The document discusses various components of building circulation systems, including approaches, entrances, path configurations, and vertical circulation such as stairs. It describes how the form and design of these elements can impact the user experience by directing movement, marking transitions between spaces, and establishing hierarchies. Configurations discussed include linear, radial, spiral, grid, and network patterns. Characteristics like enclosure, scale, and location are also addressed in relation to how they shape user perception and navigation.
This document provides information on different types of mapping, including cognitive mapping, behavioural mapping, and activity mapping. It discusses cognitive mapping as the process of encoding, storing, and manipulating experienced spatial information. Behavioural mapping is described as an objective method to observe and link human behavior to built environment attributes. Activity mapping involves recording the patterns and types of activities that people engage in within a space on a map. The document provides details on how to approach and represent each type of mapping to understand human spatial behavior and perceptions.
This document discusses the work and ideas of architect Charles Correa. It provides an overview of some of Correa's key buildings and principles, including his emphasis on open spaces connected to the sky, pluralism, and equity. It also contrasts his approach with Le Corbusier's, noting Correa believed architecture in each place should be unique rather than conforming to international styles. The summary highlights Correa's focus on the relationship between people and the natural environment in Indian architecture.
Circulation in architecture refers to the pathways that allow movement through buildings and spaces. Good circulation is essential to successful architecture as it determines how people experience the spaces. Circulation includes both horizontal pathways like hallways and vertical pathways like stairs. It also includes less obvious spaces like areas between furniture where people walk. The design of circulation significantly impacts how users experience and appreciate the architecture through movement.
The Street is a 800-room student hostel located in Mathura, India designed by Sanjay Puri Architects. The hostel is comprised of five linear blocks spanning four floors across a wedge-shaped site, designed to snake across the land and take advantage of natural ventilation. Key aspects include orientation for north-facing gardens and light, cross-ventilation openings between rooms, small breakout spaces at building turns, and sustainability features like rainwater harvesting and solar panels. The organic layout creates varied spaces and changing views within the six-acre site, and color accentuates the unique identity of each block.

The perceptual dimensions and urban designKU Leuven
This document discusses the perceptual dimensions of urban design. It begins by defining environmental perception and how people perceive and experience the built environment. It then explores key concepts like place identity, sense of place, and placelessness. Lynch's five elements of environmental images - paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks - are examined. The document also covers place differentiation, place theming, place marketing, and invented places. Environmental meaning and symbolism are discussed as well.
The document summarizes the existing conditions of the road network, land use patterns, built environment, and public spaces in Hackney central, London. It finds that the area has busy streets with traffic congestions and unclear pedestrian links, making it difficult to get around. It also has strong local landmarks like churches that provide clarity. However, the overhead railway line obstructs views and isolates some spaces. The pedestrian links and public spaces lack signage and have unsafe crossings, while green spaces are underdeveloped and underutilized.
The Kanchanjunga Apartments, designed by Charles Correa, are a direct response to the present culture, the escalating urbanization, and the climatic conditions for the region. They pay homage to the vernacular architecture that once stood on the site before the development in a number of ways. More on Kanchanjunga Apartments after the break.

He also designed the landscape for Sanskriti Kendra, a cultural center located near Delhi. For his projects, Shaheer emphasized merging Indian traditions with modern ideas. He paid close attention to cultural and historical contexts to rehabilitate local traditions sensitively. His designs were simple but effective in incorporating modern functions while respecting historic character. Shaheer's thorough understanding of culture and attention to detail ensured his restoration projects preserved heritage significance and became major tourist attractions.
Intentions in architecture by Christian Norberg SchulzShubhanshu Singh
The document discusses Christian Norberg-Schulz's views on intentions in architecture. It addresses how architects should work within the cultural intentions that give meaning to architectural forms. It questions how architecture can be made a sensitive medium that maintains visual order while accommodating functional differences. It explores how the relationship between task and solution can facilitate historical analysis and the adaptation of architectural traditions in modern ways through experimentation with new forms rather than borrowing old motives.
The document discusses the analysis of points of view using a conceptual space approach. It presents conceptual spaces as a framework for representing concepts and viewpoints. A conceptual space is defined as a set of functions mapping determinables like color or shape to values. Concepts are represented as subsets of a conceptual space. Points of view are defined relative to a conceptual space and determination base, and consist of a selection of relevant determinables, and a theory representing basic assumptions. The comparison of viewpoints is discussed in terms of their determinables, theories, and scope.

Place Attachment and Environmentally Responsible Behavior As A Result of Part...BHIConservancy
This study examined the relationship between place attachment and environmentally responsible behaviors as a result of participating in programs run by the Bald Head Island Conservancy (BHIC). The study hypothesized that participants who visited Bald Head Island more frequently would have higher place attachment. It also hypothesized that after a BHIC program, participants would rate the importance of environmental behaviors as the same or higher than their current participation. The results found significant positive correlations between number of visits and place attachment. It also found participants rated the importance of environmental behaviors higher after the program. The discussion recommends expanding the study with a larger sample size and surveying different participant groups.

