Towards the LIVING Envelope: Biomimetics for building envelope adaptation (2012)
Thesis
Badarnah, L. Towards the LIVING Envelope: Biomimetics for building envelope adaptation. (Thesis). Delft University of Technology. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/942071

Several biomimetic design strategies are available for various applications, though the research on biomimetics as a design tool in architecture is still challenging. This is due to a lack of systematic design tools required for identifying relevant... Read More about Towards the LIVING Envelope: Biomimetics for building envelope adaptation.

Learning and continuous process improvement during new product development (2010)
Thesis
Chatzimichali, A. Learning and continuous process improvement during new product development. (Thesis). Democritus University of Thrace. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/978113

Consumer attitudes and fashion trends during the last decades increased the need for varied product designs, imposing severe constraints in manufacturing and especially in traditionally mass production processes. Additionally, the workforce is shifti... Read More about Learning and continuous process improvement during new product development.

Associative spatial networks: Artificial cognition of space using neural networks with spectral graph theory (2008)
Thesis
Harding, J. Associative spatial networks: Artificial cognition of space using neural networks with spectral graph theory. (Dissertation). University of East London. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/1018920

This work stems from a backdrop of cybernetics and associative computing closely related to the artificial simulation of the human brain. Using associative techniques, a system to comprehend complex inputs in order to make appropriate architectural i...

Meta-parametric design: Developing a computational approach for early stage collaborative practice
Thesis
Harding, J. (2014). Meta-parametric design: Developing a computational approach for early stage collaborative practice. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/824568

Computational design is the study of how programmable computers can be integrated into the process of design. It is not simply the use of pre-compiled computer aided design software that aims to replicate the drawing board, but rather the development...

Design behaviour and distributed cognition: A protocol study on the effect of design tools on the process of architectural design thinking
Thesis
Tahsiri, M. (2018). Design behaviour and distributed cognition: A protocol study on the effect of design tools on the process of architectural design thinking. (Thesis). University of Nottingham. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/864549

This thesis, is an explorative research, manifesting factors that influence the relationship between a designer and their design tool. The interest of the thesis is in the epistemic role of a design tool and how it can influence a designer’s thinking...
