Summary

The Construction Sector explores the profound impact of urbanization, infrastructure development, and smart cities on the construction industry. As populations concentrate in urban areas, the demand for housing and infrastructure escalates, requiring innovative approaches to meet these needs. The integration of smart technologies further transforms construction, demanding new skills in data analytics and IoT. This book emphasizes the need for the construction sector to adapt to these trends to build sustainable and efficient urban environments.

 
The book underscores that infrastructure projects like transportation and energy systems are vital for supporting urban growth, thereby requiring significant construction expertise. For instance, the rise of smart cities necessitates the use of innovative materials and methods. Examining industry reports and academic research, this book provides actionable insights for professionals and policymakers.

 
Beginning with an overview of urbanization, infrastructure, and smart cities, the book progresses to analyze the impact of these trends on construction demand. It also investigates infrastructure development and the integration of technology, culminating in a discussion of sustainable construction practices. Case studies illustrate real-world applications, making this book a practical guide for navigating the evolving construction landscape.

    The technical object on stage

    At once strange and familiar, bearer of a narrative and initiator of a relationship, the theatrical object has a status in its own right within the performance, and constantly encourages the actor to reassess the quality of his relationship with his immediate environment. This book proposes to turn our attention to a specific type of object: the “technical” object, i.e. the technological apparatus, now digital, as it is put into play on contemporary theatrical stages. More than an exhaustive panorama, L'Objet technique en scène attempts to formulate several questions about the possibilities opened up by these new kinds of objects, through a number of case studies (Marina Bollaín, Simon McBurney, Rabih Mroué, Heiner Goebbels, Dries Verhoeven, Robert Lepage, Agnès de Cayeux, Christiane Jatahy...) and interviews with artists whose production bears witness to an interest in this technical object.

    Through a series of interviews with a wide range of people connected to Pink Floyd in their earliest days (including Nick Mason, Peter Jenner, Jenny Fabian, Storm Thorgerson, Duggie Fields and Peter Whitehead), John Cavanagh paints a vivid picture of how this remarkable debut album was created. He brings to life the stories behind each track, as well as Pink Floyd's groundbreaking live performances of the time. EXCERPTThe Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a wondrous creation often seen through the distorted view of later events. These things have served to overshadow the achievement of The Pink Floyd on their debut album: an outstanding group performance; a milestone in record production; and something made in much happier circumstances than I had expected to find...This is not another book about ""mad Syd"". This, instead, is a celebration of a moment when everything seemed possible, when creative worlds and forces converged, when an album spoke with an entirely new voice. ""Such music I never dreamed of,"" as Rat said to Mole.

    'Riveting' Kirk DouglasFrom his first Oscar, Marlon Brando built an impenetrable fortress around his private life: unauthorised releases—or snapshots of him, even by friends—were forbidden. George Englund was Brando's closest friend for almost fifty years and the last person to visit him before his death. Based on deeply personal stories from the death of their sons to Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, he draws Brando's life as only they knew it. A young actor emerges who was beautiful in every way; driven by his instinctive talent to break new ground, athletic, muscular, seductive, intelligent and generous. And, from early on, seeds of self-destruction began to grow.
