Operational, aesthetic, and construction process performance for innovative passive and active solar building components for residential buildings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
A system-based framework creates the ability to integrate operational, aesthetic, and construction process performance. The framework can be used to evaluate innovations within residential construction. By reducing the ...
Lighting a building with a single bulb : toward a system for illumination in the 21st c.; or, A centralized illumination system for the efficient decoupling and recovery of lighting related heat
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
Piping light represents the first tenable method for recovery and reutilization of lighting related heat. It can do this by preserving the energy generated at the lamp as radiative, departing from precedent and avoiding ...
Reinvention through reuse : strategies for the adaptive reuse of large-scale buildings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
The practice of adaptive reuse has grown in popularity in the United States over the past few decades, with now about 90% of architect-commissioned work involving some interaction with an existing structure. While the ...
An application service provider infrastructure for shared workspaces in Internet-based collaborative design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
For architectural, engineering and construction projects involving transient 'virtual organizations' composed of non-collocated team-members, the adoption of concurrent design principles is seen as vital. An important ...
Machine Learning for Human Design: Developing Next Generation Sketch-Based Tools
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
Formal computational approaches in the realm of engineering and architecture, such as parametric modelling and optimization, are becoming increasingly powerful, allowing for systematic and rigorous design processes. However, ...
Microbial mediations : cyber-biological extensions of human sensitivity to natural and made ecologies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
As natural and human made environments become increasingly monitored and modulated by embedded digital technologies, we are presented with a staggering flow of information reverberating between the scales of the made, the ...
