Psyllidis, A. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Bocconi, S. (author), Titos Bolivar, C. (author)Understanding the complexity of urban dynamics requires the combination of information from multiple city data sources. Besides traditional urban data, geo-localized social media provide human-generated content, which may reflect in (near) real time the activities people undertake in cities. The challenge is to devise methods and tools that...conference paper 2015

Trajanovski, S. (author), Kuipers, F.A. (author), Hayel, Y. (author), Altman, E. (author), Van Mieghem, P. (author)Forming, in a decentralized fashion, an optimal network topology while balancing multiple, possibly conflicting objectives like cost, high performance, security and resiliency to viruses is a challenging endeavor. In this paper, we take a game-formation approach to network design where each player, for instance an autonomous system in the...conference paper 2015

Konstantinou, T. (author), Klein, T. (author), Guerra Santin, O. (author), Boess, S.U. (author), Silvester, S. (author)Although refurbishment is a necessary step to reach the ambitious energy and decarbonisation targets for 2020 and 2050, which require an eventual reduction up to 90% in CO2 emissions, the rate of renovation is still relatively low. There is an increasing demand to upgrade both the physical condition and the performance of the building, with the...conference paper 2015

Panigyrakis, P.I. (author)The paper deals with Le Corbusier's connection to the term "style". A classification of his work in specific architectural styles is discussed, followed by a description of the procedure through which the style of the man Le Corbusier was constructed; in an attempt to search meaning in his continual stylistic shifts and the rationale that kept...conference paper 2015

Wang, X. (author), Koc, Y. (author), Kooij, R.E. (author), Van Mieghem, P. (author)Cascading failures are one of the main reasons for blackouts in electrical power grids. Stable power supply requires a robust design of the power grid topology. Currently, the impact of the grid structure on the grid robustness is mainly assessed by purely topological metrics, that fail to capture the fundamental properties of the electrical...conference paper 2015

Mostafavi, S. (author), Bier, H. (author), Bodea, S. (author), Anton, A.M. (author)This paper discusses the development of an informed Design-to-Robotic-Production (D2RP) system for additive manufacturing to achieve performative porosity in architecture at various scales. An extended series of experiments on materiality, fabrication and robotics were designed and carried out resulting in the production of a one-to-one scale...conference paper 2015

Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)Description grammars represent a formalism for generating verbal descriptions of designs, used in conjunction with shape grammars. A description grammar constitutes a set of description rules that define a language of descriptions. A description grammar interpreter implements the mechanisms to interpret descriptions and description rules, apply...conference paper 2015

Mota, N.J.A. (author)Designing Self-help sounds like a contradiction in terms. Indeed, a great deal of the scholarly accounts on self-help housing excludes the agency of the designer, stressing instead the roles of the policy maker and the owner-builder. In the architecture discipline, from the late 1950s through the 1980s the notions of open form, group form and...conference paper 2015

Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author), Paul, J.C. (author)Focusing on large span structures for sport buildings, the paper tackles the role of parametric modelling and performance simulations, to enhance the integration between architectural and engineering design. The general approach contrasts post-engineering processes. In post-engineering, technical performances are considered in late stages of...conference paper 2015

Eigenraam, P. (author), Schipper, H.R.

Wang, X. (author), Koç, Y. (author), Derrible, S. (author), Nasir Ahmad, Sk. (author), Kooij, R.E. (author)Metros (heavy rail transit systems) are integral parts of urban transportation systems. Failures in their operations can have serious impacts on urban mobility, and measuring their robustness is therefore critical. Moreover, as physical networks, metros can be viewed as network topological entities, and as such they possess measurable network...conference paper 2015
