Physical design cognition : an analytical study of exploratory model making to inform creative robotic interaction
… current practices of digital design fabrication, model making is bifurcated into screen based visualization (CAD) and machine based production (CAM), which limits the body's capability of generating creative thought through material interaction. If theories from the field of cognitive science …

Automatic generation of a floor plan from a 3D scanned model: Making the Analogue World Digital
The processing of three-dimensional (3D) room models is an area of research undertaken by many academics and hobbyists due to multiple uses derived from the information obtained - such as the generation of a floor plan; an example of bridging the real and digital world. A floor plan is required …

Ski Chalet
… This project was primarily explored through model making and focused on the relationship of different materials to one another and the spaces those materials can create. The contrast between concrete and wood best shows the dynamic use of materials in the house. The final design of the house …

Emotional Walls: Designing Architecture That Speaks the Unspoken
… Two complementary approaches guide decision-making: digital software for testing ideas and physical techniques, including sketching and model-making, to achieve a cohesive final design.

Kinetic Demonstrations
… clear away superimposed doxa from architecture, making space for a demonstration of epistemic constructs. These projections of the ideal carry with them the basic autonomy of form. The demonstrations are a search for what is true in architecture. The purest form of architecture can be found in …

Beyond the Pristine: Reframing the Notion of Nature Conservation through the Agency of Plant 'Vagabonds' in Toronto's Rouge National Urban Park
… Using fieldwork, mapping, document analysis, and model making as catalysts for design intervention, the work proposes the park's transformation into a vagabond living lab, employing a network of experimental design instruments across the landscape. Each design frames the site as a testing ground …

Achieving performance portability across parallel accelerator architectures
… a GPU, Rigel allows for a flexible execution model, making it difficult to extract performance information that can be leveraged to get good performance on other architectures. CUDA code written for Rigel performs poorly when executed on a GPU, and is significantly slower than optimized CUDA …

A Reflection of a Revolution
… studying the relationship between two elements, model making and sketching were the primary means of generating the form. Then the design was advanced through a series of digital models and hand sketches. My drawings in general are a rational representation of the spaces. It deals with the sense, …

Augmented materials : towards reconnecting bits of mind and atoms of hand
… engagement with material in the process of making, the integration of thinking and doing - or mind and hand - results in generating iterative design solutions. While compute raided design (CAD) tools have brought various benefits to the field of design, such as speed and accuracy in …

Knowledge Through Making
… The centerpiece of the project is a robust model, which acts as an analogue to the actual construction method.

Where virtual meets reality : empowering the public with tangible and digital vision building tools
… for vision creation included both a tangible, model-making framework and a digital, virtual reality component. Residents at a public meeting would start the visioning process by 'playing out' their ideas using physical LEGOTM blocks. The intuitive and simple tangible interface of LEGOTM blocks …

Cultural Sustainability through Architecture
… department library. A labour intensive model making process helped me to develop the design for a mixed used building where the different programs penetrate into each other`s realm and where the city is not excluded from the building but takes part in it.

The Architectural Coincidence: guessing consciously, gauging unconsciously
… Using naturally-formed rock art and intuitive model-making that engages hands as the prompts in combination with engaging the digital tools, we aim to show the possibility of pursuing a precise design result without the limit of human consciousness, and of pursuing a natural result without the …

An exploration of how a drama-based pedagogy can promote understanding of chemical concepts in 11-15 year old science students
… an intervention design based on a pedagogical model developed in my Masters research. This study aimed to explore the characteristics of students’ interaction and the nature of their resultant conceptions over four months. Each case focussed upon one of eight Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 classes …

Tectonic sites: structuring the landscape with textile-derived construction techniques
… that used textiles in their construction and model making. Textiles are porous and flexible, uniquely suiting them to integrating, responding to, and even structuring landscape contingency. Textiles visibly intertwine with materials and organisms. They symbolize the integration of humans and …

Design and representation in landscape architecture: Imagining place ; A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Landscape Architecture at Lincoln University
… facets among humans and nature. In particular, model making and ‘photo making’ were identified as ways to investigate the multi-sensory and imaginative dimensions during the design process. Findings included the appreciation of how design in landscape architecture can be regenerated and …

Modeling temporal and spatial variations in dissolved oxygen in Amite River
A watershed-based modeling framework is developed in this dissertation for simulating temporal and spatial variations in DO in lowland rivers with organic-rich fine-grained sediment. The modeling framework is based on three major contributions/new models, including (1)VART-DO model for improved …
