The document discusses four hybrid architecture projects by Steven Holl:
1. Sail Hybrid in Knokke-Heist, Belgium which combines a restored casino, hotel/apartment tower, and congress hall.
2. Linked Hybrid in Beijing, China consisting of 8 apartment towers linked on the 20th floor to create urban spaces.
3. Meander in Helsinki, Finland a meandering 180m glass building containing 49 apartments.
4. Herzog & de Meuron's plans for a new 36,000 seat stadium and 750 apartments in Portsmouth, UK.
The document discusses the author's research focus on nanostructured solar cells and their photo-current and dark-current characteristics. Specifically:
- The author has studied nanostructured solar cells for 10 years and believes understanding their unique current characteristics could enable high-efficiency, low-cost 3rd generation solar cells.
- Initial experiments using quantum dots in solar cells reduced efficiency contrary to expectations, due to increased dark current from thermal generation in the depletion region and use of type I rather than type II quantum dots.
- The author previously made important discoveries regarding the anomalous photovoltaic effect in semiconductors and showing electric fields can modify the critical temperature of high-temperature superconductors, contrary to previous beliefs
This document contains summaries of four projects that explore innovative and sustainable approaches to architecture:
1) A five-story green wall in Paris incorporates over 200 plant species to transform a concrete wall into living architecture.
2) Conceptual renderings depict a future city where plants harness solar energy and cover the urban landscape.
3) A house in New Zealand is built on sleds so it can be moved during storms to avoid destruction from coastal erosion.
4) A cardboard cathedral was rapidly constructed in Christchurch, New Zealand after an earthquake using paper tubes, shipping containers and a lightweight skin to serve community needs.
The document provides details about several of Alun Dolton's academic projects from his time studying architecture from 1993 to 1999. It summarizes key projects including exploring the urban environment of Birmingham and industrial voids, proposals for rowing clubs and educational centers, and a sustainable building project for the UK-ISES Headquarters in Doncaster focusing on solar energy and energy efficiency. It also provides details on his dissertation and final year project developing a proposal for an archive building in Birmingham to house the city's historical documents and artifacts.
An intelligent building envelope adapts to its environment through perception, reasoning, and action. This allows it to cope with new situations and solve problems that arise from interacting with the environment. Several examples of intelligent and responsive building envelopes are described:
1) An algae facade in Germany that produces energy. Algae grow on the facade and heat water as they photosynthesize, harnessing this heat.
2) A light-responsive facade in Abu Dhabi with moveable sun screens that open at night to allow views while deflecting glare during the day.
3) A smog-eating facade for a Mexico City hospital coated with a material that uses titanium dioxide and UV light to destroy

“Steember” is the result of study for the redevelopment and requalification of an abandoned lot situated in Queens, New York City, on Vernon Boulevard.
The guidelines are given by The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) which yearly organizes “TIMBER IN THE CITY: Urban Habitats Competition” for the 2018-2019 Academic Year.
The competition is a partnership between the Binational Softwood Lumber Council (BSLC), the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) and the School of Constructed Environments (SCE) at Parsons School of Design. The program is intended to engage students to imagine the transformation of existing cities through sustainable buildings from renewable resources, offering expedient, affordable construction, innovating with new and traditional wooden materials, and designing healthy living and working environments. The main focus is the interrelationship between housing, healthy, early childhood education and climate change.
The competition challenges participants to re-imagine a vacant waterfront site in Queens, New York as a vibrant and vanguard model of healthy, biophilic living for the future of the city.
The first part of the project started with a phase of urban analysis to pinpoint the requirements of the local population, considering that a huge and cosmopolitan city as New York is already full of functions and diversity. After this, a functional program was organized and then implemented in an urban masterplan. The whole project contains three buildings with three different functions: an early childhood education centre, a community wellness centre and the main building which is a residential high rise tower.
The architectural project of the residential building was studied with the goal to guarantee different typologies of dwelling units, in order to cover many residential market segments. The design process followed an integrated approach, considering together the architectural, structural, technological and energy aspects.
Great attention has been paid to the technological and energy part of the project, with the goal to reach a building which can be mostly prefabricated and which is extremely energy efficient.
Every aspect of the project has been systematically developed with deep analysis and specific software simulations. Then, the results have been implemented according to a multi-disciplinary approach, finding out the best architectural or engineering solution.
The document discusses the installation process of solar energy systems in buildings, including considerations like the number and type of solar panels needed based on electricity consumption. It explains that thin-film panels are better for shaded sites and cheaper than crystalline panels, and the installation involves mounting the panels, wiring an inverter to convert DC to AC current, and connecting to the utility grid.
The National Graphene Institute in Manchester, UK is a new state-of-the-art research facility dedicated to studying graphene. It contains two highly controlled clean rooms where graphene research will take place. The building was designed by Jestico + Whiles and built by BAM Construct to meet stringent vibration standards required for the sensitive graphene experiments. Key aspects of the design include locating the primary clean room in the basement on bedrock, and structuring the building with a separate central utilities block to isolate vibration sources from the laboratories. The black steel cladding of the building features hexagonal perforations representing graphene's structure.

This document discusses supercapacitors and their potential as an alternative to batteries. Supercapacitors store electrical charge electrostatically at the interface between an electrode and electrolyte, giving them a higher power density than batteries. They can charge and discharge much faster than batteries, within seconds, but have a lower energy density. The document outlines the basic structure and operation of supercapacitors, comparing their performance to lithium-ion batteries. It examines research areas aimed at optimizing supercapacitors and their applications in fields like electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Supercapacitors show promise for applications requiring high power delivery over long lifecycles.
This document outlines Kate Le Masurier's architectural portfolio from September 2013 to December 2015. It includes 6 projects: a writer's retreat on Crammond Island in 2013, a family home with photography studio in Portobello in 2014, a residential apartment block in Edinburgh in 2014, a public library in Madrid in 2015, and a proposal to retool a disused power station in Cockenzie into a factory producing tidal breakwaters using the site's existing infrastructure. For each project, the brief and images of concept diagrams, models, and drawings are displayed.

