A multi-criteria approach to compare urban renewal scenarios for an existing neighborhood. Case study in Lausanne (Switzerland)
The post-industrial European city is characterized by dispersed urbanization, resulting in increased travel, substantial use of land, social disparities and costs that are unsustainable in the long term. Consequently, most European countries have set the g ...

2013Modelling the Urban Microclimate and its Influence on Building Energy Demands of an Urban Neighbourhood
In the past decades the portion of the population living in urban areas has continuously increased. Due to the high building density, the microclimate in urban areas changed significantly compared to rural areas. The temperatures measured in urban areas ar ...
EPFL Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory (LESO-PB)2013A Pedestrian Destination-Chain Choice Model from Bayesian Estimation of Pedestrian Activities using Sensors Data
Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Antonin Danalet
Pedestrian modeling is emerging as a tool for designing new infrastructures and optimizing the use of current ones. Given sensor traces, we are interested in developing a dynamic model that can predict the destination chain of an individual in pedestrian f ...
2013The effect of variability of urban systems characteristics in the network capacity
Nikolaos Geroliminis, Burak Boyaci
Recent experimental analysis has shown that some types of urban networks exhibit a low scatter reproducible relationship between average network flow and density, known as the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD). It has also been shown that heterogeneity ...
Elsevier2012Energy potential and interactive design in the urban context
Despite the numerous existing design tools developed to support practitioners achieve energy performing buildings, practical use of those tools remains limited, in particular due to their restricted integration into the design process. This project is moti ...
2012Le vide
Today the question of how to work in the continuous contemporary urban landscape, is a big concern for urban development professionals. Still marked by the modern obsession to define the building forms, a vision influenced by the functionalist movement of ...
