Full textAbstract:
The analogy between the two arts of music and architecture has been a central theoretical theme since the conception of either. Emerging from a background that is situated in both architectural and musical instruction, the correlation between the two has always provided a certain degree of fascination for me. Having understood the linear narrative running between the translation of music and architecture, I endeavoured to locate a more conceptual foothold from which to derive my arguments. The essays below outline my discovery and development of the topic, transforming a simple analogy into a conceptual way of reading context so as to create an architectural composition of space, just as a musician uses the tools of notes (sounds), rests (silences), instrument quality, beat (time) and sequence to create a musical composition. This thesis developed similarly to that of a musical composition: where themes are presented, then developed, then treated in new ways, and finally returned to, creating a final composition that moves through exposition (stability), development (heightened tension and conflict) and resolution.

Aim: Reconnect the City to the Sea through investment in the pedestrian and public space, supported by activity generating and accommodating architecture. Theory question: What architectural methods are being employed in global port-side cities to reinvent and make use of large tracts of de-valued inner city land? Technology question: What is the nature of the physical condition that the foreshore area presents and what impact has this had on the haphazard development of this inner city space? Sub Questions: What are the key factors in global cities' development and fabric which have resulted in large inner city tracts of undervalued land, and their condition? What are the implications of different modes of mobility within urban space, and particularly their effects on the resulting urban form, and utilization of this space? What negative effects of mobility in a global society are universal to all contemporary cities and societies, and what are some of the contextually derived typological solutions? What are the primary opportunities and technical challenges presented by the unique conditions of the foreshore to development?

Full textAbstract:
This thesis started with a personal interest as to what informs architectural form, specifically the folded, smooth or continuous form so visible in contemporary architecture. I was interested in the relationship between the formal 'folds' of contemporary architecture and the spatial theory of 'folded space'. In order to understand where these forms are coming from and whether or not the idea of 'folded space' could bring value to the construct of architecture in the South African context I had to gather a comprehensive understanding of the state of architecture in the 21" century and of course that meant researching the failures and successes of what went before. I have learned that the obsession with folded form comes from contemporary architecture's preoccupation with connection and complexity in architecture. In short; Modernism sought to group, zone and separate different spatial programs which were often translated into pure geometric forms, Post-Modernism reacted against the monotony of Modernism by juxtaposing exaggerated oppositions in form and spaces. Today, in the transitional phase from the late 20th century to the beginnings of the 21" century, contemporary architecture still struggles with the theme of connection and complexity in architecture. The idea of 'folded space' where previously unrelated elements are smoothly integrated within a continuous, but heterogeneous mixture seems to provide contemporary architects with an alternative to the purity of Modernism and the vulgar oppositions of Post-modernism. So the question contemporary architecture is faced with today is: How can architecture formulate a continuous mixture which still allows for variety complexity? The theory investigation concluded that the relevance of the folded space in the South African context could be the realization that through the folding or blurring of the relationship between previously unrelated programs, spaces and the building and its urban context, new and interesting social interactions might arise. The corner of Strand and Adderley Street on the station site proved an appropriate site on which to test this theory of 'folded space' on both a social and a spatial level. Although the site is situated on the most important intersection in the city it is known for its clear separations and barriers. The three levels in the center of the city, the underground, the ground and the above ground I station roof are separated both spatially and socially. The design project strives to experiment with ways in which to 'fold' the distinct spaces that are imminent, but repressed on this corner site in the heart of Cape Town's city. Through folding or connecting these spaces and programs that were previously separated the architecture will aim to act as a platform for social encounters amongst its users.