Surface space : digital manufacturing techniques and emergent building material
… Instead of looking at the macro level of a building, the thesis should be viewed as a research based project that investigates assemblies at the domain of building surface. Based on this premise, the goal is to find how the tectonic expression at the scale of architectural details can …

Line coordination in a rapid change, high volume environment
… - Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) manufactures surface radars. In the past, Raytheon's Andover plant was primarily a systems integration facility receiving subassemblies from other sources to assemble the radars. Hence for a long time, building surface radars in low volume had been the norm. …

Microwave multipath resolution in microcellular channels
… environments. As a first step in this endeavor, building surface characterizations are made in order to determine empirical reflection coefficients of common building materials. Propagation experiments have been designed to determine applicability of Fresnel reflection formulas to non-ideal …

A Bio-inspired Solution to Mitigate Urban Heat Island Effects
… of energy expenditure is attributable to buildings. Urbanization is intensifying these trends with tighter spatial interrelationships among buildings. This is escalating building energy consumption due to the mutual impact of buildings on each other and, as a result, exacerbating Urban …

Urban weather generator user interface development : towards a usable tool for integrating urban heat island effect within urban design process
… planners to advocate zoning regulations such as building height and land use as well as policies for traffic intensity with energy and thermal implications of these interventions. UWG is the first tool publicly available that incorporates microclimatic considerations in urban design and energy …

Transition of hard and soft : architecture for human, machine and information interchange
… were to utilize a reworked form the most basic building element - the building skin - and new building surface concepts to arrive at such architecture.

Redressing architecture : the architecture of a fashion work/shop
… comparing the artificial construct of the surface of clothes and the surface of buildings, writings about the fashionable in architecture,and the architectonics of clothing and styles of architecture, my inclusion of these two seemingly disparate topics will try to begin beyond the obvious …

Large Eddy Simulation and Wavelet Analysis of the Flow Field around a Surface Mounted Prism
… flow characteristics of the turbulent flow over buildings. These vortical structures interact with each other and with the building surface resulting in secondary separation and severe pressure fluctuations. Moreover, the interaction of the large-scale vortices with the multiplicity of turbulence …

Measurements and modelling of reflection and transmission from smooth and rough surfaces at 62 GHz
… surrounding the environment. Indoor and outdoor building layout often influence the signal. In order to understand and mitigate the signal decay, knowing the internal properties as well as the surface characteristics of building materials could improve the deterioration of the …

Performance based wind design and optimization of tall buildings considering the nonlinearity in building response
… solutions to the analysis and design of tall buildings such as Performance-Based Design (PBD). PBD has become a mainstream approach to assess and reduce the risks in rehabilitation of existing structures. Application of PBD philosophy for design of tall buildings and other structures excited …
