<p>â Architecture of Acupunctureâ refers to one way an architect may begin a design project. This thesis was a one-year collaborative effort with my Masters Diploma Professors, Peter Zumthor and Miguel Kreisler, at the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio, Switzerland, in 2001.

Abstract:
Background: Acupuncture involves puncturing the skin with thin sterile needles at defined acupuncture points. Previous studies are inconclusive regarding the effect of acupuncture on labour pain, but some studies have found a reduction in the use of pharmacological pain relief when acupuncture is administered. The appropriate dose of acupuncture treatment required to elicit a potential effect on labour pain has not been fully explored. The dose is determined by many different factors, including the number of needles used and the intensity of the stimulation. In Sweden, manual stimulation of th

This research investigates the development of a single acupuncture ontology which can represent knowledge from two distinct perspectives, i.e., those of so-called orthodox or Western medicine and those of Chinese medicine.

However the differences between the two traditions make it difficult to exchange knowledge and to compare findings.

These come into interaction and their collaborations produce acupuncture in unexpected ways. This conclusion wa