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this creative project was to develop suitable design tools and language of behavioral analysis which could be employed in environmental design with regard to the related human behavior. The interaction of human activity and the built environment was considered as a common ground on which a basic architectural design process could be founded. To achieve a clearer understanding of the role of integrated graphic representation of the interaction of human behavior and environment, three concerned aspects were explored. These are: Pattern of the interaction between people and the built environment, Design tool and language, and Communication in the design process. As for the first aspect, three kinds of interactions of people and environment were distinguished. For the second aspect, design language was enriched with the exploration of integrated graphic representation of architectural space and human behavior. For the third aspect, the focus of graphic communication in the traditional design process was shifted from physical form to the pattern of interrelationship of people and environment. The design of the proposed International Student Center at Ball State University was completed to demonstrate the above aspects.<br>Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
STATIC DYSTOPIA One of the greatest transformations of our constructed physical spaces is taking place now and for a long time to come. The buildings we have created do not serve the needs and conditions of our time. They are exhausted of recurrent renovations and inexhaustible attempts to remodify already given forms, which result in expensive contracts. According to new EU-requirements scheduled 2019, no new buildings are allowed to consume more energy than they produce. And more restrictions concerning energy consumption of our existing buildings are raised around the western world to better match our present conditions regarding our decreasing resources. We have overbuilt ourselves with impractical structures that can not be modified for a natural change of our living conditions. They are too static and lack the possibility for rational reprogrammation. Instead of adapting them to future inevitable restruction, we make them even more static through passive housing. Relevant architectural intelligentsia seem to be a thing of the past where we can find numerous examples of buildings that allows adaptability and room for reprogrammation. Meanwhile temporary refugee camps turn into constant growing cities. Whole cities and landscapes are changed during a day due to natural activities. They too lack potential reprogrammability because of its poor and barbarous approach to human living conditions. Our civilization has all the tools for changing this situation by building in a format that calculates the process of reprogrammation of physical environments. This problematic is not as relevant in furniture or interior, but can still be used with great success to improve our homes and working places. Staticism, in contradiction to reprogrammability, have fundamental values that can not be questioned when used for its’ right purpose, and it is not my intention to replace it. With rational solutions containing the combination of them both we can, and will have to, revaluate the way we construct our physical surroundings. In my master degree project I am using my theory about reprogrammability to create a set of furniture that allows change in materiality, use, and function. This example should be considered as an exemplification of the thesis in a minor simplified scale rather than an object for actual use. The mounting of the furniture is based on a grid that allows easy assembly and reassembly of the various parts. The separated grids are shaped by their appurtenant c/c measurements (280 mm, 70 mm etc.), and are overlapping each other to allow construction symbiosis.

Full textAbstract:
Standardization, flexibility and transparency had been the eminent keywords
of Modern Architecture that have also provided material for the re-interpretation
and re-production of several discussions on concepts like &lsquo<br>form&rsquo<br>and &lsquo<br>function&rsquo<br>in
architecture. This study is an inquiry into a number of different interpretations that
scrutinize the intricate relationship between architectural form and function in the
20th century with respect to the concepts defined above.
The conceptualization of this thesis will be based on the assumption that
function is an inadequate and weak concept for the generation of architectural form. It is in this context that form is accepted as an architectural &ldquo<br>fragment&rdquo<br>that attains
its autonomy not from the strictures imposed by other architectural fragment like
&lsquo<br>function&rsquo<br>, &lsquo<br>structure&rsquo<br>, &lsquo<br>program&rsquo<br>and &lsquo<br>site<br>but from an infinite number of internal
relationships or &lsquo<br>design tools&rsquo<br>as we call.
The aim of this study is to propose a project for &ldquo<br>A Multi &ndash<br>Functional Hall
at METU&rdquo<br>which has the capability of expanding its limits in future, both physically
and conceptually<br>and investigate the &lsquo<br>design tools&rsquo<br>that will direct the steps of
transformations in the process of architectural production. Within this framework,
the investigation is concerned with the production of a flexible, unstable and
indeterminant building, focused on the concepts of &lsquo<br>transformation of space&rsquo<br>and
&lsquo<br>constant change&rsquo<br>, that could be re-designed and re-generated in respect to possible
future transformations in the program. Thus, architectural production is defined
merely as a &lsquo<br>step&rsquo<br>or a &lsquo<br>snap-shot&rsquo<br>, controlled by the design tools suggesting the
solutions for an ever-lasting transformation as the conditions change.

