Geometry-Driven Stock-Constrained Truss Design via Equilibrium-Based Structural Models
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Tao Sun
This paper presents a geometry-driven approach to form-finding with reused stock elements. Our proposed workflow uses a K-mean algorithm to cluster stock elements and incorporate their geometrical values early in the form-finding process. A feedback loop i ...
Springer2024Visual complexity of urban streetscapes: human vs computer vision
Understanding visual complexity of urban environments may improve urban design strategies and limit visual pollution due to advertising, road signage, telecommunication systems and machinery. This paper aims at quantifying visual complexity specifically in ...
New York2024SAT-based Exact Modulo Scheduling Mapping for Resource-Constrained CGRAs
David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, José Angel Miranda Calero, Rubén Rodríguez Álvarez, Juan Pablo Sapriza Araujo, Benoît Walter Denkinger
Coarse-Grain Reconfigurable Arrays (CGRAs) represent emerging low-power architectures designed to accelerate Compute-Intensive Loops (CILs). The effectiveness of CGRAs in providing acceleration relies on the quality of mapping: how efficiently the CIL is c ...
2024Researching with values for more ethical decisions
Can social, organisations and disciplinary values guide decisions when thinking about ethical challenges? With this presentation, I describe the ambivalence of decision-making when it comes to being a cause or a valuable resource for acting upon ethics cha ...
2024Biomass screening for syngas production by flash photopyrolysis
Hubert Girault, Mathieu Soutrenon, Wanderson Oliveira Da Silva
A few seconds flash photopyrolysis is used as efficient screening tool for the investigation of selected biomass in producing syngas, hydrogen and biochar. This innovative approach allowed rapid pyrolysis of the biomass, which was followed by a precise gas ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2024A global framework for data-informed bridge examination
Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Philippe Schiltz
Examining the performance of an existing bridge requires information on several aspects, such as design choices, material properties, and ongoing degradation processes. It often happens that some critical information is not available. The traditional appro ...
2024Interactive design with optimum matchmaking of reused structural elements – a software implementation
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jonas Warmuth, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting
Structural systems are a significant contributor to buildings’ embodied carbon and reusing structural elements in new load-bearing applications is one strategy to reduce this impact. However, integrating this approach into existing design workflows without ...
International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS)2023Sustainable Materials: Production Methods and End-of-life Strategies
Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Raymond Gérard Buser, Arpa Ghosh
All three natural polymers of biomass and the monomer platforms derived from them present multiple avenues to develop products from specialty to bulk markets, which could serve as entry points into the industry for bio-based sustainable materials. However, ...
Bern2023Risk of incorrect choices due to uncertainty in BPS evaluations of conceptual-stage neighbourhood-scale building designs
Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal
At the conceptual stage, building performance simulation (BPS) based evaluations are being increasingly used for tasks such as ranking of competing massing design proposals. However, such conceptual stage evaluations suffer from information deficiency in b ...
2023Automated Design Appraisal: Estimating Real Estate Price Growth and Value at Risk Due to Local Development
Financial criteria in architectural design evaluation are limited to cost performance. Here, I introduce a method – Automated Design Appraisal (ADA) – to predict the market price of a generated building design concept within a local urban context. Integrat ...
