Social Roots of Academc (Un)Freedom
The current war between Russia and Ukraine has raised the question of the possibility of resistance from the academic community. The reduction of academic freedoms in Russia and Belarus in the 21st century is also related to the general social and politica ...
2022Houses take on housing blocks. Marshall Plan’s cooperative housing for ‘free labor'
This presentation argues that strategical activity and discourse of the Marshall Plan indoctrinated ‘democracy, cooperation and freedom’ and instrumentalized this discourse in union-founded workers’ housing cooperatives as a means of setting the bottom-up ...
2022Pedestrian typologies - a sociological look on urban walkways
Vincent Kaufmann, Renate Albrecher
Representations of the pedestrian as a sole and healthy individual do not correspond to the reality and diversity of walking practices. The majority of urban pedestrians has to deal with constraints to their degrees of freedom in walking. We propose a typo ...
2022Mechanical Characterization of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures: Experimental studies and macro modeling technique
Spurred by the recent advancements in Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Integral Mechanical Attachment (IMA) technique has been resurrected. Using IMAs, connections between timber elements are established through their form, instead of using additional connecto ...
EPFL2020Seismic response of RC buildings subjected to fling-step in the near-fault region
Pierino Lestuzzi, Amin Karbassi
Fling-step and forward directivity are the major consequences of near-fault ground motions as they can impose unexpected seismic demands on structures located in the vicinity of the fault. The pernicious effect of forward directivity on the seismic behavio ...
2019Image Transmission Through Multimode Fibers
Multimode fibers with a diameter of 100 mu m can support more than 100,000 modes. It is possible to use these degrees of freedom to transmit images with the comparable number of degrees of freedom. ...
IEEE2018The Ends of The Internet
The Ends of the Internet is an investigation into all the reasons why the Internet, which has been with us for over thirty years, is now on the verge of disappearing. Originally conceived as a space of freedom, the Internet has become the world’s largest p ...
Institute of Network Cultures2016Towards biomimetic behavior of an active deployable tensegrity structure
Tensegrity structures have non-conventional structural properties since they require self-stress in order to be stable. When a tensegrity structure integrates sensors, actuators, (structural members able to change their length) and a control system, deploy ...
EPFL2016Transforming architectures inspired by origami
Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis
Paper folding is found across cultures for both aesthetic and functional purposes, with its most widely recognized exponent being the ancient art form of origami. More recently, there has been an upsurge of interest for translating origami designs into mat ...
2015Using Singularities of Parallel Manipulators to Enhance the Rigid-Body Replacement Design Method of Compliant Mechanisms
The rigid-body replacement method is often used when designing a compliant mechanism. The stiffness of the compliant mechanism, one of its main properties, is then highly dependent on the initial choice of a rigid-body architecture. In this paper, we propo ...