Gullström, Charlie. "Presence Design : Mediated Spaces Extending Architecture." Doctoral thesis, KTH, Arkitektur, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-24448.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a contribution to design-led research and addresses a readership in the fields of architecture as well as in media and communications. In juxtaposing the tools of the designer (e.g. drafting, prototyping, visual/textual/spatial forms of montage) with those of architectural theory, this thesis seeks to extend the disciplinary boundaries of architecture by observing its assimilation of other media practices. Its primary contribution is to architectural design and theory, and its aims are twofold: Firstly, this thesis applies the concepts of virtual and mediated space to architecture, proposing an extended architectural practice that assimilates the concept of remote presence. Through realized design examples as well as through the history and theory of related concepts, the thesis explores what designing mediated spaces and designing for presence entails for the practicing architect. As a fusion of architecture and media technology, video-mediated spaces facilitate collaborative practices across spatial extensions while simultaneously fostering novel and environmentally sustainable modes of communication. The impact of presence design on workplace design is examined. As an extended practice also calls for an extended discourse, a preliminary conceptual toolbox is proposed. Concepts are adapted from related visual practices and tested on design prototypes, which arise from the author’s extensive experience in designing work and learning spaces. Secondly, this thesis outlines presence design as a transdisciplinary aesthetic practice and discusses the potential contribution of architects to a currently heterogeneous research field, which spans media space research, cognitive science, (tele)presence research, interaction design, ubiquitous computing, second-order cybernetics, and computer-supported collaborative work. In spite of such diversity, design and artistic practices are insufficiently represented in the field. This thesis argues that presence research and its discourse is characterised by sharp disciplinary boundaries and thereby identifies a conceptual gap: presence research typically fails to integrate aesthetic concepts that can be drawn from architecture and related visual practices. It is an important purpose of this thesis to synthesize such concepts into a coherent discourse. Finally, the thesis argues that remote presence through the proposed synthesis of architectural and technical design creates a significantly expanded potential for knowledge sharing across time and space, with potential to expand the practice and theory of architecture itself. The author’s design-led research shows that mediated spaces can provide sufficient audiovisual information about the remote space(s) and other person(s), allowing the subtleties of nonverbal communication to inform the interaction. Further, in designing for presence, certain spatial features have an effect on the user’s ability to experience a mediated spatial extension, which in turn, facilitates mediated presence. These spatial features play an important role in the process through which trust is negotiated, and hence has an impact on knowledge sharing. Mediated presence cannot be ensured by design, but by acknowledging the role of spatial design in mediated spaces, the presence designer can monitor and, in effect, seek to reduce the ‘friction’ that otherwise may inhibit the experience of mediated presence. The notion of ‘friction’ is borrowed from a context of knowledge sharing in collaborative work practices. My expanded use of the term ‘design friction’ is used to identify spatial design features which, unaddressed, may be said to impose friction and thus inhibit and impact negatively on the experience of presence. A conceptual tool-box for presence design is proposed, consisting of the following design concepts: mediated gaze, spatial montage, active spectatorship, mutual gaze, shared mediated space, offscreen space, lateral and peripheral awareness, framing and transparency. With their origins in related visual practices these emerge from the evolution of the concept of presence across a range of visual cultures, illuminating the centrality of presence design in design practice, be it in the construction of virtual pictorial space in Renaissance art or the generative design experiments of prototypical presence designers, such as Cedric Price, Gordon Pask and numerous researchers at MIT Media Lab, Stanford Institute and Xerox PARC.<br>QC 20100909

We are in the irreversible arrow of time and space continuum, and we call them lived space and lived time, which are completely different from abstract time and space in mathematics and physics. At the same time we came to know that we can only understand the world within the limit of our cognitive process. In cognitive process acquisition of language is essential to our having the capacity to convert sensory information into digital form. So our knowledge and belief are selective and exclusive. Epi-genetic process in biology and linguistics placed an impact on the understanding of the repetitive productions of architectural spaces in the city. What we did and are doing in the architectural and urban design process is regarded as something epi-genetic. To succeed to the precedents means one of the evolutional processes of the urban space from the genetic point of view, and Contextualism is regarded as one pattern of symbiosis from the ecological point of view. Design of architectural and urban space cannot do away with models. In decision making process, typological alternative studies are useful for selecting the most favorable ideas. This operation is truly regarded as a simulating process in our model of thought, which is similar to the mathematical or physical point of view. In this process decision is ultimately dependent on the characteristics of our cognitive process. Every selection is done thorough the mesh of our experiences and knowledge. This cognitive process transforms pattern of our sensation from the highly informationized urban space reacently. Various media have gradually influenced our visual experiences in the city.