Two design studios were successively taught in two schools of architecture: one at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) and the other at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, based on "A Global Morato ...
Taylor & Francis Inc2024Low-tech methods for the reuse of reinforced concrete structural elements
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Nicole Widmer, Julie Rachel Devènes
Most of existing buildings are made of concrete, new buildings are being built with it and others are demolished when still in good structural condition. This drives increased demands for raw materials, greenhouse gas emissions, and an accumulation of demo ...

2023A Collaborative Workflow to Automate the Design, Analysis, and Construction of Integrally-Attached Timber Plate Structures
Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Pierre Latteur
This paper introduces a computational framework that fosters collaboration between architects, engineers, and contractors by bridging the gap between architectural design, structural analysis, and digital construction. The present research is oriented towa ...
CAADRIA2022Design and temporal issues in Soil Bioengineering structures for the stabilisation of shallow soil movements
Giovanni De Cesare, Massimiliano Schwarz
In the last decades, soil bioengineering has gained considerable popularity worldwide, especially in hillslope, riverbank, and earth embankment stabilisation works. The use of plants as a building material transfers the plant multifunctionality within engi ...
2021Experimental techniques for suspended structures: the construction of Chauderon hanging building in Lausanne (R. Willomet, P. Dumartheray and J. Prouvé, 1970-1974)
The lecture, starting from a synoptic analysis of the European situation and Belgian realizations of suspended buildings in the years 1960 - 1980, will mainly deal with the construction history of the Administrative Buildings of the Place Chauderon in Laus ...
2021Learning from Failures: Reflections on the Role of Project Design and Design Management in the Procurement of Non-Standard Buildings
The opening of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao in 1997 heralded the beginning of an era in world architecture defined by iconic buildings underpinned by mediatic exposure and the belief in the power of design to leverage urban conditions. Today, a conspic ...
2021Hydraulic soil failure due to artesian ground conditions during the construction of a hydro electrical power plant on Sakarya river
The presence of an artesian aquifer lying under the construction site of a hydro-electrical power plant had not been considered in the design project. The foreseen excavation works could not be carried out due to a high risk of hydraulic heave of the excav ...
2020Design of Truss Structures Through Reuse
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Joseph Jean François Desruelle
This paper presents structural optimization techniques to design truss structures that make best use of a given stock of structural components. Still little explored, the reuse of structural components over multiple service lives has the potential to signi ...
2019HOUSE 1 Protostructure: Enhancement of Spatial Imagination and Craftsmanship Between the Digital and the Analogical
Dieter Dietz, Julien Lafontaine Carboni, Agathe Claire Estelle Mignon, Darío Negueruela Del Castillo
Conceived around the concept of protostructure, HOUSE 1 deploys a strategy to answer a daring but simple question: How could we design a house between almost 300 people? The unique pedagogical framework of ALICE, first year Architectural Design course, pro ...
