Abstract:
The Chinese traditional architectural symbols are on behalf of Chinese outstanding traditional culture and inheritance of value.Chinese traditional architectural symbol's refine and expression should be combined with some metropolitan aspects, such as landscape, environmental design, space shape design and architectural single body design.On the analysis of Chinese traditional architectural symbols and the comparison between the modern creating techniques and the characteristics of modern building material,five principles were creatived through the harmonious symbiosis view between modern architecture and Chinese traditional architecture. Meanwhile,taking the design of office area of Xi'an city administrative center as example, it was discussed how to embodying Chinese traditional cultural and regional culture connotation in a deep level in the design methods of architectural components.

AbstractAs a founder member of the now international practice OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture), Zoe Zenghelis was responsible for some of the group's early iconic representations of its buildings. In recent times she has practised as a lone painter creating a plethora of work that is at once abstractly Constructivist yet gorgeously architectural as she mixes form and colour. Architect, teacher and writer Hamed Khosravi describes her artistic trajectory and influences.

Abstract:
This paper critically evaluates indoor overheating of multilevel office buildings in Colombo—a tropical warm humid city. The work questions the building morphological characteristics on thermal performance and indoor climate, thus the levels of Building Energy Indices (BEI) of air conditioned buildings. Pattern of heat stress on buildings due to building characteristics and its relationship to the BEI were identified. A study of 87 multilevel office buildings contributed to identify two critical cases in shallow plan form with similar morphological characteristics such as wall-to-window ratio, aspect ratio, orientation, occupant and equipment density, and façade architecture. A comprehensive thermal performance investigation on these two critical cases quantified the heat stress patterns on their facades and thus indoor thermal environments. Indoor air temperature during office hours in 3 m × 3 m multizones across the depths and lengths in these two buildings showed deviations up to 10.5 °C above the set point temperature level (24 °C). Findings highlight the severity of heat stress on air conditioned indoor environments and the need to address this issue for energy sustainability of urban office buildings in the tropics.

Abstract:
Recent ethnographies among professional architects have given us a novel version of the argument against architectural autonomy: architects work in a condition of entanglement not only with clients and markets, but also with the very objects through which architectural conception takes place. There is a tension between this view and one that surfaces within management scholarship on design competitions. In these studies, the design competition is a moment of architectural work in which architectural autonomy is uniquely pronounced, where the artistic statements of architects achieve a special efficacy. The author investigates the possibility that the design competition enacts a different sort of architectural entanglement than what we see in recent anthropologies. He considers two situations of architects working on design competitions, one in an architectural school in the UK and one at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. He concludes that, in design competitions, discourse itself becomes subject to adjustment and iteration.

Abstract:
Medan City, Indonesia's third largest city with a strategic position as the main gateway of Indonesia in the western region, must prepare itself to develop in facing variousopportunities and challenges as a metropolitan city. Polonia's ex-terminal complex post-relocation Polonia Airport is a region with the high potential to become a strategic trading center in Medan. Taking into consideration the availability of the existing area, the concept of vertical-shelter construction is chosen that can be used as a trading place, office or second residence is known as an apartment. The apartment can be defined as a building consisting of several residential units arranged in stages, and has the same space and facilities, to overcome the problem of density of occupancy rate and limited land in urban areas. Therefore, the concept of "Green Architecture" is considered appropriate to address the environmental issues. Where the concept of green architecture (Green Architecture) is an approach to the building that can minimize the various harmful effects on human health and the environment.

