TL;DR: The "Precisions" as mentioned in this paper is a collection of 10 lectures Le Corbusier gave in Buenos Aires in 1929, reflecting a new maturity in his thinking, covering technique as the basis of architecture, the human scale in design, furniture, the private house, apartments and office buildings, the city, the League of Nations competition, teaching architecture.
Abstract: Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of his death (August 27, 2015), one of Le Corbusier's most significant books becomes available again in English. The "Precisions", as the book is commonly known, emerged from a spontaneous and exuberant series of 10 lectures Le Corbusier gave in Buenos Aires in 1929, reflecting a new maturity in his thinking. They contain some of his most compelling aphorisms, covering technique as the basis of architecture, the human scale in design, furniture, the private house, apartments and office buildings, the city, the League of Nations competition, teaching architecture. As he spoke, Le Corbusier improvised colour drawings on large sheets of paper. The drawings and lectures are unique in their eloquent and concise summary of his philosophy of architecture and urban design, stating the principles that informed his work from the 1920s on. This new edition for the first time features all of Le Corbusier's drawings in colour. A new essay by British scholar Tim Benton, written for this new edition, contextualizes the "Precisions" within Le Corbusier's oeuvre and comments on their lasting significance.

TL;DR: In this paper, state-of-the-art research projects on theories and applications within Mixed Reality are presented by leading researchers covering topics in architecture, design collaboration, construction and education.
Abstract: Mixed Reality is moving out of the research-labs into our daily lives. It plays an increasing role in architecture, design and construction. The combination of digital content with reality creates an exciting synergy that sets out to enhance engagement within architectural design and construction. State-of-the-art research projects on theories and applications within Mixed Reality are presented by leading researchers covering topics in architecture, design collaboration, construction and education. They discuss current projects and offer insight into the next wave of Mixed Reality possibilities.

TL;DR: The focus of the paper is on both local and global software architecture to support the implementation of location-aware services, and one of these services, hearsay, is used to illustrate the implementation dimensions of a GLOSS.
Abstract: A GLObal Smart Space (GLOSS) provides support for interaction amongst people, artefacts and places while taking account of both context and movement on a global scale Crucial to the definition of a GLOSS is the provision of a set of location-aware services that detect, convey, store and exploit location information We use one of these services, hearsay, to illustrate the implementation dimensions of a GLOSS The focus of the paper is on both local and global software architecture to support the implementation of such services The local architecture is based on XML pipelines and is used to construct location-aware components The global architecture is based on a hybrid peer-to-peer routing scheme and provides the local architectures with the means to communicate in the global context