Earthscraper - An Underground Way Of Livingsoumya2492
Great cities have great skylines--yet those same skyscrapers have the unfortunate effect of ruining historic districts and overshadowing beautiful buildings from the past. An architecture firm based in Mexico City, has come up with an ingenious solution: The Earthscraper. It’s a skyscraper in reverse, which tunnels deep into the earth like an inverted pyramid. The Earthscraper would be built right underneath the Mexico city’s largest square ie. the Zocalo Square. Guys, we are talking about the underground skyscraper, 65 stories deep, with each floor getting progressively smaller. The presentation deals with the theory of such future realistic project in technical details along with its side effects on the environment.
Supercapacitors or EDLCs (i.e. electric double-layer capacitors) or ultra-capacitors are becoming increasingly popular as alternatives for the conventional and traditional battery sources. This brief overview focuses on the different types of supercapacitors, the relevant quantitative modeling areas and the future of supercapacitor research and development. Supercapacitors may emerge as the solution for many application-specific power systems. Especially, there has been great interest in developing supercapacitors for electric vehicle hybrid power systems, pulse power applications, as well as back-up and emergency power supplies. Because of their flexibility, however, supercapacitors can be adapted to serve in roles for which electrochemical batteries are not as well suited. Also, supercapacitors have some intrinsic characteristics that make them ideally suited to specialized roles and applications that complement the strengths of batteries. In particular, supercapacitors have great potential for applications that require a combination of high power, short charging time, high cycling stability and long shelf life. So, let’s just begin the innovative journey of these near future of life-long batteries that can charge up almost anything and everything within a few seconds!

COMPETITION “INTERNATIONAL VELUX AWARD 2014”
organizer: velux, kopenhagen, denmark
the theme: project of urban installation
group work: three students and academic teacher
“tree of connections” is the proposal of installation whose main purpose is to stimulate spaces
of urban squares and streets. concept has been shown on the example of old post-communist
alley in one of cracow's districts. The space is completely empty and extinct.
our tree is consists of a steel core and their “fruits”: cubical batteries simultaneously acting the
role of a solar collector and Illuminants. external layer of the cube is made of tempered glass
under which dye -sensitized solar cell panel is located, allowing tree to “photosynthesise” like a
real plant. the product of this process - the energy is stored in a lithium-ion battery. internal layer
of the cube is made of frosted glass to diffuse the light generated by a luminescent layer. neodymi-
um magnet allows to attach one detacheble cube to antoher creating dynamic, changeable form
of the tree. The cube includes a display, usb ports and power socket for electronic devices. the
whole process involves charging the batteries on the tree, bring them to home by people and using
this energy, re-adherence of them and charging.

22. Poland is a country with a rich history and culture. selecting for a semester project topic related to wine and tourism I had in mind the rich qualities of
lands near Krakow. In the village “Rudno” are located impressive ruins of a medieval castle once belonged to the town of Tenczyn. in the xvii and xviii century
near the castle was a vineyard. a convenient slope inclination in the south-west towards and the microclimate space helped in the production of wine. the
archetype of a village is a wooden house with a gable wall. So I suggested vineyards in conjunction with spa in the form which main theme is gable roof.

24. Developed project shows the house consists of two parts. Both zones
are separated from one another which favors the mutual use of the
usable space at the same time. On the ground floor there are classrooms
where students are completing knowledge of energy-efficient construc-
tion and real-time checking technology to work for central heating and
thermal collectors. On the first floor whereas persons visiting the
campus can get some sleep and rest. The form is wrapped reinforced con-
crete frame, which "mulched" the rest of the body and the interior of the
house. Its expression is in contrast with the selected materials which laid
sheet seam are particular importance in the concept. On the ground floor
are the rooms such as a computer room with kitchenette, laundry, tech-
nical room, cloakroom, conservatory and pattern studio. On the first
floor are bedrooms. The house is zoned in accordance with the guidelines
of designing energy-efficient homes and has a state of the technology in its
class.
On the basis of an agreement signed between the Technical University of
Cracow and the school team Licee Le Corbusier has been organized
student exchange, which resulted in numerous workshops and exchange
of experiences shared between both sides in Strasbourg and Cracow. The
task associated with a degree in engineering and student exchange was the
location. Taking advantage of the undeveloped land on campus has been
developed urban project including the energy-efficient homes which was
designed in guidelines from the last competition for the redevelopment of
the campus. The purpose of the assumption is to provide students of tech-
nical colleges place for work and leisure.
The campus is a school complex in oriented knowledge of the construc-
tion industry, computer graphics, architectural and urban design.
Currently, Licee Le Corbusier much attention is paid to energy-efficient build-
ings where students learn about new passive technologies. Our task was
to propose a new quarter of prototype energy-efficient houses.

25. Each outer partition has been designed to heat conductivity coefficient was
less or equal to U = 0,20W/m2K which conforms to the requirements of
regulations of the European Union. Thermal insulation in the building are
the airgel mats with an extremely low coefficient of heat transfer and
heat recovery technology based on facade thermal collectors. Thermal
bridges are offset by isothermal media.
The whole project is conceptually coherent in part of urban, architectur-
al and technical way. The development will be presented in the future to
didactic units of specialized schools at Licee Le Corbusier.
