Transportation termini link people to social wellbeing, economic prosperity and the natural and built environments of the world. Altering and managing trends in transportation presents a major challenge in contemporary cities and will require the collaboration of stakeholders at local, regional, national and international ...

The recent wave of developments and research in the field of deep learning and artificial intelligence is causing the border between the intuitive and deterministic domains to be redrawn. Amidst all the excitement surrounding this field, there are several prototypes being made, most of which are narrow, single purpose ...

The Finnish community in Seattle has been dispersed throughout the Puget Sound for some time. As it is the 100th year of independence in 2017, bringing the community back together in one space is vital. The project provides the last puzzle piece to the Nordic identity in Ballard, as the Finnish community is the last to have ...

Mobile technology has become ubiquitous and is reshaping the city. The built environment has a key role in the success of public spaces and the richness of public interaction. However, technology works separately, from outside the built environment, fostering online interaction often at the expense of public interaction. ...

As one of the oldest European cities, Berlin has many historically significant buildings. Due to heavy bombardment during World War II, many of those historical architectural remains are present in ruined condition today. In many cases, instead of being demolished for new construction, they are excavated, preserved and turned ...

This thesis embraces the task of biodiversity conservation within the realm of architecture. In the midst of an anthropogenic mass extinction on Earth—the most menacing of the current environmental crises—it advocates for the prioritization of biodiversity conservation in any design project. A bold articulation of the attitude ...

The house is one of the purest forms of cultural reflection and it is the place where the design can have the most influence on people’s life and daily practice. Thus the proposal for this thesis will look at exploring and introducing a different form of housing to the Saudi urban fabric. This form will be different than the ...

The synergy of Additive Manufacturing and Computational Geometry has the potential to radically expand the “design space” of solutions available to designers. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is capable of fabricating objects that are highly complex both in geometry and material properties. However, the introduction of any new ...

Digital media and tools are now integral to architectural education and the design process. Nevertheless, much of the pedagogy related to digital media is grounded in, and relies upon, traditional design educational approaches. The relationship of the practice of architecture to digital technology is in constant flux. Recently, ...

While today’s society is becoming increasingly saturated by the technology of digital communication, there are few built traces of these complicated networks. Undetectable to the human eye and yet palpable in the impact of electronic devices on human existence, these overlapping networks of flowing information form a “third” ...
