▼ An accurate statistical representation of hydrological
processes is of paramount importance to evaluate the uncertainty of
the present scenario and make reliable predictions in a changing
climate. A wealth of historic data has been made available in the
last decades, including a consistent amount of remote sensing
imagery describing the spatio-temporal nature of climatic and
hydrological processes. The statistics based on such data are quite
robust and reliable. However, to explore their variability, most
stochastic simulation methods are based on low-order statistics
that can only represent the heterogeneity up to a certain degree of
complexity. In the recent years, the stochastic
hydrogeology group of the University of Neuchâtel has developed a
multiple-point simulation method called Direct Sampling (DS). DS is
a resampling technique that allows the preservation of the complex
data structure by simply generating data patterns similar to the
ones found in the historical data set. Contrarily to the other
multiple-point methods, DS can simulate either categorical or
continuous variables, or a combination of both in a multivariate
framework. In this thesis, the DS algorithm is adapted
to the simulation of rainfall and climate variables in both time
and space. The developed stochastic weather or climate generators
include the simulation of the target variable with a series of
auxiliary variables describing some aspects of the complex
statistical structure characterizing the simulated process. These
methods are tested on real application cases including the
simulation of rainfall time-series from different climates, the
variability exploration of future climate change scenarios, the
missing data simulation within flow rate time-series and the
simulation of spatial rainfall fields at different scales. If a
representative training data set is used, the proposed
methodologies can generate realistic simulations, preserving fairly
well the statistical properties of the heterogeneity. Moreover,
these techniques result to be practical simulation tools, since
they are adaptive to different data sets with minimal effort from
the user perspective. Although leaving large room for improvement,
the proposed simulation approaches show a good potential to explore
the variability of complex hydrological processes without the need
of a complex statistical model.

▼ Parametric design is a new approach to
architectural design based on the concept ofparameters. It utilises
parameters to set relations between design elements in order
todefine a range of formal alternatives. In this sense,
parametric
design provides greatopportunities for architects to engineer the
design process more efficiently; yet itsnovelty generates some
challenges for architectural practitioners. The aim of thisresearch
is to explore the position of
parametric design in contemporary
architecturalpractices, identifying its advantages and
disadvantages in comparison with traditionalcomputer-aided design
(CAD). Specifically, the research will compare the
theoreticalknowledge and the statements made by theorists and
scholars of
parametric design tothe statements of practicing
architects benefitting from the
parametric approach.This aim is
achieved through three thematic parts. The first part
investigatesthe design process through two points of view, focusing
on the notions of ‘role’ and‘driver’. The second part identifies
the position of
parametric design in practice,specifically focusing
on whether it is a style or just a set of techniques. Finally, the
thirdpart explores the advantages and disadvantages of
parametric
design and itsdistinctions in comparison to traditional CAD and
Building Information Modelling (BIM).The research uses the
qualitative method based on semi-structured interviews
withpracticing architects. It also benefits from a two-page
questionnaire, which is carriedout to get some detailed and
specific data regarding the
parametric realm.The outcome of this
research shows that, in spite of theoretical statementssuggesting
otherwise,
parametric design can be undertaken without the use
ofcomputer programs. Software packages facilitate the process of
design. Furthermore,the interviews conducted with architects in
practice show that they believe inparametric design as a set of
techniques. They do not recognise the new
style‘parametricism’.

▼ Parametric excitation of the DWSC (Deep Water Stable Craneship) is studied in this thesis. It occurs for a system without any external forcing, when one of the coefficients in the equation of motion (EOM) modeling the system varies with time.
Parametric instability might be triggered for certain values of the parameters describing the time-varying coefficient. The DWSC, basically a stepped classic spar with a catamaran as its deck, because of certain unique features, may be susceptible to
parametric excitation. This thesis examines the phenomenon of
parametric excitation with respect to roll motion in head seas, using time-domain simulation and stability analysis. It examines the DWSC's susceptibility to
parametric instability using the same methods of analysis and the effect of damping (especially viscous drag) on
parametric excitation and instability. The thesis uses Mathieu's equation as the basis for stability analysis and time-simulates the coupled heave-sway-roll EOM.
Time-domain simulation is done for two reasons: firstly for determining the variation in roll stiffness because of a regular wave (the variation in roll stiffness is an input to the stability analysis) and secondly for simulating the coupled heave-sway-roll EOM. Both time-domain analysis and stability analysis are done for sea states of interest and for examining interesting phenomena like roll resonance (due to body-wave interaction) and
parametric instability.
Results highlight: 1) a "cancellation frequency" in the heave wave exciting force; 2) the effect of viscous drag on coupled heave-sway-roll motions; 3) time-simulations validating the stability analysis; 4) the trend of stability with increasing sea states, wave periods and amplitudes; 5) characteristics of
parametric instability; 6) the methodology used to predict or detect
parametric instability and 7) the effect of viscous drag on
parametric instability.