Abstract:
Artykuł to próba interdyscyplinarnego podejścia do analizy projektu dyplomowego „Exodus albo dobrowolni więźniowie architektury”, a przedstawioną interpretację należy traktować jako jedną z możliwych. Praca autorstwa Remmenta L. Koolhaasa, Madelon Vreisendorp, Elii Zenghelisa i Zoe Zenghelis została obroniona w 1972 roku, w Architectural Association School of Architecture w Londynie, a sam projekt stał się katalizatorem powstania biura R. Koolhaasa - Office for Metropolitan Architecture. Można więc mówić o nim jako o dziele młodzieńczym, ale również w pewien sposób nadającym ton przyszłym dokonaniom tego wybitnego architekta. Autorka przedstawia interpretację pracy w kontekście literackim, argumentując wyraźnym ugruntowaniem pracy w filozoficzno-literackim kontekście. Dzięki takiemu podejściu, możliwe staje się uzyskanie głębszego zrozumienia tej lapidarnej i w pewnym sensie hermetycznej pracy Autorka wskazuje na nawiązania do Biblii, „Nowej Atlantydy” F. Bacona i „Nowego Wspaniałego Świata” A. Huxleya. Podkreśla podobieństwa zarówno w samej idei – w poszukiwaniu modelu nowego lepszego świata – jak i w szczegółach konkretnych rozwiązań. Zauważa ponadto oryginalny wkład autorów, którzy z „Exodusu” czynią dzieło twórczo rozwijające dotychczasowe idee. Odczytanie tej pracy według literackiego klucza pozwala na ujrzenie w nim ostrzeżenia, że zdegenerowana metropolia znajduje się na prostej drodze do samounicestwienia, a jej alternatywą jest świat, gdzie ludzie stali się pozbawionymi podstawowych praw niewolnikami.

Abstract:
creative economy becomes one of priorities which is feasible to develop because the strength of creativeeconomy does not depend on the exploitation of natural resources instead of human resources. Art works,architecture, technology innovation, animation, and other creative products are derived from creativeideas of human thoughts. These phenomena have encouraged people’s enthusiasm to create innovationand require support from Creative Economy Agency which is specifically responsible for monitoring andguiding the creative economy.The Central Building of Creative Economy Agency is planned and designedin Surabaya as an effort to provide facilities for developing the Office of Creative Economy Agency.The facilities are designed in such a way so as to support Surabaya as the metropolitan city which isenvironmentally friendly and interesting for business doers particularly start-up business. Designing the buildingarchitecture is carried out through a series of phases beginning from project identification, precedent study,design program, concept, and development. The approach of Out of the Box theme is used as the point ofview which is different from the usual in terms of land order, shape, and space configuration. So as to producebuildings Is carried out by continuing and changing or transforming the office building from the standardized andrigid characters into flexible and relaxed office without altering the culture of behavior inside. It does not leave theusers’ culture or habit including those who want to work autonomously. Keywords: Sustainable Architecture, Creative Economy, Out Of the Box

Abstract:
Steel is an excellent construction material with a high strength-to-weight ratio. As such, it is gaining popularity in metropolitan Asian cities such as Singapore. Many modern office towers are of steel-composite construction – which is lightweight and achieves faster construction cycles compared to concrete construction. Savings on foundation costs may also be significant, especially for tall buildings, due to the lighter weight of steel compared to concrete. However, the lightweight nature of steel will also mean a lower modal mass generally; therefore, vibrations from active sources (e.g. footfall) will to need be considered carefully during the design stage. This article discusses vibration performance and mitigation based on recent experience in Singapore.

Abstract:
Urban sprawl in Poland has increased due to commune autonomy in spatial planning processes. Local authorities often implement planning measures based on their unit’s interests, overlooking long-term problems such as a lack of schools, kindergartens, commercial infrastructure, and traffic congestion. To address these issues, local governments should consider spatial planning and development projects alongside the development of necessary infrastructure. Many spatial planning methods delimit metropolitan areas based on existing built-up areas and urban corridors located along transport routes. This study analyzed the urban development of the Warsaw Metropolitan Area. Based on a study by the Office of Architecture and Spatial Planning of the Capital City of Warsaw, four urbanization zones of the WMA were delimited, focusing on the accessibility of infrastructure and the urban structure of settlements. At the same time, the population density of each village and each town was calculated, and the area of vacant land was counted. The study found 44 instances of locality types, grouped into four classes, representing peri-urban areas.

