Schematic design of distributed mass damping systems for tall buildings
… new high-rises grow taller and more slender, the design of tall buildings becomes heavily constrained by the control of lateral displacements and accelerations due to dynamic excitations. This has led to the development of motion control devices, such as the Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and Tuned …

Assurance of Indoor Environmental Quality through Building Diagnostics at Schematic Design
… actions have been suggested for late building design phases, construction, and building operations, however, few data are available that demonstrate the benefits of preventive actions in early planning phases. In a case study, expected building performance in respect to indoor air quality and …

Studies toward a design approach for public gathering facilities
A set of design studies examines the ways in which the ongoing, routine activities of an educational institution may inter act with a variety of ceremonial public gathering events related to its curriculum, through the shared physical presence of its building facility. An existing music school is …

A New Business Process Model for Enhancing BIM Implementation in Architectural Design
… BIM implementation in mid-size firms during the Schematic Design (SD) and Design Development (DD) phases. The study has four main objectives. First, mapping the existing BIM related process model in mid-size firms, and modeling the flow of information between BIM users inside these firms. Second, …

A high bandwidth, low distortion, fully differential amplifier
… converter in an ultra-wideband test system was designed and simulated. The amplifier has differential inputs and outputs and a bandwidth of greater than 500 MHz. According to simulation, the linearity for frequencies above 100 MHz is ten times better than amplifiers currently on the market. The …

Developing criteria for PC-CADD evaluations : a case study
… in the production stages of the architectural design process is now widely acknowledged, its true benefits for earlier, schematic design phases remain unclear. Due to the very subjective nature of that process and the complexity of its overlap with other design stages, schematic design is a …

Redevelopment options for the O Street Market site, Washington, D.C.
… of the environment in an attempt to generate design alternatives for the redevelopment of the O Street Market site in Washington, D.C. The intention in presenting, as a conclusion to the study, an alternative image of the site that stands in stark contrast to that proffered by a potential …

The strategic use of an information system in supporting architectural design decisions for a design firm
… be utilized as a strategic tool in architectural design for a firm. The products of information technology have been designed around a wide spectrum of needs. Architects can immediately adopt the technology and use it as design tools. These tools are not just a productional convenience, but also …

Discovering from tradition : lessons for new shopping center designs in Beijing, drawn from the traditional Da Shi-la shopping district
… are scarce. Reflected in modem shopping designs in Beijing, this phenomenon places constraints on designers who are forced to focus on financial returns, rather than civic or cultural benefits. A number of modem shopping centers have been designed with no regard for the precious urban and …

The conceptual design of architectural form : a performance spec for a computer system
Design is not considered as a professional activity that entails preliminary design, schematic design, and design development, but rather as a creative and conceptual activity that involves the graphic expression of ideas. By using computer graphics, the computer as a protean machine provides the …

Investigation and design of key circuit blocks in a 10 bit SAR ADC at 100 MS/s
… in this thesis is based on the investigation and design of key circuit blocks in a high speed, high resolution SAR ADC in TSMC’s 28nm technology. The research carried out analyses the circuit limitations of the switched capacitor DAC and the settling problems of the reference voltage associated …

Knowledge-Based Model for Integrated Tall Building Design Factors
Factors influencing the design process can take many different forms, such as conceptual, physical, economic, environmental, social, and cultural. This dissertation focuses on development of an ontology to capture integrated design factors for tall buildings. An ontology is a knowledge-based model …

Sticks and stones: a Blue Ridge Mountain retreat
… the problem of the thesis project was to design a retreat that would fit the environment and the people that would inhabit it. It was a searching for the interdependence between the landscape and the building. Equally important was a search for a structure that would give architectural …

Robust hardware elements for weightless artificial neural networks
… artificial neural systems. Several new design methodologies for the implementation of robust binary sum-and-threshold neurons are presented. The new techniques do not rely on weighted binary counters or registered arithmetic units for their operation making them less susceptible to …

Feminist critique and the Pueblos as textual : an architectural translation of Monique Wittig
… and transgressed. Drawing on both, I make a schematic design that suggests the architectural qualities that could result from these principles. The thesis follows in principle one general feminist methodology: The 'peeling away of the layers' of cultural assumption and determinism through the …

Beyond the Bioclimatic Chart: An Automated Simulation-Based Method for Assessing Natural Ventilation and Passive Design Potential
… contributed to a homogenization in architectural designs globally, from the hot climates of Mumbai to the cold environments of Boston, and moderate settings like London. Such uniformity often overlooks local climatic conditions, resulting in increased energy consumption and elevated greenhouse gas …

Explorations of computer-based design tools for urban design projects
… computers, information, and automation in the designing of large-scale environments. It is an attempt to understand the issues at root in developing an "intelligent" design environment which provides tools for handling tasks often too mundane and distracting for sustained design activity. In …

A Framework for Building Assembly Selection and Generation
In practice, the building design process can be divided into three major stages; schematic design, design implementation and construction documents development. The majority of the time in the building design delivery process is spent in the latter two stages. Computers can greatly aid the designer …
