The decision-making process in real-world implementations has been affected by a growing reliance on data-driven models. Recognizing the limitations of isolated methodologies - namely, the lack of domain understanding in ...

The computation and construction of curved beams along freeform skins pose many challenges. We show how to use surfaces of constant mean curvature (CMC) to compute beam networks with beneficial properties, both aesthetically ...

This paper presents a novel topology for gridshells symmetric to the principal stress directions. This diagonal layout (D-Net) allows to distribute forces evenly across neighbouring members and create equilibrium states ...

This thesis investigates doubly curved grid structures with the goal to simplify their fabrication. For this purpose, we examine networks with constant geometric parameters, and describe their potentials for design and ...

Der gesellschaftliche Zusammenhalt wird im Bezug auf eine rein politische Auseinandersetzung weitreichend thematisiert. Weiterhin findet der gesellschaftliche Zusammenhalt allgemein in der wissenschaftlichen Lektüre ...

This article looks at artistic interventions as impulses for urban innovation. It investigates their ability to create the conditions for new forms of engagement, influence, rethink or enable new kinds of cooperation or ...

This thesis, a result of a cotutelle and double degree agreement between Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie and Leibniz Universität Hannover, aims to demonstrate that the integration of planning scales and prioritising ...

In the last decade, many studies focused on finding optimal design solutions considering trade-offs between different aspects of building design. Accordingly, multi-objective optimization (MOO) approaches have been ...

Soundscape quality in green spaces of residential areas directly contributes to residents’ quality of life. It has close relationships with landscape characteristics, which should be considered in landscape planning and ...