<br>by Takashi Arioka.<br>M.S.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has focused on the development of a design process to strengthen the human-environment relationship through emphasizing the identity of place. By exploring and researching a comjnunity's cultural context, some sense of societal identity can be uncovered. However, it is in identifying a culture's values and traditions through its folklore that architects can begin to comprehend the meanings behind the symbols, stories, myths, music and rituals present within a community.Secondary research into the cultural-architectural relationship revealed what was coined in the 1960's and 70's by such scholars as Ian McHarg, Amos Rapoport, Christopher Alexander, and John Zeisel as "man-environment relationships." This research spoke of timelessness and connections of architecture to anthropology, archaeology and sociology.The question that arose from this investigation was, "How does one find the identity or spirit of a p/ace?" Through its people? Through its relics? What is missing as an important piece of the puzzle in the connection? Merely looking at a context or culture does not provide one with the underlying meanings of symbols, gestures, rituals, building practices and social values. One needs to see, listen, comprehend and internalize the culture and context of a place if one is to understand the culture in which the building exists. The connection with folklore and folklore studies became an avenue to be researched in finding this missing piece of the puzzle.The research method used to identify folklore within a given parameter was of the participatory-observation approach. Living for six months in the community started to unveil traits, customs and actions only primary research can reveal. Music, art, stories, rituals, and myths are the means by which people cannot otherwise explain values, thoughts and messages. These instruments. of folklore are the segways into understanding the people of a place. The primary and secondary sources of research set the stage for the conceptual design development of a civic structure within the cultural context of the community. What evolved from this architectural design experience is a scenario for this process to be integrated into architectural curricula at the college level. In creating designers that value unique identities of "place," the building of unique places respective of cultural context foster identity and meaning in an ever-changing global society.Architects have the challenge of designing in areas of the world that possess a variety of differing cultural contexts. How architects respond through creating the built environment in the 21St century will have lasting affects upon the identity of those cultures and their communities.<br>Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Skateboarding is growing in popularity more than ever and its further development will be sealed with its introduction to the Olympics in 2020. Stereotype of noisy, pot smoking outlaws is gradually vanishing, people enjoy watching skaters efforts and appreciate life they can bring to otherwise dull or unsafe areas. That results also in new challenges for the designers, not only in form of dedicated facilities- skateparks. As far as they are needed objects and their quality is crucial for safety of users and investment success they are also purpose built and therefore fake. They lack some of the most important aspects inscribed in skateboarders culture such as various, exciting and sometimes harsh city experience or improvisation and reinterpretation. Skateboarders will always oppose to use only dedicated areas or objects as they treat a whole city landscape as a playground.

Full textAbstract:
L’architecture change parce que le monde change. L’impact des enjeux environnementaux sur la pensée de l’architecture, sur les idées et sur les formes architecturales est le sujet de cette recherche. Le secteur du bâtiment est aujourd’hui considéré comme un levier important pour résoudre la crise environnementale. Cependant, des décalages s’affirment entre des impératifs urgents et règlementaires d’atteindre des objectifs quantitatifs précis, et la nécessité pour l’architecture d’être pensée en lien avec une nouvelle culture environnementale. Transition énergétique. Transition environnementale. Transition architecturale ? Dans quel processus de néomorphisation sommes-nous ? Ce travail de recherche concerne la période de transition engagée à la fin des années 1990 et dont les scénarios se construisent à horizon 2050. L’objectif est de définir des concepts et des outils, pour caractériser de façon ouverte et pluridisciplinaire la transition architecturale vers une architecture environnementale et fournir matière à penser. Les concepts de