SPANNING Between Structure and Nature
… Architecture, and People in this project. Simple geometric forms and the elegant structure interact with nature to achieve the order. People animate the serenity and become the core of the poetic environment. The building is also a spanning between the past and the future. Imagining that many …

Functional dissociation between visual and spatial temporary maintenance
… respectively, i.e., retention of visual items (geometric forms or Chinese ideographs) and retention of spatial items (dot locations), were simultaneously performed with active interference tasks that are assumed to load the visual and spatial resources respectively, i.e., processing visual …

3D architecture form synthesizer
The synthesis of forms is an interesting problem which has faced designers for years. So far, the only solution to this problem is to use the imagination of designers. Even though computers have been used in representing designs, they play only a very passive role in the process of design. …

Creation is a Patient Search: An Exploration of Form
… into creating a building using strong geometric forms that were defined by the structure. the thesis was tested, and retested, forgotten then restarted. every iteration through models, sketches, and drawings was a stepping stone for the final product ; a thesis. A thesis of exploring …

The role of the aerodynamic modifications of the shapes of tall buildings
… design has undergone a shift to the free-style geometric forms in the exuberant and liberal atmosphere. As a height of the building increases, it is more susceptible to vibration caused by wind because of its asymmetric distribution of mass and stiffness, increased flexibility and insufficient …

Tunable Piezoelectric Transducers via Custom 3D Printing: Conceptualization, Creation, and Customer Discovery of Acoustic Applications
… have enabled this material to take on complex geometric forms with micro-scale features. This work advances the additive manufacturing of piezoelectric materials by developing a model for predictive success of complex 3D printed geometries in Mask Image Projection-Stereolithography (MIP-SL) by …

An argument of the overwhelming: architectural forms in Prospect Park, Brooklyn
… acts are proposed : the elements, all strict geometric forms , are placed to contrast their setting; the land where they lie is trenched or terraced to perceptually remove the parcels of earth from the Park; the enclosing roads weave in and out, emerging within the Park, to determine the …

Structural Scaling Metrics For Tensioned-Blanket Space Systems
… mass performance of aircraft and spacecraft platforms. Large space structures designers and evaluators rely on metrics to compare boom, telescope, and long antenna architectures. In this work, scaling metrics are established for rectangular flexible blanket solar array structural architectures. …

Place, Bound By A Circle A Hospice
… together, additive in nature, to form rooms. Geometric forms are studied for their qualities and are placed according to forged relationships. A travel journal explores the building practices of the Soninke

Out Of Place: Stone Architecture And Pastoral Nomadism In Prehistoric Inner Asia
… contrasting strategies of human subsistence forms an interesting paradox that underlies precisely the nature of nomadism. Accordingly, this study questions how pastoral nomads relate to stationary structures and the idea of a locale. To do so, it draws on the archaeological record of stone …

Between Order and Chaos
… makes up the thesis exhibition. This tension informs every aspect of the work, from its making to its viewing, and is manifested in the formal and conceptual contrasts present in the thesis work. Tension is created formally through the juxtaposition of organic and geometric forms as well as the …

Architecture and urbanism in Henri IV's Paris : the Place Royale, Place Dauphine, and Hôpital St. Louis
… . First, the buildings were not autonomous geometric forms dropped into open spaces; they were conceived as parts of a larger urban composition, structured by axes which linked the monuments to major roads without however diminishing the quality of spatial enclosure which the designs also …

Optical Fiber Microstructures for Self-Contained Whispering Gallery Mode Excitation
… optical components. Though they appear in many geometric forms, the most effective of optical resonators show axial symmetry in at least one dimension. A popular variation that finds broad application is the dielectric sphere. Acclaimed for their high quality (Q) factor and small modal volume, …

Streams, stromatolites and the geometry of growth
… collection of papers is about recognizing common geometric features in the dynamics shaping diverse phenomena in the natural world. In particular, we focus on two systems which grow in response to a diffusive flux. The first system is a microbial mat which overlays a layer of precipitated mineral. …

Using the archive to formulate a chronology of rock art in the South-Western Cape, South Africa
… fat-tailed sheep, handprints and possibly geometric forms and dots were found to occur in various levels, even as parts of different traditions. Such divergences were analysed through the archival concept of respect des fonds to clarify graphic variations through the chronology. Probing …

Perception of patterned vibratory stimulation: An evaluation of the tactile vision substitution system
… tactile stimulation are able to identify both geometric forms and abstract patterns, accuracy is consistently lower than that of sighted Ss using vision, and the latencies for the blind Ss are significantly longer. It is hypothesized that the longer latencies for the blind Ss using the T.V.S.S. …

Exploring folded space in urban Cape Town : unfolding the Strand / Adderley Street juncion
… started with a personal interest as to what informs architectural form, specifically the folded, smooth or continuous form so visible in contemporary architecture. I was interested in the relationship between the formal 'folds' of contemporary architecture and the spatial theory of 'folded …

14,000 and 18
… in these works by formally contrasting rigid geometric and fluid organic forms. Balance is achieved when the geometric element does not overpower the organic element, and vice versa. This balance of duality is achieved in each work by implementing mystic addition and numeric symbolism to …
