Full textAbstract:
One of the chief characteristics of a high-rise building is its verticality. However, it seems that most high-rise buildings do not directly pursue the architecture of verticality. Moreover, verticality is rarely perceived within this building type. This thesis investigates the potential of verticality in a residential high-rise building.
Together with the aspect of verticality, the thesis pursues an idea that even in a residential high-rise, the sense of community that typically exists in low-rise settlements on the ground and other connections to the outside can be at least partially preserved.
In summary, the proposal aims the architecture to celebrate the verticality of the high-rise as a part of the skyline, expressing the verticality through its facade. For the dwellers, sky gardens offer a sense of verticality with constructed views connecting the outside world. Six two-story-apartments adjoin the sky garden with a double height living room suggesting the apartments in a high rise shouldn't be flats. This double height vertical space extends into the balcony spaces suggesting a local verticality at the apartment level.Master of Architecture

The life of modern work is complex. What once entailed simple activities encapsulated within simple and hierarchically designed spaces has evolved into a highly volatile and complex organism. Businesses and workers are increasingly mobile, unpredictable and collaborative, requiring new types of spaces to correspond to new methods of working. While there has been much recent interest in the design of the workplace and on flexible, efficient and wired office environments, this focus has lead to the development of innovative interior systems and infrastructures that are typically inserted into rather generic architecture. This schism between complex program and simple space is most evident in the typology of the tall office building. Repetitive stacked slabs built to conservative economic programs create appallingly generic environments. In other words, the skyscraper is typically conceived as a homogenous container for heterogeneous activity. This thesis hypothesizes that the typology of the skyscraper can be redesigned to accommodate a more complex series of spaces designed around the needs of modern office culture, and that this complexity can be manifested in architectural form. This is accomplished using a multipronged research methodology. The first component is an analysis of the spatial types found in the office. The second component is a new inhabitational model that accommodates multiple occupational modes. The third component is a flexible architectural system that accommodates sectional variation and organizational change through on-site maintenance and reconstruction. The fourth component utilizes emergent technologies in architecture to rethink the skin of the office building as a dynamic and permeable object that incorporates multifunctional environmental buffer spaces. These intersecting agendas are manifested in the form of a sixty floor office tower located in midtown Manhattan. The end result of this process is not a focused research inquiry into a singular agenda but is rather" a prototype that innovates at many scales, and does so in a way that fits within economic necessities of large scale office development.

There has been a desire for new and unique design/environment such as by returning to the designs of Korean classic style, inviting star architects or holding international competitions. But, the reality of their design does not really express any new voice. Typical floor -plan is multiplied in vertical, served three or four units, connected by weird mirror-surrounded elevators and emergency stairs. Small and narrow corridors cannot really offer any proper space for social interaction. Let's talk more about the inside of an apartment housing complex. First of all, even though there is trash in front of the apartment building, nobody picks it up until the cleaning woman does something. This is the irony of high-rise apartment housing. No one wants to behave as if they own the place. After parking their cars in the lot, people try to go to their private space as soon as possible, before they meet someone. That's why the elevator hallway or inside of the elevator is the most uncomfortable space in the apartment building. There is no longer any kind of classic alley as in old villages which was a buffer area between public and private space. Without a buffer, combination of public and private space, there are just two extremely different areas, public and private spaces in apartment complexes. The thesis proposes a high-rise residential building by means of rethinking circulation and infrastructure. This new type of a high-rise residential building enables residents to have a buffer zone between public and private space with a specific elements such as a elevator, a stair, or more than that. This buffer zone in high-rise building helps to activate a semi-public space as a real neighbor.

This thesis explores an application of a rule-based method to a practical architecture design. It uses shape grammar, a paradigm of generating designs in a specific style by using shape tokens (architectural elements) and rules of transforming between them. If a shape grammar can be made for mass production design that needs many repetitious units with slight differences, it would be very productive and valuable in the context of professional architectural practice. As an example, this thesis proposes a shape grammar for generating apartment plans in the style of Mies van der Rohe's high-rise projects that he made in the first half of twentieth century. Through this grammar, alternative apartment plans with different volumetric schemes can be developed rapidly for the given site, and allow an architect to quickly evaluate different possibilities of a building's mass and layout. Such a grammar also can be a good pedagogical tool, and an architectural student can use it to study and understand Mies van der Rohe's apartment designs. The thesis evaluates the advantages and the disadvantages of this shape grammar in the context of professional practice, and discusses the possibilities of similar grammars that could be developed for other architectural styles.

