Masdar City: ‘City of Possibilities’ by Griffiths, S

“…Partly due to the global financial crisis of 2008 and partly due to experience gained from continued assessments of the original concept, Masdar has scaled back the initial ambitions for the city’s carbon and waste targets, as well as the development approach and time-line for the entire city. This, however, may ultimately prove to be the best outcome for Masdar City if it is truly to become a model for sustainable cities of the future.…”

Recognising rotationally symmetric surfaces from their outlines by Forsyth, DA, Mundy, JL, Zisserman, A, Rothwell, CA

“…The results additionally yield techniques for identifying the line in the image plane corresponding to the axis of a rotationally symmetric surface, and for telling whether a surface is rotationally symmetric or not from its outline alone.…”