Abstract:
A produção arquitetônica de Rem Koolhaas e seu Office for Metropolitan Architecture pode ser considerada, sem o risco de se incorrer em exageros, uma das mais influentes do fim do século XX e início do século XXI. Figuras influentes da arquitetura contemporânea passaram por seu escritório e trabalharam sob sua tutela, diversas publicações dedicam edições inteiras às suas obras e seu reconhecimento internacional torna-se incontestável após ser laureado em 2000 com o prêmio Pritzker. Apesar do reconhecimento, o caminho que Koolhaas trilhou junto a seu escritório desde sua fundação, em 1972, até as primeiras obras concluídas e o reconhecimento da crítica especializada, em 1992, é relativamente desconhecido, com a maior parte do material disponível dispersado em periódicos diversos. Percebe-se também que publicações que analisam projetos do OMA tendem a abordar a obra através de seu valor simbólico ou sócio-econômico, com uma tendência a relacionar diretamente a biografia de Koolhaas e seus textos às formas produzidas. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo organizar, sistematizar e categorizar informações sobre as duas primeiras décadas de produção do OMA—1972 a 1992, coincidindo com o período abordado por Koolhaas em seu tomo S, M, L, XL. Através da análise formal dos projetos, com ênfase nos diferentes tipos de estrutura utilizados em projetos ao longo da carreira do OMA, pretende-se elucidar a transformação das estratégias projetuais do escritório e reiterar a presença da tradição moderna nos projetos de Koolhaas.
Rem Koolhaas and his Office for Metropolitan Architecture projects can be considered, without the risk of exaggeration, one of the most influential body of works of the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. Influential professionals in contemporary architecture worked at the office and learned from Koolhaas’s teachings, several magazines dedicate entire issues to his works, and his international recognition became indisputable after he was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 2000. Although Koolhaas and his office were internationally recognized, the path that led to this recognition-from its foundation in 1972 to its first works being built and subsequent success with specialized critics in 1992-is relatively unknown, with most of the available material being spread out among different magazines. It is also noteworthy that the critics who analyze Koolhaas’s work projects tend to approach the work through its symbolic or socio-economic value, with a tendency to directly relate the biography of Koolhaas and his texts to the forms of his designs. This dissertation aims to organize, systematize and categorize information on the first two decades of OMA’s production — from 1972 to 1992, coinciding with the period covered by Koolhaas in his book S, M, L, XL. Through a formal analysis of his works, focusing on the different types of structure utilized in projects throughout the years, this dissertation intends to clarify the office’s transformation of design strategies and reaffirm the continuation of the modern tradition present in Koolhaas’s work.

Collective Home Office is a collaborative practice whose working process tests the propositions it makes through architecture. As a group of friends, willing test subjects, a union of producers, a jury, a family, or an army, CHO explores the frictions and benefits of collectivity in both method and content. The three words that form its name provide a framework through which the practice engages with its context, questioning how the meanings of collective, home and office have been historically shaped. Targeting the agents most implicated in defining the current moment, namely the proto-state corporations, platforms and institutions that constitute Big Tech, CHO pitches a series of unsolicited projects to clients who are radically changing how we live and relate to one another. CHO believes that not only should these agents be held responsible for the drastic social and urban impacts they exert, but that they may become willing partners in designing new ways of living that respond to the social estrangement, imminent technological unemployment, and chronic housing crisis that have resulted from their unregulated conquest of market share. Far from neglecting the notion of collectivity, the tech world has appropriated its surplus value and replaced sharing with a sharing economy and then with a gig economy. The "capitalist collective" fails to recognize its misuse of the word; collectives differ greatly from memberships rosters. CHO believes that collectivity is a shared motivation towards a common goal. Fundamentally ideological, it is accrued over time through social intimacy built on shared experiences, both positive and negative. Spatially, this notion of the collective requires a new organizational strategy. Modeled on both the city and the home, forms of domestic urbanism are fostered by intimate encounters occurring at overlapping scales of interaction, redefining the notion of household. CHO focuses its practice on how this unlikely partnership can be used as an opportunity to rewire the collective with new priorities. Using the home office as a device, CHO emphasizes the increasing importance of care work and social grooming as means of coping with transitional post-work lifestyle no longer based on the binary of home and work.

