Non-Cooperative and Repetitive Games for Urban Conflicts in Tirana: A Playful Collaborative System to Lower Social Tension
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)Game Theory (GT) offers a critical lens to understand and analyze the capacity of different actors to make rational decisions linked to complex and emergent situations. Even though developed as a theory to tackle economic ... -
Smart Cities: A Socio-Technical Perspective
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)This research paper elaborates upon the concept of Smart Cities and the evolution of the term itself throughout history in order to outline the emergence of two distinct schools of thought: technocentric and humancentric, ... -
Smart Interactive Buildings [SIBs]: The use of Ambient Intelligent Systems [AMIS] to enable Smart Interactive Settlements [SISs]
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)The 21st Century is witnessing the dawn of Industry [I4.0], or the fourth Industrial Revolution. With burgeoning technological inventions linked to smart interactive cities and intelligent buildings, where humans-machines-spaces ... -
' Pay-as-you-go City ': New Forms of Domesticity in a Technological Society
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)Ongoing urbanization, combined with market fundamentalism as the prevailing mode of political management, is leading to the spatial and social segregation of economic classes in cities. The housing market, being driven by ... -
The Agrarian City in the age of Planetary Scale Computation: Dynamic System Model and Parametric Design Model for the introduction of Vertical Farming in High Dense Urban Environments in Singapore
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)Current conditions related to food security lead to study alternative forms of food production in cities such as vertical urban farming in high dense urban environments. This paper discusses the development of the Innovate ... -
Crossbreed - (Re) producing the Future
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)The subject of technological intervention has been largely debated among the world’s greatest minds. Political, theological, psychological, biological and ethical implications have all been argued for and against the ... -
Re-defining the Role of Interactive Architecture in Social Relationships
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)With rapid advance of new technologies and mediated built space has shifted from a static context of functions serving users to a new participant of social relationships. Interactive abilities and computational power allow ... -
Robotic Fabrication as Catalysts for Emergent Topologies and Traditions: Nomadic Small Pavilions and Permanent Mega Structures in Kuwait
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)This paper reviews tendencies and drives for future parametric computational design and robotic fabrication/construction automation. It sheds light on the local current impact of the computational paradigm and mass-customized ... -
[E]motive Architecture: strategies for a behaviour-driven Space configuration
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)As Architect and Engineer, we used to work with the concept of Space. Struggling to find an exhaustive definition, we risk thinking about it as a framework with the same properties of the object we are going to design. ... -
The Affective City: Cartography of Machinic Urban Assemblages
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)While the city is generally perceived -within complexity theory and dynamic systems theory as a changing field of dense interactions that occur in a range of spatial and temporal scales, we are unable to perceive it or ... -
BLOOM: materialising computational workflows
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)The paper presents ongoing research, aiming towards affordability of complex forms in architecture. The research supports that the above objective can be approached by re-examining and integrating materiality and form-finding ... -
The Body at the Center of Our Design Universe
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)A third factor has increasingly complicated the man-environment paradigm - the intellectual and physical framework defining the relationship between man and the environment, both built and natural - without definitive ... -
Participator, A Participatory Urban Design Instrument
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)A point cloud of reference points forms the programmable basis of a new method of urban and architectural modeling. Points in space from the smallest identifiable units that are informed to communicate with each other to ... -
Increasing Value of Architecture in the Platform Society
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2021 , Conference Paper)The author has developed several methods for democratizing the architectural design process resulting in a more user specific and open architecture. Our cities need Open Systems in order to grow and become resilient and ...
