This article presents a model for product design in an interdisciplinary way with participation of the university, private company and the user. The proposal was implemented in the design of an assistive product for mobility according to the ISO9999: 2007 ...
This thesis studies the notion of responsiveness in architectural design. It tries to make a framework for understanding the act of response in architectural body. Focusing on Light as a contextual force, it studies the way light affects the built environm ...
This chapter discusses different key issues related to the actual design and implementation of parasitic antenna arrays for the novel beamspace-MIMO concept. The proposed design strategies are illustrated by a concrete operational prototype. The chapter al ...
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a well-established methodology that has been extensively used for the environmental evaluation of emerging technologies in the field of renewable energy conversion systems. In order to identify effective solutions for impact ...
The work addresses research by design as a subject and a method. It explores theorizations, experimentations, and verifications, all of them engaged in writing, drawing and building. It is discovery-led, and starts from a blurry "state of the arts". It osc ...
Most architectural modelling software provides the user with geometric freedom in absence of performance, while most engineering software mandates pre-determined forms before it can perform any numerical analysis. This trial-and-error process is not only t ...
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 ...
The Battle of the Water Networks II (BWN-II) is the latest of a series of competitions related to the design and operation of water distribution systems (WDSs) undertaken within the Water Distribution Systems Analysis (WDSA) Symposium series. The BWN-II pr ...
More and more refined methods are currently being developed that aim to inform designers about daylighting management in a comprehensive way, many of which try to investigate annual daylighting potential through climate-based modeling. In this paper, we pr ...
This paper describes the progress of the DEMO design and R&D activities in Europe. The focus is on a systems engineering and design integration approach, which is recognized to be essential from an early stage to identify and address the engineering and op ...
