3D Printed book : 3D Printed Book. 2015. Artist experiment. 3rd edition. Material: Polyamide (nylon). Process: Selective laser sintering (SLS).
Borstrock, Shaun (2015-12-16)Traditional printing processes allowed the book to flourish as reproduction processes became distributed and accessible. We're now at a stage where technology enables objects to be created and reproduced through a variety ... -
L'Abitare come potrebbe essere
Carta, Silvio (libria, 2016-06)The chapter introduces the monographic work of the architectural practice C+C04 Studio, analysing their residential projects. -
Adaptive Narratives For Immersive Spaces
Tree, David (Filmby Aarhus / VIA Film & Transmedia / Create Converge, 2019-11-30)In this chapter, we explore the concept of immersive spaces, investigating how the lessons of immersive physical spaces can influence the design of immersive digital worlds; VR, AR and XR are mere trans-dimensional portals ... -
Algorithms are designing better buildings
Carta, Silvio (2020-06-18)Today, computers are poised to change buildings once again, this time with algorithms that can inform, refine and even create new designs. Even weirder shapes are just the start: algorithms can now work out the best ways ... -
Analysing Trade-offs in Frameworks for the Design of Smart Environments
Ardito, Carmelo; Desolda, Giuseppe; Lanzilotti, Rosa; Malizia, Alessio; Matera, Maristella (2019-07-04)Smart Interactive Experiences (SIEs) are usage situations enabled by the Internet of Things that empower users to interact with the surrounding environment. The goal of our research is to define methodologies and software ... -
An ant-colony based approach for real-time implicit collaborative information seeking
Malizia, Alessio; Olsen, Kai A.; Turchi, Tommaso; Crescenzi, Pierluigi (2017-05-01)We propose an approach based on Swarm Intelligence — more specifically on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) — to improve search engines’ performance and reduce information overload by exploiting collective users’ behavior. We ... -
Archipulse A Formal Tension

Architectural Generosity: : A Preliminary Attempt at a Qualitative Definition
Carta, Silvio (2017-08-01)Although in several forms and in different terms, the notion of generosity in architecture has recently received increased attention in contemporary debates, definitions of generosity and its cognates remain sparse and ... -
Author-Driven Approaches to Computational Narrative Design for Games
Tree, David John; Malizia, Alessio (Springer Nature, 2019-06-27)Accessible Head Mounted Displays (HMD) have provided mass access to Extended Reality (XR) content as never before. One of the key complaints from HMD owners, however, is the lack of substantial high-quality content (Moore ... -
Big data is adding a whole new dimension to public spaces – here’s how
Carta, Silvio (2017-02-07)Most of us encounter public spaces in our daily lives: whether it’s physical space (a sidewalk, a bench, or a road), a visual element (a panorama, a cityscape) or a mode of transport (bus, train or bike share). But over ... -
BioZero - Designing Nature-inspired Net-zero Building
Jankovic, Ljubomir; Carta, Silvio (2021-07-08)This article introduces BioZero, a nature-inspired near-zero building proposed for Quay St, Brooklyn, New York. The building is designed for the maximum use of daylight and natural ventilation. This is the result of its ... -

Carving Space with Big Data
Carta, Silvio (2016)This research project investigates the use of a large set of data in the design process with the aim of analysis and production of new types of spaces within the built environment. -
Cellular Automata Simulation of Three-dimensional Building Heat Loss
Bharadwaj, Purvesh; Jankovic, Ljubomir (International Building Performance Association (IBPSA), 2020-04-01)Conventional design development and simulation methods provide a top-down approach towards exploration of design solutions. This research identifies this limitation and presents a bottom-up approach framework inspired by ... -
Changing the Culture of Building Simulation with Emergent Modelling
Jankovic, L. (International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2017-08-09)Dynamic simulation models of buildings have been predominantly based on a top-down approach, which defines the system as a whole with equations, simplifies the representation to make the solutions computable at the expense ... -
Child–display interaction: Lessons learned on touchless avatar-based large display interfaces
Rubegni, Elisa; Gentile, Vito; Malizia, Alessio; Sorce, Salvatore; Kargas, Niko (2020-10-30)During the last decade, touchless gestural interfaces have been widely studied as one of the most promising interaction paradigms in the context of pervasive displays. In particular, avatars and silhouettes have proved to ... -
