The levels-of-approximation approach in MC 2010: application to punching shear provisions

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

In order to address how new knowledge influences design expressions, design codes have in most cases become significantly more complex over the last decades. However, this tendency is leading to codes that are too complicated for preliminary design but sti ...

Care. Emerging Natures

Pieter Versteegh

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 ...

Design Aspects of a Deployable Tensegrity-Hollow-rope Footbridge

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, René Motro

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 ...

Rigorous Design of Cyber-physical Systems

Joseph Sifakis

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 ...

Entangled Transactions

Christoph Koch, Milos Nikolic

As the world becomes more interdependent and computing grows more collaborative, there is a need for new abstractions and tools to help users work together. We recently introduced entangled queries – a mechanism for information exchange between database qu ...

Human Centered Design for Development

Jeffrey Huang, Hendrik Ole Knoche

This paper describes the challenges faced in ICTD by reviewing the lessons learned from a project geared at improving the livelihood of marginal farmers in India through wireless sensor networks. Insufficient user participation, lack of attention to user n ...

Turning Augmented Reality into a media: Design exploration to build a dedicated visual language

Pascal Fua, Nicolas Henchoz, Vincent Lepetit

This work collects the explorations conducted within the EPFL+ECAL Lab by several designers to interpret the various spheres of action of Augmented Reality in order to derive visual principles. These principles seek to contribute to developing a specific v ...

A Tectonic Approach for Integrating Kinesis with a Building in the Design Process of Interactive Skins

Jeffrey Huang

Today, interactive architecture plays an increasingly important role in urban milieus. However, in terms of design principles and guidelines in the age of digital architecture, the design and construction of interactive skins has been under-explored. A new ...

A daylighting knowledge-base for performance-driven facade design exploration

Marilyne Andersen

Heuristics and simple design guides are important tools for designers who wish to incorporate daylighting into the early design process. This paper describes a simulation-based method for generating simple rules for facade design, based on specific climate ...