▼ This dissertation is focused on geostatistical models, which are useful in many scientific disciplines, such as climatology, ecology and environmental monitoring. In the first part, we consider variable selection in spatial linear models with Gaussian process errors. Penalized maximum likelihood estimation (PMLE) that enables simultaneous variable selection and parameter estimation is developed and for ease of computation, PMLE is approximated by one-step sparse estimation (OSE). To further improve computational efficiency particularly with large sample sizes, we propose penalized maximum covariance-tapered likelihood estimation (PMLET) and its one-step sparse estimation (OSET). General forms of penalty functions with an emphasis on smoothly clipped absolute deviation are used for penalized maximum likelihood. Theoretical properties of PMLE and OSE, as well as their approximations PMLET and OSET using covariance tapering are derived, including consistency, sparsity, asymptotic normality, and the oracle properties. For covariance tapering, a by-product of our theoretical results is consistency and asymptotic normality of maximum covariance-tapered likelihood estimates. Finite-sample properties of the proposed methods are demonstrated in a simulation study and for illustration, the methods are applied to analyze two real data sets. In the second part, we develop a new semiparametric approach to geostatistical modeling and inference. In particular, we consider a geostatistical model with additive components, where the covariance function of the spatial random error is not pre-specified and thus flexible. A novel, local Karhunen-Loève expansion is developed and a likelihood-based method devised for estimating the model parameters. In addition, statistical inference, including spatial interpolation and variable selection, is considered. Our proposed computational algorithm utilizes Newton-Raphson on a Stiefel manifold and is computationally efficient. A simulation study demonstrates sound finite-sample properties and a real data example is given to illustrate our method. While the numerical results are comparable to maximum likelihood estimation under the true model, our method is shown to be more robust against model misspecification and is computationally far more efficient for larger sample sizes. Finally, the theoretical properties of the estimates are explored and in particular, a consistency result is established.

▼ Parametric design tools and visual programming languages are fast becoming an important part of the architects design process. A review of current literature notes that the barrier to entry into the medium is lowering while the power of the tools available is increasing. The purpose of this research is to use these emerging tools to explore complex architectural issues related to space planning and massing. This research aims to bring these aspects of the design process together to generate an architecture where programme and aesthetic are derived in equal measure by the architect and the computer.
The project began with a series of technical studies focusing primarily on space planning, massing, site analysis and circulation with the purpose of using an amalgamation of these techniques to develop into a final generative algorithm.
These ideas are explored through an open ended design process of iterative research and testing, self and peer review, development and critical reflection. The viability of the algorithm is then tested through the generation a number of test buildings, across variety of sites.
In order to provide a direction and author a degree of creative friction within the research process, the projects are framed around the development of a mid-size, urban sited secondary school.
The final algorithm provides constraints in such a way that the architecture evolves in a natural, predictable way that can still surprise and inform, as well as consistently producing viable, interesting iterations of buildings. This process, described as an “open box” structure, produced a wide variety of working concepts and provided a high level of control as a designer.

▼ This research anticipates that by repurposing the interior of existing and vacant historic architecture, significant to the community it serves, the life span of buildings can be prolonged. This in turn will lead to the progress of New Zealand’s history in architecture.
This research proposes to introduce a transient intervention, in which design disregards the site context and is influenced by the historic materials. The design offers new and relative functions for buildings, thereby offering a stay of demolition, for a period of time. It reasons that the process of repurposing can be done exclusively through interior development, using installation methods that will not compromise the integrity of the historic materials. This will enable the design to be removed and the architecture to be returned to the condition it was in prior to the engagement of this research design. It is assumed by research that at this time the building’s historic value will outweigh the perceived financial gains of redevelopment.
Change is inevitable in society. However, architecture is not so malleable and tends to resist change. It needs help adjusting with time. When communities develop, buildings do not always meet their increasing demands. They can become too small or the programme loses relevance. According to Johannes Cramer and Stefan Breitling “architecture should outlive humans” (Cramer), however, Heritage New Zealand notes that in the last fourteen years 26 historically listed buildings have been demolished to accommodate redevelopment, in New Zealand.
This research takes three sites from Lower Hutt to represent this architecture in need. Each will give new insight for physical material and intangible features which are important to retain when working to preserve historic architecture.

