Improvisational specification of design spaces
… problem solving, the classical notion of a design space has proven convenient for the sciences and the engineering disciplines over the past sixty years. This is also true for models of calculating in design. These models, however, assume implicitly that a design space, one of possible …

Integration of quality-by-design into control systems design for continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing
… there has recently been much interest in design spaces: sets of critical process parameters (CPPs) which guarantee that critical quality attributes (CQAs) of a manufacturing process are within specifications. For continuous pharmaceutical processes, design spaces are usually calculated by …

Exploring design space representations for design creativity research and education
… is. This work investigates how the concept of design spaces is employed in design creativity research and education. To do so, a literature review focussed on the design space concept both within the design discipline and beyond it. This provides a starting point to understand current …

Membrane I/O: Designing Bits and Atoms for Tangible Telepresence
This thesis proposes a strategy of designing Computer Mediated Tangible Communication (CMTC) over space and time with the consideration of philosophical concepts posed in Phenomenology. Membrane I/O (M.I/O) is created as a conceptual framework for CMTC, which focuses on creating a thin sensor/motor …

Informing decision-making in single-objective, mixed-variable design problems
Data-driven decision-making in mixed-variable design problems presents a variety of challenges and opportunities, especially in the increasingly data-rich field of emissions in architectural and structural design. Designers can benefit from an underlying knowledge about, for example, whether …

Application of First Principle Modeling in Combination with Empirical Design of Experiments and Real-Time Data Management for the Automated Control of Pharmaceutical Unit Operations
… for operational flexibility within a validated design space. These Quality by Design initiatives have allowed drug manufacturers to incorporate more rigorous scientific controls into their production streams. </p><p>Fully automated control systems can incorporate information about a process back …

Performance-Based Quality Specifications: The Link between Product Development and Clinical Outcomes
The design of drug delivery systems and their corresponding dosing guidelines are critical product development functions supported by clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data. Largely, the importance of variance and covariance in product and patient attributes is poorly …

Grammatical design with graphic statics : rule-based generation of diverse equilibrium structures
During early stages of design, an architect tries to control space by "finding a form" among countless possible forms, while an engineer tries to control forces by "form-finding" an optimized solution of that particular form. Most commonly used parametric tools in architectural design provide the …

Structural design synthesis using machine learning
… may support creative, performance-informed design processes for early-stage building and structural design. Given the imperative to curb greenhouse gas emissions, designers have an increased responsibility to consider the environmental impact of their decisions early on in the design process …

Behavioral Methods for Next-Generation Shipboard Power System Simulation: Letting SPARCS Fly
Design requirements on modern naval platforms are increasing the complexity and criticality of onboard electric plants. They form the backbone of warship operational capability and are at the heart of maritime decarbonization. Tasks such as assessing the ship's capacity in a damaged state, …

Design by searching : a system for creating and evaluating complex architectural assemblies
… a prototypical Web-based search system designed to enable architects and/or developers to engage and educate residential consumers in a new way: as co-designers. The key motivation is to develop software tools that support a feasible industrial process while providing home consumers with …

Spaces that encourage Communication: Design for a Public Library
… In this thesis, I am exploring how to design spaces which can encourage communication between people. According to Jan Gehl's book, Cities for People, watching, listening and experiencing others is the beginning of social communication. After studying precedents, I summarized basic …

Ajami : spaces between the street and the privacy of home
The thesis investigates, by research and design, spaces which are located between the street and the privacy of home, focusing on the case-study of Ajami; a mixed Palestinian-Israeli and Jewish-Israeli neighborhood in Jaffa, lying on the seashore of the Mediterranean. The houses in Ajami are …

The value of public art in landscape architecture
To design spaces for public art has become an increasingly difficult exercise due to the constant shifts in the public's social behaviour and attitude towards art. This is exacerbated by the fact that the discipline of art is so unique and diverse it is almost impossible to find a commonly …
