Using interactive evolution to design behaviors for non-deterministic self-organized construction (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Self-organizing construction is an emerging subdomain for on-site construction robots. This not only presents new challenges for robotics, but due to the stochasticity involved in such systems, impacts the modeling and prediction of resulting built s...

Full hydrodynamic reversibility of the weak dimerization of vancomycin and elucidation of its interaction with VanS monomers at clinical concentration (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Author(s). The reversibility and strength of the previously established dimerization of the important glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin in four different aqueous solvents (including a medically-used formulation) have been studied using sh...

Meta-parametric design (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Elsevier Ltd Parametric modelling software often maintains an explicit history of design development in the form of a graph. However, as the graph increases in complexity it quickly becomes inflexible and unsuitable for exploring a wide design... Read More about Meta-parametric design.

Engineering Archilace (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Archilace is the name of a new construction technique for generating spatial structures originally developed by the artists Loop.pH. This paper introduces the original method and subsequent collaborative work between Loop.pH and Ramboll Computational... Read More about Engineering Archilace.

The Ongreening Pavilion (2015)
Book Chapter

This paper describes the work of Ramboll Computational Design during the design and construction of the Ongreening Pavilion timber gridshell. The structural approach involved form-finding bending-active timber laths, connected at intersections to form... Read More about The Ongreening Pavilion.

The Generator 2.0 (2013)
Book Chapter

It has been over 30 years since the original conception of the 'Generator' by Cedric Price. A project that in his own words was ?little to do with problem solving, rather creating the desirable conditions and opportunities hitherto thought impossible... Read More about The Generator 2.0.

Associative spatial networks in architectural design: Artificial cognition of space using neural networks with spectral graph theory (2011)
Book Chapter

This paper looks at a new way of incorporating unsupervised neural networks in the design of an architectural system. The approach involves looking the whole lifecycle of a building and its coupling with its environment. It is argued that techniques...

Associative spatial networks: Artificial cognition of space using neural networks with spectral graph theory (2008)
Thesis

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...
