This paper presents an experimental design studio of digital performative design conducted in an architecture course, in Brazil. This teaching and learning experience included a period of three week exercise as part of an integrated design class. The overall objective of the experiment was to introduce the concept of performative design through a design exercise based on actual digital practice...

In this paper, multi-objective optimization of railway wheel web profile using bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) algorithm is investigated. Using a finite element software, static analysis of the wheel based on a standard load case, and its modal analysis for finding the fundamental natural frequency is performed. The von Mises stress and critical frequency as the proble...

La novela Beso negro (1992), de Gilberto Flores Alavez, documenta la realidad habitar un cuerpo cuir y posibilidad representarlo en esfera pública. A partir esto, propongo analizar las estrategias supervivencia utilizadas por el autor que responden a experiencia ser interpelado como enfermo mental con inclinaciones homoeróticas cuando se le acusa asesinato 1978. Adicionalmente, sugiero propuest...

The general problem in topology optimization is correctly formulated as a doublemin mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem based on the minimum total potential energy principle. It is proved that for linear elastic structures, the alternative iteration leads to a Knapsack problem, which is considered to be NP-hard in computer science. However, by using canonical duality theory (CDT...
