    Survey of a Woven Landscape

    This research project consists of a portfolio of musical compositions and an accompanying commentary on these works. It was undertaken from the fall of 2009 to the summer of 2012. I am concerned in this project with developing a wide range of musical materials to serve as a pool of resources that I may draw upon when composing. I engage with these materials in a painterly fashion, repeatedly reworking them with respect to their physical reality much like a painter reshapes an image on canvas. I cultivate different emphases within materials ― such as the tac)lity of sound produc)on, superimposed rhythmic layers, and stasis ― to explore diverse musical functionalities. I interweave common source materials to create extensive networks of relationships within and across individual pieces. These relationships lead to composite and multipartite structures built from material inter references. Transferring materials into different contexts allows me to develop the same musical idea in multiple directions, leading to a diversity of forms and durations, from five-second solos isolating a specific gesture to twenty-plus minute pieces incorporating a range of instrumental groupings and material combinations. This diversity is most evident in An Incomplete Survey of the Act of Impingement, an extended project integrating a variety of materials, structures, and independent compositions into a composite whose interconnections allow for multiple programming possibilities. My understanding of such interconnection between heterogeneous elements is extended through resonance with the work of other artists and philosophers: for instance, Gilles Deleuze's and Felix Guattari's concept of the rhizome, Anthony Braxton's interwoven musical system, Ben Marcus's approach to organizing and categorizing his writings, and Matthew Ritchie's multimedia installations. The materials and methodologies cultivated in this project provide a foundation for future developments in my work

    Zaha Hadid była jedną ze star-architektów, starając się w swoich bardzo licznych projektach i realizacjach spełniać misję poszukiwania nowych kształtów, niejednokrotnie szokując ekstrawaganckimi formami nie mieszczącymi się w tradycyjnym pojmowaniu otaczającej nas rzeczywistości. Autorka artykułu przedstawia propozycję podziału jej twórczości na trzy tendencje: inspirację konstruktywizmem, biomorfizmem, ekspresjonizmem.Zaha Hadid was a starchitect, trying to fulfil the mission of pursuing new shapes in her many designs and projects, often shocking others with extravagant forms that were unthinkable in the traditional understanding of our reality. The author of this paper presents a proposal of dividing her work into three tendencies: an inspiration with Constructivism, Biomorphism and Expressionism

    From the Middle East to Europe as a female architect of colour: A case study on Dame Zaha Hadid

    This paper researches the approach of a female architect of colour to her career in architecture. It positions itself through background research on the discrimination that takes place in the field of architecture against people of colour and women and applies this gained perspective to the case of Zaha Hadid, as she is a perfect candidate to bring these two points of discrimination together. A case analysis is executed on Dame Zaha Hadid, where her journey through the field of architecture is analysed and reflected upon. The aim of this paper is to establish how broke through all the stigmas and because quite possibly the best known female architect of all time. In the case analysis Hadid’s childhood, education, career and personal development are analysed. Hadid is known to have a strong and extravagant personality. She always stayed true to her art style and always aimed to become greater while remaining unique. Even though she can be seen as a feminist icon, Hadid is not very outspoken on female struggles within the field of architecture and often remains apolitical and unfazedAR2A011Architectural History ThesisArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Science