Abstract:
Some  projects  have  lower  status  than  others.  Designing  an  en-tire custom building is an architectural opportunity while interior projects in existing, generic structures, have a tendency to leave architects disappointed. Instead of designing the whole we must contend with the existing, making a seemingly decorative addition. The architectural potential in these projects is often discarded - I believe  it  shouldn’t  be.    This  thesis  investigates  possibilities  in  office transformations. I combine an existing column-beam struc-ture with a colourful interior of spatial modules and use AR to add a virtual layer to a physical office. A flirt between the permanent, transient and virtual. The project aims to create what Sylvia Lavin describes  as  an  architectural  kiss  in  Kissing  Architecture  from    2008: qualities, tension and surprising moments in the merge be-tween  multiple  systems  of  architecture,  or  other  medium  of  art,  that are not perfectly aligned. The design proposal consist of a 700 m2 office locale in a larg-er  office  /warehouse  complex  in  Ulvsunda  Industrial  area  west  of Stockholm. The original structure consist of pre-cast concrete columns and beams. The  office  is  prone  to  changes  in  technology.  With  the  digital  technology  we  have  available  it  is  no  longer  essential  to  have  a  physical  office:  employees  can  log  on  to  a  digital  work-place  from  any  device  with  a  connection.  This  project  takes  a  stand  for  the  physical  office  and  works  with  the  claim  that  the  office is an important organisational hub. However, today it needs to offer more than rows of desks in a white box. The  project  is  first  and  foremost  a  physical  office  proj-ect. I’ve intended to create a characteristic working environment within an exististing frame using design inspiration from computer game environments. I admire the way games can generate entire worlds  that  support  the  game’s  plot,  mission,  atmosphere  and  gameplay. Can similar physical design strategies create an equal-ly characteristic and adapted environment for an office? In order to  investigate  this  I  started  the  research  period  with  three  case  studies of games from different genres and  gradually translated the qualities found in these to architecture  - permanent, transient and to some extent virtual.

This paper provides an empirical analysis of office rents using data from the 2000 U.S. Census and TWR office building data in the Chicago Metropolitan Statistical Area. The results indicate that rent levels respond to variables measuring labor availability. The relationship between spatial supply of office space and labor availability is also explored. Balanced scenarios are estimated in each unit area, and areas with an under-supply of office space demonstrate development opportunities. Land use regulation is suggested to explain the difference between the model results of the office rent and of the supply of office space.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 63-66).
This thesis recognizes the importance of landscape viewing, especially as a solitary act of contemplation. It suggests the creation of a place from which to gaze upon a vast landscape. It postulates that an observation structure can act as a border between the natural world and the constructed world in order to accentuate their differences and to acknowledge the importance of each. In addition, this thesis shows why Route One next to the Lynn Woods Reservation in Metropolitan Boston is an excellent place for a landscape viewing structure. The resulting design is an observation wall located between Route 1 and the Lynn Woods Reservation in Saugus. It is composed of two parts. The primary structure of the composition is two tall, tapering concrete walls that rise from beneath the ground. The walls curve through the landscape, disappearing and reappearing. Their character is a complement to the contours of the land. The secondary structure is a light wood and steel frame construction. This system supports the act of solitary landscape viewing by providing individual viewing lookouts in conjunction with a gallery space, a small library, and a small kitchen. The design is organized as a series of episodes along a continuous ramp. The interplay of the two construction systems is meant to evoke combined feelings of transience and persistence as well as the contrast that exists between the two types of landscape on either side of the walls.