néomorphisme architectural et de Potentiel Néomorphique (PN) sont créés, pour répondre au contexte d’une transition en cours. Par analogie avec le néologisme désignant un mot nouveau qui renouvelle et enrichit le langage, le néomorphisme architectural désigne une forme nouvelle. Il est de la même façon issu d’un processus morphologique créatif, expérimental, riche et complexe, propre aux périodes de transition. Les Potentiels Néomorphiques de l’architecture environnementale qui en découlent, désignent les nouvelles idées à l’origine des nouvelles formes architecturales. La spécificité de ce travail de recherche repose sur une approche originale de la pensée de l’architecture, des idées aux formes et des formes aux idées, et sur la création d’espaces analogiques. Les espaces analogiques sont constitués à partir de la confrontation de trois corpus : un corpus d’idées (les PN), un corpus de formes architecturales manifestes et un corpus de formes artistiques subversives. Ils sont conçus pour nourrir le débat, questionner la notion de justesse et pour stimuler la pensée de l’architecture, la soustraire au prêt-à-penser et permettre l’impensé. Ces éléments théoriques sont réinvestis dans la réalisation de la maquette d’un thésaurus. Le « Thésaurus de l’architecture environnementale, des idées aux formes et des formes aux idées » est un outil de veille et de connaissance. Il permet de découvrir, s’approprier et penser l’architecture environnementale à travers un nouveau cadre descriptif et des espaces analogiques. Proposé sur le principe d’un outil collaboratif en ligne, il invite à une approche pluriculturelle de l’architecture et permet le partage d’un savoir vivant et réactif. La maquette du Thésaurus de l’architecture environnementale ouvre la voie à des prolongements pédagogiques orientés sur l’identification de nouvelles références. Son ambition est de contribuer à la construction d’une histoire contemporaine des idées et des formes de l’architecture environnementale<br>Architecture is changing because the world is changing.The impact of environmental issues on the way of thinking architecture, and also on architectural ideas and architectural forms, is the subject of this research.The building sector is now considered as an important tool in order to solve the environmental crisis. However, discrepancies are increasing between, on the one hand, urgent and regulatory requirements to achieve specific quantitative targets and, on the other, the need for architecture to be thought of in connection with a new environmental culture.Energy transition. Environmental transition. Architectural transition?How to define this neomorphisation process.This research concerns the transition period that started in the late 1990s and where the scenarios are projected up to the 2050s. The objective is to define concepts and tools, to characterize the architectural transition towards an environmental architecture, in an open and multidisciplinary manner, and to provide food for thought.The concepts of “architectural neomorphism” and “Neomorphic Potential” (PN) are created, in response to the context of a transition in progress. By analogy with the neologism which designates a new word that renews and enriches language, architectural neomorphism indicates a new form. In the same way, it results from a morphological process, creative, experimental, rich and complex, specific to transition periods. The resulting “Neomorphic Potentials” of environmental architecture describe the ideas which are behind the new architectural forms.The specific quality of this research work is based on an original approach to architectural thought, from ideas to forms and from forms to ideas, and on the creation of “analogical spaces”. They are composed as a result of the confrontation of three corpora : a corpus of ideas (PN), a corpus of manifest architectural forms and a corpus of subversive artistic forms. They are designed to active debate, to question the concept of accuracy and to stimulate our thinking about architecture, to escape standard ways of thinking and to promote outside-the-box thinking.These theoretical elements are reinvested in making a model of a thesaurus.The "Thesaurus of environmental architecture, from ideas to forms and from forms to ideas" is both a monitoring tool and a resource centre. It gives the opportunity to discover, to take on board and to think environmental architecture through a new descriptive framework using analogical spaces. Offered on the principle of an online collaborative tool, it calls for a multicultural approach to architecture so that knowledge can be shared in a lively, interactive way.The model of the Thesaurus of environmental architecture opens up the way for new teaching methods directed towards the identification of new references. Its ambition is to contribute to a contemporary history of ideas and forms of environmental architecture

A spontaneous act is done because of a sudden urge to do something. I am interested in creating a space that exists with the purpose of hosting opportunities and action that are not predefined. My point of departure is a green area in Axelsberg where I have created a proposal for a type of public space, that differs from current ones. In my process I have actively worked with the site by physically being there to experience it. I have transformed the space in various ways both by combining improvisational and performative techniques with more planned actions. Afterwards, I have analyzed and learned from people’s reactions and behaviors towards the changes.

