Plan schematization : a computational approach to morphological structure of architectural space
In this thesis an architectural design theory is premised so that plan making can start from a 'space scheme' which is a description of 'hierarchic balloon representation'. The space organization of a plan is described in hierarchic balloon representation in terms of a part/whole hierarchy of …

The Space Re-Actor : walking a synthetic man through architectural space
Spatial qualities in architectural design cannot be fully evaluated solely by observing geometrical constructs without reference to inhabitants placed inside. However, imagining what happens to those inhabitants and appreciating their movement is difficult even for trained architects. This thesis …

MapNexus : a framework to derive human intent from architectural space to enable context-aware information exchanges in a wireless intranet
Architectural interior spaces provide a rich syntax for context-aware modeling. In a wireless wide area network (WAN), an urban environment can be geographically tessellated into a series of polygons reflecting the radio transmission range of each wireless access point (AP). By using these APs as …
