House, home, and community : good models for graduate student housing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
This thesis explores the planning and design of on-campus housing for graduate students in urban context. This study reviews the prevailing models of on-campus housing nationally and discusses the new concepts of future ...
Understanding behavior with ubiquitous computing for architectural design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Understanding the relationship between workplace environment and behavior is an important concern for designers. We report on a pilot study where ubiquitous computing was used to examine workplace activity quality in a ...

(cont.) In Latin American new leaders are proposing alternatives to America's capitalist system. In Mexico, Subcomandante Marcos, is calling for an end to globalism. His group, the Zapatista revolutionary army who's name ...
Logic matter : digital logic as heuristics for physical self-guided-assembly
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Given the increasing complexity of the physical structures surrounding our everyday environment -- buildings, machines, computers and almost every other physical object that humans interact with -- the processes of assembling ...
Crossings : the promise of proximity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993)
There are four key notions underlying this thesis: a. there are forces at play which cause many of the home's systems to interact with each other in ways that may be intended or unintended; b. due to these forces, our ...
Multisensory models for human spatial orientation including threshold effects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
E-Observer, a stand-alone executable version of the Observer model developed by Newman and Oman (2009), was developed. The complicated structure of the Observer model and its parameters made this conversion challenging. ...
A pedagogical guide into trigonometric transformations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
A tool is a device that augments an individual's ability to perform a particular task. The more specificity a tool has, the narrower its instrumentality. Tools inherently constrain the way individuals design; however, ...