Thesis (M. Arch)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1987.Includes bibliographical references (p. 45).
The idea of low-rise high-density urban housing is based on two fundamental objectives: 1) To provide higher density by intensifying land use as urban growth escalates at an unprecedented rate. 2) To reconsider the essential qualities of house - a house with a garden, light and air. Modern high-rise apartments provide greater density and improved living conditions in terms of proper sanitation, electricity, and open space. But it lacks individuality and promotes a high degree of anonymity leading to limited social contact between neighbors. It dissociates the house from the ground and creates ambiguous open space between buildings. Single-family detached houses provides individuality and open space but detachment is not only meaningless but highly inefficient in terms of land use The courtyard house provides an alternative solution by combining advantages of individual house and high density housing. Its introverted nature allow dense clustering while maintaining a private open space. The design takes this traditionally horizontal aggregation of dwellings one step further to increase its potential density. It proposes a vertical courtyard house while maintaining access to light and air, visual and acoustical privacy, efficiency of construction, and a revitalization of street life and open space.

Wong, Siu. "Investigating the performance of drainage stack of high rise buildings in Hong Kong." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2014. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/62512/.
Full textAbstract:
The design and proper operation on the above-ground drainage systems can be challenging in a densely populated city like Hong Kong. Discharge loading imposed to a single vertical stack can be large enough that those systems without a proper design, installation or maintenance would suffer problems such as backflow of foul water, contaminated foul air, or even soil waste to the sanitary fitments at lower floors. Any of these nuisances can be regarded as failure because the soil and waste water cannot be properly disposed away from a building. The risk of such a failure would be higher in densely occupied tall buildings. SARS outbreak in 2003 revealed that the consequence of failing to properly manage the drainage system can be as serious as a fatal disaster. The contaminated aerosols, with water droplets with the microorganisms are fatal to human like the SARS virus since it will flow back to the living environment. This research aims at proposing advanced design and monitoring practices upon the drainage system and its components, to minimize the risk of failure and nuisances occurrence. A brief review on several types of failure will be gone through. Besides, a simulation model has been established to predict the air pressure in drainage system. The result will be compared with those from real 1:1 test-rig experiments. This assists the development of innovative inventions of system components such as 8S twin drainage stack which is designed to self-balance air pressure generated by falling water discharge in drainage stack. It ensures better protection of water seal in traps. Smart trap is available to enlarge retention time of water seal due to evaporation. Regarding the management of existing installed drainage system, a protocol has been proposed to troubleshoot the nuisances. It includes remote-control air pressure monitoring and statistical analysis with the development of probability density functions to decide future remedial engineering measures. All of these are integrated as a risk management model aimed to reduce the risk of occurrence of the nuisances.

This thesis examines the potential application of the L-shaped courtyard house in an American context. Privacy for the dwelling and its grounds is a key issue to be addressed. It is shown than a traditional single-family detached house will provide sufficient privacy on lots of one-quarter acre or more. However, an alternate solution must be developed in higher-density applications of one-eighth acre or less. The principal design elements desired in a traditional home are identified and incorporated into an alternate design solution. The courtyard house is proposed as an alternate and it is shown that, contrary to popular belief, such a house form can function in temperate climates without excessive heat loss. The reason for prizing an L-shaped courtyard house over other variations in a high-density application is explained in light of privacy and solar access issues. A detailed discussion of design elements in an L-shaped application include: inter-unit privacy issues, the courtyard size and passive solar heating applications, the dwelling layout and interior zoning, entry location, Circulation, facade treatment, parking, grouping or clustering, and expansion potential. It is demonstrated that the L-shaped design will satisfy American standards within a high-density urban context of eight to twelve units per acre.

The recent generation of tall buildings in Asia have been appropriated from the West with little adaptation. With no understanding of the forces that have generated this building form, Asia embraces the high-rise as an expression of modernity. The intention of this theses is to examine the instrumental potential for designing vertical and incremental built space, free from the rhetoric of political and economic identities. This thesis proposes a design as a critique of the Asian high rise and as a means to investigate the following : -- the conditions that promote or limit accessibility in the high rise; -- the continuity of public access in urban territory, -- the mitigation of exclusive programs and the design for a range of activities; -- the use of structural systems as intrinsic to the organization of the design; -- the design for potential changeability within this building type.

