The concept of New Brutalism has been the victim of a series of misunderstandings, myths and aporias.
The initial intentions, devoid of any principle or dogma, have passed from hand to hand. The original definitionâif only one can be identifiedâhas be ...
Design of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures outlines a new design methodology for digitally fabricated spatial timber plate structures, presented with examples from recent construction projects. It proposes an innovative and sustainable design me ...

A travers une revue de la littérature, ainsi que 32 études de cas et des entretiens avec des praticiens, ce recueil: › synthétise les principes fondamentaux des deux approches; › documente et diffuse les retours d’expériences et les bonnes pratiques; › app ...
The construction industry’s contribution to the deterioration of Earth’s ecosystem is huge. 11% of all anthropic greenhouse gas emissions worldwide are due to the construction, demolition, and transformation of buildings and infrastructure. Construction an ...
The fundamental goal of modern high-performance buildings is to achieve low environmental carbon footprint while securing indoor conditions that promote human health and well-being. Current procedures for indoor environmental quality (IEQ) assessment are o ...
Many historical centres in Europe, including the city centre of Zagreb, feature masonry building aggregates, which developed as the building layout of the city was densified. Adjacent buildings in aggregates often share a structural wall and the building t ...
We provide an introduction to Gaussian process regression (GPR) machinelearning methods in computational materials science and chemistry. The focus of the present review is on the regression of atomistic properties: in particular, on the construction of in ...
This paper presents results from 21 large-scale experiments on steel columns that examined their collapse behavior as related to steel moment resisting frames (MRFs). The test specimens included wide-flange and square hollow structural shapes (HSS) and wer ...
In order to evaluate the seismic vulnerability at large scale, it is necessary to gain awareness of the soil properties, types of materials used in the construction of buildings during different periods, the construction standards of each period, different ...
The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of g ...
