Wind Effects on Buildings With this blog post we would like to hit on a sample from the multitudes of complex factors affecting the built environment in an urban context. These factors will aid or inhibit a designer’s ability to utilize wind to provide a better internal climate for the users of our buildings. One … Read more
IS COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN THE RENAISSANCE OF THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS ?
The last 10-15 years of development in computers and software have given most engineers and architects the capacity to self-resolve every kind of problem with complex structural forming in a short amount of time. This has allowed them to break the calculability paradigm. Where what was not able to be calculated, or even … Read more
Multi-Frame Swarms
Learning How to Swarm I learned about swarms a number of years ago from online lectures and articles in Architectural Design (AD) such as Swarm intelligence (2009) by Neil Leach. The topic has been discussed in architecture for at least two decades with research papers (2000) that still included Altavista email addresses. I had no … Read more
