From Waste to Structure: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach to Circular Design
The design-to-construction process of buildings predominantly follows a top-down linear workflow, where a design is drawn and subsequently refined to determine the required materials and components. This approach assumes an infinite material supply or the capability to manufacture what is needed …

Sustainable Engineering of Polyethylene Fiber Materials: Advancing Functional Properties of Diverse Textile-Based Structures
This thesis explores pathways to circularity for polyethylene-based textiles through an integrated framework that combines material experimentation, systems-level policy analysis, and cultural innovation. Focusing on olefin block copolymer (OBC) filaments—engineered with semicrystalline …

The Green Shift
… and the built environment, proposing integrative design strategies such as photobioreactor facades and algae-based skin systems that blur the boundary between architecture and ecology. Through experimental prototyping, case study analysis, and conceptual design, this book reimagines algae not as …

A Computational Framework for Zero Waste Structural Design
… which can be attributed to inefficiencies in the design process – necessitating innovative approaches to structural design. In the typical design process a geometry is first determined, and then members are sized to its particular codes and requirements. Oftentimes, to satisfy these requirements, …
