(from) the repertoire : an architectural theory of operations.Oral and embodied knowledge in architectural and spatial practices.

Julien Lafontaine Carboni

How can one construct spatial histories and architectural theories from gestures, words and voices, bodies and minor threads? This research delves into oral and embodied architectural and spatial knowledge as modes of producing buildings, spaces and spatia ...

Structural Design from Reclaimed Material Sauvabelin – The Never-Ending Story

Benoît Pascal Kälin

This thesis is developed as part of the final year project that must be completed to obtain the MCs degree in Civil Engineering at EPFL. It follows up the pre-study project carried out during the last semester of the course. The environmental crisis that o ...

Component reuse in structural design: emerging practices and tools for the circular economy

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Pierluigi D'Acunto, Jonas Warmuth, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Structural engineers play an increasing role in ensuring the transition towards a more sustainable construction sector: a) they are responsible for the design of the most resource- and energy-intensive part of buildings and infrastructure, and b) they regu ...

Bodily self and human grid cell-like activity: probing spatial representation with immersive virtual reality

Hyukjun Moon

Grid cells are place-modulated neurons that encode the location of an agent in space, relying on the integration of various sensorimotor signals from the body. Of note, the integration of those signals is also fundamental for the agent's conscious experien ...

Magneto-active elastic shells with tunable buckling strength

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi

Shell buckling is central in many biological structures and advanced functional materials, even if, traditionally, this elastic instability has been regarded as a catastrophic phenomenon to be avoided for engineering structures. Either way, predicting crit ...

Design 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 ...

Adaptive structures can modify their shape and internal forces through sensing and actuation in order to maintain optimal performance under changing actions. Substantial whole-life energy can be saved with respect to traditional passive designs through wel ...

2019

The aim of this paper is to look back on some valuable accomplishments built in Vienna during the Interwar period. The housing projects were realised adopting a specific architectural model: the Hof. The Viennese examples represented an architectural idea ...