This thesis, directed toward a wide variety of persons interested in energy efficiency issues with office technology, explores several issues relating to reducing energy use and improving energy efficiency of office equipment. Chapter 2 compares policies and programs in several European countries and the United States that could enhance the energy efficiency of office technology. Different programs are examined, including federal government programs where in some cases target values for power usage of office equipment have already been set. Large customer procurement programs, industry involvement, with emphasis on voluntary labeling programs, and research projects are also examined. Procedures that provide energy consumption measurements of various types of equipment are important for providing information to emerging procurement programs. Two sets of proposed test procedures for testing energy consumption of copiers, fax machines and printers are examined and compared. In Chapter 3, comparisons are made of the electrical power and energy used by computers, displays, copiers, printers and facsimile machines, both while operating and while idle. Technology options for reduced energy and power consumption and improved energy efficiency are examined. As the capability of office equipment has increased, there has been a trend toward increased electrical power requirements and energy consumption while equipment is in active operation. Computer power continues to grow rapidly. These factors will combine to exert an upward pressure for electrical power. However, some emerging technologies are lessening or in some cases reversing this trend, with little or no penalty in performance or production. The overall balance between increased service and efficiency is uncertain. Chapter 3 also examines the embodied energy of paper and office equipment. I compare it to the total energy required to produce a printed page of information, or required over the lifetime of the machine. Many difficulties were encountered in collecting and comparing data on power requirements of various machines. Procedures for testing the energy usage of office equipment are needed to make valid comparisons between machines. This thesis describes in Chapter 4, modifications to the procedure issued by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) to test energy consumption in copiers, to account for energy saver modes and double-sided copying. It also presents new procedures submitted to the ASTM committee for printers and fax machines. A fourth procedure is also presented here, one to test the energy consumption of personal computers. Typically, office equipment is not in use for much of the time it is turned on. Use of power management in office equipment can considerably decrease overall energy consumption. While energy saver modes are more prevalent in copiers, those printers that have incorporated this feature achieve more dramatic power reductions. Fax machines do not seem to utilize this technology at all, even though many have high power consumption when they are idle. How energy saving modes effect the overall energy consumption of machines is largely determined by operating profiles of the machines. The effect of operating profiles on energy usage with imaging equipment has not yet been examined. Methods of determining operating profiles of office equipment are presented in Chapter 5. A comparison is made between the energy use predicted by the ASTM procedures, energy use predicted by the ASTM procedures and actual operating profiles, and the actual energy usage of several copiers and printers. For copiers, the ASTM rated energy use per page was from 10-161 % different from the actual measured energy use per page. The use of the ASTM method with the measured operating profiles of the machine gave a 7-22% difference in energy use per page. For printers, the rated values using the ASTM method gave 61-317 % difference from the actual measured energy use per page, while using actual usage profiles with the ASTM method gave 0-6% difference. This thesis provides information on a variety of subject in the area of energy use and energy efficiency in office technology. The results provide information for emerging programs and provide a strong basis for a variety of further research.

The work environment has experienced tremendous change in the past few decades. The need for global communication, enabled by technology, has been the prime catalyst to transform the traditional demand for office space from a historically inflexible asset into one that includes more flexible solutions. Serviced offices combines office space, technology and support into a global network of fully furnished, staffed and equipped offices and meeting rooms, that can be occupied or vacated on flexible terms, and tailored to the specific business needs of the users. This thesis explores the objectives of these users and the physical characteristics of their requirements for serviced office space. Two case studies further illustrate and verify the analysis. In the pursuit for greater flexibility, serviced office space plays a growing role in the corporate real estate portfolio. This is however an evolution rather than a revolution.

Abstract:
Cornelia Jöchner's essay is focused on the specific longue durée of the city. Very often, art and architecture researchers translate this fundamental condition into chronologies instead of searching for the constitutive 'construction factors' of spatial situations. The combination of chronologies, however, derives from ideal cases of architecture. By contrast, acknowledging - including methodologically - the permanent pressure on the city to change is a far more realistic view. This means that the continued interpretation of the city's topology and buildings against the background of conversions and new buildings, urban planning schemes and repurposing, is analytically assumed from the outset.

Inter-American Development Bank, March 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0005889.

Full text
Abstract:
This first Annual Report reviews the past two years of OVE's work, 2013-2014. It is designed in two parts. Part I reports on OVE's recent evaluation activities and findings, on developments in the Bank's evaluation "architecture" (including management self-evaluations and OVE validations) during the year, and on management's progress in implementing agreed-upon recommendations from previous OVE evaluations. Part II highlights a special topic, seeking to put OVE's work in a broader perspective by bringing new analysis and linking OVE's evaluation work to major themes of importance to development effectiveness. This year's themes are the Bank's core objectives of growth and poverty reduction, as specified in the Agreement for IDB¿s 9th General Capital Increase in 2010. These themes continue to be relevant for the next IDB institutional strategy, which is currently under preparation.