Theories of Architecture and Urbanism Reflective TextAlya Faridz
Bandar Sunway is a dense township in Selangor, Malaysia with a diverse population ranging from working class to students to tourists. The site being analyzed includes a water theme park, hospital, hotels, shopping mall, and residential units. Christian Norberg-Schulz argues that spaces should be designed qualitatively based on a society's culture, not just quantitatively based on human morphology. While Bandar Sunway was intended to serve an upper-middle class, many residents are now poorer students and low-income foreign workers. Designing spaces for this population could include replacing expensive housing with affordable high-rise apartments near amenities and turning the private Sunway Lagoon into a public community park and activity center.
Place identity and environmental conditionsJenna Condie
This document discusses place identity and environmental conditions. It explores how place influences identity and interactions between people, with identity being multivoiced and dialogical. Living near railways can impact residents' sense of place through noise disruption, but they negotiate their agency and identities in adapting to this context. The document argues that both objective exposure measures and subjective responses to the environment must be considered to understand its influence, as no two people experience reality the same. Place identity matters for policymaking regarding behavior, health, well-being and social change in the face of environmental change.
Slides from a keynote talk at UX India 2014.
People have been creating together for thousands of years. Some of those people have written about their experience, and so we have the possibility of building on their wisdom. In this talk, Marc Rettig describes the age-old story of people who seek to have a creative voice through their work, and to connect their personal excitement and possibilities to the needs of the world. As this story repeats itself for many in the world of “user experience,” another familiar dynamic comes to light: the challenge of working in settings that express desire for creativity, but reward compliance. And therein lies a defining question of our time and our careers: where does profound creativity come from?
This document summarizes a case study on the social analysis of an urban community called Judicial Colony. It discusses how urbanization has led to social disorganization and higher crime rates. To address crime issues in 2013, the Judicial Colony administration implemented a security plan including security gates, guards, meetings, lighting, and promoting social cohesion. The study examines residents' satisfaction with security measures and social cohesion through surveys. Results show most residents agree the measures increased safety and social cohesion, though females were slightly more neutral. The study aims to evaluate the security plan and social factors' impact on community satisfaction.
This document is a seminar report that discusses how communities can be integrated into the innovation process to create value. It begins with an abstract that outlines how communities and innovation are strongly interrelated, with community interactions impacting the realization of innovations. The report then reviews literature on this topic and discusses the dilemma companies face in balancing explicit knowledge sharing with communities against protecting their own tacit knowledge assets. It presents communities as important for new innovations by enabling external collaboration, knowledge exchange and integration. The report recommends that companies process community contributions to access actionable insights and maintain communities as places to get customer feedback and support various phases of product development.
The document discusses key concepts in architecture and design. It defines architecture as the meaningful ordering of space that considers functional needs, spatial relationships, and communicating meaningful ideas about society. An architect must understand technical, functional, spatial, and communicative necessities. Buildings consist of structural systems to support loads and enclosure systems to shelter interior space. Interior design builds upon the defined architectural space.
Design communication (degree) assignment 1a-2015Chow Hong Da
This document outlines an assignment for an architecture course to develop sketching skills through on-site observation. Students are asked to choose a spatial sequence on campus and sketch exterior and interior spaces to demonstrate their understanding of architectural elements like structure, materials, scale and human use of space. They must select their best 4 sketches from the on-site work and present them on an A1 board with details for submission. The goals are to help students understand space in architecture and develop visualization and communication skills through direct observation and sketching of a real-world building site.
Housing: Opportunity, Security, and Empowerment for the Pooridspak
This document discusses housing as an important dimension of poverty reduction in Pakistan. It makes several key points:
1) Housing is a fundamental human need that provides security, but rapid urbanization and population growth have resulted in a shortage of over 4 million housing units in Pakistan, forcing many to live in slums.
2) Adequate housing ensures opportunity, security, and empowerment, which are key pillars for reducing poverty. Inadequate housing creates insecurity and disempowerment among the poor.
3) The number of households is growing faster than the population in most countries due to decreasing household sizes. This increases the demand for housing, posing challenges for housing supply especially in urban areas of developing nations

The Professional Identity of Indonesian English TeachersArdian Setiawan
This document discusses discrimination faced by non-native English teachers. It notes that while 80% of English teachers worldwide are non-native speakers, they are often viewed as less competent and preferred less than native English speakers. This discrimination is rooted in colonial ideologies that have created stereotypes positioning non-native teachers as the "Other". The researcher aims to understand how these perceptions shape the professional identity of Indonesian English teachers through focus groups and interviews with students, parents, teachers and others at a high school in Malang, Indonesia. Insights from postcolonial theory, social identity theory and dialogical self theory will inform the analysis. The study seeks to provide benefits for teacher training, policies and research on this important issue.
- Jane Austen's novels are preoccupied with questions of social status and class. She satirizes characters obsessed with social distinctions but shows that high rank does not necessarily indicate virtue.
- The term "gentleman" was complex in Austen's world. While some thought it meant not working, her characters show it refers more to education and conduct.
- Austen analyzes the pretensions of those who see themselves as superior to others. Her novels are largely concerned with satirizing people's attempts to assert their social status.