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1997.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 89-90).<br>One of the primary roles of architecture is to control the environment at the service of a building's inhabitants. Thermal qualities are a significant factor in the overall experience one has inside and outside a building. However, thermal issues are not often considered within the context of the architectural design process, resulting in buildings that are not responsive to thermal concerns. Heat has the potential to influence the form of architectural space. The methods by which architects can use thermal energy as a formative element in design is open to further exploration. In this thesis, I explore new methods for architects to describe thermal intentions and visualize thermal qualities of design proposals. Beyond the economic issue of energy conservation, the thermal qualities of building spaces affect the quality of human inhabitation. The capability to describe and visualize heat would allow architects to adjust the building's thermal characteristics to modify a person's experience of the place. With a more complete understanding of thermal qualities of their building proposals, architects would be able to design for the complete gamut of thermal sensations that humans can experience. What is needed is a working vocabulary that describes the range of thermal conditions possible in buildings. In this work, I describe a vocabulary for a building's thermal qualities using four sets of measurable, opposing terms: open versus protected, bright versus dim, warm versus cool, and active versus still. Next, I then articulate the thermal qualities of a co-housing project to create a thermal experience that enhances the community aspects of co-housing. Using a variety of visualization techniques, I verify that the design proposal is achieving the intended thermal goals. Using the knowledge gained from this and future thermal design exercises, we can begin to reflect on the general relationships between thermal phenomena and physical building forms, learning about the thermal qualities of architecture.<br>Jeffrey Feldgoise.<br>M.Arch.

The first of NASA's high-level strategic goals is to extend and sustain human activities across the solar system. As the United States moves into the post-Shuttle era, meeting this goal is more challenging than ever. There are several desired outcomes for this goal, including development of an integrated architecture and capabilities for safe crewed and cargo missions beyond low Earth orbit. NASA's Flexible Path for the future human exploration of space provides the guidelines to achieve this outcome.
Designing space system architectures to satisfy the Flexible Path starts early in design, when a downselection process works to reduce the broad spectrum of feasible system architectures into a more refined set that contains a handful of alternatives that are to be considered and studied further in the detailed design phases. This downselection process is supported by what is referred to as architecture space exploration (ASE). ASE is a systems engineering process which generates the design knowledge necessary to enable informed decision-making.
The broad spectrum of potential system architectures can be impractical to evaluate. As the system architecture becomes more complex in its structure and decomposition, its space encounters a factorial growth in the number of alternatives to be considered. This effect is known in the literature as combinatorial explosion. For the Flexible Path, the development of new space system architectures can occur over the period of a decade or more. During this time, a variety of changes can occur which lead to new requirements that necessitate the development of new technologies, or changes in budget and schedule. Developing comprehensive and quantitative design knowledge early during design helps to address these challenges.
Current methods focus on a small number of system architecture alternatives. From these alternatives, a series of 'one off' -type of trade studies are performed to refine and generate more design knowledge. These small-scale studies are unable to adequately capture the broad spectrum of possible architectures and typically use qualitative knowledge. The focus of this research is to develop a systems engineering method for system-level ASE during pre-phase A design that is rapid, exhaustive, flexible, traceable, and quantitative.
Review of literature found a gap in currents methods that were able to achieve this research objective. This led to the development of the Set Theory-Influenced Architecture Space Exploration (STASE) methodology. The downselection process is modeled as a decision-making process with STASE serving as a supporting systems engineering method. STASE is comprised of two main phases: system decomposition and system synthesis.
During system decomposition, the problem is broken down into three system spaces. The architecture space consists of the categorical parameters and decisions that uniquely define an architecture, such as the physical and functional aspects. The design space contains the design parameters that uniquely define individual point designs for a given architecture. The objective space holds the objectives that are used in comparing alternatives.
The application of set theory across the system spaces enables an alternative form of representing system alternatives. This novel application of set theory allows the STASE method to mitigate the problem of combinatorial explosion. The fundamental definitions and theorems of set theory are used to form the mathematical basis for the STASE method.
