Fibrous tectonics
The inherent possibilities of composites present an exciting frontier in architecture that has remained largely untapped. In light of the current computational capacities and new digital tools in manufacturing, composites are just beginning to re-situate themselves in the field of architecture. …

Software tectonics
… The object of investigation in Software Tectonics is how technologies of design and construction allow newly forming propositions about the role of environment in the discipline to become operational tactics in the design practice. SOFTWARE TECTONICS proposes 3 design research projects. …

Towards material-informed tectonics
… fiber-based material. Titled Material-informed Tectonics, the framework extends the domain of parametric design processes from geometry to material, expands the potential application of volumetric material modeling techniques beyond high resolution multi-material 3D printing systems, and bridges …

Connective architecture : exploring relationships between tectonics of weaving and spatial tectonics of production and display
… and the loom. On one level, it deals with the tectonics of the woven fabric. On another, it deals with all environment for both process and product (production and display) -- a programmatic arrangement of independent industries but not associated with large scale displays. This thesis explores …

Modelling surface evolution coupled with tectonics
This study presents the development of 1D and 2D Surface Evolution Codes (SECs) and their coupling to any lithospheric-scale (thermo-)mechanical code with a quadrilateral structured surface mesh. Both SECs involve diffusion as approach for hillslope processes and the stream power law to reflect …

Tectonics of the Ålen area, central Norway
Investigation of primary features preserved within the Tremadocian - Lower Ordovician Fundsj∅ Group indicate that the succession accumulated in a deepwater environment. The ca. 4-5 km thick Fundsj∅ Group exposed in the Ålen area is dominated by thin-bedded, terrigenous clastic metasediments which …

Early Water on Mars Hindered Subduction-Driven Plate Tectonics
… evolution, but only Earth developed active plate tectonics. One of the main unresolved phenomena in planetary science is understanding why plate tectonics, particularly subduction-driven plate tectonics, failed to develop on Mars. Here, I investigate the possibility of subduction initiation in …

Pan-African magmatism and regional tectonics of South Brazil
The Dam Feliciano Belt is a Pan-African mobile belt from the Ribeira orogen of southern Brazil. A detailed field and geochemical traverse along the BR392 road section between Pelotas and Caҫapava do Sul identifies two major tectonic domains; the Pelotas Batholith and the Santana Metamorphic Belt, …

Tectonics of the southern Annapurna Range, central Nepal Himalaya
Over the past two decades, several competing dynamic models have emerged to explain the tectonic evolution of the Himalayan thrust belt. Basic aspects of the geology of the range remain relatively poorly known, however, limiting the accuracy of dynamic and kinematic models. For example, the …

Tectonics of the semi-permanent: Reassembling fit-out architecture
In New York engineer Reginald Pelham Bolton’s 1911 obsolescence study “Building for Profit: Principles Governing the Economic Improvement of Real Estate”, he foretold a truth that remains today, that “the useful or economic existence of all classes of buildings, in the rapid march of modern …

Deciphering the Tectonics of the Caucasus from Post-Collisional Volcanism
The southern margin of the Eurasian plate is a well-studied region of continental collision. The Caucasus mountains lie at the centre of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, and differs from their better studied neighbours by the presence of intense, largely mantle derived post-collisional …