The document provides examples and resources for those interested in pursuing a career in experiential design.
This document summarizes a research paper that validates theories of urban crime in the city of Raipur, India. The paper discusses how the urban form and physical characteristics of cities can influence criminal activity. It reviews theories proposed by urban planners and criminologists dating back to the 1960s on factors like natural surveillance, accessibility, legibility and territoriality. The paper then analyzes crime data from Raipur between 2008-2014 to identify crime hotspots. Two areas of the city with different urban forms, Kabir Nagar and Moudhapara, are mapped based on occupancy rates, barriers, accessibility and other parameters to understand the relationship between urban design and crime. Fear mapping is also done based on local surveys to identify
chapter 5, public places urban spaces- Perceptual dimensionsAnila Cherian
This document discusses perceptual dimensions and environmental perception. It covers four dimensions of perception: cognition, affective, interpretative, and evaluative. Perception involves gathering and making sense of sensory stimuli like sight, sound, smell, and touch. Perception is influenced by social and cultural factors. Kevin Lynch's theory of the imageability of cities explored how people mentally map their urban environments based on elements like paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. Later criticism found that the social and emotional meanings people attach to places may be more important than their physical structure. The construction of place and sense of place are also discussed, as well as concepts of territoriality, placelessness, and invented places.
Altering the Physical Environment
There are three broad strategies for reducing crime opportunities through environmental design: defensible space, CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design), and situational crime prevention. Defensible space uses techniques like territoriality and natural surveillance to increase feelings of ownership and control over private spaces. CPTED focuses on access control, surveillance, and territorial reinforcement. Situational crime prevention aims to reduce opportunities for specific crimes through 25 techniques that increase efforts, risks, and reduce rewards around criminal acts. All three strategies analyze crime problems and seek to limit crime opportunities through environmental modifications and place management.
The document discusses the role of design and its relationship to community. It argues that design matters as a rudiment for securing the future and protecting the public interest by leveraging assets. Design is essential for creating practical and emotive places that aggressively make people happy. The document emphasizes that community matters and is made through shared histories, values, and cultures of desire for a place. Risk and infrastructure are also discussed in the context of permanence, beauty, sustainability and democracy. Overall the document stresses that design, community, values and infrastructure are all deeply interconnected and matter for shaping meaningful places.
The document discusses the objectives and methodology of basic design courses in architectural education. It aims to expose students to the visual elements of design like space, form, and surface through a sequence of specially designed exercises. Students are encouraged to develop their own spatial concepts based on direct experience rather than theory. The evaluation is based on how well students can redefine their work.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in human geography, including definitions of geography, place, space, scale, region, spatial distribution, diffusion, sense of place, and human-environment interaction. It discusses fundamental geographic concepts such as latitude and longitude, map projections, and core-periphery relationships. Examples are given to illustrate cultural regions, types of diffusion, and how places take on meaning for individuals.

The document discusses the relationship between dance and architecture. It notes that they both deal with practices of space, with dancers choreographing space through gestures and movement, and architects constructing habitat through spatial form. It quotes sources describing how space implies order and commands bodies by prescribing or proscribing gestures, routes, and distances. The document contrasts the static nature of architecture ("stasis") with the dynamic nature of dance ("ecstasy"), and how fundamental architectural elements can be put into action and relation through movement.
Arne Næss and the idea of an ontological thickness of the localAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :The urgency of the ecological crisis popularized since 1970 has been the occasion of a growing
interest in ontology. With the Norwegian philosopher Arne Næss, ontology will benefit from an epistemological
argumentation which constitutes the very crucible of his thought. From his point of view, ontology occupies a
central place in the resolution of the climatic phenomenon, since the destruction of nature that we are
experiencing in this century is the result of the deformation of our perception of the world and of ourselves in
her bosom. Hence an ontology defect. However, the place constitutes a dimension of the human. This article
questions the relevance of a thickness of the ontology of the local.
Keywords -ontology, epistemology, place, human, thickness, local
This document provides an overview of the origins and basic concepts of world geography. It discusses how geography originated with the ancient Greeks and Egyptians/Nubians, with the latter developing methods for measuring the Earth's circumference. Key concepts covered include the five themes of geography (location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions), geographic perspectives (spatial, ecological, historical, economic, cultural), branches of geography (physical, cultural, political, human, historical, urban, cartography), related fields (geometry, geodesy), and fundamental concepts (scale, spatial interaction, spatial diffusion, distributions).
Working Paper (PDF) for 100YSS 2012 session on Vessel Archives Heath Rezabek
Existential Risk, Human Survival, and the Future of Life in the Universe:
Interstellar Civilization through Vessel Archives.
PDF of working paper for 100YSS Conference in Houston TX, Sep 13-16 2012. Session is a proposal for a type of very-long-term archive as habitat.
The document outlines the five key themes of geography: (1) Location, (2) Place, (3) Human-Environment Interaction, (4) Movement, and (5) Regions. Location refers to where places are located and their absolute and relative positions. Place examines the physical and human characteristics of locations. Human-Environment Interaction considers how humans impact and are impacted by their environments. Movement discusses how people, goods, and ideas flow between places. Regions looks at how the world can be divided into defined areas based on various characteristics.