A series of hypotheses were formed to develop STASE in a scientific way. These hypotheses are confirmed by experiments using a proof of concept over a subset of the Flexible Path. The STASE method results are compared against baseline results found using the traditional process of representing individual architectures as the system alternatives. The comparisons highlight many advantages of the STASE method. The greatest advantage is that STASE comprehensively explores the architecture space more rapidly than the baseline. This is because the set theory-influenced representation of alternatives has a summation growth with system complexity in the architecture space. The resultant option subsets provide additional design knowledge that enables new ways of visualizing results and comparing alternatives during early design. The option subsets can also account for changes in some requirements and constraints so that new analysis of system alternatives is not required.
An example decision-making process was performed for the proof of concept. This notional example starts from the entire architecture space with the goal of minimizing the total cost and the number of launches. Several decisions are made for different architecture parameters using the developed data visualization and manipulation techniques until a complete architecture was determined. The example serves as a use-case example that walks through the implementation of the STASE method, the techniques for analyzing the results, and the steps towards making meaningful architecture decisions.

The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.<br>Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-206).<br>This dissertation focuses on computational strategies for incorporating structural considerations into the earliest stages of the architectural design process. Because structural behavior is most affected by geometric form, the greatest potential for structural efficiency and a harmony of design goals occurs when global formal design decisions are made, in conceptual design. However, most existing computational tools and approaches lack the features necessary to take advantage of this potential: architectural modeling tools address geometry in absence of performance, and structural analysis tools require an already determined geometrical form. There is a need for new computational approaches that allow designers to explore the structural design space, which links geometric variation and performance, in a free and interactive manner. The dissertation addresses this need by proposing three new design space strategies. The first strategy, an interactive evolutionary framework, balances creative navigation of the design space with a focus on performance. The original contributions of this strategy center on enhanced opportunities for designer interaction and control. The second strategy introduces structural grammars, which allow for the formulation of broad and diverse design spaces that span across typologies. This strategy extends existing work in geometry-based shape grammars by incorporating structural behavior in novel ways. Finally, the third strategy is a surrogate modeling approach that approximates the design space to enable fast and responsive design environments. This strategy contributes new ways for non-experts to use this machine-learning-based methodology in conceptual design. These three complementary strategies can be applied independently or in combination, and the dissertation includes a discussion about possibilities and techniques for integrating them. Finally, the dissertation concludes by reflecting on its potential impact on design in practice, and by outlining important areas for future work.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program, 1999.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 108-119).<br>The fundamental issues in any discussion of a proposed system architecture must involve the relative quality of the architecture when compared to other proposals and the architecture's ability to satisfy the needs and abilities of the customer, the system environment and the system developer. While the latter issue can often be easily addressed through standard system architecture methods, the former comparative issue can often be quite difficult due to some of the uncertainty and ambiguity in the· relative merit of system architecture factors. In large government-funded space system architectures, which often span years of development/production and cost tens of billions of dollars, this difficulty is especially apparent and highlights the need for an effective method for comparative evaluation. This thesis research has developed a unique tool by which comparisons of system architectures ca.n be made. This technique, which is a. fuzzy set extension of the Axiomatic Design method, has the ability to incorporate and capture both technical and non-technical parameters that are vital to the comparison process. This tool is effectively applied to architectural proposals for the human exploration of Mars. As supporting objectives, the research examines the structure of advanced technology developments, explores the affects of the government budgetary process and comments on the government/contractor managerial relationship as they pertain to space system architectures.<br>by Robert Hanson Smith.<br>S.M.

The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. [83]-[86]).<br>The need for "flexibility" of architecture has been increasing as recent social demands are rapidly changing. However, many buildings designed in the name of flexibility are blocky, boring, and actually quite inflexible because of incomplete systems, or simple bad planning. A space is designed and built to fulfill a certain request, and in order to perform properly, the space needs to be equipped with the proper systems such as lighting, acoustics, structural system, etc. At the same time, the segregation of functions, or the blind obedience of spatial organization to functions can potentially eliminate the true multi-functionality of a space. The double interpretations of spatial flexibility-- for function, for adaptation-- comprises a primary concern for me. On March 16, 2007, Junior High School 13 (M013) in Harlem, Manhattan was considered by the city of New York for closing. Under the existing education segregation problem in Manhattan, the shutting down of a school in Harlem does not only mean a failure of one institution, but it would further result in deterioration of nearby schools as a result of increased overcrowding. Additionally, considering the fact that the neighborhood school used to function as a community space in Harlem, the absence of M013 would make the community condition worse. Because of this, I propose a community-centered school by associating it with the concept of flexibility. The flexibility in this new architecture can be achieved by effectively arranging spaces and by manipulating the relationship between spaces. The flexibility does not result from the interchangeability or variability of the space, but from the changing the relationship between functions.<br>by Young-Ju Kim.<br>M.Arch.

