The manuscript is to speculate “interactive form-generation” based on high-performance architecture theory, and discuss the precursors and the potentials. The research aims to explore and determine the roots, aspects of interactive architecture as a part of performance-based design in contemporary arch...

this paper seeks to investigate a new definition for architecture by unifying the three vitruvian principles of firmitas, utilities, and venustas via a phenomenological approach in the interpretation and analysis of their role in defining architecture. the paper is composed in two main sections. the first section investigates the nature of architecture based on the mentioned principles, where a...

As we know a microprocessor is a general purpose IC which follow the instructions given to it, and the instructions set for the microprocessor designed such a way that it and handle any type of computations. Different type of architectures are available in the market like CISC, RISC, ARM etc. all of them have their own different approaches to perform computations. Our concept for this paper com...