The document summarizes the goals of space exploration and the National Institute for Aerospace (NIAC). It outlines 14 goals of space exploration, including fulfilling humanity's desire to understand its place in the universe, seeking knowledge about how life evolved, searching for life in other worlds, and satisfying the human drive for exploration. It also describes NIAC's funding of innovative concepts and technologies to enable space settlement and exploration through its phase I and phase II proposal process. The document provides context for NIAC's Fellows meeting and workshop by outlining its vision and support of pioneering research.
This document discusses opposing paradigms of information architecture. The first paradigm follows a Cartesian model where value is determined by how something "depends" on external factors. The opposing paradigm discussed proposes that value is inherent in arrangements and space that optimize for bounded, sublinear growth. It suggests moving from methods focused solely on function to also consider complimentary practices and inherent order. The document advocates designing based on an approach where the designer, user and thing being made are "one", with the goal of arrangements pleasing oneself through an internal "mirror of self".
This document provides a list of review questions and answers for an art history exam on various topics related to ancient art and architecture from cultures like ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and prehistoric Europe. It includes questions about locations of sites like the Great Pyramids and Sphinx, architectural features common in the ancient Middle East, important figures in art history, and more. Some questions are followed by potential essay prompts exploring related topics in more depth.
Geography is the study of the earth and how people live on and use it. It includes five main themes: location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions. Location refers to where places are found through coordinates or landmarks. Place examines the physical and human characteristics of an area. Human-environment interaction considers how humans affect and are affected by their surroundings. Movement looks at how people and goods are transported. Regions are areas that share common features.

The document provides an overview of selected works by the author, including architecture projects and writings. It discusses key ideas in the author's approach to architecture, seeing it as a kind of spatial poetry that combines theory and reality through careful design. The author aims to empty themselves into each mark and considers the process of designing to be like writing.
The document is an annotated bibliography for a presentation titled "Waste in Place: The McRobies Gully Tip as Landscape". It includes summaries and excerpts from 12 sources that relate to landscapes and waste. The sources discuss topics such as how we relate to rubbish, electronic waste circulation, the archaeology of garbage, aesthetics of nature, ecology without nature, landscape as a process, terra nullius doctrine, body and landscape as complementary terms, and landscape as both revealing and concealing. Questions or suggestions for the presentation are requested at the end.
The Hyper’Classical Artist expresses the sacred. He causes others to participate in manifest reality as self-transcendent ecstasy. Hyper’Classical art invites self-transcendence enabling the viewer to transcend themselves.
When the culture and politics are harmonious and in sacred association true art appears. Where the sacred is absent, then the best art can do is meditate on the beautiful and bring people to feel that. But there is nothing beautiful without love.
True art is a sacred performance, an act of love. And the highest sacred performance can only occur in a sacred setting with a sacred culture and sacred society, transcending egoity.
Geography is the study of the earth and its features. It comes from Greek words meaning "to write or draw the earth." There are two main branches of geography - physical geography which studies natural features, and cultural geography which examines human activities and settlements. Key concepts in geography include location, place, regions, and the relationship between humans and the environment. Studying geography helps us understand the world and how people interact with the places where they live.

Landscape Ecological Urbanism is an emerging theory that synthesizes Landscape Urbanism and Urban Ecology. It focuses on the distribution and flows of landscape elements and ecosystems at multiple scales. The proposal for restoring the Pallikaranai marsh in Chennai, India using this approach demonstrates how it can be applied to ecologically sensitive urban design and regional planning. It involves widening drainage networks, using geosynthetic lining to filter wastes from the marsh, and gradually improving water quality over time with fresh water inputs.
Basic overview of the political, cultural and social influences on 20th century Architecture based on Kenneth Frampton's "Modern Architecture: A Critical History', for teaching fifth semester B.Arch students of University of Calicut.
Indian architecture under colonial rule was influenced by many styles. In the princely states, Mughal architecture declined and new styles emerged blending regional elements with British classical and Gothic styles. Princely palaces featured elements like durbar halls, rooms for European guests, and oil paintings. New towns incorporated British features like clock towers alongside indigenous styles. Regional variations also occurred as in Jaisalmer's havelis and Jaipur's geometric planning. Under the British, architecture expressed the ambiguous status of princely rulers retaining tradition but creating a modern India. Styles included Indo-Saracenic, Renaissance-Oriental, and Indo-eclectic fusions.

Critical Regionalism is an architectural approach that counters placelessness in Modern architecture by giving a sense of place and meaning through contextual forces. It is based on Phenomenology and the idea that Modern architecture lacked a sense of place. Critical Regionalism uses local climate, materials, and culture to inform design in a way that is modern but rooted to the unique qualities of a site. Key thinkers like Frampton, Tzonis and Lefaivre, and Aalto advocated for Critical Regionalism as a way to mediate universal influences with regional particularities.