Li, Chenguang. "Liveability of high-rise housing estates : case studies in the inner city of Tianjin, China." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2013. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/59426/.
Full textAbstract:
In the past ten years, China’s urban population has increased rapidly. High-rise housing estates have been widely accepted as a ‘sustainable’ and ‘effective’ solution to urban housing shortage. However, high-rise housing has long been under debate with critics claiming liveability problems to be one of the reasons behind the decline of such development form in the mid-1970s. China presents a different context in the research on high-rise housing from other developed countries. This study focuses on an inquiry into the liveability of high-rise housing estates through investigating residents’ experience and evaluation on current high-rise living in the context of a Chinese city. The main contribution of this research to the existing literature is considered to be two-fold: Firstly, in the theoretical dimension, this research fills the research gap on the liveability study of high-rise housing in China, by establishing a resident-centred theoretical framework on the liveability of high-rise housing estates with a specific focus on housing planning and design in the Chinese context; Secondly, in the practical dimension, this research presents an empirical study on the liveability issues of current high-rise housing development in China, and provides implications for future planning and design of high-rise housing in high density urban areas. This study adopts a research strategy based on an embedded multiple-case study integrated with historical analysis, qualitative and quantitative survey to dissect the liveability of four high-rise housing estates in the inner city of Tianjin, China, with each representing one typical design type. This study provides an understanding on the impact of the macro-context on the development of high-rise housing estates and residents’ perception of the liveable residential environment; it explores the residential environment features and residents’ actual experience of high-rise living; it acquires residents’ liveability evaluation of high-rise housing estates, which not only reveals the liveability strengths and weaknesses of current high-rise housing development, but also discovers the measurement, indicators and dimensions of the liveability of high-rise housing estates, and provide implications for both theoretical research and practical development.

Full textAbstract:
Across the world, it is becoming increasingly obvious that we must change the way we live as human beings. Our population is over seven billion, and the natural world simply cannot sustain this large of a population unless we learn to live within its means. Buildings, the structures that house us and provide us with shelter every day, are responsible for nearly half of the energy consumption across the United States (eai.gov, 2008). As cities continue to grow and available land diminishes, buildings will only get taller and consume even more energy. This energy requires vast amounts of water, so as our population grows, we are using more energy and more water, two of the most critical components of human prosperity. Renewable and sustainable energy production is now more of a reality than ever, especially as people become aware of the impending shortage of natural resources.I propose to offer a modified renewable energy source in a new environment. The use of hydropower turbines for renewable energy generation is something common to many places across the globe, but the use of hydropower turbines in a building is not. In this paper I propose a system that utilizes greywater from high-rise residential buildings to create energy with hydropower turbines at the base of the building. Calculations show the system can produce energy, but improvements and changes need to be considered for this to be a commercially viable renewable energy source.

Full textAbstract:
In China, huge population and limited arable land resources constitute one of the basic contradictions in urban mass housing design. As a stereotype, medium-rise apartment buildings were constructed to attain high densities all over the country during the 1980s. The extensive use of the housing typologies caused problems in many aspects. This reflects the poverty of architectural solutions and the consequences of the socio-economic systems of the country.Focusing on the aspects of single building design and site planning, this thesis analyses the methods to reach high building densities in medium-rise mass housing design in Beijing from 1979 to 1990. The study is conducted through the review of the socio-economic issues and the introduction of mass housing design of the country. It intends to see the interrelationships between ways to attain high building densities and the socio-economic backgrounds.
The research indicates that methods to reach high building densities are many. Ways used in Beijing during 1980s were based on the socio-economic system at the time being. These ways are not appropriate in terms of the unique urban context of the city and could be thus replaced by others.

Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of Built Environment, 2005. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/22498.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to investigate the relationship between the provision of spatial order and perceived sense of community in high-rise housing developments in Korea from a socio-spatial and architectural perspective. It also considers relationships between the perception of neighbourhood, provision of facilities, design aspects, and socio-economic characteristics and sense of community. The study uses a questionnaire survey as the main research instrument conducted across four case studies in Bundang new town, in metropolitan Seoul, Korea. Two of the cases were selected as having a high provision of spatial order and the other two low provision according to the concepts of Altman (1975) and Newman (1972, 1975). Quantitative analysis is carried out using the Kruskal-Wallis/Mann-Whitney test and Spearman???s rank correlation to identify differences and correlations between cases. The results indicate that there is no clear evidence that a sense of community has a direct relationship with the provision of spatial order in the selected cases. However, in the high provision cases outdoor common spaces appear to have a role in contributing to social interaction. Among Buckner???s (1988) three sub-variables of his concept of neighbourhood cohesion, ???neighbouring??? appears to be more associated with the provision of spatial order rather than ???attraction-to-neighbourhood??? or ???psychological sense of community.??? A greater number of opportunities for social interactions occur in an intermediate space located between private dwelling units and public open space in cases with a high provision of spatial order. However, this is likely to be due to the location of shared facilities and their frequency of use. In terms of the relationship between design and a sense of community, ???landscaping??? was found to be the most important variable, followed by the ???design of streets/footpath??? and ???facilities for children???, ???parking???, and ???recreational activities???. Despite the lack of a clear relationship between design and a sense of community, a strong demand was found for improved outdoor amenity and greater provision of facilities. Socio-economic status appears not to be a significant factor directly influencing the sense of community however, age and the existence of children are associated with the perception of neighbourhood.

