The concept of sustainable development applied to built environment involves finding a long-term balance between environmental, socio-cultural and economic objectives. From an operational perspective, the challenge is to imagine concrete actions that foste ...
At the centre of the research is the preservation of the countryside which is highlighted and studied through an architectural approach which focuses on cabins in the high mountains. The projects must reflect upon territorial, global and sustainable aspect ...
Water is rarely considered to be a crucial aspect in sustainable housing. In fact, water sustainability in eco-districts and in ecological architecture is frequently limited to recycling and reuse solutions. Why less water? What could explain the choice of ...
An aggregated 36 Gb/s low power 4-lanes mixed NRZ/multi-tone transceiver for multi-drop bus (MDB) memory interfaces is designed and fabricated in 40nm CMOS technology. The proposed architecture achieves 1 pJ/bit power efficiency in the entire link (TX + RX ...
In the last three years there has been a proliferation of regional building rating systems across the Middle East. Most those emerging rating systems and labels imitate the British and American rating systems BREEAM and LEED that emerge from an impact redu ...
Countries in the Global South are producing the most important educational needs of the 21st century. Fast-growing cities can provide the most striking examples of these current tendencies. Just over a decade after the start of the new millennium, the need ...
Enabling efficient nonreciprocal acoustic devices is challenging, yet very desirable for a variety of applications, including acoustic imaging, underwater communications, energy concentration and harvesting, signal processing,and noise control. We discuss ...
Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSNs) are miniaturized and ultra-low-power devices, able to acquire and wirelessly trans- mit biosignals such as electrocardiograms (ECG) for extended periods of times and with little discomfort for subjects [1]. Energy efficie ...
Based on aspects arising from architectural work and academic teaching, this essay addresses the wide-ranging issues involved with innovatively integrating sustainability into architecture. It presents six theoretical questions concerning the underlying pr ...
