Inspiration from animal's collective behavior for home energy demand management (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
An interdisciplinary approach towards managing energy demand through users' behavior is discussed, drawing on knowledge from studies on collective behavior in nature. Studies on home energy demand management have focused mainly on social, technical a... Read More about Inspiration from animal's collective behavior for home energy demand management.
Local public transport and neighbourhood satisfaction: The effect on older adults' subjective wellbeing (2023)
Journal Article
The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted older adults in terms of both physical (high mortality rate) and psychological health. In these challenging times more than ever, exploring which dimensions affect the older people's subjective wellbeing is relevant...

Subsurface fracturing of sedimentary stones caused by bullet impacts (2023)
Journal Article
The immovable nature of built heritage means that it is particularly vulnerable during times of armed conflict. Although impacts from small arms and shrapnel leave relatively inconspicuous impact scars, they elevate the risk of future stone deteriora...

Robotics and autonomous systems for environmental sustainability: Monitoring terrestrial biodiversity (2023)
Report
It is critical to protect Earth’s biodiversity, not just for its own intrinsic value, but also for the ecosystem services it underpins. Yet biodiversity is in crisis, with up to 1 million animal and plant species at risk of extinction, many within de...

Digital commons and architecture's self-image (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The research frames an emerging visual culture of display and observation that relies on the staging of architecture and the city not ‘as’ but ‘for’ the image. This does not concern strictly the building as visual object (Jencks 2006; Brigden 2019),... Read More about Digital commons and architecture's self-image.
From ecological idealism to ecological relativism (…or ecological ethics): A comparative tale on William Lever’s Port Sunlight (1888) and Enrico Loccioni’s Leaf Community (2007). (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
A characteristic of the 21st century for urban and architectural knowledge is dealing with contemporary challenges such as a failure of traditional economic models, a technological turn, a human displacement across territories, and a shift in environ...

Courageous and compassionate teaching: International reflections on our responses to teaching geography during the pandemic (2023)
Journal Article
This paper reflects on what we learnt about teaching geography during the COVID-19 pandemic. We interrogate how we, as geography educators working in different contexts, navigated the novel teaching spaces created during the pandemic using two key re...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Economic vulnerabilities and pandemic mobilities: Mobility of low-income populations in İstanbul during the Covid-19 pandemic (2023)
Journal Article
This paper explores the everyday mobilities of low-income populations during the Covid-19 pandemic through a mixed-methods study in İstanbul. It shows how additional economic burdens brought by the Covid-19 pandemic interplay with low-income resident...

An automated machine learning approach for classifying infrastructure cost data (2023)
Journal Article
Data on infrastructure project costs are often unstructured and lack consistency. To enable costs to be compared within and between organizations, large amounts of data must be classified to a common standard, typically a manual process. This is time...

Smart materials for biomimetic building envelopes: Current trends and potential applications (2023)
Journal Article
To reduce the energy consumption of buildings and limit their impact on the environment, greater attention has been paid, in recent years, to adaptive building envelopes technologies. Combining the dual function of sensors and actuators, smart materi... Read More about Smart materials for biomimetic building envelopes: Current trends and potential applications.
Art and ecology: Encountering bee decline through creativity (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
As concern for bees’ survival becomes an increased focus of environmental conversations, projects that engage with bee decline have emerged as a visible fixture of the creative landscape. This invites the question of what role creative practitioners... Read More about Art and ecology: Encountering bee decline through creativity.
An investigation into grazing impacts by New Forest herbivores on inclosure and open woodland patch areas (2023)
Report
Several studies have researched the effects that ungulates can have on woodland ecosystems, however, limited applied research has been undertaken on the unique nature of the New Forest National Park. This research compares two small woodland parcels... Read More about An investigation into grazing impacts by New Forest herbivores on inclosure and open woodland patch areas.

These are persuasive numbers and statements – but who is he trying to impress?... Read More about Why is Keir Starmer ignoring the concrete and steel elephant in the room?.
Advancing South American water and climate science through multi-decadal convection-permitting modeling (2023)
Journal Article
The South America Affinity Group (SAAG) was established in early 2019 by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Water Systems Program as a community effort focused on improving hydroclimate science over South America. SAAG supports large... Read More about Advancing South American water and climate science through multi-decadal convection-permitting modeling.
Potential applications of photovoltaic technologies for biomimetic adaptive solar building envelopes (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Building envelope as an interface between the outside and inside of the building serves more than its loadbearing function and has a pivotal role in regulating and saving energy. This role necessitates the adaptability of the building envelope to the... Read More about Potential applications of photovoltaic technologies for biomimetic adaptive solar building envelopes.
