Rhodanian Neighborhoods in Transition: Towards an Integrative Strategy Facilitating Decision-Making for New Sustainable Fluvio-Neighborhoods

Emmanuel Rey, Sara Sonia Formery Regazzoni, Martine Laprise

In the changing history of city-river relationships, cities are today questioning strategies for “reconciliation”. Thus, rather degraded sites like riverside brownfields represent an important potential for the creation of new sustainable fluvio-neighborho ...

Studies on Types: Dormitories

Estelle Lépine, Tiago André Pratas Borges, Anja Fröhlich, Vanessa Pointet

Concepts of type and typology are not specific to architecture. Rather they represent an interdisciplinary approach to ordering knowledge and gaining insight. In the field of architecture, the study of types and typology offers a didactic perspective that ...

Architecture, environnement et artefact total : la ville selon Reyner Banham et Oswald Mathias Ungers

Thibaut Jean Bernard Pierron

When looking at the city and the land, current architectural practices face a double limitation. On the one hand, the discipline is asked to react to its own specter: the body of authoritarian spatial devices based on a questionable tradition of which the ...

Transport signatures of temperature-induced chemical potential shift and Lifshitz transition in layered type-II Weyl semimetal TaIrTe4

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Meng Yang

Temperature-induced Lifshitz transitions have been identified in several materials. Their chemical potential shows a substantial shift with changing temperature. The common feature of these materials is the coexistence of electron and hole pockets in the v ...

Transformations silencieuses : étude sur l'architecture alpine

Patrick Giromini

This thesis addresses the question of abandonment in architecture, not in its negative sense of desertion, but as a possibility offered to buildings which have lost their original purpose, which is to say those buildings from social and economic contexts w ...

Transferable machine-learning models of complex materials: the case of GaAs

Giulio Imbalzano

Molecular simulations allow to investigate the behaviour of materials at the atomistic level, shedding light on phenomena that cannot be directly observed in experiments. Accurate results can be obtained with ab initio methods, while simulations of large-s ...

How to polarise an interface with ions: the discrete Helmholtz model

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Grégoire Clément Gschwend

The distribution of electrolytes in an electric field usually relies on theories based on the Poisson-Boltzmann formalism. These models predict that, in the case of a metallic electrode, ionic charges screen the electrode potential, leading to concentratio ...

Koolhaas' Revision of Foucault's panopticon; or how architecture and philosophy just met

André Patrão Neves De Frias Martins

Architecture and philosophy have engaged with one other, directly, marginally, or just simply implicitly, in the works and discourse of academics, practitioners, and critics, most evidently in architectural modernism, postmodernism, and most intensively in ...

Discrete Helmholtz charge distribution at liquid-liquid interfaces: Electrocapillarity, capacitance and non-linear spectroscopy studies

Hubert Girault, Grégoire Clément Gschwend

The structure of the polarised interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) has usually been deduced from electrocapillarity and capacitance measurements. However, these two methods only offer an indirect access to the surface change dens ...

Protostructure, archéologie et hypothèse d'une architecture-support

Agathe Claire Estelle Mignon

« How do we pile up dwellings without sacrificing their independence ? » Nicolas John Habraken asks the question in those terms in the book he first published in Dutch in 1961 then in English in 1972, Supports: An Alternative to Mass Housing, as an introd ...

Architecture in the Data-driven City

Frederick Peter Ortner

In the last ten years, new sources of urban big data have made it possible for algorithms to increasingly control how the city is perceived, understood and managed by its inhabitants; this is the data-driven city. New efforts in the social sciences, like ...

Concentration phenomena for a fractional Choquard equation with magnetic field

Tomohiko Sano

We consider the following nonlinear fractional Choquard equation epsilon(2s) (-Delta)(A/epsilon)(s) u + V(x)u = epsilon(mu-N) (1/vertical bar x vertical bar(mu) * F vertical bar mu vertical bar(2))) f(vertical bar u vertical bar(2))u in R-N, where epsilon ...

L'oeuvre de Leandro V. Locsin (1928-1994), architecte à la recherche de l'identité élusive de l'architecture philippine du second après-guerre

Jean-Claude Girard

Filipino architect Leandro Valencia Locsin (Silay1928 - Makati 1994) produced an architectural work that involved 250 projects, of which at least more than half were completed and mostly in his country of origin. A graduate in architecture of San Tomas de ...

Electrochemical potential window of battery electrolytes: the HOMO-LUMO misconception

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo

A widespread misconception in the lithium ion battery literature is the equality of the energy difference of HOMO and LUMO of the solvent with the electrochemical stability window. HOMO and LUMO are concepts derived from approximated electronic structure t ...