▼ It is generally accepted that the restrictions of digital
parametric design tools (DPDT’s) are currently
shifting. Technology and interface can be engineered to overcome many complex problems within
architectural processes, yet this does not necessarily mean solutions are easier to obtain; quite the
opposite can occur. As architectural practitioners lean more towards the ubiquitous use of digital
processes the decisions made by the designer can be overshadowed by the advantages of time saving
technologies and heuristic rules of thumb. The various inherent interfaces of digital processes tend to
conceal the real complexity and nuance of the set of possible solutions and analyses.
The awareness of the workings of the tools and processes from a ‘base principle’ point of view could
be a weak point in regards to the uptake by a new generation of architects who experience a growing
simplification of interfaces within new digital design processes. This poses a problem for a profession
which seeks to integrate technical skills knowledge into wider, sometimes loosely structured, set of
processes. This research highlights the problems faced by architects, students, and specialists who
aspire to apply innovative digital processes in a strategic manner. The concern which arises is this
lack of understanding of how tools could be used reduces the ability to integrate them within design
process. Theoretical literature falls short in providing robust guidance to the application of illunderstood
design tools, further compounding the sincere integration of practical solutions.
There are ways forward for developers to create new and updated tools, such as form modellers,
design aids, and optimisation helpers, but these do not necessarily meet their full potential in
providing integrated solutions. It is possible to improve our understanding of these potentials by
looking at how these tools can be used in both practical and theoretical terms. In this thesis this is
done by framing and answering the following research question:
What are the characteristics of some of the observed issues and obstacles revealed in the
practical application of digital
parametric design tools in architecture?
This question is adopted so that the obstacles of DPDT’s may be better understood and allow for better
integration, better design outcomes, and better future use of powerful latent potential. This research
defines the process of
parametric design through analysis of literature and applies this to participantobserver
case studies. It finds that a clarification of particular issues and obstacles can be useful to
improved understanding of DPDT’s and that certain qualitative characteristics of these obstacles can
constrain applications and avenues of exploration.

▼ Modular building systems that use only prefabricated parts, sometimes known as building “kits”, first emerged in the 1830s and 1840s in the form of glass and iron roof systems for urban transportation and distribution centers and multi-storey facade systems. Kit systems are still used widely today in the form of curtain wall assemblies for office and condominium towers, yet in all this time the formal flexibility of these systems (their ability to form complex shapes) has not increased greatly. This is in large part due to the fact that the systems still rely on mass-produced components. This lack of flexibility limits the degree to which these systems can be customized for particular contexts and optimized for such things as daylighting or energy efficiency.
Digital design and fabrication tools now allow us to create highly flexible building facade systems that can be customized for different contexts as well as optimized for particular performance objectives. This thesis develops a prototype for a flexible facade system using parametric modeling tools.
The first part of the thesis looks at how parametric modeling can be used to facilitate building customization and optimization by integrating the acts of design, analysis, fabrication and construction. The second part of the thesis presents the facade system prototype and documents key aspects of its development. The facade system is modeled in Grasshopper 3D, a parametric modeling plug-in for Rhinoceros 3D. The model has built-in analysis tools to help the user optimize the facade for daylighting, energy efficiency, or views within any given context, as well as tools that alert the designer when fabrication or construction constraints are being violated.

▼ This dissertation reports on an investigation of fifteen second-semester calculus students' understanding of the concept of
parametric function, as a special relation from a subset of R to a subset of R2. A substantial amount of research has revealed that the concept of function, in general, is very difficult for students to understand. Furthermore, several studies have investigated students' understanding of various types of functions. However, very little is known about how students reason about
parametric functions. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature. Employing Action – Process – Object – Schema (APOS) theory as the guiding theoretical perspective, this study proposes a preliminary genetic decomposition for how a student might construct the concept of
parametric function. To determine whether the students in this study made the constructions called for by the preliminary genetic decomposition or other constructions not considered in the preliminary genetic decomposition, data is analyzed regarding students' reasoning about
parametric functions. In particular, this study explores (1) students' personal definitions of
parametric function; (2) students' reasoning about
parametric functions given in the form p(t)=(f(t),g(t)); (3) students' reasoning about
parametric functions on a variety of tasks, such as converting from
parametric to standard form, sketching a plane curve defined parametrically, and constructing a
parametric function to describe a real-world situation; and (4) students' reasoning about the invariant relationship between two quantities varying simultaneously when described in both a graph and a real-world problem. Then the genetic decomposition is revised based on the results of the data analysis. This study concludes with implications for teaching the concept of
parametric function and suggestions for further research on this topic.

