Craft-inclusive Construction: Design Strategies for Thin-tile Vaulting
Design and digital analysis tools can be a fertile space in which situated building knowledge, represented in crafts, act in dialogue with methods of construction. This research examines this possibility in thin-tile vaulting - a Mediterranean ceiling-craft technique that employs less material, but …

The Impact of Fiscal and Monetary Policy on the Cross-Sectional Value Factor
… formed on the intersection of five portfolio construction design choices, which I take to represent the concept of the "value" premium in aggregate, I find that both structural and revaluation returns to the factor are lower than average during periods when fiscal and monetary policy are …
