Adaptive architecture, an implementation with game theory. Emotional input and pneumatically driven actuator
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
In the active context of adaptive architecture, this proposal tackles the field of Human Building Interaction. Indeed, material would no longer be inert but activated by the users, programmable and equipped with memory. ...
Design as semiosis: A design mechanism for place branding
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The described design methodology combines parametric design, data analysis, algorithmic design and semiotics theory to systematically analyze urban reality. The analysis leads to a creation of a nebula of data which ...
Urbanism Beyond Cognition: On Design and Machine Learning
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
It could be argued that the introduction of new technologies always shifts the 'epistemological horizon' of the different fields they impact. New instruments allow expanding the range of parameters defining a discipline's ...
