Koolhaas is, above all, an interviewer. His interviews contribute to his architectural production as a way of working, thinking and speculating. He approaches these formats as archives to expand the notion of the interview as a meaningful form of knowledge. They are oral archives that are part of the oral history of architecture, a discipline very little theorized and with hardly any conceptualization of the architectural interview. Koolhaas' marathon interviewing work is a vehicle for the production of critical thought where he uses his interviews with a practical, theoretical and critical function; and with this he contributes to the understanding of the essayistic, instrumental and speculative value of oral transmission as a projectual strategy in itself. Koolhaas understands the pulse of change through his interviewees and makes a great effort to find out what architecture will be like if the conditions fabricated by neoliberalism make it irrelevant. This question is crucial in the present moment: the mixture of trying to revisit through interviews what has happened by recoding it and what is happening read unprejudiced, intellectualizing it as an epistemological form and as a tool to be able to work with pressing problems that allow us to face the future with a critical position.

The paper presents results from multistage hierarchical validation of advanced FEM models used to define rotation capacity of steel joints. Validation process has been carried out for different models with various level of complexity. Comparative analysis of the FEM models has been carried out in relation to results obtained in laboratory tests. Developed methodology of the formation of material characteristic is a base for further analysis of advanced models of beam-to-column end-plate connections in the area of forecasting the rotation capacity curve (M-ϕ).

Turkiye'nin guney batisinda ve Datca Yarimadasi’nin guneyinde yer alan Datca ve Hisaronu Korfezlerinde Holosen sedimantasyon sureclerini ve kontrol eden faktorleri arastirmak amaci ile 2013 yilinda MTA-SELEN Arastirma Gemisi ile Datca ve Hisaronu Korfezlerinin tabanindan 71 nokta istasyonda kepce ile yuzeysel (ust 30 cm) sediman ornekleri alinmistir. Sedimanlarda tane boyu, toplam agir mineral ve ana element analizleri yapilmistir. Kiyiya dik alinan sismik kesitte sismik fasiyes analizleri yapilmistir. Analizlerde bilinen ve yaygin uygulanan yontem ve teknikler kullanilmistir. Sismik kesite gore, kitasal self kenari ya da esigi gunumuzde -90/- 120 m su derinliklerinde bulunmakta ve Kuvaterner donemine ait deniz seviyesi degisimlerini gosterir sismik fasiyes ozelliklerini sergilemektedir. Radyokarbon yaslandirma hesaplamalari, sediman orneklerinin gunumuzden 2694-14700 yil once cokelmeye basladiklarini isaret etmektedir. Deniz tabani sedimanlari %1-18 arasinda cakil, %7-85 kum, %2-30 silt ve %6-69 kil boyu kirintili malzemeden olusmaktadir. Silt ve kil karisimi camur en bol bulunan sediman turu olmasina ragmen yer yer kum ve cakil oranlari da onem teskil etmektedir. Alansal tane boyu dagilimlarinda bolgesel farkliliklar oldugu gibi, kalinti (relik) sedimanlarin varligi da tartisilmaktadir. Siyah kumca zengin toplam agir mineral miktarlari cogunlukla %2’nin altinda olup, ofiyolit ve kromitce zengin orta ve dogu bolgelerde %13’e kadar yukselmektedir. Sedimanlarin inorganik jeokimyasi goreceli olarak yuksek ve ofiyolitik kokenli Mg, Cr, Ni ve Fe miktarlari ile belirgindir. Bolgedeki akarsu drenaj sistemleri, korfez morfolojisi, kaynak alan kayaclarinin litolojisi ve denizel dalga ve akintilar sedimanlardaki tane boyu dagilimini, toplam agir mineral oranlarini ve ana element bilesimini etkileyen faktorlerdir

There are occasions when it becomes necessary to incorporate new profiles into the photographic workflow, either because the original no longer reflects the characteristics of the equipment it was designed to complement or because a new item has been added to the workflow without an accompanying profile. Sometimes the vendor develops an improved profile for their product. This chapter provides a brief description of the procedure for generating new profiles, whether that is by the vendor or the user. When generating a profile two types of profiles were identified. A simple matrix-based profile is used when the characteristics of the device are precisely defined and stable, and table-based profiles are used when an imprecise description of the characteristics is known and/or the characteristics are not stable. All colour management settings on the scanner should be set to off and a tagged image file format (TIFF) selected for recording the file.

Encoding describes a number of processes which may be used to both improve the integrity of the signals during conveyance and storage and reduce the amount of information needed to define a colour image in an electronic form, including matrixing, filtering of spatial detail the eye does not perceive and multiplexing. This chapter addresses the colorimetric aspects of matrixing and filtering. In addressing the requirements for the storage and conveyance of colour signals, three areas need to be addressed: retention of colour balance, compatibility with monochrome systems and efficiency improvement in terms of data storage capacity and conveyance data rate. The chapter lists the characteristics of the eye relevant to colour reproduction, and describes the configuration of a constant luminance system designed with the linear screen in mind. It illustrates the various configurations of the variants of the YC system in a schematic form.
