Do It Yourself: From Individual Sovereignty to Civic Design

With the Usonian Automatic construction system, Frank Lloyd Wright provided citizens of Usonia—Wright’s preferred term for a culturally advanced North America—with the means of “doing it themselves,” of building their own homes and communities. Though desi ...

Constraint-Driven Design with Combinatorial Equilibrium Modelling

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Pierluigi D'Acunto

This paper presents an extension to the Combinatorial Equilibrium Modelling (CEM) design framework. So far, CEM gives the possibility to generate and explore multiple spatial equilibrium solutions in the early conceptual design phase. In addition to the fo ...

A Proposition for a Design Method of Service Systems

Blagovesta Hristova Kostova

This research is in the domain of service science and proposes a method for designing service systems. We consider three levels of design – individual, organizational, and implementation. The proposed design method links these three levels by explicit inpu ...

A Return on Our Experience of Modeling a Service-oriented Organization in a Service Cartography

Alain Wegmann, Gorica Tapandjieva Sekulovska, Giorgio Anastopoulos

We present a longitudinal project using action design research, which is a four-year collaboration between two EPFL entities: The research Laboratory for Systemic Modeling (LAMS) and EPFL’s IT department, called the VPSI. During that time the VPSI was goin ...

Toward design optimization of a Pelton turbine runner

François Avellan, Loïc Andolfatto, Christian Vessaz, Christophe Tournier

The objective of the present paper is to propose a strategy to optimize the performance of a Pelton runner based on a parametric model of the bucket geometry, massive particle based numerical simulations and advanced optimization strategies to reduce the d ...

Introducing the Advanced Active Façade: Towards Near-Zero Buildings Incorporating Building Integrated Photovoltaics Expressive Issues

Sophie Lufkin, Angela Clua Longas

Building Integrated Photovoltaics’ (BIPV) performance is improving rapidly. However, their potential is diminished because of several barriers. Due to its limited expressive quality, architects tend to avoid integrating BIPV in building design, more partic ...
