Computational and Manufacturing Strategies: Experimental Expressions of Wood Capabilities (SpringerBriefs in Architectural Design and Technology)

Buy

This book highlights computationally enabled and digitally fabricated strategies used in the design of a series of full-size wooden structures. It introduces theoretical foundations and then focuses on the possibilities that have emerged as a result of the material-aware processes. The case studies expound wood as one of the most suitable materials to experience the seamless framework introduced with the digital design-to-construction chain. Two main aspects of the pavilions constructed, developed in various international academic groups, are considered. On one hand the case studies explore tolerances of raw and engineered material intertwined with machine processing; they also address material enhancement through strip applications in timber construction. In addition, the structures are examined in the light of an extensible designing path, which acts as an interoperable procedure, bridging the virtual and the real.

Moodle 2.0 First Look
Moodle 2.0 First Look

The book looks at the main functional areas of Moodle that have significant new features, explains the new features and how to use them. It draws attention to significant differences from how things used to behave, and gives the reader an idea of the kind of consequences these changes will bring to them. If you are an existing Moodle user,...

Computational Chemistry: Reviews of Current Trends
Computational Chemistry: Reviews of Current Trends
There is no doubt that many of the readers of this book series wonder how the research/computational facilities will look like in the near future. It seems that the efficiency and compactness of the silicon-based computers are almost exhausted, and for significant progress one has to look for alternative solutions. A very...

Convergence of Project Management and Knowledge Management
Convergence of Project Management and Knowledge Management

Knowledge is power, but this is especially true for teams carrying out a project. As in other arenas, the effective use of knowledge is possible only if it is readily accessible, well organized, properly analyzed, and competently disseminated to meet the project needs. Knowledge gained from project failures or successes is vital for the long...

Theory of the Earth
Theory of the Earth
We need a new philosophy of the earth. Geological time used to refer to slow and gradual processes, but today we are watching land sink into the sea and forests transform into deserts. We can even see the creation of new geological strata made of plastic, chicken bones, and other waste that could remain in the fossil record for millennia or...
Functional and Dysfunctional Sexual Behavior: A Synthesis of Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology
Functional and Dysfunctional Sexual Behavior: A Synthesis of Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology
For a long time I was fascinated by trying to understand the behavioral, endocrine and neural mechanisms controlling rat sexual behavior, independently of whether such an understanding was of any use or not. My favorite afternoon distraction was to walk over to the lab and see how the experiments were going, and if possible I...
