Bianco, Coby (author)The construction of a light rail system in Tel Aviv has the potential to impact commuting patterns and accessibility of amenities. This study develops a method to assess the impact of the light rail system on urban diversity, using isochrones generated from public transportation and walking networks. Diversity maps were created for the existing...student report 2023

Punte, Tom (author)With every second going by, another operation is automated. Even occurring in the field of architecture, mostly through parametric design, writing of computational scripts and mathematics. The latter being one of the first methodologies to be used for automating the process of designing. One of its pre-computer era pioneers, Luigi Walter Moretti...student report 2023
