AR2U090 Methodology for Urbanism*Logics of EnquiryIn this exercise, you will need to ‘locate’ yourself inthe hypothetical triangle that composes URBANISM at TU Delft. According to your previous education and aspirations for the future, where would you be? Mark a cross inside the triangle and write your name and country of origin near that cross. Would you add another element to this geometrical form? Is it a polygon? A square? What other categories would you add, if any? Urbanism?

Climate change
Snow Cover and Sea Surface TemperaturesWith an albedo of up to 80 percent or more, snow-covered terrain reflects most of the earth’s incoming solar radiation back into space, cooling the lower atmosphere. When snow cover melts, the albedo drops suddenly to less than about 30 percent, allowing the ground to absorb more solar radiation, heating the earth's surface and lower atmosphere.

All the king’s horsesAnd all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again
I don’t know what you mean by
‘glory’
Of course you don't! _till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument
for you!
But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down
argument'!
When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor
less.
The question is whether you can make words mean so many
different things.
The question is, which is to be master—
that's all!
When I use a word, it means just what I
choose it to mean—neither more nor less.
“Glory”
If I validate my own meanings, if I decide that my words mean what I want them to mean, regardless of what other people think, then I am
always right!
But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down
argument'!
If I have seen further, it is because I was standing on the
shoulders of giants (Sir Isaac Newton)
Knowledge must be articulated and
communicated across communities of practice to be validated, used and integrated
by new knowledge.
