MICROCLIMATE SIMULATION FOR PRESERVATION In an ancient Roman structure, valuable frescoes are being threatened by variations in temperature and humidity. In the recent past, preservationists might have used potentially damaging physical probes to study the problem and determine solutions. Today, noninvasive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis software is coming to the rescue.

STUDENTS LEARN WITH INTEGRATED BUILDING MODELING Architectural education tends to do better at teaching students the conceptual aspects of design than at preparing them for the realities of design development and construction. About four years ago I began offering a design studio at Tulane University's School of Architecture that asked students to broaden their approach and add issues such as development economics and cost estimating to their architectural design considerations.
