Journal Article

During Communism in the second half of the 20th Century the ‘analytical space’ of Polish cities was dominated by the architectural intent of creating a new type of human: ‘homo-sovieticus . Any distancing from the prescribed mode of behaviour that wo... Read More about Counter-Conduct; The Architecture of Fools in the city of Nowa Huta.

Emerging urban aural patterns: Finding connections between emergence in architecture and soundscape eEcology (2016)
Journal Article

Cities are dynamic, spatial and material systems that exhibit power scaling and selfsimilarity across a range of scales. Spatial designers are informed by mathematical and biological systems and use concepts and processes abstracted from them to anal...

Positive plant-soil feedbacks of the invasive Impatiens glandulifera and their effects on above-ground microbial communities (2016)
Journal Article

Impatiens glandulifera is one of the most widespread invasive plant species in the UK. Although aspects of its biology are known, there is little information about its association with microbial communities, both above ground and below ground. Furthe...

Strength analysis of concrete (300/20) with superplasticizer (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Admixtures are used in concrete to obtain some specific properties to enhance the performance of concrete. In this research concrete of a specific grade (300/20) with a superplaticizer Ha Ba has been selected to enhance the reliability on the use of...

Memory palaces within the space of architectural production (2016)
Journal Article

© Taylor & Francis 2016. A model of the space of architectural production is proposed where the building is imagined as a memory palace. In this model, building work is understood to be foreshadowed by an imaginary architecture that both predicts t... Read More about Memory palaces within the space of architectural production.

The dual half-edge-a topological primal/dual data structure and construction operators for modelling and manipulating cell complexes (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 by the authors. There is an increasing need for building models that permit interior navigation, e.g., for escape route analysis. This paper presents a non-manifold Computer-Aided Design (CAD) data structure, the dual half-edge based on the Po...

The role of fine urban grain in securing the diversity of the urban centre (2016)
Thesis

Diversity is a key concept in urban and planning theory and policy with important physical,social and economic dimensions. It is also central to the sustainable city and a key component of vital and viable urban centres. Urban form plays a key role i...
