Social Value in Architecture
This groundbreaking edition of AD brings together a range of global expertise on social value, exploring its potential for demonstrating the positive impact of both architecture and architects on homes and communities in terms of social justice, sustainability and wellbeing. There has been a recent groundswell of interest in the mapping and measuring of social value caused by developments in legislation and planning, as well as a revival of interest in the ethical dimensions of architectural practice. Not only do architects promote wellbeing through the development of carefully conceived and appropriate designs, they can also add social value through the processes of consultation, visioning, briefing, co-design, co-creation, user manuals, soft landings (helping people to make the most of their buildings in use) and post-occupancy evaluation.These are, however, poorly recognised aspects of an architect’s role. We live in an audit culture where organisational performance is measured against predetermined targets.Unfortunately, the focus of architectural practice is generally on the financial cost of what it does in the short term rather than its long-term social value, arguably its market niche. This AD posits that the mapping and measuring of social value provides a real opportunity for the architectural profession to make its key contribution heard.

What is a value judgment in relation to history?
A value judgment in relation to history is when an individual or group evaluates a historical event, person, or concept based on their own beliefs, morals, or values. It involves making subjective assessments about the significance, morality, or impact of past events. Value judgments can influence how history is interpreted, remembered, and taught, as they can shape the narrative and understanding of the past.

How do I know which value is the x-value and which value is the y-value?
In a coordinate pair (x, y), the x-value represents the horizontal position on the graph, while the y-value represents the vertical position. The x-value comes first in the pair and is always written before the y-value. When plotting a point on a graph, the x-value tells you how far to move horizontally, and the y-value tells you how far to move vertically.

What is the value judgment on the history of the Stasi?
The value judgment on the history of the Stasi, the former East German secret police, is overwhelmingly negative. The Stasi is widely condemned for its extensive surveillance, repression, and human rights abuses during its existence from 1950 to 1990. The organization's tactics, including spying on citizens, infiltrating society, and using informants, are seen as a gross violation of individual freedoms and privacy. The Stasi's legacy is one of fear, distrust, and trauma for many who lived under its rule, and its history serves as a reminder of the dangers of unchecked state power and the importance of protecting civil liberties.

Modern Management Methods – Architecture, Historical Value, and the Electromagnetic Image
Modernists of the early twentieth century were transfixed by the X-ray—a means of seeing through skin into systems of bones and tissue.What, nearly a century later, can X-rays reveal about the systems of modernism itself?Modern Management Methods asks how the value of a building is produced through instruments of expertise, management ideologies, and historical narratives.Through unorthodox survey practices, the project uses the imaging techniques of conservation and the documentary detritus of heritage preservation to show how scientific methods attempt to produce stable notions of history and value.Deploying the medium of the X-ray, Caitlin Blanchfield and Farzin Lotfi-Jam tell two related histories of building conservation, internationalism, and the making of modernist meaning through the architect Le Corbusier’s building Stuttgart’s Weissenhofsiedlung and the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.

Out of Architecture : The Value of Architects Beyond Traditional Practice
Out of Architecture is both a call to reassess the architecture profession and its education, and a toolkit for graduates and working architects to untangle their skills, passions, and value from traditional architectural practice and consider alternate pathways. Written by design professionals and expert career consultants, this book is informed by numerous client accounts as well as the authors’ own stories and routes out of architecture.The initial chapters follow the narrative of a typical architecture training in the US, highlighting the many highs and lows, skills honed, and ultimately the huge disconnect that can occur between architectural education and practice.Subsequent chapters explore a disillusionment with the profession, unhealthy work cultures, mentorship, working with lead architects, toxic perfectionism, and the notion of a “calling.” Authors then present the hopeful accounts of many architects who escaped a profession known for its grueling working conditions to find fulfilling, well-paying, creative jobs that better utilize the skills of architecture than the architectural profession itself.Written in a unique combination of storytelling and analysis, this patchwork of client and author stories makes for an immersive, provocative, and enjoyable read.A wide range of architecture students, graduates, educators, and professionals will recognize themselves within the pages of this book and find prompts to reassess their working practices, teaching styles, and the profession itself.It will be of particular value to those students skeptical of joining the architecture workforce, as well as those further along and considering a career change.

What is the difference between future value, present value, and net present value?
Future value is the value of an investment at a specific date in the future, taking into account the interest or return it will earn over time. Present value, on the other hand, is the current value of a future sum of money, taking into account the time value of money and discounting it back to its current value. Net present value is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a specific time period, used to determine the profitability of an investment or project. In summary, future value looks at the value of an investment in the future, present value looks at the current value of future cash flows, and net present value compares the present value of cash inflows and outflows to determine the profitability of an investment.

How do value judgments and factual judgments differ in a history exam?
In a history exam, value judgments are subjective assessments of the significance or moral implications of historical events, while factual judgments are objective assessments of the accuracy and truthfulness of historical information. Value judgments may involve evaluating the impact of historical events on society or determining the significance of certain figures or movements. Factual judgments, on the other hand, involve assessing the accuracy of dates, events, and historical accounts based on evidence and sources. In a history exam, students are expected to demonstrate their ability to make both value judgments and factual judgments in their responses.

What is the value table for quadratic functions with initial value, final value, and increment?

The initial value is the starting point of the function, the final value is the ending point, and the increment is the change in the input values. This table helps to organize and display the relationship between the input and output values of the quadratic function.