This thesis starts with the interest in the undefined open spaces of high-density low-rise (HDLR) residential areas in Tokyo. In these spaces, one can witness numerous examples of overlapping public and private uses. For example, public streets are often appropriated as private gardens by a subtle but prominent gesture by residents to place many potted plantations on the street. These phenomenons contribute to the vitality and safety of the neighborhood, as well as reflecting an effective use of space in a limited inner-city environment. The aim of this thesis is to propose a housing development strategy that nourishes these qualities of the HDLR residential environment. The proposal seeks to provide an alternative to prevailing high-rise developments, to allow for more flexibility between public and private spaces. This thesis is a hypothetical and academic exercise, which builds up on premises based on current statistics and characteristics of the project site. The design maintains and starts with the inherited urban fabric of the HDLR site, and proposes an individual renewal process of houses that collectively metamorphosize into an environment with greater sharing of public and private space. This neighborhood will continue to evolve as the population and lifestyles of residents change in the future.

Full textAbstract:
High-rise residential tower is an inevitable and prevalent building type in high-density areas such as China. Because of the large population such buildings accommodate, improving the quality of people's lives in these towers has significant meaning. One of the important problems in such environments is the loss of identity of individual homes. This occurs because living spaces cannot fit individual families' unique and changing physical and spiritual needs. People can identify their lives and express their individual values in their homes in only the most meager ways. Consequently, people and their communities suffer deeply for the loss of identity of individual homes.The first focus of this thesis is to bring the question of individual control into light with the issue of identity of individual homes. Identity of any built environment results from the interplay of both shared values and individual values. In an identifiable and accommodating environment, both value sets should be in balance, over time. In high-rise residential towers, individual values are hardly presented because of the lack of individual control. So the radical way to establish identity of individual homes is to enable individual control in the building process.The second focus of this thesis is a study in architectural design of the distribution of control in such high-rise environments. Two kinds of individual controls are assumed and distributed: the control of the dwelling layouts and the control of dwelling unit facades. To enable these tow configurations of parts to be subject to individual control, propositions for setting up a new balance between centrally controlled parts and individually controlled parts in high-rise residential towers are put forward.To demonstrate these propositions, a specific high-rise residential tower in Beijing is redesigned to the solution of technical problems, regulatory issues and conventions when control is distributed. Individual control of both the dwelling layouts and the facades are simulated in a methodical way.Finally, notes about supportive products and management techniques, broader developments in other types of high-rise buildings, and the cultivation of shared values out of individual values are offered.Department of Architecture

Besides the technical availability, the representational qualities of the new materials transform this production based character of the free-faç
ade to a more representational character as an object-faç
ade. Finally, the study investigates how the technical knowledge inherent in the new faç
ade systems gives the authority,in formation process of faç

ades is often based on the working principles and marketing attitudes of faç

Full textAbstract:
Through the story of Kathputli Colony, thiss essay; Creating Urbanity – Destroying Cultures, Relationships Between Public and Private in Kathputli Colony, New Delhi, India, discusses various degrees of public and private in urban architecture. It compares the architecture of the former Kathputli Colony with the new architecture proposed for the site. Striving to become a “world class city”, Delhi has, through the Master Plan 2021, decided to raze all informal settlements and replace them with high-rises. Kathputli Colony was such an informal settlement; an urban environment built up by an architecture that responded to the needs and economic means of its inhabitants. Its design was the result of network connections and personal relationships merging public and private life. The essay concludes that Kathputli Colony consisted of a heterogeneous architecture, that had more in common with pre-industrial urbanism and village-architecture, than with the modernist architecture of the high-rises with its clear separation between public and private, work and leisure.

Previous issue date: 2015-01-30With the density of large cities and the shortage of urban space, the right-rise buildings has become the rule rather than the exception; and this rule applies in hospitals increasingly frequent way. Considering the complexity of flows and the variety of processes that are routinely developed in a hospital, in what ways skyscraper buildings began to affect both the architectural design and the use management of these buildings? This dissertation aims to contribute to better understanding this issue through a referenced and comparative study on three significant cases of vertical hospitals, two in São Paulo and one in London. The cases were select from a large list of works studied, and given a set of objective criteria, defined by the survey.
Com o adensamento das grandes metrópoles e a escassez de espaço urbano, a verticalização edilícia passou a ser uma regra e não mais a exceção; esta regra aplica-se nos hospitais de maneira cada vez mais frequente. Considerando-se a complexidade dos fluxos e a variedade de processos que são cotidianamente desenvolvidos em um Hospital, de que maneiras essa verticalização passou a afetar tanto o projeto arquitetônico como a gestão de uso desses edifícios? Esta dissertação de mestrado se propõe a colaborar para melhor compreender essa questão por meio de um estudo referenciado e comparativo sobre três casos significativos de hospitais verticais, sendo dois em São Paulo e um em Londres. Os casos foram selecionados a partir de uma ampla listagem de obras estudadas, e atendendo um conjunto de critérios objetivos, definidos pela pesquisa.