By exploring tangible and abstract elements, I compose different atmospheres. Atmosphere is the central aesthetic category in my work, and creating an emotional experience through space is my intention. The spaces are inspired by a magic realist novel. I transpose the text into images, to then sculpt spaces with geometry, colour and light. I write new stories and descriptions about these spaces as I imagine the atmospheres to be experienced. Transitions are fundamental to my project: the transition of Latin-American references within magic realism and emotional architecture, to my own context at this moment in Sweden; the transition from text to space (and vice versa); and the transitions between spaces in my composition. These are my apparatuses in sculpting the emotional and magic space.<br><p>The full thesis contains copyrighted material which has been removed in the published version.</p>

It is well-known that daylight is a fundamental element to experiencean architectural space. In spite of that, there are limitedresources that consider how to form that space based ondaylight. This paper constitutes ‘Breaking the Box’ as a newconcept, which can be taken by architects, lighting designersand urban planners in parallel to their daylight design techniquesas a tool in design practice.‘Breaking the Box’ has its origin in the destruction of the boxconcept, a design method of the modern architecture pioneerFrank Lloyd Wright. Thus, it is an attempt to develop Wright’stheory in relation to daylight. The paper investigates severalqualitative and quantitative sub-tools in case studies andexperimental models, exploring a variety of configurations inspatial relationships and form to assess different characteristicsof daylight in residential environments.The aim of the study is to understand and control the penetrationof daylight qualities – considering both diffused skylightand direct sunlight – within a space in different latitudes.Thus, preserving the view and making the quality of daylightthe founding element shaping architecture by breaking thebox. The study revealed a strong relationship between daylightqualities and architectural form. As a result, it is evidencethat daylight does shape architecture. When it comes to incorporatingdaylight, form does not follow function but formand function are one.

Discovery of the linear perspective of the Renaissance is momentous in terms of the appearance of a new &ldquo<br>way of seeing&rdquo<br>that is central to the &ldquo<br>subject&rdquo<br>and emergence of a &ldquo<br>subjective&rdquo<br>&ldquo<br>way of representing&rdquo<br>the world. With the assumption that &ldquo<br>perspective&rdquo<br>is a cultural constituent of the &ldquo<br>Renaissance paradigm&rdquo<br>that generates the representational notions of art and architecture, perspective is considered as a &ldquo<br>convention&rdquo<br>and a &ldquo<br>mode of representation&rdquo<br>that has been influential until the &ldquo<br>paradigm shifts&rdquo<br>in the nineteenth and twentieth century. With the influx of the modernist avant-gardes, &ldquo<br>subjective&rdquo<br>linear perspective is replaced with the &ldquo<br>instruments&rdquo<br>of the new paradigm, and &ldquo<br>parallel projection&rdquo<br>becomes the mere tool for the representation and production of art and architecture introducing a new &ldquo<br>objective&rdquo<br>structure. The aim of this study is to reawaken and reconsider perspective through the &ldquo<br>conventions&rdquo<br>and the &ldquo<br>aberrations&rdquo<br>it reproduces. In this context, the course in the curriculum of METU Department of Architecture entitled Arch524 Architecture and Different Modes of Representation is covered as a &ldquo<br>pretext&rdquo<br>for this study. The theoretical framework and the structure of the course has a great impact on this study, since the course reconsider Renaissance perspective and its architectural production in a new context<br>within the modern architectural space of METU Faculty of Architecture Building. Following the traces of the selective works from the final exhibitions of the course, creating &ldquo<br>illusionistic spaces,&rdquo<br>and recalling the subject &ldquo<br>participation,&rdquo<br>it is questioned how perspective is &ldquo<br>exhibited&rdquo<br>and how the architectural space is reproduced.
