Nature Inspired Form Finding Strategies Assessment using Genetic Algorithms
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015)
In this work, several topology generation procedures have been implemented on architectural surfaces combined with urban forms. Delaunay triangulation, Voronoi diagrams and the recently proposed [1, 2, 3] Voronax diagram, ...
A new methodology, extending the inversed catenary form finding method of Antonio Gaudi to generative space shells
(Eccomas, 2016-06)
This work aims to constitute an algorithmic framework for the automatic creation of compression only forms of generative space shells. In particular the case of concrete dams is investigated, where the loading is non-uniform ...
Torsional design criteria in building codes and comparison with more accurate modeling using structural optimization tools
(4th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2013)
It is widely accepted that seismic design philosophies do not follow the efficiency of seismic analysis methods is quite remarkable. Torsionally unbalanced structures, is a common field where any of the proposed design ...
Multicultural Nicosia: searching for a common cultural identity in east Mediterranean Basin
(International Conference on Change Cities II, 2015-06-22)
This article intends to investigate in a theoretical framework the possible expansion of Place Branding in a cross-border and inter-national basis in order to develop partnerships and to strengthen the relationships between ...
Simplified Numerical Modeling of Elevated Silos for Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis
(2015)
Silos are industrial facilities used for storing a huge range of different materials. They should be designed to resist several loading conditions, and their seismic behaviour, which strongly depends on the geometrical and ...
Overview of property taxation systems
(2015-10)
Property taxes are one of the traditional revenue sources for most governments of the world, and have existed for a very long time. The tax is collected at different administration levels, ranging from the national to the ...
Pafos Cultural Capital of Europe 2017: Landscape interventions in the urban fabric as a tourist development tool
(2014)
The relationship between tourism and sites of cultural and natural significance exists since the
time of Greek Antiquity and strongly encourages landscape restoration of urban sites. This
paper provides an up-to-date ...

The research and the design focused at combining and enhancing the surrounding area of the school which is referred to as the “Lighthouse of Orthodoxy”. The project has been envisaged in such manner as to provide a spiritual ...
The Vertical Gardens of Roberto Burle Marx: an Artistic Expression
(EDIFIR - EDIZIONI FIRENZE, 2016)
This paper aims to explore the vertical gardens designed by Roberto Burle Marx as an artistic expression of a common design feature, prevalent in landscape architectural discourse and practice since the 1930s. The contribution ...
