Solar Envelope Optimization Method for Complex Urban Environments
(2016)
Planning requirements in terms of energy efficiency and daylighting strongly contribute to shaping the layout of cities. Direct solar access is the main requirement of the right to light in Estonia. Direct sunlight hours ...
Parametric Details of Membrane Constructions
(2016)
The present paper represents a novel method of creating algorithms to accelerate and optimize the complex modeling of membrane details for designers. The Rhino® Grasshopper® software is used for the work. A set of parametric ...
Integration of Facility Management System and Building Information Modeling
(2016)
Based on the investigation of administration of apartment building in
Japan, a database for facility management, including the information of inspection schedule and maintenance frequency, are proposed in XML. The building ...
Complexity across scales in the work of Le Corbusier, Using box-counting as a method for analysing facades
(2016)
Since Benoît Mandelbrot raised the question about the length of Brit-ain’s coastline in 1967, it has become obvious that fractal geometry is appropriate for describing irregular forms. In 1996 Carl Bovill applied box-counting, ...
Time-based Matter: Suggesting New Formal Variables for Space Design
(2016)
Presently, digitalisation has moved beyond a desktop paradigm to one of ubiquitous computing; by introducing new possibilities and dynamic materials to various design fields, e.g. product design and architecture, it allows ...
Developing New Computational Methodologies for Data Integrated Design for Landscape Architecture
(2016)
The form language of the currently ongoing trend of parametric design remains often symbolic and arbitrarily interchangeable. In order to counteract this general trend within landscape architecture, the increasing ...
Forecasting Lifetime of Components in Building by Using BIM
(2016)
Because the conservation of buildings constructed during Japan’s period of high economic growth is now an urgent problem, this paper reports on the development of a method of forecasting the time between problems of building ...
The Importance of Connectivism in Architectural Design Learning: Developing Creative Thinking
(2016)
The creative thinking is an ability that should be learned and developed by teaching and practice. When these activities are elaborated into social circle and interact with different perspectives, it is possible to improve ...
Responsive Interaction in Dynamic Envelopes with Mesh Tessellation
(2016)
The paper will report on an ongoing experimental research collaboration to develop a conceptual architectural envelope that responds to feedback from external stimuli. The paper builds on our research on the construction ...
Ambient PET(b)ar
(2016)
This paper speaks about ambience in architecture in the flow and results of experimental design studio Achten/Nováková in Summer semester 2016 that cooperated with PET-MAT, a research team focusing on recycled plastic in ...
