Revitalisation de la Cité-Nouvelle d’Onex-Lancy

La Cité-Nouvelle d’Onex-Lancy a été bâtie pour pallier la pénurie de logement qui a frappé le canton de Genève dans les années 1960. En l’analysant, on peut relever aujourd’hui de nombreux problèmes qui vont de la dimension urbaine à l’espace habitable. Le ...

Effects of urban compactness on solar energy potential

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Dan Assouline, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Govinda Upadhyay

Compactness is a major urban form parameter that affects the accessibility of solar energy in the built environment. Here we explore the relation between various compactness indicators and solar potential in the 16 neighbourhoods (11,418 buildings) constit ...

Identification and characterization of microplastics in the Lake Geneva environment

Charlotte Thérèse Bondaz

This project is set in a context of raising awareness concerning the accumulation of plastics in oceans. As opposed to the marine environment, there is a real gap of knowledge on microplastics pollution in freshwaters. In this project, the Lake Geneva envi ...

Long-lasting visual integration of form, motion, and color as revealed by visual masking

Michael Herzog

When two similar visual stimuli are presented in rapid succession at the same location, they fuse. For example, a red and a green disk are perceived as one single yellow disk. Likewise, verniers with opposite offset directions are perceived as one vernier ...

Le mur à haute performance thermique

Thierry Voellinger

The scope of this research includes the development of composite concrete façade elements that are thin, loadbearing and of high thermal performance. The research applies to manufactured precast concrete elements and focuses on improving their structure in ...

Gestalt determines contextual modulation

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim, Mauro Manassi

Performance deteriorates when a target is flanked by contextual elements. For example, vernier thresholds increase when the vernier is flanked by lines. But when the lines are made part of a “good Gestalt”, like a rectangle, deterioration is reduced. Our e ...

La Cité-Nouvelle d'Onex-Lancy, requalification des espaces publics (Genève, GE)

Isabelle Dorsaz

La Cité-Nouvelle d'Onex-Lancy fait partie de l'héritage de la modernité à Genève. Construite dès le début des années soixante, elle répondait de manière efficace à un besoin urgent de logements en très grand nombre. Implantée sur des terrains agricoles en ...

How TMS and stimulus off/on signals modulate feature integration

Michael Herzog, Frank Scharnowski, Johannes Rüter

When a right offset vernier is immediately followed by a left offset vernier (or vice versa), only one vernier is perceived. Feature fusion has occurred. In feature fusion, observers cannot resolve the two verniers individually. Subjects perform at chance ...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of early visual but not frontal cortices reveals a feature memory of substantial duration

Michael Herzog, Frank Scharnowski, Johannes Rüter, Nicole Lironi

Objective: How the brain achieves integration of temporally dispersed information is one of the enigmas in the neurosciences. By combining feature fusion with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we show that individual visual features are stored for s ...

Using the hedonic approach to value natural land uses in an urban area: An application to Geneva and Zurich

Philippe Thalmann, Andrea Baranzini, Caroline Schaerer

We apply the hedonic model to the rental markets of the Geneva and Zurich urban areas, Switzerland, in order to assess the value of natural land uses and land use diversity. In order to construct variables to quantify land uses and patterns in the neighbou ...
