CASA Wednesday seminar with University of Southampton dated 27th Feb 2019   Dr Samantha Cockings  The data is recorded about how many people are living and different times of the day. The age specific time profile to check the analysis of the data in London. It will give us a output used with help of grid and meter, information of the data. Background modelling , spatial attribute, background layers. Retail footfall - eg. High street and shopping centre with a classification of the workplace. Sensors in the retail- counting no. of devices which will help how many people is in that area. Classification of the workplace zones- what times of workplace is in that area- with help of smart cities sensors. 

Seminar at CASA,  The Bartlett  by Prof Celine Rozenblat from University of Lausanne- Switzerland A multi-level networks perspective on the complex urban systems. Transport and connectivity of the geography and sustainability. Resilience standard - concept which is defined the cities - system of cities is required to understand. A book is published on International and transaction perspective of urban systems taking constitutes in ti urban systems. Cities maximised the socio- economic interactions, which is important in spatial interaction. Because of inequality of position, it is happening the process and skill of cities. The diversity of network and new network of cities and emergence. Urban system gets diversity of sources which is very important and nodes are different from its path. There are multi level cities networks which have urban processed inside the city and between the cities. Network economy with the CITADYNE database - cities and dynamics of cities. F...

  Session One: Started with a presentation from Jonathan Gray from KCL- Digital Humanities and Public Data Lab- Data witnessing: Attending to Human Rights situations with Data in Amnesty International ’s decoders Initiative. Session Two: Data as crisis - the pitfalls of digital humanitarianism by Mirca Madianou from Goldsmiths, University of London. The convergence of technologies and practises within private and public sectors in response to humanitarian emergencies inclusive of design and digital innovation. The collection and uses of larger data sets wither its big data or crisis data  and practises of humanitarian officers. There are categories of data - examples like the small data from the business systems or transactional data . Data collections just became easier - Build, collect, analyse - online or offline. The logic of accountability as the power of asymmetries in the humanitarian and interactive technologies will correct power asymmetries. In 2014 it...

 Langauage could be a major source that helps to communication in multilingual societies., with lots of risk involved while talking or communicating personally or professionally. Dr. Federico M.Federici from UCL centre of Translation Societies provides a detailed lunchtime lectures on Spanish speaking country with France and others. Overall a new topic of discussion that is experienced in our daily routine at UCL Darwin Lecture feature dated 5th Feb 2019

First lunchtime PhD mini-talk for 2019, was given by Polly Hudson in the CASA Student Room. Polly’s thesis is titled “Using Building Construction Age Diversity to Analyse Speed of Turnover, to Improve Resilience in London’s Building Stock"; in which she has mapped out a fair bit of London based on their age. More recently though, she has been working on a spinoff of her work called Colouring London in an open platform for building attribute data. In the seminar, Polly was keen to share her progress on Colouring London, and how CASA can help contribute through interacting with it.  Polly designed the Building of Bath Museum in 1992  and founded The Building Exploratory charitable trust ( a model for hands -on knowledge transfer centres about the built environment)  in 1996 .She began to design community oriented GIS interfaces in collaboration with Hackney's crime mapping department and also met and collaborated with Mike and Andy. 

  Monday the 4th, Dunnhumby  They basically have access to consumers data, such as Tesco cards, etc. It global leader in Customer Data Science, empowering businesses to compete and thrive in the data-driven economy. Their  science sets  apart and at dunnhumby have the opportunity to work on ground-breaking technology delivering extraordinary impact for our customers. Their  work on Spatial Interaction model in Retail outlet and need to predict and  forecast the opening and closing of store in particular location spatially. Various parameters will be worked on the regression and clustering models of the research question with the data from stores like Tesco, Sainbury, Iceland etc in London.

TATE organised seminar on how the physical environment within which we work (i.e. the office space) and how having the ability to work how we want to  work (i.e. flexibility) both impact productivity. You’ll gain a clear understanding of exactly how work environments and flexibility impact productivity, office hacks you can implement today and a methodology to  enable flexible working. Taken collectively, the independent research says these will increase employee productivity by over 250 percentage. Hosted by Russel Beck on 5 th February 2019 by TATE -   Award-winning Office Specialist Recruitment

In this talk and paper Eckhard will present his J&E Hall Gold Medal Award winning research. He has been working on the modelling and testing of positive displacement compressors for more than twenty years. The ability of the PDSim modeling platform to accurately predict the performance of hermetic positive displacement compressors will be discussed in detail. To understand how to use these models to evaluate design changes via parametric studies. Institute of Refrigeration- IOR is the UK hub for information on HVAC, PHE and other  building  services.

Experimental Information design - Maxwell J Roberts from Casa Seminar dated 6th Feb 2019 Department of Psychology - University of Essex Urban Public Transport - look and different of the map. Transit network - network coverage and connectivity highlighting the new additions . Use of network by choice - more maps - way singing purpose, change and route of destination. Schematic maps - beyond topography - line trajectories - horizontal and vertical and 45 degrees.  Need to have clarity and scale of the map, simplifying the maps, octolinearity. Maps are good for psychology - complicated presentation. Expectation of the map design - Wurzburg network which have a straight line. Evidence based design needed. There are various maps which are used and implemented which is used for usability testing. generalisable findings are identified  Maps for theory  Set of maps which is easy to use The gold standard as Octolinearity of Map Example from the Pa...
