• Complexity across scales in the work of Le Corbusier, Using box-counting as a method for analysing facades 

  Lorenz, Wolfgang E. (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, ...

• Towards the Measurement of Perceived Architectural Qualities 

  Heinrich, Benjamin; Wurzer, Gabriel (2016)

  “Architectural quality” is a property of the built environment that, even though often quoted, is hard to define in rigorous terms. In our work, we take a step into that direction, based on recent results in cognitive ...

• Visual Structuring for Generative Design Search Spaces Scanning Technology 

  Günsu Merin, Abbas; İpek Gürsel, Dino (2016)

  With generative design strategies, the act of design, the problem-solving process, and the interaction, understanding and representation of design artefacts have changed. As such strategies entail a large number of possible ...

• Stereotomic Models In Architecture, A Generative Design Method to Integrate Spatial and Structural Parameters Through the Application of Subtractive Operations 

  Juan José Castellón, González; Pierluigi, D’Acunto (2016)

  This paper introduces a generative design method for architecture grounded on the stereotomic approach. The method is based on the application of the Boolean subtraction operation to integrate spatial and structural ...

• Identification of Required Processes and Data for Facilitating the Assessment of Resources Management Efficiency During Buildings Life Cycle 

  Seddik, Moamen M.; Reffat, Rabee M.; Elkady, Shawkat L. (2016)

  Construction resources including materials, labors, and equipment are extremely cost extensive in all construction projects. The management of these re-sources is a complex process, which significantly affects construction ...

• 2D-Hygrothermal Simulation of Historical Solid Walls 

  Pascucci, Michela; Lucchi, Elena (2016)

  The analysis and the knowledge of the historical building masonries are key elements in preserving and enhancing their heritage value in a conscious way. The paper aims at simulating the hygrothermal behaviour of several ...

• Responsive Interaction in Dynamic Envelopes with Mesh Tessellation 

  Datta, Sambit; Smolik, Andrei; Chang, Tengwen (2016)
