We present a refined chosen-prefix collision construction for MD5 that allowed creation of a rogue Certification Authority (CA) certificate, based on a collision with a regular end-user website certificate provided by a commercial CA. Compared to the previ ...
Practical and material orientated academic research has become increasingly important for architectural practice, due to several factors. First, it contributes to contemporary concepts in architecture and improves their implementation. Today’s architects a ...
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 ...
Many researchers have the goal of improving buildings daylight availability in order to decrease the HVAC energy intake. Indeed by achieving/identifying sustainable urban forms and their design concepts, the benefits of the solar radiation can be of threef ...
The Steel Slit Panel Frame system is a new promising lateral force resisting system intended for zones of high seismicity. Its main component is the Steel Slit Panel (SSP). An SSP is a steel shear wall with dimensions of roughly 5ft wide and 11.5ft tall. T ...
This paper outlines some of our recent research and built projects in the combined use of Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) programming and Computer Aided Architectural Manufacturing (CAAM). The results of our work are ‘proof of concept’ built-pro ...

Within the last years, architectural design has shown great interest in the design of new and complex geometries, commonly known as 'free-form' architecture. The lack of constructive feasibility of the designed architectural objects led us to consider disc ...
Essay outlining the working methodology of the laboratoire de la production d'architecture, and discussing the ability of the architect to influence the built fabric of urbanity beyond the scope of a building project. The article is a result of teaching an ...
Within the European research project HOPE, 64 office buildings were audited regarding in-door environment quality and building characteristics. Of those buildings, two groups are se-lected: 21 buildings with low prevalence of the sick building syndrome, an ...
An experimental program has been carried out to investigate the structural behavior of adhesively bonded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich girders. The girders, conceivable for main spans up to 20 m, are composed of translucent double sandwich ...
