Mixplorer: Scaffolding Design Space Exploration through Genetic Recombination of Multiple Peoples’ Designs to Support Novices’ Creativity

Pierre Dillenbourg, Richard Lee Davis, Kevin Gonyop Kim

The ability to consider a wide range of solutions to a design problem is a crucial skill for designers, and is a major differentiator between experts and novices. One reason for this is that novices are unaware of the full extent of the design space in whi ...

Policy-based Exploration of Equilibrium Representations (PEER): A topology grammar for generative conceptual structural design

Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

Design exploration is a creative process that consists of the incremental generation of design candidates. Supported by digital means or not, the process handles the ill-structured nature of design and allows creativity to flourish through diversity of des ...

Home, Spatial Familiarity And Routines In Mobility Behaviours

Marc-Edouard Baptiste Grégoire Schultheiss

This research explores the unreasoned influences of locational behaviour – i.e. locational habits – in Activity- Travel-Behaviour (ATB). In particular, the interrelations between Activity Space characteristics and mobility patterns. In a wider research eff ...

How Florist Apprentices Explore Bouquet Designs: Supporting Design Space Exploration for Vocational Students

Pierre Dillenbourg, Kevin Gonyop Kim, Catharine Regina Monika Maria Oertel Genannt Bierbach

Context: Exploring the design space is an important process in a design task. In this study, we considered design space exploration for the learners in vocational education and training (VET). The goal of the study was to investigate how they explore the d ...

Lieu hologrammatique, un concept et une méthodologie complexe de mesure de l'organisation spatiale des réalités sociales

Thibault Pierre Louis Romany

The urban is a complex phenomenon whose exploration remains a important scientific challenge. Choosing complex thought in order to renew our capacities for understanding and action on and with the urban is not trivial. The complex thought developed by Edga ...

Das Klaviertastenwehr (PKW) als effizientes Einlaufbauwerk zur Erhöhung der Abflusskapazität bestehender Hochwasserentlastungsanlagen

Michael Pfister

Free overfall weirs are hydraulically efficient and reliable in operation. With this, the overfall capacity depends on the hydraulically active developed length of the weir. Folded types of weir, such as the piano key weir (PKW), provide an over-proportion ...
