Data synthesis : a comprehensive visual approach to material selection in architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The condition of information overload has become a common problem facing contemporary designers. This has resulted in a critical need for the development of "intelligent decision support" systems. One such system would ...
Developing a paradigm for visualizing architecture using computational methods : an analysis of the Havana Project by Lebbeus Woods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
This thesis is concerned with developing a more detailed and efficient process for visualizing architectural forms with computational tools. The thesis will examine the origins of computer visualization and its current ...
Levels of dependence : a drug rehabilitation facility for mothers and their children
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
Contemporary society is faced with an increasing problem of substance abuse and addiction. The public consequences of this private problem are experienced in the increasing costs in the healthcare, penal and welfare systems ...

Entropy and surfaceness
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
The layer of the Earth's atmosphere which contains clouds and weather systems is a thin thermoregulatory surface. It maintains an exact energy budget between the Earth and the Sun. Recent work in theoretical physics is ...

Self-similar synthesis on the border between sound and music
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992)
School, community, home : usuing architecture and urban design in creating an integrated learning environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
This thesis tests the assertion that the design of the physical environment plays a role in the effective integration of school and community. The design of most existing urban schools fails to recognize the integral role ...
