As architectural designs continue to push boundaries, there is more exploration into the bound shape of architecture within the limits of spaces made for human usability and interaction. The Handbook of Research on Form and Morphogenesis in Modern Architectural Contexts provides emerging research on the process of architectural form-finding as an effort to balance perceptive efficiency with functionality. While highlighting topics such as architectural geometry, reverse modeling, and digital fabrication, this book details the geometric process that forms the shape of a building. This publication is a vital resource for scholars, IT professionals, engineers, architects, and business managers seeking current research on the development and creation of architectural design.
Volume di grande formato di oltre 1.000 pagine in edizione italiano e inglese riccamente illustrato a cura della segreteria del 36° CONVEGNO INTERNAZIONALE DEI DOCENTI DELLA RAPPRESENTAZIONE - UNDICESIMO CONGRESSO UID - PARMA 18 • 19 • 20 SETTEMBRE 2014 - SEDE CENTRALE DELL'UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI PARMA I convegni/congressi periodici delle società scientifiche sono sempre stati lo strumento migliore e più efficace per rendersi conto dello stato di salute, di vivacità e di avanzamento della ricerca di una specifica comunità scientifica. Continuano ad esserlo, nonostante la scarsa considerazione che ad essi era stata riservata nelle prime impostazioni della VQR 2004-2010 e dai crit...
This volume explores the relationship between space, pedagogy, and technology, with a particular focus on the latter since it is the connecting element that relates to all analysed contexts. The learning experience is investigated and supported by a review of works by referenced authors, underlining the active learning approach that can create better alliances among users and redefine the role of the teacher as a director and a facilitator. The volume offers a conceptualisation of learning technologies for innovative learning environments by creating a grid of technologies for active approaches. Then, it reflects on the comparison between the on-site and online learning environments, focusing on a stressful context. It offers and discusses an instructional design tool that supports teachers in designing hybrid learning contexts. Practitioners who wish to reframe technology in teaching using both digital and physical resources will find it very inspiring.
This book explores the contributions of psychological, neuroscientific and philosophical perspectives to the design of contemporary cities. Pursuing an innovative and multidisciplinary approach, it addresses the need to re-launch knowledge and creativity as major cultural and institutional bases of human communities. Dwelling is a form of knowledge and re-invention of reality that involves both the tangible dimension of physical places and their mental representation. Findings in the neuroscientific field are increasingly opening stimulating perspectives on the design of spaces, and highlight how our ability to understand other people is strongly related to our corporeity. The first part of ...
Having the ability to measure and explore the geographic space that surrounds us provides endless opportunities for us to utilize and interact with the world. As a broad field of study, geospatial research has applications in a variety of fields including military science, environmental science, civil engineering, and space exploration. Geospatial Research: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is a multi-volume publication highlighting critical topics related to geospatial analysis, geographic information systems, and geospatial technologies. Exploring multidisciplinary applications of geographic information systems and technologies in addition to the latest trends and developments in the field, this publication is ideal for academic and government library inclusion, as well as for reference by data scientists, engineers, government agencies, researchers, and graduate-level students in GIS programs.
