(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Weathermart reinvents the supermarket by questioning the generic big-box typology, where produce is placed in the same way, in an hermetically sealed environment. Supermarkets now consume excess energy by heating and cooling ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Inspired by Singapore's recent effort in building its new skyline in Maria Bay, the thesis intends to employ econometric structural modeling techniques to Singapore's office market for the period from 1975 to 2011. Using ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Due to budget issues, the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal has been left exposed to the arid desert environment since its construction in the 1970s. As a result, 5% of the amount of water diverted from the Colorado River ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis seeks to unpack the nature of ecology within architecture, not as a neutral science, but a legitimizing construct, building a future and transforming the ethics of the present towards very deliberate ideological ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Distributed energy resources (DERs) are a considerable research focus for cities to reach emissions reduction goals and meet growing energy demand. DERs, consisting of local power plants and distribution infrastructure, ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)What were once considered advanced visualization techniques have now become commonplace. With the advancement of visualization tools, animation has quickly become a primary means of representation within architecture; ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In March 2011, a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck northern Japan. In addition to the lives lost, thousands of people were dislocated, resulting in an urgent need for housing. My approach is to design the Expandable ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The 20th century's notion of a skyscraper in Manhattan, a symbolic object aloof from a city, should be redefined due to the reinterpretation of the grid to accommodate more public amenity and facilitate the cultural contexts ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)How can light and space influence our consciousness and the shape of the perception? Dematerialization is a mean to alter our perception to this physical world -- Materials lose their sense of solidity and lights reconstruct ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis presents the idea of a networked, transient mode of local food exchange and proposes a responsive infrastructure for integrating dynamic markets within the urban fabric. Focusing on market typologies as an area ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In 2050, global oil supply will decline to 1/8 of today's. Migrating to the Post-Oil Era, over 10000's km2 of Powerscapes - the solar-collecting infrastructure - will be gradually constructed across the arid desert, for ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The use of wood is fraught with paradox. Wood as a building material is embraced for its naturalness, while the cutting of trees is indicted as a destruction of nature. Wood is lauded for its structural properties and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The motivation behind this work was to obtain a better understanding of how a building's natural ventilation potential is affected by the complexities introduced by the urban environment. To this end, we have derived in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In recent decades, Seoul in Korea has experienced a rapid economic and urban development. As a result, the city exposes extreme disharmony between different zones. For example, the heavy mega structures are inconsiderately ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Framed by the following poetic statement: "When the Invisible Punishing Machine is everywhere, creeping into my body, life and spaces, it is like living in a colossal architectural nightmare", this thesis serves first as ...
