Kinematic architecture combines art and design to develop both functional designs and aesthetically pleasing installations.

Watch the story below to learn more about how our engineering students are learning to become problem-solvers. Reach out to me if you want to partner with our School of Engineering to solve problems at your industry.

It's a pleasure to share our New journal paper titled as: "Optimizing High rise Building form for energy performance using Generative Design Framework" https://lnkd.in/dYJyDV5h

📕 Handbook of Digital 3D Reconstruction of Historical Architecture 👉 Chaired by Jun. Professor and Time Machine Organisation secretary Sander Münster, a network of experts from various research institutions all around Europe recently published this handbook for students, experts and interested parties who want to learn more about digital 3D reconstruction of historical architecture. 👉 The book provides answers to the core questions of the subject: What is a digital 3D model or a digital 3D reconstruction? How are they created and what are they used for? 👉 Practical instructions, condensed knowledge, explanations of technical terms and references to example projects, literature and further references provide information of varying density and thus enable an individual introduction to the subject. 👉 The book combines extensive knowledge on the topic of “digital 3D reconstruction of historical architecture” and provides practical instructions for independent implementation. Up to now, there has been no cross-disciplinary vocabulary for technical terms in this field, so this publication makes a start. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/dbybi53m

✨️Exciting News! ✨️ I am thrilled to share that our recent paper ,"Optimizing Integrated Shading Device and Light Shelf for Daylight Performance and Visual Comfort in Architecture Studio" has been published in the IEEE Xplore ! https://lnkd.in/dShPxqx7 📚The Abstract: To provide a sustainable interior, it is essential to consider visual comfort and energy efficiency for the occupants' well-being. Daylight is crucial in providing visual comfort while proposing energy-efficient design alternatives. Using daylight as a primary source is one of the most crucial strategies. However, controlling daylight for unwanted situations such as discomfort glare is important. There have been several research studies on daylighting, visual comfort, and shading techniques. Shading devices are façade configurations to control daylight, while light shelves distribute daylight evenly through the space. There are two types of classifications for shading devices: adaptive ones and non-adaptive ones. Numerous research studies have been conducted on daylighting, energy consumption, occupancy performance, and shading systems. Shading technologies, whether adaptive or not, provide benefits and drawbacks. Even though optimizing them is one way to design non-adaptive shading devices, they require minimal maintenance. This study aims to integrate adaptive shading devices and light shelves for university campus buildings to provide lighting design strategies. The aim is to create a study environment that promotes well-being and academic achievement. To pursue this study, three optimization algorithms were run to find the nearly optimal solution. The goal was to both maximize Daylight Autonomy and uniformity values. Results showed that HypE and SPEA2 results discovered near-optimal DA above 75% and uniformity between 0.6 and 0.7. ✨️I would like to thank to my advisors and co-authors Asst. Prof. Dr. Berk Ekici and Prof. Dr. Tugce Kazanasmaz for their guidance and support. ✨️Finally, special thanks to 24th EEEIC Conference (Rome, 2024) for this wonderful opportunity.

Sleep is more than a luxury to architecture students... I probably could’ve paid tuition selling coffee out the studio But making money isn’t part of the curriculum I can break the entire gist of the program in one line: Architecture school is about learning to craft compelling arguments for a built environment It’s not about the 14-hour rendering you think you need It's not about about the third axon you didn’t make Not even the 6th laser lab appointment you’re scheduling The studio feels like an anxious pit during finals Most of it filled by zombies on their 12th coffee of the day Here’s 5 crucial steps to remain out of this pit : 1. Break your project down to one main objective you’re trying to accomplish 2. Articulate why said objective is worthwhile 3. Make a list of the deliverables you need to convey how you’ll achieve that objective 4. Be real with yourself about the time it takes to complete listed deliverables 5. It usually takes longer than you think so be real with yourself FOR REAL

I believe Design matters. Not *shiny* design, but knowing how to solve physical and visual problems. Back in 2013 I had fallen out of love with architecture. By 2015 I was teaching design in a Melbourne high school. This presentation is one I made for year 12s. Using lego, I introduced the three different "Design Fields" of Communication Design, Environment Design and Industrial Design. It was so wonderful. Lots of work. But I burned out - I think teachers are amazing. Now I do it for the "big kids" at University and use what I learned in teacher training every time. An Archi-aquaintence through the ArchiTeam Cooperative Ltd has a teen child studying VCD this year, so I'm inspired to share some content. The VCD course has changed, but design is a way of thinking. It's a way of seeing the world. And it's REALLY useful. #architecture #education #VCD #Designeducation

We are excited to share that MIT Thresholds are the recipients of the 2024 Douglas Haskell Award for Student Journals by the Center for Architecture. Thresholds Issue 52: Disappearance has received a $1,000 prize, alongside peer winners Dimensions 37 and Paprika! Volume 10, Issue 1. Editors: Samuel D. Dubois and Susan Williams Advisory Board: Timothy Hyde (Chair) and eight internationally recognized female faculty from various institutions The Haskell Award was founded to encourage student journalism on architecture, planning, and related subjects and to foster regard for intelligent criticism among future professionals. The award is named for architectural journalist and editor Douglas Haskell, editor of Architectural Forum from 1949 to 1964, where he was very influential in stopping the demolition of Grand Central Station. The winning issue focuses on the complexity of disappearance as a concept, and mirrors its ambiguity as a word. It can simultaneously refer to the condition in which a person or thing cannot be seen or found; the process of moving from a state of visibility to invisibility; or the outcome of something or someone ceasing to appear. Disappearance is therefore both the subject and the result. Together, these authors and artists critically showcase how art, architecture, and related disciplines negotiate the material, spatial, and symbolic implications of various forms of disappearances.

Ten Material Things is the title of a new talk that I recently gave to our Industrial Design students at RISD. Professor Paolo Cardini posed the seemingly simple challenge to me, to select and lecture on ten materials that have had an impact on the field of industrial design. Seemed easy enough, but soon became very complex! Water had to be one; it’s my favorite material and is endlessly fascinating. The original title slide for the talk is below … pretty much unworkable and definitely unpronounceable. #risd #industrialdesign #design
