Poverty and Architecture: The Fuggerei as an Early Example of Affordable Housing

As Rafael Moneo asserted in his seminal article “On Typology,” the emergence of a new type can be considered a tangible signifier of changed architectural and historical circumstances, new modes of production, or social attitudes towards specific subjectiv ...

Escaping limit cycles: Global convergence for constrained nonconvex-nonconcave minimax problems

Volkan Cevher, Thomas Michaelsen Pethick

This paper introduces a new extragradient-type algorithm for a class of nonconvex-nonconcave minimax problems. It is well-known that finding a local solution for general minimax problems is computationally intractable. This observation has recently motivat ...

Type-preserving compilation of (most of) FGJ into DOT

Guillaume André Fradji Martres

The Dependent Object Type (DOT) calculus was designed to put Scala on a sound basis, but while DOT relies on structural subtyping, Scala is a fundamentally class-based language. This impedance mismatch means that a proof of DOT soundness by itself is not e ...

Low-rank tensor methods for large Markov chains and forward feature selection methods

Francisco Santos Paredes Quartin de Macedo

In the first part of this thesis, we present and compare several approaches for the determination of the steady-state of large-scale Markov chains with an underlying low-rank tensor structure. Such structure is, in our context of interest, associated with ...

Standardization proposal of soft tissue artefact description for data sharing in human motion measurements

Kamiar Aminian, Arnaud Barré

Soft tissue artefact (STA) represents one of the main obstacles for obtaining accurate and reliable skeletal kinematics from motion capture. Many studies have addressed this issue, yet there is no consensus on the best available bone pose estimator and the ...

Kleinwohnung vs Existenzminimum. Social housing types from inter-war years

Alessandro Porotto

The interwar period was particularly crucial for urban policies in Europe because it was characterized by an intense architectural and programmatic debate concerning the form of the city and the production of social housing. Of the European experiences Das ...

Multi-criteria analysis for the integrated performance assessment of complex fenestration systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Chantal Basurto Dávila

Complex fenestration systems (CFS) designed to collect and redirect daylight from the sky-vault are generally placed on the upper part of a window in order to improve the distribution of indoor daylight. Due to their additional function as solar protection ...
