Type and Elementary Structure: The Anthropological Turn

Jolanda Devalle

As Vidler suggests, the Third Typology’s radical proposition was to identify the nature of architectural elements as neither scientific nor technical but essentially architectural. For Martí Arís, this ‘essence’ of architecture is rooted in form-making, th ...

Nature-Inspired Stalactite Nanopores for Biosensing and Energy Harvesting

Aleksandra Radenovic, Mukeshchand Thakur, Andrey Chernev, Vasily Artemov, Lucie Navratilova, Nianduo Cai, Yunfei Teng, Tzu-Heng Chen

Nature provides a wide range of self-assembled structures from the nanoscale to the macroscale. Under the right thermodynamic conditions and with the appropriate material supply, structures like stalactites, icicles, and corals can grow. However, the natur ...

Ecosystem Scenarios as Environmental Futures - Implications for Participatory Framework Designs Integrating Social Capital Formation and Natural Capital Preservation

Charlotte Gisèle Weil

In integrated ecosystem assessment projects, scenarios provide alternative images of environmental futures as orientation knowledge for opinion-forming and decision-making. Participatory scenario frameworks provide the methodological basis for ecosystem sc ...

Impromptu conservation: Symbiosis between tangible and intangible. The case of Thua Thiên Hue, Viet Nam

Despite its evolution over the past two centuries, heritage preservation has stayed primarily a top-down retrospective act with a material bias that entails a separation between tangible and intangible, nature and culture, especially within the postcolonia ...

Lisière habitéeUn quartier comme espace de transition entre ville et nature

Malgré l’urgence environnementale que représente l’effondrement de la biodiversité, les villes continuent d’être des espaces difficilement compatibles avec les fonctionnements écologiques naturels. Il devient urgent d’intégrer les notions de conservation e ...

Additives: Their Influence on the Humidity- and Pressure-Induced Crystallization of Amorphous CaCO3

Esther Amstad, Camelia Borca, Huachuan Du, Mathias Steinacher, Alan Böhlen, Clémence Courrégelongue

Nature possesses a unique control over the formation of CaCO3 crystals that imparts fascinating mechanical properties to many CaCO3-based biomaterials. This high level of control is, at least in part, achieved through the use of certain soluble additives t ...

Atomic scale symmetry and polar nanoclusters in the paraelectric phase of ferroelectric materials

Dragan Damjanovic, Emad Oveisi, Sina Hashemi Zadeh, Takuya Hoshina

The nature of the "forbidden" local- and long-range polar order in nominally nonpolar paraelectric phases of ferroelectric materials has been an open question since the discovery of ferroelectricity in oxide perovskites (ABO3). A currently considered model ...

3D Ordering at the Liquid-Solid Polar Interface of Nanowires

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Michele Ceriotti, Cécile Hébert, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Martin George Friedl, Luca Francaviglia, Mahdi Zamani, Nicolas Tappy, Sara Marti Sanchez, Giulio Imbalzano, Lea Ghisalberti

The nature of the liquid-solid interface determines the characteristics of a variety of physical phenomena, including catalysis, electrochemistry, lubrication, and crystal growth. Most of the established models for crystal growth are based on macroscopic t ...

Water: its influence on the formation and crystallization of amorphous calcium carbonate

Huachuan Du

Nature produces CaCO3-based materials that display fascinating mechanical properties. These properties are a result of the exquisite control over the formation of CaCO3 crystals that nature possesses. Such a high level of control is likely achieved, at lea ...
