  • Form elements of houses : investigating the collective form of detached houses 
    Shortridge, Steven Scott (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)
    This thesis focuses on the collective form of detached houses. A result of the American phenomenon of detached, single family, freestanding houses being the standard type. Through an observation of eight environments of ...
  • Form, finance, and use over time 
    Lukez, Paul, 1958- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985)
    This thesis is about making buildings affordable. It will explore thinking of buildings as being comprised of nearly decomposable systems of different lifespans. A nearly decomposable system is a system in which the links ...
  • Form-finding of elastic gridshells 
    Vaulot, Laélia Kim-Lan (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
    Elastic gridshells are obtained by elastic deformation of an initially flat grid into a three-dimensional shell-like geometry and were first implemented in architecture in the 1970's. Their mechanical behaviour, which ...
  • Form-finding structures 
    Fund, Ariane Ida (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
    Inherently characterized by the interaction of geometry and forces, the unique nature of long span dome, shell, and membrane structures readily allows collaboration between architects and engineers in the examination of ...
  • Form follows flow : re-imagining the skyscraper 
    Lee, Juney, M. Arch. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
    Skyscraper is a by-product of 19th century American industrialism. spirit, and disaster. The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was a catastrophe that necessitated dense and rapid reconstruction, both of which the high-rise provided. ...
  • Form follows flows -- the Boston urban ring 
    Kikutake, Natsuko (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    The formal architectural language of existing public transit can be categorized into one of the following four architectural prototypes: form follows function, the duck, the decorated shed, and the inverted decorated shed. ...
  • Form, function and flow in the plankton : jet propulsion and filtration by pelagic tunicates 
    Sutherland, Kelly Rakow (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    Trade-offs between filtration rate and swimming performance among several salp species with distinct morphologies and swimming styles were compared. Small-scale particle encounter at the salp filtering apparatus was also ...
  • Form generation through filmed references : Charles River Baths 
    Sloan, William Henderson (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977)
  • Forming of advanced composite materials 
    Beglinger, Jarrod (Jarrod Thomas), 1976- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
  • Forming of advanced thermoset composites : process development and deformation study 
    Li, Haorong, 1969- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
  • Forming processes for advanced composites 
    Chen, Chun-Ling Jocelyn, 1972- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
  • Form in the [middle]-ground : urban/suburban sprawl in Georgia & Tennessee 
    Prevendar, Nathaniel J. (Nathaniel Joseph) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
    Over the next quarter century the U.S. population will expand by 25 percent, an unprecedented steep and rapid increase that has already begun. The urban and suburban land area has been expanding to create a sprawling ...
  • Form-maker and collaborator : the role of the structural engineer 
    Tao, Alice (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    Over the past century, there have existed two major types of structural engineers. Some, like Robert Maillart, contributed greatly to the advancement of new forms. Others, such as Peter Rice, produced their most innovative ...
  • The form of clean energy neighborhoods : how it is guided and how it could be 
    Wang, Jue, M.C.P. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    The subject of "clean energy city" has attained increased attention in recent year. However, almost all studies to date about "clean energy" are either at the building scale or the regional scale and little touches the ...
  • The form of emotive design 
    Mothersill, Philippa (Philippa Jane) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
    We have an unconscious understanding of the meaning of different physical objects through our extensive interactions with them. Designers can extend and adapt pre-existing symbolic meanings through the design of these ...
  • A form-of-inhabiting movie : some geography about its physical features. 
    Strickland, Rachel Morgan (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976)
  • Form projection exploration of habitable field. 
    Kubo, Motoo (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972)
  • Form, scales and optimality in the basin landscape and its channel network 
    Ijjász-Vásquez, Ede Jorge (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
  • Forms for change : an architecture of meaning 
    Kim, Nina (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
    A socially responsible role for architecture and architects is one which consciously responds to a particular set of socio-cultural values. These values, regardless of interpretation, are in a state of constant change. In ...
  • Forms for electronic books 
    Gano, Steve (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1983)
    The book is proposed as a candidate form for new electronic information systems. The electronic book casts the powerfully expressive new media of computers and video in the accessible forms of the printed book. It is a ...
