Generative models for predictive UI design tools
User interface (UI) design is a central part of the mobile app creation process, which involves specifying the elements that should be placed on a screen, and how they should be arranged and styled. This paper introduces a generative model approach to predictive design for mobile UI layouts. Given …

A Framework for Incorporating Virtual Reality into the Early Stages of the Design Process and Massing Studies
… (VR) into the early stages of the architectural design process, particularly during massing studies. The research proposes a framework identifying the necessary knowledge domains and technologies to facilitate this integration. Traditional design tools often restrict architects' ability to fully …

Co-Optimization and Co-Learning Methods for Automated Design of Rigid and Soft Robots
… or economy of motion, and their plainly simple designs indicate room for improvement. Unfortunately, a major barrier to creating similarly adept robots is the design process itself. Each aspect of robot design, including the (physical) body (e.g. actuation, sensing, geometry, materials) and the …

Development of designer-relevant Lattice-Boltzmann Wind Field Model for urban canyons and their neighborhoods
… is one of the most important components for designers to achieve a thermally-comfortable and energy-efficient building design. Designers need a fast and relatively accurate wind field model to get integrated into the design workflow, but current platforms to work on are either costly and …

Rapid design and simulation of functional digital materials
… this thesis I build an end-to end computer-aided design (CAD), simulation, and manufacturing (CAM) pipeline for digital materials that respects the discretization of the parts in its underlying software representation. I propagate the same abstract geometric "cell" representation of parts from the …

Single Molecule Localisation with Fourier Light Field Microscopy
This thesis explores the design, development and application of a novel 3D super-resolution technique, which aims to improve the temporal resolution of 3D Single Molecule Localisation Microscopy (SMLM). This technique combines the super-resolution capability of SMLM with the principles of parallax; …

Capturing Key Knowledge Exchanges within the Design Process of Transformable Shading Systems
… evidence of a lack of a holistic approach to the design of motion in architecture and the design of motion as an alternative mode of design thinking is still in its infancy. Consequently, the existing tradition of static forms being the sole forms taught in architectural studies should be …

Thin shell foundations: Embodied carbon reduction through materially efficient geometry
… analytical equations are applied in a parametric design workflow to evaluate the environmental impact of conventional prismatic foundations and shell foundations for the same design load. For a 2MN column load on clay soil, shells reduce embodied carbon in foundations by 48%. By applying this …
