Use of recycled aggregates of concrete in total replacement of natural materials: Influence on the determination of concrete formulation parameters

The study presented here aims to develop the use of recycled aggregate issued of concrete in total replacement of natural materials (sand and gravel). In regard to natural aggregates, recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) contain mortar that influences theirs properties and those of concrete in which they are used (RCA). The objective of this work...

A Morphogenetic Approach for Performative Building Envelope Systems Using Leaf Venetian Patterns

Recent developments in theory and technology in performance based design show an interest towards generative systems. In this paper a morphogenetic approach will be introduced that looks at Goethean morphology and leaf venation patterns. To instrumentalize this approach an algorithm will be introduced to generate various leaf venation patterns...
