This work aims to improve the flexural behaviour of unidirectional fibre-reinforced laminates by means of coupling an optimization procedure for quasi-isotropic configurations with the design space opened by dispersed-ply orientations. The design approach consists of finding suitable alternatives to traditional laminates (with fibre...

Aircraft turnaround optimization has recently gained attention from researchers, with the goal of freeing up capacity in congested airports. Most modern research focuses on the passenger boarding process. However, cabin cleaning also resides in the process critical path and an improvement of the cleaning lead time will therefore impact the...

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become a crucial sector of China–Africa relations. As scholars have noted, Africa’s 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) risks transforming into a new ‘scramble’ with foreign actors harnessing Africa’s data. The present article explores this issue at a discursive level, i.e. delving into...

Following an in-depth investigation into contemporary heritage practice, the project intervenes on the Parc Chanot which hosted Marseille’s two colonial exhibitions. The design seeks to resurface taboo histories to enable history to be learned from. Through this project, I have queried the role of architects as curators of history and sought to...

Collaboration between the Global South and Global North is inevitable. It can work. It can be emphatic, effective, and more equal. However, there is a deeply embedded history of colonialism involving power asymmetries that give rise to the dismissal of value systems, which pervert this type of collaboration from being truly realised. Hence,...
