Center for Making Material and Craftsmanship: A dialog between the crafted and the fabricated
… through the process of exploring the idea of the hand-made and the fabricated. In essence, this thesis presents a dialogue between the hand-made (poetic) material and the fabricated (pragmatic) material as an expression of the Architecture.

Numerical simulations of experimental results in a power unit to validate the energy output resulting from gas pressurizations on nanoparticles
… of unknowns was an obstacle to achieve trustful hand-made calculations and therefore a numerical model was created using the software COMSOL Multiphysics©. From the model, the order of value of the heat release during the pressurizations has been found to be 400 joules. From the data available, a …

The Man with the Blue Boots
… The story was illustrated using various hand-sewn textiles and fabric layering. After the images were created they were then transferred and manipulated further in Adobe Photoshop.

Skin Deep: The Elusive Aphrodite
… by using a variety of women as models for either hand-made paper body casts, or for large-scale, emotionally-charged, representational portraits. The concept of ideal beauty is alluded to by the Venus or Aphrodite-inspired positions within the portraits, while the detrimental effect of the pursuit …

Stylized Hatching for 3D Animation
… renderings of objects that mimic the look of hand-made drawings by traditional artists. This thesis extends work in this area by presenting an NPR hatching method that can be applied to 3D animated films to help them feel more hand drawn. In contrast to most other NPR methods, this method …

Starkiller : a static type inferencer and compiler for Python
… or Fortran. The type inference algorithm also handles data polymorphism in addition to parametric polymorphism, thus improving precision. Starkiller supports the entire Python language except for dynamic code insertion features such as eval and dynamic module loading. While the system is not …

3D digital relief generation.
… Traditional relief creation is done by hand and is therefore a laborious process. In addition, hand-made reliefs are hard to modify. Contrasted with this, digital relief can offer more flexibility as well as a less laborious alternative and can be easily adjusted. This thesis reviews …

After aura : authorship, automation, authenticity
… have been nostalgic for the mechanical and the hand-made. That being said, the anxiety surrounding the Aura has in many ways not faded. We still bid wildly at auctions, flock into galleries in pursuit of the new or go on pilgrimages to architectural sites and museums to see and experience the …

Cages and Skeletons in Digital Animation: A Novel Skeleton-based Approach for Cage Generation
… Due to these hard constraints, cages are often hand-made, and their creation may require hours of extensive work by skilled artists. For this reason, we focused on defining a novel skeleton based approach which allows the user to quickly design high-quality cages for animation; and developing a …