This thesis choreographs the procession around and within a tower. An alternating sequence of compression and expansion of space creates a rich spatial experience. Each moment along the sequence is meant to complement or contrast the others, exaggerating their effect. The tower's form is designed by producing and then selecting from a series of potential solutions. Each iteration is guided by the aforementioned sequence of spatial conditions.Master of Architecture

Thesis is a study of architectural skyscraper „EVO“ (experimental high-rise building ) in Brno. Building site is on the corner the street Veveří and Šumavská. The objective of the study is to create a high-rise building near the center of Brno. Building contains administrative, gallery and luxury housing. The proposal is based on the tradition of architecture in Brno – clean lines and simple shapes. Another inspiration is green. The green place arises around the skyscraper, but also inside skyscraper. It becomes a natural part of its. In other words : the green grows through the building.

Full textAbstract:
L’architecture de grande hauteur appelle un ensemble de mythologies urbaines et de constructions historiques qui, indéfiniment, valorisent sa charge symbolique ou débattent de sa définition, de son lieu de naissance et de sa place dans le cours de la modernité. Le gratte-ciel, la tour sont des objets de fascination souvent pris dans la trame de grands récits qui, en relevant les manifestations les plus éclatantes, omettent les traces mineures qui sont autant d’écho fondamentaux de l’émission et de la réception de l’architecture, susceptibles de rééquilibrer les discours. Grâce à un large corpus d’œuvres et de sources, ce travail de recherche a l’ambition de comprendre la situation idéologique et urbaine de l’architecture de grande hauteur à Paris, de son émergence dans l’opinion française en 1893 (exposition internationale de Chicago) à sa condamnation au début des années 1970, sous l’action de critères convergents : la circulaire du 21 mars 1973 d’Olivier Guichard (Tours et barres) et l’arrêt des tours proclamé un an plus tard par le président de la République Valéry Giscard d’EstaingHigh-rise architecture raises a whole set of urban mythologies and historical constructions that, indefinitely, value its symbolic dimensions or debate its definition, its place of birth and its place in modern times. The skyscraper, the tower are objects of fascination often taken in the frame of great narratives which, by noting the most striking manifestations, omit the minor traces which are so fundamental echoes of the emission and the reception of architecture, likely to rebalance the speeches. Thanks to a large body of works and sources, this research project aims to understand the ideological and urban situation of high-rise architecture in Paris, its emergence in the French opinion in 1893 (World Fair of Chicago) to its condemnation in the early 1970s, under the action of convergent criteria: Olivier Guichard's Circular of March 21, 1973 (Tours and Barres) and the stop of the towers proclaimed a year later by the president of the Republic Valéry Giscard d'Estaing

Full textAbstract:
The concept of 'sustainability'
came into question during the last few decades world-wide. As one of the main source of carbon emission, construction industry is also affected by this movement. High-rise buildings which became proliferative components of construction industry dominate today'
s urban centers. Although they are defended as being inherently energy efficient by some people, specially designed sustainable high-rise building examples emerged after the sustainability movement all over the world. This dissertation examines the role of the service core configuration on the sustainability of high-rise buildings. In this context, the effect of different core types and locations on the energy consumption of high-buildings is evaluated. For this respect, sixteen alternative configuration models with central, end and split core types are determined as the representative of possible design choices. The alternatives share the same height, net and gross floor area, floor efficiency, materials, internal gains, etc. They just vary in type and location of the service core and orientation of the building mass. Energy consumptions of the sixteen models are tested with eQUEST, a thermal simulation program, by using the climatic data of Istanbul. The simulation is conducted according to two air conditioning scenarios for office and core zones. For both of the scenarios, split core alternatives are found as the most energy efficient configurations regardless of the core location and building orientation. Moreover, it is observed that while the end core alternatives giving average values, central core configurations have the highest energy consumption results, as predicted.

