Earth Day 2013 at One and Two Century was an exceptionally great success this year! An E-Waste recycling event was in place all week and many computers, monitors, VCR’s, copiers and other electronic devices were saved from being put into landfills. The property collected more than last year’s total of 1,475 pounds of e-waste during the drive. Waste Management, the property’s e-waste recycling partner, offered a great deal with a price cap for unlimited waste and pickups.

 

Additionally, they held a cell phone collection for Secure the Call. The drive gives new life to these devices while giving much needed emergency phones for the elderly and victims of domestic violence.

 

PACE Transportation promoted the use of public transportation in the Chicago area. They presented transit system maps and information on how using the transportation system helps the environment, saves money and cuts down on traffic.

 

Tenants received an energy saving CFL light bulb, mixed wildflower seed packets and an Earth-decorated sugar cookie.

 

The property team keeps the Earth Day celebration well-rounded by not only being planet-friendly, but also by giving back to the community with the cell phone drive.

Image Craft's ICON Themed Environments division created this new suite of office furniture, custom designed for our recently expanded Colorado office, now located in Centennial.

 

Shown here in various stages of production are a reception desk, media wall with podium, conference room table, storage and display credenzas, and more! The furnishings, primarily composed of shop ply and MDF, feature a zebra wood laminate with folkstone gray and matte black laminate work surfaces.

 

This project was produced entirely in-house in our Phoenix headquarters, from design to fabrication, and ultimately, through on-site installation. Backlit lettering and graphics are also part of the overall concept, and will be the final addition. We'll add more photos here as the project progresses.

The Virtual Environments module, ( 1st Year FD Design for Digital Media ) - set a brief where students had to create a prototype experience based around an area from the DirectGov website . The students were advised to focus their projects on the areas of 'Environment & Greener Living' or 'Health and Wellbeing'

 

Waste and Recycling

 

This prototype build, focused on Recycling waste. The build was split into two sections.. a recycling building that contained a conveyor belt where you could find out what objects could be recycled as they headed towards the furnace ( in the larger idea - this would be a further developed game element where people would sift objects that could be recycled or not ). The second section was a Rubbish Dump - that explained more of the dangers of badly disposed waste.

Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK

The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.

This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.

H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to

form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.

 

The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.

There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.

In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.

The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008

 

As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.

Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity

 

A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.

Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.

The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.

Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.

 

Chronology

 

1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.

 

1953 - Construction work is largely completed.

 

1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.

 

1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices

 

1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.

 

1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)

 

TOUCHSCREEN

 

A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine.

Information From Hugh Williams/mraths

  

1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.

 

1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.

 

2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre

 

2019 - Visual Recording of the buildings interior by MRATHS. Be means of a LIDAR scan and photographs being taken. The exterior was mapped with a drone to allow a 3D Image of the building to be created via Photogrammetry. This was created in Autodesk Photo Recap.

 

2020 - Building demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site.

In response to rising world concern about the conditions of man’s habitat, representatives of some 130 nations converged on Stockholm, Sweden, in an unprecedented meeting to seek ways to translate that concern into a global attack on the common perils menacing the environment. The two-week U.N. Conference on the Human Environment (5-16 June) was called by the General Assembly with the aim of producing an international political consensus on ways of preserving and improving the environment for this and future generations.

Maurice Strong, Secretary-General of the Conference, addressing a group of people at a “Whale Celebration” held at Skarpnack. One of the recommendations made at the Conference was – Governments should reach an international agreement to stop the commercial hunting of whales for 10 years, and should prepare conventions to protect migratory animals and those that inhabit international waters; a global programme should be initiated to preserve the world’s genetic resources through conservation and seed banks. [5-16 June 1972]

The first COMMUNIA salon took place on the the 20th of March 2018 at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels as part of the European Copyright Action Days. Activists, academics and policy makers discussed the challenges on the intersection of creativity, value creation and copyright in the online environment. The first discussion was focussed on the future of creativity in the online environment: is it possible to reward creators for their contributions, while preserving the open nature of the internet? The second session was focused on exploring the consequences of the half-hearted copyright reform proposal that is currently moving through the European institutions. A possible copyright landscape in 10 years from now was explored under the title “Copyright Directive 2030: what kind of internet will we have in Europe if the current Directive passes?”.

Employees supported a special Earth Month celebration with the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Around 100 volunteers supported this important environmental organisation through either gardening with the horticulture team, or lantern making for their award-winning winter lantern trails. The activities ended with a lunch and talk from Kew Director of Science, Alex Antonelli on biodiversity.

This was just from a class assignment where we were supposed to take an environmental portrait. I chose to photograph my uncle in his home but he is dressed in his stage wear, as a contrast to his music career and his home life.
