Therefore, while designing
the map interface it was crucial to keep in mind user friendliness and clarity
in illustration.The uCampus map was generated in Adobe Illustrator and
then exported as the Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) format to be overlaid
on top of a GIF image depicting the larger urban region. Our experience
shows that the SVG engine provided by the SVG Salamender Project was
particularly suited to drive uCampus’s small size interactive map (Architectural Computing)
Earth Friendly Concrete (EFC) is a Wagners brand name for their commercial form of geopolymer concrete, which the 33 precast floor beams in the new GCI building are made from. Comprising sand, aggregate and a binder that contains ground granulated blast furnace slag, a waste product from steel production, and fly ash, a waste product from coal fired power generation, EFC contains no normal Portland cement. This allows it to have very low CO2 emissions as compared to normal Portland cement-based concrete. The precast panels with cast in hydronic pipes also play an integral part of the building's low energy and passive cooling modes. (Architectral Engineering)