Full textAbstract:
Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) projects are becoming more complex in terms of client requirements, stakeholder issues, physical, budget and time constraints, and safety and environmental concerns. These constraints have spawned ad-hoc innovations in some AEC projects, without structured frameworks for their assessment, resulting in varying success for these innovations.
The primary goal of the thesis is to test an existing framework for evaluating innovative design and construction technologies for high-rise buildings by way of a case-study. The case study is a48-story structure (with an 8-level sub-grade parkade) in a downtown setting with significant constraints and challenges. Unlike most other assessment frameworks which are single-issue based (financial, cost, time or risk), a holistic method that captures a broad range of critical issues at the micro and macro levels is used to screen a number of construction innovations. The process highlights the primary difficulty in balancing stakeholder issues, technical/engineering requirements and project goals in assessing the overall feasibility and net benefits of an innovation. As a useful tool, it facilitates the engineering/technical judgment of proposed innovations and provides evidence of a sufficient trade-off between incremental 'cost and benefits' to justify a detailed evaluation and possible subsequent use of a subset of the innovations that passed successfully through a tiered first stage evaluation process.
A secondary objective is to propose appropriate quantitative models for a detailed evaluation of the screened technologies that not only seeks to quantify incremental cost and benefits (e.g. time, increased revenue, etc.) but also assess the level of certainty (in benefits and cost) of innovative construction technologies. An illustrative evaluation provides insights as to the level of modeling and analysis required to evaluate an innovative or novel strategy both at the 'activity/work package' and project levels. The quantum of data required at the pre-construction planning stage coupled with the lack of easy to apply evaluation models probably accounts for the non-prevalence of detailed quantitative evaluation of innovative construction technologies on AEC projects, especially in terms of impact at the project level and the degree of certainty with which net benefits are likely to be achieved.

Full textAbstract:
Monitoring is a process of observing any changes on a monitored subject. Deformation monitoring is a process which consists of four stages: specification, design, implementation and analysis [Kennie et al., 1990], with the structure being monitored on a daily, hourly or continuous basis for any changes in position, size and shape. With the Global Positioning System (GPS), a 24-hour all weather monitoring system can be established. However, for kinematic GPS, un-mitigated troposphere and multipath remain as the main source of errors in the position residuals. These were investigated in detail using data from field trials conducted by the author which suite their particular purposes. The investigations were made using static and moving stations, and included stations at the same altitude, and stations with a high difference in altitude, and baseline lengths of less than ten kilometres. Using Adaptive Filtering (AF) technique, common signals in two time series can be extracted. By performing AF and interchanging position residuals time series as reference and desired (Forward and Backward) using consecutive days of data will show the multipath and this can be confirmed with a third day of data. While same day AF can be used to separate un-mitigated troposphere and movements from receiver noise. The position residuals considered in this thesis were processed with Leica Ski-Pro Version 3.0 software. These were validated and through comparisons made using a kinematic GPS processing software named KINPOS, developed by previous researchers at the IESSG, University of Nottingham and the use of Virtual Reference Station (VRS) data were also investigated by comparing with actual data. Through the field trials carried out on Snowdon, University campus, Humber Bridge and Forth Road Bridge, the novelty of this thesis is that it demonstrates that by better understanding the trends in unmitigated troposphere and multipath, the use of kinematic GPS for monitoring tall structures can be improved, making the results more suitable for engineers and building owners or managers to better assess building performance during extreme motions caused by traffic, earthquakes, strong winds, and other climatic conditions.

Full textAbstract:
In general, tall buildings, some of which are termed as &ldquoskyscrapers&rdquo
, are among the typical and almost unavoidable features of the metropolitan cities. There is a competititive race of constructing higher and higher buildings since the birth of the infamous Home Insurance Building in Chicago which is still considered to be the pioneer of the modern tall buildings. Recently, an efficient service core design is strongly needed and inquired with the increase in height and capacity of tall buildings. Such needs and demands are primarily due to the circulation volume of occupants since height has an adverse effect on the size and capacity of the service core. This thesis investigates the features of service cores that play an important role in the planning considerations of tall building design, and their effect on architectural, structural and sustainable design. Within this context, a classification of service cores based on their location in architectural design is proposed.

