The document analyzes the G-Tower building in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia through the lens of Robert Venturi's theory of "dual functioning elements" and "complexity and contradiction in architecture." It identifies several examples of how the G-Tower incorporates dual meanings and functions in its design, such as vegetation-covered columns that provide shade and aesthetic appeal while also separating interior and exterior spaces, and a bridge bar that serves as both a corridor and a dining area with panoramic views. The analysis shows how the G-Tower exemplifies Venturi's concept of spaces having multiple interconnected functions to enhance the experience of occupants.

Three dimensional biomechanical analysis of the drag in penalty corner drag f...Alexander Decker
This document analyzes the biomechanics of the penalty corner drag flick in field hockey through 3D motion analysis. It studied four specialized male drag flickers from two universities. Video analysis captured joint angles, velocities and accelerations during the drag flick. Statistical analysis found several kinematic variables differed significantly between the universities, including drag distance, shoulder and pelvis linear velocities, and angular velocities and accelerations of various joints. This suggests differences in drag flick technique influence accuracy. The study aimed to provide biomechanical information to help coaches and players enhance drag flick performance.

This workshop focused on designing housing based on three starting words: washing, thinking, and armchair. The team analyzed the meanings and cultural associations of the words to develop a narrative set in a Laotian village. They studied the community's activities, space uses, and impact of the local climate. The resulting architectural proposal was centered around vernacular techniques and materials to contribute to the community's identity. The design embraced the local and vernacular as the source of the community's story and history, rather than imposing foreign elements. The conclusion was that the answer lies in embracing the identity of the inhabitants.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

3. Architecture in its very essence is a service-oriented art. It
considers the unique needs of users of a space and gives them
the opportunity to connect to each other and the world around
them. By responding to these needs through careful attention
to the character of the site, utilization of sustainable materials
and practices, and habits and patterns of the inhabitants of the
space, I work to create active, reactive, and interactive spaces
that encourage the user to truly engage with their surround-
ings. With this approach to architecture, my projects consider
the beauty of a space, respect and celebrate the surrounding
environment, and allow the users to truly live in the space.
These elements are considered carefully to create meaningful
and thought-provoking experiences that engage and challenge
the user. Every space provides a moment through which a
person can open themselves to the world.

4. Bike Station (Clemson, SC)
The intent of this project is to create a space that empowers and motivates the Clemson community to both interact with each
other and become more aware of the potential for sustainability within the community. Based off an analysis of the song “Dissolve”
by the Chemical Brothers (shown to the right), the projects takes the rhythm of music and forms an active structure, encouraging
residents to interact with each other and their community in a sustainable way. Bike hubs are placed strategically throughout the
town and campus to give residents the incentive to choose to act and use eco-friendly routes of transportation. Solar panels are
used to power the Bike Station on the first floor of the building, creating a noticeable icon for passerbys to remind them of the
importance of sustainability in our culture. Finally, the apartments above are designed to have one common route of entry/ depar-
ture, encouraging the residents of this community to engage with each other on a daily basis.

10. Train Station (Anderson, SC)
This project was designed to create a space in which passengers could rest and
take in their surroundings as they wait for their train in downtown Anderson.
This building is highly reactive to the site, opening out in a wedge-shaped
form, giving every person who enters the building a sense of the grandeur and
the beauty of the hills of Anderson. Atrium spaces are placed strategically to
encourage the users to pause and react to the elegant simplicity of the nature
surrounding them. This design gives the users an opportunity to be tranquil in
what would otherwise be a hectic scene of transition.

This project, created in collaboration with Joy Newberry creates a safe haven 2.
in the form of a dormitory school for young girls. Designed to create a sense
of ownership, the school is centrally designed to focus on a garden atrium
designed specifically for the use of the students. A greenhouse allows the
girls to interact with their surroundings and develop a sense of empower-
ment and responsibility for their environment by enabling them to grow their

own herbs and vegetables. Privacy screening provides privacy for the girls’ N
rooms as well as absorbing sound from the atrium to create a peaceful yet
vibrant space where the girls are enabled to live, learn, and grow.

18. Portfolio Case (Sophomore Fall 2010)
The intent of this project is to create a display of the work accomplished over the
course of the first semester sophomore studio. This box is created to be in interactive
exploration of four projects. The box is made of 16 rectangular modular pieces that
each have part of a composition demonstrating the work accomplished with the various
projects. It is designed to be assembled by connecting the magnetic ends of each
module to display completed pictures on all four elevations of the box. These modules
can then be rotated to display a different image on each side, providing a variety of
options for the final composition of the box based on the user’s preference.

22. Art Museum (Greenville, SC)
This project creates a folk art museum in the heart of downtown Greenville. It was
designed through multiple physical iterations of models based on analyses of the site
(palimpsest drawings) and careful examinations of the site conditions. This design is an
exploration of the idea of taking planes and folding them along key site lines to form
spaces that engage the user and connect them to the art on display, the surrounding
context, and the other people using the space.