Mangalavanam and old railway station ernakulamSurya Ramesh
The old Ernakulam Railway Station and adjacent Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary have fallen into decay after being abandoned and neglected. The railway station, built in 1902, lost significance when the station was relocated south to be closer to the developing port. Meanwhile, uncontrolled development has degraded the bird sanctuary through pollution and disrupted the fragile mangrove ecosystem. Conservation efforts are needed to restore the abandoned station and revive the now-dead bird sanctuary, but it may be too late for the sanctuary due to the extent of environmental damage. Public support and government initiative are required to conserve these historic and environmentally important sites.
This document discusses the importance of bird-friendly architecture and urban design. As urban areas continue to grow and habitats are fragmented, bird populations are declining. The document provides several strategies to encourage bird diversity and support bird habitats in urban areas, including creating green spaces with varied landscaping, shallow ponds, and food sources; using building materials and designs that provide nesting spaces; addressing issues like glass collisions and light pollution; and integrating habitat elements into architecture at all scales from cities to individual buildings. The goal is to thoughtfully design the built environment to support biodiversity and help bird populations thrive in urban settings.
Architecture and built form have been used for display of power by people, Governments, Monarchs etc. A study of how power manifests itself in Istanbul's Architecture through History.
This document describes the traditional Naalukettu dwelling structure in Kerala based on Vaastu principles. It outlines 18 rules that govern the shape grammar of the Padinjaredatu Mana dwelling design. These rules determine the central courtyard, orientation, proportional relationships between elements, and positioning of doors and windows according to energy grids and nodes. The document provides diagrams and examples applying the rules to generate the overall dwelling structure.
Vernacular architecture refers to construction methods that use locally available resources to meet local needs. It evolves over time based on the environmental, cultural, and historical context. While sometimes viewed as crude, it is important to current design. Vernacular architecture is indigenous to a place rather than imported. Examples include thatched huts, igloos, log cabins, and terraced housing. It is based more on local traditions and trial and error rather than formal architectural training.
Ricardo Bofill's architectural philosophy focuses on designs that are appropriate for their particular context in a cost-effective manner. He combines traditional and classical styles with modern technology and aims to create designs that are in harmony with local cultures. Bofill handles designs from the scale of cities and public spaces to individual buildings and furniture. He believes the only way to create new cities is to design monumental public spaces that interpret mankind's subconscious dreams.
Critical regionalism is an architectural approach that counters placelessness in modern architecture by incorporating contextual forces to give a sense of place and meaning. It was first defined by Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre, and further developed by Kenneth Frampton. Critical regionalism adopts modern architecture's progressive qualities but also values responses particular to the local context, with emphasis on elements like climate, topography, and materials rather than visual styles. It differs from regionalism by consciously engaging with universal principles rather than directly copying vernacular architecture. Examples of critical regionalism include works by Alvar Aalto, Jørn Utzon, and other architects who mediated universal and local influences.
This document lists examples of colonial architecture in India including churches such as St. Francis of Assissi in Goa and St. Mary's Church in Madras as well as forts including Fort William in Calcutta, St. George fort in Madras, and Fort St. George in Bombay. It also mentions Victoria Terminus and Victoria Memorial as examples of colonial architecture.
James Stirling was a British architect known for transitioning from Modernism to Postmodernism. He started with International Style buildings using traditional materials but with innovative designs. By the 1970s, his works showed more contextualism and reference to history. His most famous building, the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, displayed his powerful revised modernism through its geometric forms and use of color, though it had decorative elements.
The document discusses various architectural styles and movements from Expressionism to Postmodernism and beyond. Key points include:
- Expressionism featured distorted shapes, fragmented lines, and organic forms made possible by new concrete construction techniques.
- Postmodernism arose in the 1970s and rejected modernism's simplicity in favor of historical references, ornamentation, and unusual shapes and materials.
- Deconstructivism dismantled architectural elements and viewed buildings as non-linear "texts" with no fixed meaning.
- Current pluralistic architecture borrows from many sources and prioritizes environmental sustainability, technology, and responding to unique contexts.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
The document provides an overview of modernism and postmodernism in architecture from the late 19th century to the mid-1990s. It discusses how the Industrial Revolution led to new building materials and styles like iron, concrete and glass constructions. Modernism emerged in the early 20th century with architects like Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Gropius establishing the International Style characterized by rectilinear forms. Postmodernism arose in the 1960s-70s as a rejection of modernism's austerity, reintroducing ornament and historical references. Key figures discussed include Robert Venturi, Philip Johnson, Charles Moore, and Michael Graves.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

5. HOW MAN PERCEIVES SPACE?(WHAT EXACTLY IS SPACE) MAN’S SENSE OF ORIENTATION-SPATIAL INTUITION WHEN ASKED A DIRECTION, PEOPLE IN FLAT LANDS SAY EAST-WEST-NORTH OR SOUTH, BUT PEOPLE FROM HILLY AREAS SAY UP OR DOWN. ENVIRONMENT OR GEOGRAPHY PLAYS A PART HERE. HUMANS BASICALLY, AND PRIMITIVES, OR FARMERS OR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH NATURE ESPECIALLY, HAVE SPATIAL INTUITIONS AND ORIENTATIONS IN RELATION TO OBJECTS AND LOCALITIES. THE SPACE IDENTIFIED THUS IS COGNITIVE SPACE.