This research proposes to reduce the dynamic amplification factor through the seismic design of tall buildings based on the requirements of Peruvian code considering that they are regular in plan and height. Minimum base shear values according to the comparison of static seismic shear and dynamic shear from the spectral modal analysis were reviewed for cases of buildings larger than 120 m. The study of 28 reinforced concrete buildings was proposed, with different heights - varying from 24 to 36 floors, with different floor configurations, as well as the arrangement of the walls considering as a rigid core structural system. Additionally, the characteristics of the materials, the loads and combinations were defined. The responses of these buildings were determined by the response spectrum analysis (RSA) and then compared with those obtained by the lineal response history analysis (LRHA), for the last analysis, five Peruvian seismic records were used and scaled to 0.45 g. The seismic responses of the LRHA procedure were taken as a benchmark. The result of this study is the analysis and proposal of the C/R factor for high-rise buildings, as well as obtaining the base shear and drift verification. Minimum base shear values can be reduced for high or long-term buildings, being regular in plan and height.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat traite de morphogenèse urbaine dans la vallée du Rhône, quelques trois cents kilomètres rectilignes de Lyon à la Méditerranée. Elle soutient l’ « hypothèse projectuelle » Rhodapolis, une structure linéaire fluvio-urbaine, qui a pour ambition d’améliorer l’habitabilité de la ville diffuse dans le corridor rhodanien. Cinq « concepts formels » (Dynamic Blue Mesh, structure linéo-réticulaire interactive, archipel linéaire rhodanien, European Urbanized Rivers, ville rézotopique) y sont énoncés et un laboratoire-prototype in situ (LGV-Lab) y est présenté. Le folioscope liminaire, constitué d’une série de photographies documentaires, porte un regard sur cette Vallée pour révéler la singularité d’un objet géographique qu’on ne sait pas voir. Ce recueil d’images procède d’une extraction d’informations sensibles, sources de problématiques inhérentes au site. La production d’un atlas spécifique comme épreuve épistémo iconographique, via le logiciel Q GIS, a démontré la valeur cognitive de résultats cartographiques observables dont les morphotypes urbains prospectifs sont les plus représentatifs. Le fleuve, lieu extraordinaire à reconsidérer, véritable agrégateur d’urbanité et de tiers-paysage, constitue la réalité physique d’un genius loci qui doit s’immiscer dans une pensée urbaine standard hors-sol trop dématérialisée. La notion de linéarité à l’origine du réseau- façonnant durablement l’environnement y est questionnée à partir de travaux anthropologiques, architecturaux et géographiques. Désurbanisme, architecture organique, Regional Planning invitent à une relation étroite entre territoire et architecture, interaction de deux échelles antagonistes préfigurant une autre manière de concevoir l’espace urbain du XXIème siècle.À travers la définition d’une structure hybride, Rhodapolis se veut une forme urbaine capable de faire cohabiter les deux modèles urbains prédominants de métropolisation et de périurbanisation, pour en extrapoler certaines de leurs qualités respectives. Entre autocritique et essai de généralisation, la conclusion propose l’introspection de Rhodapolis, spécimen d’une quatrième ville pensée par le fleuve, dont hybridité, organicité et europanéité seraient les principales caractéristiques. Enfin, cette thèse soutenue par un architecte, a tenté d’avancer ce qui pourrait définir une architecturologie : à partir d’une méthode expérimentale, un recentrement de la recherche architecturale est esquissé, en affirmant à travers le principe transcalaire les notions de forme, de projet et de conception spatiale, qui constitueraient les fondements de la disciplineThis PhD thesis deals with urban morphogenesis of the Rhône Valley, stretching 300 km rectilinearly from Lyon to the Mediterranean sea. It defends the « designed hypothesis » Rhodapolis which intends to enhance the living capability of urban sprawl along the Rhône River. Five formal concepts (Dynamic Blue Mesh, Interactive Network Frame, Rhodanian Linear Archipelago, European Urbanized Rivers, Web-Place City) are being detailed in this work as well as a prototype laboratory in-situ (LGV-Lab).The preliminary flipbook, made of a series of documentary photographs has the intention to reveal the singularity of a geographic object that we miss to watch spontaneously. From this fluvial site, the flipbook is built out of a critical outlook which has established some of the issues raised. The production of a specific epistemo-iconographic atlas through Q-GIS software has proven the cognitive value of observable cartographic results, which prospective urban morphotypes are the most representative. The river, highly extraordinary place to re-envision, consolidating urbanity and third-landscape, is the tangible reality of a genius loci that needs to interfere a standard urban soil-less thinking. Based on anthropologic, architectural and geographic works, we are questioning the notion of linearity shaping the environment. Desurbanism, organic architecture, Regional Planning : all those notions imply a tight relationship between the concepts of territory and architecture ; somehow opposite, the interaction of those scales give us tools to have a different thinking around urban design in the XXI century.With its hybrid structure, Rhodapolis is a kind of urban concept that is inspired by the two main urban models of metropolisation and suburbanization : selecting and extrapolating a few of their respective characteristics. At the junction of a critical self reflective paper and a generalist essay, the conclusion offers an introspection of Rhodapolis, a specimen of the 4th type city shaped by the river ; its hybridity, organicity and europeanity side would be its main characteristics. In the end, this thesis defended by an architect, tries to put forward what could define architecturology : starting from experimental work, a refocus on architectural research is initiated by asserting – through the transcaling principle- notions of shape, of design and of spatial conception, as the basis of the architectural field

