John A. Paulson Center

The New York University Paulson Center 181 Mercer dormitory is a state-of-the-art residence hall located in the heart of Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. The building was designed by COOKFOX architects and completed in 2020.

The Paulson 181 Mercer dormitory is a 23-story building that houses more than 700 students in a mix of singles, doubles, triples, and quads. The building features a number of amenities designed to enhance the student living experience, including a fitness center, music practice rooms, a game room, and a rooftop terrace with stunning views of the city.

One of the most unique features of the Paulson 181 Mercer dormitory is its focus on sustainability and green design. The building is expected to achieve LEED Gold certification, which recognizes buildings that are designed and constructed to minimize their environmental impact. Some of the sustainable features of the building include a green roof, rainwater harvesting system, and energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems.

The $1.2 billion John A. Paulson Center — which opened in January 2023 — provides all of the occupancy classes for the “university without a quad”.

*In 2005, Paulson began investing heavily in credit default swaps, which are essentially insurance contracts that pay out if a particular debt instrument defaults. He used these swaps to bet against the subprime mortgage market, which he believed was overvalued and ripe for collapse. When the housing market crashed in 2008, Paulson’s bets paid off in a big way, earning him billions of dollars in profits.

Paulson has also been involved in other successful trades, including investments in gold and banking stocks. However, his bet against the subprime mortgage market remains his most famous and lucrative trade.

Blockchain Application for Disaster Management

Natural phenomena such as floods, storms, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides have affected our planet in an unpredictable way. However, these phenomena are merely classified as a hazard when they may affect people and the things they value (Cutter, 2005). The involvement of many agencies and the public is important in planning for disaster relief, in rescuing victims, and in managing the event. A lot of individuals are deprived of help due to poor coordination, late assistance and uneven distribution of food, water, medical assistance, clothes, and vehicles. The need for a proper disaster relief plan is crucial to overcome these challenges. On the other hand, identity theft is one of the most bizarre and rapidly growing crimes present in the world. Identity thieves are active more than ever as the e-commerce trading keeps on growing. Earlier the thieves used to buy pieces and parts of someone’s personal identification information but now they could have hold of everything. Similarly there has been an increase in illegal immigration, smuggling of weapons and terrorist activities noticed in last 2 decades in the United States. This study focuses on the current condition of disaster management, identity theft, border security and controlling the misuse of weapon of mass destruction. It proposes the use of advanced technological methods like Blockchain to overcome the loss of time and cost to provide a quick response to the victims and to provide secure ways to store personal identification information and better national security. The study helps to understand how better disaster management and national security can be achieved by using various use cases and implementation models. By implementing these models, the border security can be improved and proper handling of weapons of mass destruction can also take place.

Natural Light & Architecture

FYI: Consultation on IES RP-46 Recommended Practice: Supporting the Physiological and Behavioral Effects of Lighting in Interior Daytime Environments closes April 10: 

Designing Lighting for People and Buildings

Advantages of natural light in educational occupancies:

  1. Improved academic performance: Studies have shown that students exposed to natural light perform better academically compared to those in classrooms with artificial lighting.
  2. Energy efficiency: Natural light can help to reduce energy consumption and costs associated with artificial lighting.
  3. Positive impact on health and well-being: Exposure to natural light has been linked to improved mood, reduced stress levels, and better sleep quality.
  4. Reduced absenteeism: Natural light has been shown to reduce absenteeism in schools, which can have a positive impact on student learning outcomes.

Disadvantages of natural light in educational occupancies:

  1. Glare and heat gain: Natural light can create glare and heat gain, which can be uncomfortable and distracting for students and teachers.
  2. Inconsistent lighting levels: Natural light levels can vary throughout the day and seasonally, which can make it difficult to maintain consistent lighting levels in a classroom.
  3. Limited control: Unlike artificial lighting, natural light cannot be easily controlled or adjusted to meet the needs of a specific classroom.
  4. Exposure to harmful UV rays: Prolonged exposure to natural light can also lead to harmful UV exposure, which can increase the risk of skin cancer and other health problems.

Overall, natural light has many advantages in educational occupancies, but it is important to carefully consider the potential disadvantages and to design spaces that optimize the benefits of natural light while minimizing the drawbacks.
