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 ...
This paper will present the current state of drainage systems in new and existing SBB-railway tunnels. The fundamental drainage concepts, their limits as well as the LCC will be considered. The problems linked with the water pressure, its quantity and chem ...
The road to a successful introduction of vehicular communications has to pass through the analysis of potential security threats and the design of a robust security architecture able to cope with these threats. In this paper, we undertake this challenge. I ...
This thesis study investigates the architectural potential of digital information, using case studies and prototypes to explore the integration of dynamic information in the architectural environment. Responsive architecture, a design field that has arisen ...
Survival of children born prematurely or with very low birth weight has increased dramatically but the long term developmental outcome remains a concern with many children having deficits in their cognitive capacities, in particular involving executive dom ...
A novel architecture descending from the work of von Neumann, has been developed. This architecture borrows its main principles from living systems. Like living beings, the organisms considered here are able to autonomously develop, maintain their function ...
The emergence of computation in design is an ongoing evolution, rather than a technological revolution. Contemporary digital tools have influenced the image of architecture, as object, as shelter, and as icon – but digital design has yet to change our unde ...
In this paper, we intend to gain an understanding of the interaction of light with microstructures. Measurements of amplitude and phase in the diffracted field close to gratings using a heterodyne scanning probe are presented. Coherent light diffracted by ...
The objective of 1998 World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE'98) was to present the latest advances in the research, design and construction of engineered timber structures. The conference served as an international forum for researchers, designers, ...
