Creating cities/building cities : architecture and urban competitiveness
For the past 150 years, architecture has been a significant tool in the hands of city planners and leaders. In Creating Cities/Building Cities, Peter Karl Kresl and Daniele Ietri illustrate how these planners and leaders have utilized architecture to achieve a variety of aims, influencing the situation, perception and competitiveness of their cities. Whether the objective is branding, re-vitalization of the economy, beautification, development of an economic and business center, status development, or seeking distinction with the tallest building, distinctive architecture has been an essential instrument for those who manage the course of a city's development. Since the 1870s, and the reconstruction of Chicago following the Great Fire, architecture has been affected powerfully by advances in design, technology and materials used in construction. The authors identify several key elements in such a strategic initiative and in the penultimate chapter examine several cases of cities that have ignored one or more of these elements and have failed in their attempt. A unique set of insights into this fascinating topic, this study will appeal to specialists in urban planning, economic geography and architecture. Readers interested in urban development will also find its coverage accessible and enlightening.

The atlas of American architecture : 2000 years of architecture, city planning, landscape architecture and civil engineering
\"From its natural landscapes to its design expressions and its people, the United States is a land of extreme variety. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the built environment of this diverse nation. With over 1100 beautifully photographed illustrations and more than 200,000 words of detailed text, The Atlas of American Architecture reflects this magnificent abundance.

An Efficient Configuration Scheme of CGRA for Block Ciphers
An Efficient Configuration Scheme based on Configuration Context (ECSCC) is proposed to decrease the size of configuration memory and the time of configuration transmission. The ECSCC is applied to a coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA) which is implemented under TSMC 40nm CMOS technology to compare with similar work. The results show that the proposed ECSCC improves the area efficiency by 21.56 X and the energy efficiency by 3.97X.