6. EARLY THEORY PHILOSOPHERS TRY TO DECIPHER THE IDEA OF SPACE IN DIFFERENT THEORY. Parmenides: Space cannont be imagined and therefore non-existent Leucippos: Space is real, but with no bodily existence Plato: Geometry is the science of space Aristotle: Space(topos) is a sum of all places, a dynamic field with directions and qualities. Lucretius and Kant: There are bodies and there is emptiness in which the bodies have their place, where they move.
7. EUCLIDEAN SACE- THE MEASURABLE, PHYSICAL SPACE-REPRESENTED BY ORTHOGONAL CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM. THIS IS AN ABSTRACT CONCEPT OF ARTIFICIAL SPACE WHERE MASS EXISTS. THEORY OF RELATIVITY- INSTEAD OF THE MASS, WHAT EXISTS IS A SERIES OF EVENTS- THE SPACE ATTAINS A FOURTH DIMENSION OF TIME. BUT THESE THEORY DO NOT CONSIDER THE ‘HUMAN’ ASPECTS OF SPACE- THE EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP TO ONE’S ENVIRONMENT.
8. SPACE PERCEPTION OF A PERSON IS THE SUM OF HIS MOTIVATIONS AND PAST EXPERIENCES(A FOREST AS SEEN BY A TRIBAL PERSON AND A CITY DWELLER), AND IT VARIES ACCORDING TO SITUATIONS(THE SAME ROAD EXPERIENCED BY SAME PERSON WHEN IN CAR OR WHEN WALKING). PIAGET: A PERSON RESPONDS IN A PARTICULAR WAY TO A SITUATION. THIS RESPONSE IS A COMBINATION OF AN ACTION BY THE PERSON ON THE ENVIRONMENT(ASSIMILATION), AND THE ACTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT ON THE PERSON(ACCOMMODATION), AS ARESULT OF WHICH, THE PERSON AND ENVIRONMENT SURROUNDING HIM IS MODIFIED TO OBTAIN A BALANCED EQUILIBRIUM (ADAPTATION). SUCH RESPONSES IS TERMED SCHEMATA. IN SIMPLER TERMS WE MAY SAY, THAT THE SPACE PHYSICALLY IS CONSTANT AROUND A PERSON, BUT HIS CHARACTER MAKES HIM PERCEIVE THE SPACE IN A WAY, AND MODIFIES ITS MEANINGS ACCORDING TO HIS PAST EXPERIENCES, AND THIS MODIFICATION HAS A PATTERN.(A LONE CHILD SCARED OF THE DARK, ASSOCIATING IT WITH DEMONS, BUT SAME CHILD, SAME SPACE, SAME DARKNESS IS NOT SCARY WHEN HE’S WITH A PARENT-IT IS NOT SCARY WHEN THERE IS NO DARKNESS, AND GRADUALLY AS THE CHILD GROWS UP, THE SPACE IS NOT SCARY EVEN WHEN IT IS DARK, EVEN WHEN HE IS ALONE. SO SAME PERSON POSSESSES VARIOUS SCHEMA PROVIDING VARIOUS PERCEPTIONS) A PERSON’S PERCEPTION OF SPACE- THE ACTUAL SPACE IS THE SUM OF SUCH PERCEPTIONS.
9. A SPACE IS EXPERIENCED IN IMMEDIATE PERCEPTION, AND AS A SUM OF SCHEMATA. FOR EG., A PLAYGROUND, IS EXPERIENCED FOR ITS OPENNESS AND THE FEEL IT CREATES(IMMEDIATE PERCEPTUAL SPACE), BUT IT IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THE NUMEROUS GAMES THAT HAPPENED THERE, THE VARIOUS EVENTS OF VARIOUS TIMES. TOGETHER THE EXPERIENCE AND SCHEMATA MAKE THE ‘IMAGE’ OF THE SPACE.THIS IS THE CONCEPT OF EXISTENTIAL SPACE- NOT EGO CENTRIC, NOR TOTALLY OBJECTVE. USUALLY THE SCHEMA IS ASSOCIATED WITH CULTURAL OR SOCIAL BACKGROUNDS.
10. FIVE SPACE CONCEPTS GROWING ABSTRACTION PHYSICAL, PRAGMATIC SPACE PERCEPTUAL SPACE EXISTENTIAL SPACE COGNITIVE SPACE ABSTRACT GEOMETRICAL SPACE
11. APART FROM PERCEPTION OF SPACE, THERE IS ALSO CREATION OF SPACE- EXPRESSIVE SPACE. CREATION IS USUALLY DONE BY THE ARCHITECT, SO IT IS AN ARCHITECTURAL SPACE. (ARCHITECT HERE IS ANY ONE WHO CREATES A SPACE- INCLUDING THE DWELLER HIMSELF). ARCHITECTURAL SPACE, OF COURSE, FORMS WITH REFERENCE TO PRAGMATIC, IT GIVES A PERCEPTION, GIVES COGNITIVE DIRECTIONS AND IS MADE OF CARTESIAN GEOMETRY. BUT IF IT DOES NOT PROPERLY EXPRESS THE EXISTENTIAL SPACE, IT LOSES ITS QUALITY. SO ARCHITECTURAL SPACE IS OR SHOULD BE THE CONCRETIZATION OF EXISTENTIAL SPACE.
