GEORGE BUGLIARELLO
1927-2011

George Bugliarello’s range of interests and expertise transcended many disciplines, including civil engineering, bio-medical engineering, urban development, science policy, water resources and environmental science. His vision of the role of science, innovation and education, coupled with a passion for turning his vision into reality, is reflected in today’s urban communities, forged through academic and industry interactions in ways that spur economic growth and societal well-being, while respecting the quality of human life and the environment.

THE BIOSOMA PARADIGM

In emphasizing the urgent need for a clear strategy for urban sustainability, Dr. Bugliarello recommended a new paradigm based on the biosoma—the indissoluble interaction of biology, society and machines, along with the complementary system of systems paradigm. The biosoma-environmental paradigm views the city as a complex, adaptive system where the three biosoma entities interact with the environment. Synergies and trade-offs among these entities and their interaction with sub-components such as materials, energy, information and systems, are at the heart of addressing issues of urban sustainability.

NYU-Poly is an integral part of NYU Abu Dhabi, NYU Shanghai and the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) in downtown Brooklyn. For more information, visit www.poly.edu.

NYU-POLY DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL AND URBAN ENGINEERING

The ABET-accredited Department of Civil and Urban Engineering at NYU-Poly offers BS, MS, and PhD degrees in civil engineering. With a distinguished history of research in urban infrastructure engineering and planning as well as environmental sustainability, the department is dedicated to advancing the body of knowledge and professional practice of civil and urban engineering to meet the imminent and ever-changing challenges of the future. Offering students the benefits of the most highly regarded faculty, the department continues to utilize the real-world urban laboratory of New York City and produce leaders prepared to meet the needs of an increasingly complex world with breakthrough advances in the field. This symposium is NYU-Poly’s Department of Civil and Urban Engineering’s tribute to George Bugliarello.

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY

New York University, which was established in 1831, is one of the largest and most prestigious private research universities in the U.S. It has more international students than any other U.S. college or university. Through its numerous schools and colleges, NYU conducts research and provides education in the arts and sciences, law, medicine, dentistry, education, nursing, business, social work, the cinematic and performing arts, public administration and policy, and continuing studies, among other areas.

METROTECH CENTER

George Bugliarello’s vision was the creative force behind the development of MetroTech, the 16-acre urban university-industry park in downtown Brooklyn. The creation of Metro- Tech heralded the gentrification of the area and created over 20,000 jobs. The center attracted employers in major industries such as banking, utilities, securities, the New York City Fire Department, and large hotel chains such as the Marriott and Sheraton. Its success has proven to be a primary case study in university, corporate, government, and private developer cooperation.

CUSP

In April 2012, New York City announced the launch of the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), an applied science research institute created by NYU and Polytechnic Institute of NYU, with a consortium of world- class universities and the foremost international tech companies to address the needs of cities. Generating an entirely new sector in New York City’s economy and placing it at the center of a global stage in this field, CUSP will be located in MetroTech in a city- owned building steps from NYU-Poly.
