‘Push-button’ or fully automated manufacturing would enable the production of robots with zero intervention from human hands. Realizing this utopia requires a fundamental shift from a sequential (design–materials–manufacturing) to a concurrent design metho ...

We describe here a novel design of a fast high-density robotized fiber positioner system for massive spectroscopic surveys. The fiber positioners are compact, robust, and they can be coordinated, allowing for a high spatial density. Furthermore, the high a ...

This dissertation seeks to bring material experimentation to the forefront of design by associating it with computation and fabrication technologies that challenge the current disciplines of digital fabrication in architecture. The idea of transient materi ...
For more than a decade, Europe has been the wireless continent; today, wireless has almost completely shifted to the U.S. and Asia. This shift has had a profound impact on the electronic, semiconductor, and design ecosystem: long-time leaders have disappea ...
In order to improve user experience and to foster novel ideas, some voices in the HCI community have argued to break fundamental design rules, an approach well known in the art community. In this paper, we use this radical approach to design a playful mobi ...
This dissertation investigates the design of large online courses from the pedagogical perspective of knowledge communities. Much of the learning sciences literature has concerned itself with groups of up to 20-30 students, but in universities, courses of ...
This paper analyses Maillart’s Vessy Bridge from a design point of view using thrust lines. As it has previously been shown that Robert Maillart used graphic statics to design the line and the structural features of his bridges, it proves appropriate to re ...
The teaching of architecture at the School of Architecture and Design at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaiso (the Valparaiso School) has very often been described as ‘very unusual’. One of the most exceptional and most often remarked upon aspe ...
We present a Reduced Basis (RB) method based on Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) for the rapid and reliable evaluation of PDE systems characterized by complex geometrical features. At the current state of the art, this is the first case of coupling between RB a ...