12. ARCHITECTURAL SPACE THEORY AND STUDIES ARE USUALLY CONFINED TO EITHER THE GEOMETRY OF THE SPACE(THE 3D FORM AND VOLUME INSIDE, ITS RELATION TO EXTERIOR ETC.), OR TO THE IMMEDIATE PSYCHOLOGIC PERCEPTION OF SPACE. NITSCHKE: SPACE HAS A CENTRE-THE PERCEIVING MAN, ITS DIRECTIONS CHANGE WITH MOVEMENTS OF THE MAN, SO IT IS NOT NEUTRAL, BUT HETEROGENEOUS AND SUBJECTIVE-ITS DISTANCES RELATIVE TO MAN. BUT THIS CANNOT BE USED TO DEFINE ARCHITECTURAL SPACE, SINCE ARCHITECTURAL SPACE CAN EXIST EVEN WHEN THE HUMAN IS NOT ‘INSIDE’ IT, EXPERIENCING IT. IT IS INDEPENDENT. MANY OTHER THEORY TRY TO DEFINE ARCHITECTURAL SPACE IN TERMS OF PERCEPTIONS AND EXPERIENCES.
13. DAGOBERT FREY: ARCHITECTURE IS A STRUCTURING OF SPACE BY MEANS OF A GOAL AND A PATH. A HOUSE HAS A SPECIFIED MOVEMENT, FROM ENTRANCE TO EACH ROOM, THROUGH THIS SEQUENCE OF MOVEMENT, THE ARCHITECTURE IS EXPERIENCED. HERE THE START IS WITH THE PHYSICAL SPACE, AND PERCEPTION OR EXPERIENCE COMES LATER, MAKING THE DEFINITION MORE CONCRTE. RUDOLF SCHWARZ: MAN CANNOT PLAN THE WORLD WITHOUT DESIGNING HIMSELF. THAT IS, A PERSON’S CHOICE OF LAND AND THE WAY HE BUILDS SUIT HIS WAY OF LIFE.
14. KEVIN LYNCH: (ON CITIES) MAN’S ORIENTATION PRESUPPOSES HIS ENVIRONMENTAL IMAGE, A PRODUCT BOTH OF IMMEDIATE SENSATION AND OF THE MEMORY OF PAST EXPERIENCE, USED TO INTERPRET INFORMATION AND TO GUIDE ACTION. HERE WE SEE CORRESPONDENCE TO THE SPACE SCHEMATA, AND THE INTERPRETATION OF CITY AS AN EXISTENTIAL SPACE. LYNCH: THE WORLD MAY BE ORGANIZED AROUND A SET OF FOCAL POINTS, OR BE BROKEN INTO NAMED REGIONS, OR BE LINKED BY REMEMBERED ROUTES. THIS, IS THE TAKING POINT OF OUR STUDY OF ARCHITECTURAL SPACE AS EXISTENTIAL SPACE.
15. TILL NOW THE THEORY SAY THAT SPACE IS EXISTENTIAL-WITH THE PERCEPTION AND SCHEMATA. BUT HEIDEGGER SAYS THAT EXISTENCE IS SPATIAL. THE SPACE IS THERE, AND ONLY IF IT IS THERE, CAN MAN EXIST. AND ONCE MAN DWELLS(AS IN THINKING) ON THE SPACE, OR UNDERSTANDS IT, THEN HE CAN BUILD, AND PHYSICALLY DWELL. BULLNOW: A CONCRTE SPACE IS TO CONSIDERED IN ITS TOTALITY, INCLUDING THE EVENTS EXPERIENCED IN IT, AND THIS SPACE SHOULD EXPRESS AND REFLECT THE PERSON LIVING AND EXPERIENCING IN IT- ONLY THEN THE SPACE ATTAINS THE QUALITY OF EXISTENTIAL SPACE.
16. THE ELEMENTS OF EXISTENTIAL SPACE IN CONTINUATION WITH LYNCH’S THEORY(DISCUSSED EARLIER) OF WORLD AS PLACES WITH A CENTRE FOR EACH, AS A PATH OR AS NAMED REGIONS, WE ALSO LOOK AT PIAGET’S CONCEPTS WHERE HE SAYS THAT THE SCHEMATA OF PERCEPTION CONSISTS OF ESTABLISHMENT OF CENTRES OR PLACES(PROXIMITY), DIRECTIONS OR PATHS(CONTINUITY) AND AREAS OR DOMAINS(ENCLOSURE). THIS IS IN AGREEMENT WITH MOST THEORY ON EXISTENTIAL SPACE, INCLUDING HEIDEGGER’S.