Abstract:
Bendigo, where the traditional owners are the Dja Dja Wurrung people, has capitalised on its European historical roots. Its striking architecture owes much to its Gold Rush past which has also given it a diverse cultural heritage. The creative industries, while not well recognised as such, contribute well to the local economy. The many festivals, museums and library exhibitions attract visitors from the metropolitan centre of Victoria especially. The Bendigo Creative Industries Hub was a local council initiative while the Ulumbarra Theatre is located within the City’s 1860’s Sandhurst Gaol. Many festivals keep the city culturally active and are supported by organisations such as Bendigo Bank. The Bendigo Writers Festival, the Bendigo Queer Film Festival, The Bendigo Invention & Innovation Festival, Groovin the Moo and the Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival are well established within the community. A regional accelerator and Tech School at La Trobe University are touted as models for other regional Victorian cities. The city has a range of high quality design agencies, while the software and digital content sector is growing with embeddeds working in agriculture and information management systems. Employment in Film, TV and Radio and Visual Arts has remained steady in Bendigo for a decade while the Music and Performing Arts sector grew quite well over the same period.

Full text
Abstract:
The Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) is a cornerstone of the non-proliferation architecture for missiles and other uncrewed aerial vehicles. However, geopolitical and technical developments and operational challenges threaten the regime’s effectiveness and create a need for reform in several areas. The MTCR partners should develop a clear strategy for determining if and how to expand MTCR membership. To increase the number of adherents, partners should pursue reinforced outreach and expand and promote the benefits offered. By improving the transparency of its procedures and deliberations, the regime can make them more understandable for non-partners. The partners can also improve the MTCR’s legitimacy by emphasizing that it provides public goods and helps states to meet their international obligations. The regime can also address the challenges of emerging technologies by focusing on technical deliberations and sharing information and good practices. Through all this, the MTCR must ensure its continued functioning in the face of geopolitical tensions and armed conflict between partners. This SIPRI Report is the final output of the SIPRI research project ‘Quo Vadis MTCR: The Missile Technology Control Regime at a Crossroads’, co-funded by the Swiss Federal Department for Foreign for Foreign Affairs and the German Federal Foreign Office. It provides a comprehensive analysis of current challenges to the MTCR and provides extensive policy recommendations to the MTCR partners. A concise summary of the report’s findings and its policy recommendations is also available as a SIPRI Policy Brief, see Brockmann, K., Bromley, M. and Héau, L., Adapting the Missile Technology Control Regime for Current and Future Challenges, SIPRI Policy Brief (SIPRI, Stockholm, 2022).

Journeay, M., P. LeSueur, W. Chow, and C L Wagner. Physical exposure to natural hazards in Canada. Natural Resources Canada/CMSS/Information Management, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4095/330012.

Full text
Abstract:
Natural hazard threats occur in areas of the built environment where buildings, people, and related financial assets are exposed to the physical effects of earth system processes that have a potential to cause damage, injuries, losses, and related socioeconomic disruption. As cities, towns, and villages continue to expand and densify in response to the pressures of urban growth and development, so too do the levels of exposure and susceptibility to natural hazard threat. While our understanding of natural hazard processes has increased significantly over the last few decades, the ability to assess both overall levels of physical exposure and the expected impacts and consequences of future disaster events (i.e., risk) is often limited by access to an equally comprehensive understanding of the built environment and detailed descriptions of who and what are situated in harm's way. This study addresses the current gaps in our understanding of physical exposure to natural hazards by presenting results of a national model that documents characteristics of the built environment for all settled areas in Canada. The model (CanEM) includes a characterization of broad land use patterns that describe the form and function of cities, towns, and villages of varying size and complexity, and the corresponding portfolios of people, buildings and related financial assets that make up the internal structure and composition of these communities at the census dissemination area level. Outputs of the CanEM model are used to carry out a preliminary assessment of exposure and susceptibility to significant natural hazard threats in Canada including earthquake ground shaking; inundation of low-lying areas by floods and tsunami; severe winds associated with hurricanes and tornados; wildland urban interface fire (wildfire); and landslides of various types. Results of our assessment provide important new insights on patterns of development and defining characteristics of the built environment for major metropolitan centres, rural and remote communities in different physiographic regions of Canada, and the effects of ongoing urbanization on escalating disaster risk trends at the community level. Profiles of physical exposure and hazard susceptibility described in this report are accompanied by open-source datasets that can be used to inform local and/or regional assessments of disaster risk, community planning and emergency management activities for all areas in Canada. Study outputs contribute to broader policy goals and objectives of the International Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2015-2030; Un General Assembly, 2015) and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR 2015-2030; United Nations Office for Disaster Reduction [UNDRR], 2015), of which Canada is a contributing member. These include a more complete understanding of natural hazard risk at all levels of government, and the translation of this knowledge into actionable strategies that are effective in reducing intrinsic vulnerabilities of the built environment and in strengthening the capacity of communities to withstand and recover from future disaster events.

