Celebrating Contrast and Daylight Variability in Contemporary Architectural Design: A Typological Approach

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

The perceptual performance of architecture can be greatly altered by the ephemeral quality of daylight. Unlike artificial light sources, which can be adjusted to meet performance criteria regardless of geographic location and time of day, daylight is a var ...

Process Bifurcation and the Digital Chain in Architecture

Russell Alexander Loveridge

This thesis investigates the impact of digital technology on the methods of design and production in architecture. Through research of history, theory, technology, and methods, the work determines whether the current use of new technologies should be consi ...

Architectural integration and design of solar thermal systems

Maria Cristina Munari Probst

Although mature technologies at competitive prices are largely available, solar thermal is not yet playing the important role it deserves in the reduction of buildings fossil energy consumption. The generally low architectural quality characterizing existi ...

EPFL2009

Architectural integration is a major issue in the development and spreading of solar thermal technologies. Yet the architectural quality of most existing building integrated solar thermal systems (BIST) is quite poor, which often discourages potential new ...
