In this paper, optimal design of arch dams is performed under frequency limitations. Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO), a recently developed meta-heuristic optimization method, which has been successfully applied to several structural problems, is revised and utilized for finding the best feasible shape of arch dams. The formulation of CBO is derived from one-dimensional collisions between bo...

This qualitative research initiative explores teaching and learning nuances of design processes and practices as encountered and documented within a specific design research studio at the University of New South Wales, Faculty of Built Environment School of Architecture and Design, Sydney Australia. Technical skills versus creativity and the manner the two may coexist or not within the setting ...

INTRODUCTION This paper aims to identify the process of aesthetic education in design studios. Design studio is a significant place, where students of interior design and architecture learn the multifaceted nature of design (Bhatia, 2006; Findeli, 2001). Students’ design solutions actually occur in studio, and the essence of the studio is the discussions regarding the various aspects of their s...

hyperdiamonds are covalently bonded fullerenes in crystalline forms, more or less related todiamond, and having a significant amount of sp3 carbon atoms. design of severalhypothetical crystal networks was performed by using our original software programscvnet and nano-studio. the topology of the networks is described in terms of the netparameters and several counting polynomials, calculated by ...

Web 2.0 is beyond a jargon describing technological transformation: it refers to new strategies, tools and techniques that encourage and augment informed, creative and social inter(actions). When considered in an educational context, Web 2.0 provides various opportunities for enhanced integration and for improving the learning processes in information-rich collaborative disciplines such as urba...