Full text
Abstract:
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB or Bank) has worked hard to increase its capacity to report on results. The importance of this issue is reflected in many of the requirements that stem from the Ninth General Capital Increase (IDB-9) process. The IDB-9 Agreement mandates that the IDB report on the results of its projects through an enhanced Development Effectiveness Framework (DEF). It requires that the Bank revise the Development Effectiveness Matrix (DEM) as a tool for assessing evaluability in projects; define a minimum threshold for the evaluability score; strengthen the role of the Operations Policy Committee (OPC) to ensure minimum evaluability standards; strengthen the tools for project monitoring and results reporting to provide more useful information; and report on results annually in the Development Effectiveness Overview (DEO). The DEO is also supposed to report on the findings of impact evaluations and on the recommendations of evaluations of the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE). Many of these requirements have been implemented, and most of those not yet implemented are expected to be finalized soon. Though it is still early in the process, the effectiveness of implementation of the DEF to date appears positive, with some challenges remaining. The DEM for sovereign-guaranteed (SG) projects has been effectively implemented, while the DEM for non-sovereign-guaranteed (NSG) projects is still a work in progress. The focus of OPC meetings on evaluability has increased, though evaluability issues in NSG operations were not identified. The Progress Monitoring Report (PMR) for SG projects has been implemented and is being revised to address some of the challenges it still faces. One significant issue is the lack of integration across these various tools, which appears to limit the usefulness of the PMR system. Finally, the new Project Completion Report (PCR) has not yet been launched but is under preparation. It is critical that it be launched soon, as it is a key part of the Bank's results architecture for SG projects. The DEO is not yet fulfilling its mandate to report on the Bank's overall development results. The DEOs to date have been effective primarily in highlighting and discussing selective areas of Bank activity. Some of the weaknesses of the DEO result from the incomplete implementation of the DEF, including the absence of reliable PCRs and the failure of the NSG DEM to measure evaluability. In addition, the DEO does not explain the reasons for selecting the cases presented and discussed in the analysis of the Bank¿s priority sectors, and the impact evaluations promised are not followed up in later editions. Finally the DEO has not to date had an analysis of the economic rates of return of projects approved in the year of reference or a discussion of OVE recommendations, though the latter is expected in 2013. Moving forward, the Bank should complete the implementation of the DEF and continue to refine the tools that are already in place. To make the most of these tools, it is important to ensure that they are integrated and to promote a culture of planning for results and a willingness to report on problems and failures as well as successes. The DEO should seek to focus on lessons learned from both success and failure and to serve more as a tool for accountability.

Report on the Evaluability of Bank Country Strategies. Inter-American Development Bank, September 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0010487.

Full text
Abstract:
This is a report (RE-309) of the Office of Evaluation and Oversight's main findings regarding the office's two years process of review of Bank Country Strategies. The report is organized in four chapters. The first chapter describes the proposed architecture of country strategies, as they are laid out in Management's Country Paper Guidelines. The second chapter outlines the methods used to analyze the country strategies reviewed. The third chapter presents and discusses results. The last chapter summarizes findings and presents recommendations. OVE's contribution to the assessment of the effectiveness of the new guidelines has been centered on the issue of evaluability, which is a measure of how well a proposed intervention (strategy or project) initially sets out criteria and metrics to be used in its subsequent evaluation.
