Designing folding interventions for positive moments (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Souyave, J., Treadaway, C., Fennell, J., & Walters, A. (2019). Designing folding interventions for positive moments

People living in the advanced stages of dementia are often confined to a bed or chair and spend many hours unoccupied. Hand-based activities that are ‘in the moment’ and provide stimulation have the potential to relieve agitation, reduce stress and p...

Considering institutional logics in building performance evaluation research (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Oliveira, S., & Baborska-Narożny, M. (2020). Considering institutional logics in building performance evaluation research. In L. C. Jain, A. Capozzoli, R. J. Howlett, & J. Littlewood (Eds.), Sustainability in Energy and Buildings, (701-710). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-32-9868-2_59

The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon potential analytical benefits of institutional theory in the study of building performance evaluation (BPE) practice. BPE studies have mostly been based on descriptive empirical insights with little concep... Read More about Considering institutional logics in building performance evaluation research.

Implementing the Santa Marta Urban Grammar - A pedagogical tool for design computing in architecture (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Costa, E., Verniz, D., Varasteh, S., Miller, M., & Duarte, J. (2019). Implementing the Santa Marta Urban Grammar - A pedagogical tool for design computing in architecture. In Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution: Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference (349-358)

We present a tool intended to enable non-expert users to apply and manipulate a shape grammar, SMUG, which encodes the urban design of informal settlements such as favelas. Such tool, the Interpreter, was developed considering that students would be... Read More about Implementing the Santa Marta Urban Grammar - A pedagogical tool for design computing in architecture.

Classifying urban geometry impact on solar radiation (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Lila, A., & Lannon, . S. (2019). Classifying urban geometry impact on solar radiation. In V. Corrado, E. Fabrizio, A. Gasparella, & F. Patuzzi (Eds.), Building Simulation 2019 (3406). https://doi.org/10.26868/25222708.2019.210595

This research introduces a novel way of classifying the built environment based on its geometrical features and its surroundings and link the classified buildings to its environmental performance. These features consist of urban block orientation wit... Read More about Classifying urban geometry impact on solar radiation.
