Across many generations, including the digitally naïve and savvy, digital technologies introduce something other to the design process. This other quality ranges from inaccessibility to facile but opaque production of complexity, yet in all cases has obscu ...
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) break with traditional systems such as desktop computers and servers, in various ways: (1) they are instrumented in order to interact with physical environments; (2) they are interconnected to allow interaction between people a ...
Today, energy is the driver of the modern society, allowing for transforming raw materials and resources into ``useful'' products and services. Concerns on climate change and resources scarcity together with the increasing importance put on the environment ...
Despite the numerous existing design tools developed to support practitioners achieve energy performing buildings, practical use of those tools remains limited, in particular due to their restricted integration into the design process. This project is moti ...
This talk provides an overview of the current research projects at LIPID and the necessity for performance-integrated design in today’s urge for energy-efficient, human-responsive living spaces. Within the overall framework of promoting linkages between th ...
Wireless sensor networks (WNSs) are gradually evolving from a promising technology to a well-established reality in a large set of different domains. In order to fulfill the requirements of the specific scenario, a WSN must provide the right tradeoffs betw ...
Tensegrity structures are composed of cables and struts in a prestressed self-equilibrium. Although tensegrity first appeared in the 1950s, it is seldom used in civil engineering. This paper focuses on the design aspects of a deployable tensegrity-hollow-r ...
On April 2010, the first complete draft of new Model Code 2010 was published. It introduced a number of innovative design approaches, some of them with respect to shear and punching shear. Contrary to Model Code 90 (or some national and international codes ...
Design correctness and performance are major issues which are usually considered separately, and with different emphasis, by traditional system design flows. In this paper we show that one can meaningfully connect and benefit from the advantages of two des ...
Designing spaces that are able to balance human comfort, energy-efficiency and well-being in a given climate is a real challenge, yet a problem faced every day by architects and building designers. Within the overall framework of promoting linkages between ...
