Risk of incorrect choices due to uncertainty in BPS evaluations of conceptual-stage neighbourhood-scale building designs

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal

At the conceptual stage, building performance simulation (BPS) based evaluations are being increasingly used for tasks such as ranking of competing massing design proposals. However, such conceptual stage evaluations suffer from information deficiency in b ...

Title: "Labels Matter: Is it stress or is it Trauma?"

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

In neuroscience, the term 'Stress' has a negative connotation because of its potential to trigger or exacerbate psychopathologies. Yet in the face of exposure to stress, the more common reaction to stress is resilience, indicating that resilience is the ru ...

Theory Space: The Architecture Studio

Emmanuel Petit

Somewhere around the late 60's, the architectural studio underwent a 'conceptual' turn which, some fifty years later, would unknowingly become the model for the now fashionable 'start-up', 'business incubator' and 'think-tank' spaces that have sprung up fr ...

A discussion on the paper "Role of porosity on the stiffness and stability of (001) surface of the nanogranular C-S-H gel"

Paul Bowen, Aslam Kunhi Mohamed

This paper is a discussion of a recent publication by Sekkal and coworkers, which investigated the elasticity, cohesion, and stability of the C-S-H (001) surface as a function of porosity using molecular dynamics simulations. In our discussion, we highligh ...

Admissible geometrical domains and graphic statics to evaluate constitutive elements of structural robustness

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

Structural robustness is related to the insensitivity of a structure to local failure, which is linked to the ability of force redistribution. Current approaches—probabilistic, risk-based, deterministic, and energetic—are poorly suited to inform the design ...

The Complex Interplay Between Multisensory Integration and Perceptual Awareness

Nathan Quentin Faivre

The integration of information has been considered a hallmark of human consciousness, as it requires information being globally available via widespread neural interactions. Yet the complex interdependencies between multisensory integration and perceptual ...

“With-me-ness”: A gaze-measure for students’ attention in MOOCs

Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann, Kshitij Sharma

We propose a gaze-based indicator of students’ attention in a MOOC video lecture. We report the results from an eye-tracking study during a MOOC lecture. We define the gaze- based indicator of students’ attention as “with-me-ness”. This answers a question ...
