This work reports and experiments a tangible mixed reality system for architectural design usage ... more This work reports and experiments a tangible mixed reality system for architectural design usage scenarios, such as conceptual design, client brief or architectural design education. The system provides the means for an architect to intuitively interact with an augmented version of a real scale model, in normal working settings, where he can observe 3D virtual objects registered to the real

In this study, the optimal location of pumps as turbines (PATs) within a water distribution network is investigated in order to maximize the production of energy and water savings, as well as minimize installation costs. A literature mathematical model has been employed as reference model and the weaknesses of this previous study have been overcome by new constraints. The main preliminary results of the new optimization procedure will be presented and compared with the literature results. According to the results, the new optimization ensures a good solution, in term of water and energy savings, with low investment cost and a fast return in investment.

Media façades, as new architectural creations, are being designed and built all over the world, and possibilities for interaction with individuals and groups of users are being discovered in multiple dimensions. This paper consolidates a number of empirically observed features of current projects and maps these onto a systematic framework of ...

The project proposes the ‘actioning ’ for better air quality through individuals’ capacity to record air pollution. The project initiates a walk-able protest by taking air quality directly to the individual and through critical mass counter the massive problems facing our urban atmospheres. In particular, the article focuses on the pollution prob-lems facing China today.

Responsive architectural surfaces are those than provide a dynamic structure—that is, it can change in terms of its appearance and content displayed on it according to different environment factors. These factors include how many people are around a structure and how they behave with and around it. In addition, environment information such air quality, temperature, noise level, sunlight quantity, and humility can all be captured, transformed, and returned in way the is perceivable by people, with the aim of highlighting different aspects of the information. An end goal, for example, may be to use these systems to raise awareness about a sensitive public issue (e.g., air and sound pollution level in an environment) in a subtle, implicit manner. In ...