▼ Spintronics is an emerging field of research wherein the electron spin instead of, or along with,
the conventional electron charge may be utilized in developing next generation logic devices.
One of the most promising aspects of spintronics is that information transfer may be achieved
by spin waves in logic devices, which may provide a solution for power consumption related
challenges in modern electronic devices. However, a major obstacle in making further progress
in this field is the large intrinsic spin wave damping in most known magnetic materials which
inhibits propagation of spin waves over sufficiently large distances. In this work, we investigate
and experimentally demonstrate a new technique of amplifying spin waves parametrically using
bulk acoustic waves. Backward volume magnetostatic spin waves in yttrium iron garnet (YIG)
films have been amplified using bulk acoustic wave resonators driven at resonances at twice the
spin wave frequency. The generation of idler spin waves in the
parametric process have been
experimentally demonstrated as well, which provides insight into fundamental physical mechanism
responsible for the process of acoustic spin pumping. The variation of threshold acoustic
energy for onset of
parametric amplification with frequency detune has also been experimentally
studied, with the results agreeing well with theoretical predictions. This work proposes a new
technique to compensate for inherent losses in spin wave propagation in spin wave based logic
devices.

▼ Machine Learning and Data Analytics have become key tools in the advancement of modern society, with a vast variety of applications exhibiting exponential growth in breadth and depth during the past few years. Moreover, the advancement of data-gathering technologies enables the availability of massive amounts of data, which fuels the opportunity for application and development of new analytics tools to obtain insights, making an effective and efficient use of it. This dissertation aims to contribute to the scientific existing methodologies in this context, with focus in the non-
parametric statistical domain due to its robustness to prior modeling assumptions and flexibility of application in many different contexts. In light of this objective, four non-
parametric methodologies based on wavelets are introduced and analyzed. Problems such as survival density estimation, non-linear additive regression and multiscale correlation analysis are covered, and each methodology is studied from both a theoretical and pragmatic perspectives. Moreover, a theoretical foundation for each proposed method is developed, and then its applicability and performance are illustrated using simulations studies, real data sets and comparison with previously published results in the field.

▼ Architects are often unaware of details, constraints, and variables that define and deliver architectural components. Many factors such as constructability, budget, or scheduling commitments, force changes to design concepts – potentially resulting in time-consuming redesign or loss of design aspirations – because incorporation of fabrication and expert knowledge occurs too late in the process. At the same time, fabricators, obligated to re-model these components – typically via error-prone manual translation – may be unaware of critical architectural properties envisioned but difficult to represent in design intent documents.
The focus of this dissertation is to establish a new framework for coordination among project actors, linking currently disparate global and local descriptions of architectural intent and corresponding components via
parametric digital models, with the aim of improving representations, enabling more informed conversations, and streamlining exchanges during early stages of design. In order to show the potential of this framework, research is focused on architectural precast concrete façades. Building façades are especially relevant to both architectural theory and practice as they are critical to a buildings’ character but remarkably complex in assembly. The architectural precast façade offers, in particular, a system whose parts are discreet through surface panelization, customizable via extensive features, and fundamental to the overall buildings’ aesthetic. Protocols and techniques for generating and linking customizable digital models for coordination are documented for a variety of surface patterns and panel feature types found in precedent buildings with architectural precast concrete façades. These models are used to demonstrate the process of developing
parametric maps, both as a means of engaging issues of fabrication in early stages of design as well as to demonstrate benefits of incorporating such maps in future state workflows. Knowledge gained from recording various processes undertaken, conversations held, and documents produced by precast fabricators during the shop drawing phase of their work informs the
parametric maps from both global and local perspectives. The strategies from the precedent analysis are then implemented through the exploration of design and fabrication issues raised by novel student proposals. The research suggests that the current disconnect between architectural intent and fabrication knowledge contributes to limited design exploration, and ultimately, reduces use of architectural precast concrete façades and furthermore, that linked digital models can stimulate interaction between designers and fabricators – bridging currently disparate workflows and value systems – while simultaneously enabling design exploration, incorporating fabrication details, and allowing new opportunities for precast buildings to emerge.

▼ The squeezing and statistical properties of the light produced by a coherently driven degenerate
as well as nondegenerate three-level laser with a
parametric amplifier is studied applying
c-number Langevin equations. Employing the solutions of these equations, we have determined
the quadrature variance for the cavity and output modes, the squeezing spectrum for
the output mode(s), the photon statistics of the cavity mode(s), and the photon number and
count statistics of the output mode(s). It so turns out that the
parametric amplifier increases
the squeezing and the mean photon number significantly. Furthermore, it so happens that
the coupling of the top and bottom levels enhances the degree of squeezing particularly when
there are nearly equal number of atoms initially in the top and bottom levels. It is also found
that one effect of the coupling of the top and bottom levels is to decrease the mean and the
normally-ordered variance of the photon number. In addition, our calculation shows that the
mean photon number of mode a is greater than that of mode b.

▼ Architects use computers predominantly to digitise a design process that has been in use prior to the advent of the computer. Traditional analogue concepts are transferred into and sculpted through the digital world but the overall process has remained mostly unchanged for decades. Merely digitising a known process does not utilise the full power of the computer and its near limitless ability to compute.
For an architect, design of the built environment is highly important especially if they are to optimise the physical, phenomenological and psychological aspects of the space. The process of designing an architectural space is riddled with possibilities or variables that architects have used historically to aid in the design of the built environment, including but not limited to: object relationships, climate, site conditions, history, habitibility and the clients input - all project requirements that must somehow be quantified into a built object. This information is key for an architect as it will inform and form the architecture which is to be designed for the project at hand.
This information, however useful, is not easy to integrate into every aspect of the design without intensive planning, problem solving and an exploration of almost an infinite number of possibilities. This is where
parametric design can be used to aid in the design. More of the fundamental aspects of the information gathered in a project can be programmed into a computer as parameters or relationships. Once this information has been quantified, the designer can run through iterations of a design which are defined by these parameters. This is not a random process. It is controlled by the designer and the outcome is a product of how the architect designs the parameters, or relationships between components of the design.
Parametric design offers a shift from merely digitising design ideas to using programmed constraints derived through the design process to influence and augment the design envisioned by the architect.
Parametric design allows the system to be changed holistically and updated through the alteration of individual components that will then impact the form of the design as a whole – creating a non-linear process that is connected throughout all design phases.
This thesis seeks to explore
parametric design through its implementation within a group design project to decipher how a
parametric process grounded in an understanding of contemporary digital fabrication can inform architectural space. To explore
parametric design, this thesis will practice this re-envisioned design process through three design phases. The first phase is the foundational knowledge stage where the applications of digital workflow, computer models, tools and material explorations are examined. Second is the production of a prototype to investigate lessons learnt from phase one and apply these lessons to an actual
parametric system used to design a prototype. The final stage will be a developed design process that will further explore a
parametric system…

▼ Energy harvesting is an emerging technology that derives electricity from the ambient environment in a decentralised and self-contained fashion. Applications include self-powered medical implants, wearable electronics and wireless sensors for structural health monitoring. Amongst the vast options of ambient sources, vibration energy harvesting (VEH) has attracted by far the most
research attention. Two of the key persisting issues of VEH are the limited power density compared to conventional power supplies and confined operational frequency bandwidth in light of the random, broadband and fast-varying nature of real vibration.
The convention has relied on directly excited resonance to maximise the mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion efficiency. This thesis takes a fundamentally different approach by employing parametric resonance, which, unlike the former, its resonant amplitude growth does not saturate due to linear damping. Therefore, parametric resonance, when activated, has the potential to accumulate much more energy than direct resonance. The vibrational nonlinearities that are almost always associated with parametric resonance can offer a modest frequency widening.
Despite its promising theoretical potentials, there is an intrinsic damping dependent initiation threshold amplitude, which must be attained prior to its onset. The relatively low amplitude of real vibration and the unavoidable presence of electrical damping to extract the energy render the onset of parametric resonance practically elusive. Design approaches have been devised to passively
minimise this initiation threshold.
Simulation and experimental results of various design iterations have demonstrated favourable results for parametric resonance as well as the various threshold-reduction mechanisms. For instance, one of the macro-scale electromagnetic prototypes (∼1800 cm3) when parametrically driven, has demonstrated around 50% increase in half power band and an order of magnitude higher peak power (171.5 mW at 0.57 ms−2) in contrast to the same prototype directly driven at fundamental resonance (27.75 mW at 0.65 ms−2). A MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) prototype with the additional threshold-reduction design needed 1 ms−2 excitation to activate parametric resonance while a comparable device without the threshold-reduction mechanism required in excess of 30 ms−2. One of the macro-scale piezoelectric prototypes operated into auto-parametric resonance has demon-strated notable further reduction to the initiation threshold. A vacuum packaged MEMS prototype demonstrated broadening of the frequency bandwidth along with higher power peak (324 nW and 160 Hz) for the parametric regime compared to when operated in room pressure (166 nW and 80 Hz), unlike the higher but narrower direct resonant peak (60.9 nW and 11 Hz in vacuum and 20.8
nW and 40 Hz in room pressure).
The simultaneous incorporation of direct resonance and bi-stability have been investigated to realise multi-regime VEH. The potential to integrate parametric…

▼ The extremely fast ionization process in semiconductors offers
a means of generating pulses that have sub -nanosecond rise times
and high peak powers. There are several important applications of
these pulses which require the duration of the generated pulse to be
variable.
This thesis investigates three methods of producing variable -
width pulses using transistors operating in the avalanche mode.
The first circuit studied is used with a capacitor as the collector
load. It produces pulse rise times of less than one nanosecond but
has the disadvantage of a relatively slow RC discharge fall time.
Distributed and lumped parameter delay lines were used in the
second form of circuits studied. With the artificial delay line the
pulse width can be controlled by opening the line at different sections
whereas with the cable, the length must be altered to change the
pulse width. These circuits produced fast rise, flat top, and fast
fall pulses.
In the third method studied, a composite circuit is used in
which the fast rise of an avalanche pulse is added to a slower rise,
but variable duration pulse, generated by a saturating transistor.
This method is shown to produce fast rise, variable -width pulses
with overshoot and ringing easily held to less than five percent.

▼ We propose a semi-parametric self-exciting point process model for independent n string observations. The intensity process consists of an unspecified time varying baseline and a parametric excitation function. The associated martingale estimating equations are constructed to get a desirable estimator. Under certain regularity conditions, the consistency and asymptotically normal of the estimator for the parametric excitation function are established based on counting process martingale central limit theory. Meanwhile, the Breslow type estimator for the non-parametric baseline is proved to converge weakly to a mean zero Gaussian Process. We do simulation to verify the efficiency of the estimating method and present its applications in the financial data analysis. Keywords: Counting process martingale; Self-exciting process; Time-varying background; Asymptotic normal; Consistency.

▼ This project will house the next generation of technology and startups. The design will reflect what is held on the inside through a computational design strategy progressing nonstandard architecture. The site will first be analyzed in terms of people flow, (where people come from, where they are most likely to go, where they are most likely to stay, etc) solar, wind and climate analysis, along with the local, visual and physical connections. These inputs will be used to define the boundary of the building within the site. They will also be used to define certain parameters of the building itself, such as heights, views, certain directions of structure, etc. Once the boundary is created, the program is determined and placed on the site. The overall design and form will be derived from spatial analysis of the required program. This will start with the analysis of what functions are required in a multi use tech exhibition and startup center. Once the programs and functions are taken into account, the analysis of the spaces, functions and uses will be cross referenced and tagged in order to determine which spaces need to be close to each other and which ones can be farther away. This will be accomplished through a script that places the individual programmatic spaces within the boundary in close proximity to other spaces that are required to be close. Once these spaces are defined and the areas are set, swarm logic, people flow simulation and environmental factors will shape the form and connect the spaces. The swarm logic will start from specific areas on the site where people can enter and connect the ground to the building and interior spaces. The autonomous agents will create a trail that will define other architectural elements critical to the design of the center. These would include public/ semi public spaces that lead the visitor into the building. People flow analysis will be used to create the internal flows of people in the tech and exhibition center as well as the external to internal flows and vice versa. The wind analysis will help to streamline the form so that the wind will not create extra stresses across the building, rather flow along the structure. The environment, climate and other factors will be taken in to account in order to create a low impact building that concentrates on performance driven aspects, revolving around and showcasing the tech industry. In the micro/meso scale, the buildings skin and construction components will be explored to derive a new way to use Carbon Fiber (or composites) in the construction field. This part will fall under the category of Design to Robotic Production. The goal for this portion is to explore and create a self supported or minimally supported carbon fiber structure (or composite structure) that would integrate the systems, structure and aesthetics into the building pieces. Through the use of programming and biomimicry, the composites would be designed in a way that is structurally sound, aesthetically pleasing and performance oriented. The design of…

▼ In this thesis, a we have designed and fabricated a Josephson
Parametric Amplifier (JPA) using a new double-angle evaporation method without a Dolan bridge. We have found and resolved several issues in the fabrication procedure, but it requires further tuning before being fully functional. We have also simulated the behaviour of a general
parametric amplifier with an additional Duffing non-linear term, and found that this term appears to limit the oscillation amplitude. We have attempted to characterize Josephson junctions fabricated with the new double-angle evaporation procedure, but without much success. Using a different fabrication method, a JPA was made and successfully characterized. The maximum measured gain is 16 dB, with a bandwidth of 1 MHz. The noise temperature is comparable to the cryostat temperature of 250 mK, but it was not characterized accurately.

▼ Hyperbody has set an exercise for students who are graduation on the design studio. For this exercise the student needs to develop a proposal for 6500-7000 sq. m. of student housing on the Green Village in Delft. The Green Village vision is to create a sustainable future together and that all starts with the health of the students themselves since they are the ones who's going to live there. Stress seem to have a really negative influence on the health but also the performance of the students. For this project i tackled this problem by reducing the stress level of students on their way home. During commuting students are often still outside the present. They take their work back home which can result in low quality sleeping and on long term even result in lack of performance at the university. The concept therefor is to work with the route student take towards their homes. In order to give the route more meaning, spaces and function will be integrated in the route. Profiles on the route are never same. Edges of this route exist out of benches, shelters, workplaces and nature. Especially nature plays an important factor of fulfilling multiple function. Not only does nature improves the mental state of people but it also serves as shading, fall prevention and orientation of the spaces by the colours of the plants. The goal is to relax the mind of the student on this route. Based on that the route is designed with smooth shapes in order reduce disturbance of the mind. By using flowing curves, shapes will never break in segments. This leads to less impulses on the human mind. Once students will reach their home. The design languages and materialisation changes from free form abstract architecture made of concrete to orthogonal space efficient architecture made of timber. The reasons for choosing wood is because its a warm material that makes it pleasant for student to live in, but also because timber is sustainable and relative easy to work with. Where the concrete part of the building is public, the dwellings are personal and more temporary. After some years the interiors of the dwellings could be easily upgraded to newer standards. All dwellings are orientated in such a way that one side is facing a space covered by an ETFE roof which provides the space underneath for additional passive heating. The other side of the dwelling will face regular Dutch climate. With a cold and warm side of the dwelling the space can ventilate passively. Hot air underneath the ETFE roof will rise and pulls the colder air throughout the dwellings. Depending on the temperature the ETFE roof can let the hot air out to regulate the temperature. As mentioned before, the free form part of the architecture will be made from concrete. The overall form will be divided in building components. These elements will be pre fabricated. Based on the digital model a mold will be milled of expanded polystyrene and later reinforced with steel an poured with concrete. These elements will be stacked on top of the constructive walls of the…

▼ Reflection on open-ended and metastable architecture. Metastability is a term which describes the extended duration of certain equilibria acquired by a complex system when leaving its most stable state after an external action. The parameters of such "excited" system may eventually reach and hold stationary values (a metastable state) but then, after a long time, (spontaneously or under a slight external action) parameters will start changing again. Considering the contemporary technological level and multiple scientific insights into natural systems that reflects similar tendencies, it is not hard to imagine an open ended architectural design that across its life span reveals metastable qualities. Even the most sophisticated building, designed in reference to a particular environment, is not permanently suitable. First of all, due to the impact of the building on its environment, for which it was initially designed. Second, due to an unpredictable and dynamic field of external stimuli that might trigger changes in the environment. In both cases, a solution that seemed to be suitable for environmental embodiment, turn out to be a more or less accurate experiment, that has no embedded capability to facilitate environmental feedback for the means of its adjustment. Creating fixed built environment solutions, that do not incorporate feedback into building evolution across its live span, can be literally compared with creating a house with fixed glazing, without the possibility to control the air flow throughout the building. Informational system developed for Almere Pampus Transferium assumes the absence of permanent stasis and operate onto metastable frames. An associated research incorporates computational mechanisms inspired by natural form emergence and evolution, not only in the design process, but also in its execution and evolution. Those mechanisms, while inspired by nature, do not necessary mimic its aesthetics. Their value is rather in providing effective and adjustable embodiments, whose emergence can be directly linked with the environment, initiating a mutual and continuous self-regulating feedback loop. The application of developed informational systems in an architectural design goes in parallel with embodiments capable of handling fluctuating data flows.
Parametric structural system used in a building is a the same time modular and customised, which means that within its parametrical boundaries new extensions of the building required in time, can be automatically adjusted to current conditions and connected with the existing parts of the building. Even more flexibility along buildings life span is provided by double skin system. Main structure of the building is covered with single glazed facade that provides condition for functionalities where precise climate control is not required. Internal volumes, at the other hand, placed inside the main structural frames, provides advanced climate control for all sorts of potential activities. At the level where big and open spaces, created by main structural…

▼ Op welke wijze heeft de CAD techniek zich door de jaren heen ontwikkeld en wat is zijn weerslag op het architectonisch product? Met deze vraag word er geprobeerd om meer duidelijkheid te krijgen over de invloed van CAD technieken in de architectuur. De ontwikkeling van CAD begint in 1963 en is vandaag de dag nog in volle gang. Er word daarbij gekeken naar de van invloed zijnde aspecten en de daaruit voortkomende gevolgen voor het architectonische product. De ontwikkeling van CAD wordt hier opgedeeld in 3 perioden. In elk van deze perioden heeft de CAD technologie een andere invloed gehad op het architectonische product. In de eerste periode waren de concepten al ver gevorderd maar was de techniek nog niet breed beschik- baar waardoor het zeer exclusieve toepassing kende. In de tweede periode zien we dat de computer zich op alle fronten verbetert en het een consumentgericht karakter krijgt. Nu, in de derde periode zien wij CAD vormen die zowel de ware kwaliteiten van het medium bloot- stellen en dit toch op een gebruiksvriendelijke manier toegankelijk maken.

▼ The objective of this research is to investigate the possibilities of creating an algorithmic design for structural glass covers, to create an innovative methodology with a broad spectrum of potential applications. The methodology should stimulate the easy use of glass as a structural material. It should also contribute to the bridging of the gap between architects and structural engineers and take advantage of the potential of
parametric design for architectural and structural purposes.

▼ Parametric design today is largely embedded within a traditional trajectory. Current use largely sees the role of computers in the design studio operate at a low level, fulfilling no more sophisticated tasks than which was formerly achieved by hand. What motivation there is for
parametric design tools seems to be largely inspired by a visual aesthetic.
Manipulating relationships between architectural elements to design atmosphere is a long established physical process. By utilising the computer to accurately simulate spatial qualities, I propose the genesis of something more novel. The quantification of atmosphere within a digital toolset allows the designer to accurately control light, material and mass through complex networks of
parametric relationships. Simulating and researching architectural atmosphere from architects Peter Zumthor and Tadao Ando allows this thesis to demonstrate a methodology for accurately simulating architectural atmosphere through the generation of geometry in Grasshopper and simulation of real site specific lighting data in 3ds Max. This thesis presents a methodology for how digital
parametric design techniques enable greater flexibility and control in designing atmospheric architecture.

▼ Electrification has been a significant trend in the automotive industry for the past decades, but only during recent years electric vehicles have started being manufactured on a mass scale. The need of virtual improvement practices to reduce development costs and obtain best in class performances, coupled with the relatively new mass implementation of electric motors as traction sources on vehicles, drives the pursuit of best practices to deliver improved vibration performances with the help of computer aided engineering. This thesis reviews the state of the art of electric traction motor for passenger vehicles, analyzing their sources of vibrations and evaluating different strategies to mitigate them.
The proposed solution is a
parametric study based on a multiphysics model aimed at minimizing vibrations of the stator teeth, by acting on some key geometric parameters which define elements of the electric machine core. The goal is to minimize the effect of the electromagnetic forces acting on the stator teeth, over a range of rotational speeds that simulates real working condition of a passenger vehicle traction motor, which in turns allows to mitigate the vibrations of the motor and improve comfort of driver and occupants. This is achieved by reducing both the radial maximum acceleration and maximum amplitude of oscillations measured in the radial direction at the stator teeth tips.

▼ Computational simulations are generally built upon a form or design that is near or mostly complete. Agent-based simulations are ones where the rules and behaviours are designed, creating an unpredictable output. In this research, these rules are derived from the complex systems in nature, utilising cross-disciplinary principles between architecture and biology. The abstraction of data and rules from biological structures are used to inform computational rule-sets for modelling 3D printed structures.
The simulations in this paper explore the concept of emergence: where systems have an irreducible complexity and adaptability - a series of smaller parts combined acting as a whole. The concept of agent-based simulations as a form of emergence is a tool used greatly within many areas of research as a speculative method to build form and space.
Computation rule-sets define a design intent for each simulation, demonstrating the ability to use agent-based systems and a spatial design driver. Informing the agents with design intent, allows them to adapt to their environment and to the ability and limitations of a freeform 3D printer.
The focus in this project is the design of emergent principles in nature and how they can be applied to optimize structures for use with digital fabrication methods, thus producing a new approach to designing fabricated forms.
Using a design by research approach, this research demonstrates the potential of free-form 3D printing as a technique for an integrated fabrication system. It outlines computational design techniques including the simulation of emergent phenomena to define a digital workflow that supports the integration of both emergent structures and free-form printing.

▼ Re-connecting with Māori identity through
parametric design has been investigated through this body of research by focussing on mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge). Ultimately asking: “There is a place for
parametric design to help translate Māori narratives, values and procedures into architectural form”.
The designer’s intent through this body of research was to re-enforce old ties with local iwi, re-learn one’s whakapapa (stories/narratives), and re-connect with one’s sense of self through embedding this knowledge into a coded design. The objective was to achieve a design output that is fundamentally built on mātauranga Māori and cultural practices of Ngāti Kahungunu (iwi in the Hawkes Bay that extends down the East coast of New Zealand’s North Island). When a design begins with such an intent, the generated output is unexpected, surprising and changes perception of what a particular structure is meant to be or do.
The ideas touched upon in this research is merely a seed to what can be achieved when using
parametric design to produce a culturally significant design. Finding one significant cultural aspect, in this case the power of loci, is one of the most important steps in building the design tikanga (protocols/scope) that will find its way into all aspects of the designs produced. This informed the reasoning for the parameters used, the range of variation and how one step progressed to the next.