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this diploma thesis is the architectural design of Skyscraper "EVO" (experimental high-rise building) located in Brno. The building integrates various functions (residential, restaurant, shops, office space and gallery) at relatively small built-up area. The aim of the thesis is to create the design of a high-rise building with appropriate scale and which creates space for interconnection of different functions and will become new dominant of the city. The proposed building is located in the part of the city called Veveří. The building site is defined by Šumavská and Veveří streets. The building is designed as a single rectangular prism shaped volume. The entrances to the building are at the level of surrounding terrain. The building has 31 aboveground floors and 9 underground floors. The simple shape of building is structured by horizontal bands of consoles which create shields against excessive sun exposure and vertical atriums embedded in the main volume. These atriums connect interior and exterior. This atrium create connection between interior and exterior and ease the penetration of natural daylight inside the building. The dominant material used is glass, which is applied both in exterior and interior. The glass used on glazing of atrium sis colored transparent photovoltaic glass. Bands are in white color.

After the industrial revolution, the increase in population of urban centres created a severe housing shortage. In North America there were two contrasting responses to house the masses, the urban tower and the garden city suburb. These solutions have since been criticised harshly as blunders of modernism. Today, we are undergoing unprecedented urbanisation and a changing paradigm. We are again in a position where the idea of mass housing needs to be rethought. Low-rise mixed-use neighbourhoods, such as Montreal’s Plateau, can provide sustainable vibrant urban environments. However, given the current paradigm, there are instances where buildings of higher density are necessary. How can successful urban neighbourhoods be re-interpreted to develop a design methodology for buildings of higher density?

The following thesis investigates parametric thinking and evolutionary solving principles in the creation of a framework for residential high rise design. Site specific parameters such as site access (pedestrian and vehicular), views, acknowledgement of neighbours, or climatic, such as natural day lighting and ventilation, should be used to inform the design. Parametric software is used as a tool to generate designs dynamically. With the help of an evolutionary solver component, the design potential is augmented by generating multiple iterations which are analyzed for their success or failure in an effort to provide an appropriate response within the context of the site. The framework is tested on a site located at the corner of Duplex Avenue and Eglinton Avenue West in Toronto, Canada.

Welcome to CityPlace.
Thirty-five hectares of formerly unoccupied rail-lands in downtown Toronto are currently undergoing a transformation into an instant neighbourhood. Eventually, CityPlace will be the home to over 15,000 people within 23 buildings, sequestered by the Gardiner Expressway on its southern border and by the still functioning rail-lines on its northern border, it is truly an island of suburban stacked living which is at once surrounded and yet at a distance from downtown Toronto. In CityPlace we are witnessing what the Belgian philosopher Lieven De Cauter describes as the rise of the capsular civilization.
Impossible to ignore, condominiums have become the dominant form of new housing in the city of Toronto; a process that has been driven by demographics, political imperative and most of all by the pursuit of profits in the high-stakes game of real-estate development. But lost in this torrent of development is a genuine dialogue about the city we are building.
This thesis explores the current state of condo development in downtown Toronto; from the myriad of political, economic and physical factors that have led to Toronto’s vernacular condo typology to the marketing onslaught that targets the base consumerist hyper-individual within all of us and aims to hide the fact that these buildings are more similar than distinct. From the optimistic aims of a city council which seeks to achieve civic benefits from increased density, to the cynical de urbanizing and social polarization that the type typically brings into the downtown.
The thesis explores the promise of downtown condominium living and the hybridisation of programme that accompanies the rising real estate values of the downtown core. Programmatic promiscuity and complexity are exploited to bring different user-types from the outside city into the tower. With its unique vertical properties
and inherent density, the residential high-rise tower presents new opportunities for urban collective spaces. From
introvert to extrovert, the new condo becomes a catalyst for urbanity in the instant neighbourhood of CityPlace.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation defines and develops transitional space of housing, which is adaptable to the Chinese environment. It is the integration of community, culture element and sustainable development. Although the lifestyle is changing today, the concept of courtyard which comes from the Chinese vernacular building remains in peoples’ minds. It’s not only a form but also an expression of national culture and a sense of space. There are some attempts for Chinese architects to renovate or reconstruct the “courtyard”, but most of them are low-rise buildings. Facing with the high density, high volume urban living environment, Chinese architects only set vii the first floor yard and roof garden in multi-story or high-rise buildings. To improve the community environment, various levels courtyard space, such as the courtyard among units, community courtyard, are set. These courtyards are regarded as public space which not only plays the role of landscaping but also make people feel comfortable. However, there are still some problems, such as sustainable development, privacy. While there are some good attempts for foreign architects to design courtyard in terms of sustainable technology, the housing they design lack the Chinese culture character. So the design of multi-function transitional space raises the interesting questions for future research and development.