28. HODOLOGICAL SPACE- PREFERRED PATH, NOT NECESSARILY STRAIGHT LINE, BUT A DECISION BASED ON SHORT DISTANCE, SAFE ROUTE, MAXIMUM EXPERIENCE, MINIMAL WORK ETC.
29. AREA AND DOMAIN AXIS MUNDI- FOUR QUARTERS- THE TERM ‘QUARTER’ IS STILL USED TO DEFINE A SPACE OF DWELLING. A CITY CENTRE DEFINED LIKE JAIPUR, WHICH HAS A CHARACTER, IN CONTRAST TO FORT KOCHI. GLOBALISED WORLD-NO DEFINITE DOMAIN.
30.
31. ELEMENTARY INTERACTION NOMADS: IMPORTANCE TO THE WEB OF PATHS FORMING DOMAINS WITHIN. AGRICULTURAL CIVILIZATIONS: CENTRE IS IMPORTANT EGYPTIANS: PATH IS IMPORTANT. LIFE-DEATH MOVEMENT. FOR A SPACE, THERE IS AN INSIDE AND AN OUTSIDE- THE DEFINITION OF THIS, GIVES IDENTITY- THE SPACE OF DWELLING EXPRESSES THE PERSONALITY. AND THIS INSIDE’S RELATION TO OUTSIDE IS THROUGH OPENINGS.
32. THE ELEMENTS THAT DEFINE SPACE HAVE A HIERARCHY OF LEVELS GEOGRAPHY- INTERACTION WITH NATURE URBAN- SOCIAL INTERACTION HOUSE- TERRITORY- EXTENDED BODILY MOVEMENTS FURNITURE- SIZE OF BODY HAND- GRASPING INTERACTION OF LEVELS CONSTITUTE STRUCTURE OF EXISTENTIAL SPACE. THE LEVELS MAY BE DEVELOPED OR NOT-GEOMETRICAL OR TOPOLOGICAL- THERE IS VARIATION.
33. GEOGRAPHY ‘THOUGHT’, NOT ‘LIVED’ GIVES IDENTITY- CULTURAL, POLITICAL, ECOLOGICAL, ECONOMIC. A ‘COSMOLOGICAL’ LEVEL ALSO EXISTS. LANDSCAPE ANCIENT CITIES SITUATED IN AREAS THAT WERE SIGNIFICANT SOMEHOW- AS ON A ‘PATH’, OR WITH A ‘PROTECTION’(DOMAIN DEFINED BY NATURAL BARRIERS), OR GAVE A CHARACTERISTIC IDENTITY. THE ‘FORM’ AND ‘FORMLESSNESS’ OF LANDSCAPE.
34. URBAN STARTED AS ‘FOOTHOLD’ PLACE TO MAN THE TOWN IS CLOSED- BUT COMMUNICATES WITH OUTSIDE THROUGH MEANINGFUL OPENINGS. IT HAS A DENSITY- IT IS INTIMATE ACTIVITIES ‘TAKE PLACE’ HERE. WITHIN URBAN LEVEL, MAN HAS A PRIVATE EXISTENTIAL SPACE, WHICH GRADUALLY DEVELOPS WITH HIS SOCIALIZATION. HOUSE PRIVATE-SITUATED. BUT SOME HAVE A PUBLIC CHARACTER-DWELL ING TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY. IN HOUSE MAN FINDS HIS IDENTITY. WE FOLLOW DOMAIN-DOMINATED LANDSCAPE THRU’ PATH-DOMINATED CITY TO PLACE-DOMINATED HOUSE- GROWING IN PRECISION AND FORM.
35. THE THING MAXIMUM PRECISE FORM-SERVES AS FOCUS-BED/FIREPLACE ETC. CUPBOARDS THAT PROTECT FROM A CHAOS- THEY CAN BE OPENED AND CLOSED- ACTIONS OF HIDING AND REVEALING. THE INTERACTION OF LEVELS IN THINGS, EVERYTHING IS FOCUSSED, IN NATURE, EVERYTHING IS CONTAINED-IN BETWEEN IS MAN’S DWELLING. TODAY MAN HAS LOST NATURE LEVEL TO A GREAT EXTENT. THE HOUSE LEVEL CHANGES CHARACTER TO PRIVATE OR PUBLIC. AND LEVEL OF THINGS, WHICH SHOULD BE WITHIN GRASP, IS NOT THERE AS THEY ARE ‘USE AND THROW’. LEVELS ALSO ‘REPRESENT’ EACH OTHER SOMETIMES. LEVELS CONTAIN EACH OTHER- KNOWN PLACES IN A TOWN, ROOMS IN A HOUSE…
36. CONCLUSION DEVELOPMENT OF EXISTENTIAL SPACE FOR A PERSON IS IMPORTANT THE EXPERIENCE OF SPACE IS THE TENSION BETWEEN THE EXISTENTIAL SPACE AND THE OCCUPIED SPACE AT THE MOMENT. SACRED PLACES ARE CONSTRUCTED WHEN A SPACE OF INTIMATE FEELING BECOMES PUBLIC- THAT IS ALL WHO ARE AT THE PLACE FEEL IT.
