Journey to Machu Picchu: Where History, Culture, and Imagination Intertwine
… as an exploration of how to create an immersive design through an immersive design experience. The project I used to study this inquiry was the design of a new country pavilion at Epcot in Walt Disney World based on Peru. This project revealed that in architecture, the design process is integral …

Microbial mediations : cyber-biological extensions of human sensitivity to natural and made ecologies
… monitored and modulated by embedded digital technologies, we are presented with a staggering flow of information reverberating between the scales of the made, the grown, and ourselves. In this thesis, I use two projects as cases for interrogating the material, computational, and biological …

Patterns of Domestic Video Mediated Communication
… by distance, they turn to communication technologies to stay connected with loved ones. However, most technologies do not provide the same feelings of connectedness that one feels from seeing loved ones. This dissertation explored the design and use of video-based technologies to allow …

Comparative studies of brain developmental timing and progression using 3D stem cell models
… cannot be directly studied with current modern technologies or interventions. We used self-organising brain organoid models, derived from stem cells of different relevant species to establish paradigms for comparative studies in brain development, and understand aspects of human specific brain …

Positive Influences and Educational Practices in the STEM Learning Ecosystem: An Asset-Based, Multi-Case Exploration of Non-Formal Youth Education in Senegal
… youth can lead to the development of skills to design technologies, innovate tools, optimize work processes, and solve problems to improve society. The public high schools in Senegal are reported to have a low enrollment of students in STEM-related subjects. Youth are taught to memorize …

Urban densification, social capital, and domestic energy demand: Neighbourhood restructuring in Jinan City, China
… demand, and its implications on policy and design? The study adopts a practice-based approach to understand the lived experience and energy use. The focus is less on density as a ratio and more on how density is produced, experienced, perceived, negotiated, and contested. By using a …
