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...

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.
Making cities smarter for an inclusive green transition towards a long-term sustainable development: A critical literature review (2023)
Journal Article
This review critically approaches the literature on smart cities while describing the significance of more value-based rationality and more reflexive practice for constructing smart cities, rethinking how human experiences are approached to improve i...
