effective risk management practices which impact project performance. The book’s value is derived from the description of these ingredients in a manner which will support their practical implementation. The author describes a series of guidelines (labelled rules) to support the practical application of project risk management to positively influence project outcomes. The rules are supported by mini case studies of both successful and unsuccessful projects to bring to life the ramifications of effective and poor risk management respectively and are assembled under seven headings of environment external stakeholders organisation and culture leadership and governance internal stakeholders risk resources and system. This second edition contains a new glossary of terms and an overview of the risk management process to enable those new to the subject to understand the core risk management activities. It also contains six more individual guidelines and ten more case studies to support practitioners researchers and academics alike to gain an even greater appreciation of the drivers of successful project risk management. Enabling the reader to get inside risk management to gain an appreciation of the individual components and how the engine works this book is essential reading for project and risk management professionals. While the guidelines are described individually so specific subjects can be examined in detail they must be considered together for like a car specialist carburettors fuel injection or high-octane fuel on their own do not support improved performance. The guidelines can be considered as the elements that should be taken into account when compiling a risk maturity model to drive incremental improvement in risk management practices. | The Rules of Project Risk Management Implementation Guidelines for Major Projects

Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems

Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems

The use of solar collectors for domestic hot water over the past 20 years has demonstrated that solar heating systems are now founded on a reliable and mature technology. However the development of similar but more complex systems to provide both domestic hot water and space heating (solar combisystems) resulted in a diverse range of different designs that were not carefully optimized to reflect local climate and practice. Application of energy-efficient building strategies such as improved thermal insulation and use of low temperature heat supply systems is becoming increasingly common. This trend combined with growing environmental awareness and the subsidies available in certain countries favours an increase in market share for solar combisystems. The need for guidelines in selecting the appropriate system and designing this system according to the specific needs of the building and the local environment is therefore now increasingly pressing. This book fills that need. | Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems
