PARAMETRIC DESIGN AS A TOOL FOR PERFORMATIVE ARCHITECTURE

BIM as Design Exploration Tool in Architecture

Recent developments in contemporary architecture have been significantly influenced by the emergence of digital technologies as a primary production tool allowing for new ways of thinking. These new developments, combined with research into new materials and fabrication technologies, make possible to purse imaginative designs that were not possible in the past. While often criticized for its ov...

A New Parametric Design Tool for Robot Milling

Tool Support for Architecture Analysis and Design

The needs of software architectural design and analysis have led to a desire to create CASE tools to support the processes. Such a tool should help: to document an architecture; to reuse architectural artifacts; to aid in exploring architectural alternatives; and to support architectural metrics. This position paper first presents a set of requirements that an ideal tool for architectural desig...

Design Requirements for an Architecture Consistency Tool

Software architecture and its related documentation are acknowledged as some of the most important artefacts created during system design. However, often the implemented system diverges, over time, from the designed architecture. This phenomenon is called architectural drift and is either a result of inconsistent evolution of the system, or a failure to keep the architectural documentation up t...

The Future of Bitcoin as a Tool for Financial Development

The purpose of research is focused on the insight into the future of Bitcoin on the financial situation, its implications and challenges. The problem of study is to investigate how to deal with a new type of digital currencies (such Bitcoin) that does not have a physical presence and there is no specific body to issue. Thus, this study aims to identify the nature of Bitcoin currency and what ar...
