Configurational Morphology: A Vision of Adaptive Urban Form

Configurational Morphology is a research and design project exploring the potentials of configurational design as a systematic approach to generating site-specific urban form responsive to its environmental, social end economic context. By looking into both the theoretical potentials of configurational thinking as well as its practical...

Derivative Computation using an Adjoint-Based Goal-Oriented Iterative Multiscale Lagrangian Framework: Application to Reservoir Simulation

Even though negative effects on the use of crude oil have surfaced over the past years, our energy matrix still largely relies on this energy source. The production of oil, therefore, plays an important role in our society. Unfortunately, the process of oil production is highly uncertain. There are uncertainties associated on the production...

Digitale Architectuur: De ontwikkeling van CAD technieken en haar weerslag op het architectonisch product

Op welke wijze heeft de CAD techniek zich door de jaren heen ontwikkeld en wat is zijn weerslag op het architectonisch product? Met deze vraag word er geprobeerd om meer duidelijkheid te krijgen over de invloed van CAD technieken in de architectuur. De ontwikkeling van CAD begint in 1963 en is vandaag de dag nog in volle gang. Er word daarbij...

Climatic Ecologies: Huanshi East CBD Improvement 3.0

In recent years, because of the development of other areas of Guangzhou, the Huanshi East CBD is facing fierce competition. What’s worse, this CBD has some inborn weakness when compared to the other CBD due to some urban planning mistakes. The first one is that the core of this CBD is divided into two parts by a busy road. The buildings in this...

Freeform Follows Functions

This research is twofold. Firstly it treats the complexity of design using a computational intelligent method to achieve, with regard to a limited set of goals, high performing designs. Secondly, an architectural and structural challenge to conceptually design a freeform roof framework, which integrates structural rigidity and non-standard...

A single comprehensive computational building model

With parametric geometry in relation with a knowledge base and a 3D modeller, design alternatives and analysis can be made. With this method it is possible to combine different building disciplines and give an integrated building result.

N-Swap, urban reinterpretation of Nehru Place, New Delhi, India

The project is the urban re interpretation of Nehru place, the largest Hub for sale of ITC related hardware and software in India. The design uses computational methodologies and swarm behaviors in analyzing, interpreting and developing the architecture.