    PT Dirgantara Indonesia merupakan usaha industri kedirgantaraan milik Republik Indonesia. Perusahaan melakukan kegiatan produksi utamanya di Kota Bandung, yang dihasilkan berupa pesawat terbang maupun komponennya. Selain produksi perusahaan juga melakukan jasa perbaikan, pembuatan komponen, serta perakitan pesawat terbang secara utuh. Usaha kedirgantaraan ini sedang dalam usaha untuk mengembangkan diri sejak berhasil bangkit dari kejatuhannya pada tahun 2003. Diantara usahanya adalah penerapan lean manufacturing, menunjukkan eksistensinya kembali, serta penggunaan kembali fasilitas lama yang ditinggalkan. Saat ini PT DI berencana untuk menambah hanggar perakitan C 295 di kawasan produksi yang berada di kota Bandung. Berangkat dari keadaan yang ada maka perancangan ini memanfaatkan cara rancang Zaha Hadid. Sebagai preseden yang digunakan adalah BMW Central Building di Leipzig hasil karyanya. Pada karyanya tersebut Zaha Hadid bisa dianggap berhasil memadukan antara fungsi kantor dan produksi. Dalam studi perancangan ini dilakukan secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif yang didahului dengan kajian pustaka serta preseden. Kajian pustaka dilakukan terhadap PT DI, hanggar, proses produksi dengan cara perakitan, arsitektur bangunan industri secara umum serta Zaha Hadid. Preseden diawali dari komparasi dua hanggar perakitan perusahaan kelas dunia lalu dicari kesinambungan antara karya BMW Central Building dengan konsep hanggar terpilih. Pada tahap awal perancangnya diawali dengan penentuan lokasi tapak yang lebih spesifik serta kondisi eksisting. Selanjutnya pengutamaan fungsi bangunan dilakukan dengan memperhatikan pelaku, kebutuhan kuantitatif, serta kebutuhan kualitatif ruang. Metode rancang Zaha Hadid didasari oleh studi terdahulu serta dievaluasi sebelumnya dengan pustaka yang berintikan perancangan BMW Central Building. Metode perancangan Zaha Hadid dilakukan secara berurutan dengan jumlah tujuh langkah. Hasil akhir dievaluasi dengan parameter yang bersumber dari kajian pustaka yang telah dilakukan. Proses dilakukan untuk mencari bentuk arsitektural namun tetap memperhatikan fungsi serta kriteria dari sebuah hanggar perakitan C 295

    Zaha Hadid, genius of the place*

    After a startling and meteoric rise to fame, Arab Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid is one of the most sought after and in-demand architects of the twenty-first century. Hadid's work, which often defies description, draws on a diverse palette of influences including Soviet Constructivism, Suprematism, and what her colleague Patrick Shumacher has termed ‘Parametricism’. At the same time, Hadid's work – she studied under Rem Koolhaas – is infused on multiple levels with her Arab culture and identity. Originally more famous for her designs and un-built works, those which have been constructed or are on the verge of completion span the globe from China to Azerbaijan to Europe, the US and – more recently – the Arab world. She is the recipient of some of architecture's most prestigious awards including the Pritzker Prize. Simultaneously, Hadid has met with controversy and obstacles to her single-minded approach to design and utilization of space in both Europe and the Arab world. This article contains previously unpublished interviews – which examine her approach to form and space, her relation to computer-assisted design, as well as her Iraqi identity – undertaken with Zaha Hadid by the author over a decade, as well as photographs and illustrations of her paradigmatic work that pose serious challenges and hurdles for structural engineers and builders, while engaging all those who view or encounter them to assess their own relation to space and concepts of it.</jats:p

    [EN] MAXXI is a recently constructed work by Zaha Hadid where its particular imaginary is highlighted and is linked to the contributions of the Soviet avant-garde, aesthetic aspirations and converging to a specifi c architectural program which is designed primarily for exhibitions.In it, the architect interprets the character of the place superbly by an implantation marked by its dynamic and genuine “tapes” whose result is embodied in a permeable public area that qualifi es the outer space.In the interior, a light rail artistic experience is created, reinterpreting the train tracks traces and skylights of saw-toothed warehouses.[ES] EL MAXXI es una obra de Zaha Hadid de reciente construcción donde se acentúa su particular imaginario, tan vinculado a las aportaciones de la vanguardia soviética, confluyendo las aspiraciones estéticas con un determinado programa arquitectónico básicamente destinado a exposiciones.

    Divergencia desde la escala pequeña. Zaha Hadid 59 Eaton Place

    Reviewing the treatises on the history of architecture from the end of the 20th century, we can observe an evident absence of those small-scale projects carried out in that period. It seems that not having responded to the great size or bigness, defended by what was perhaps its most in"uential architect, Rem Koolhaas, who was becoming more and more present in those years with the support of the neoliberal economic model in developed countries, excluded them to leave them out of the o#cial story. However, some of these small works, which we can call examples of smallness, meant a break with the dominant large formats, de!ning new ways of projecting through giving voice to those emerging trends. Among these small projects we !nd the design carried out by the architect Zaha Hadid in Eaton Place, Belgravia, London between 1980 and 1981, which stands out for its questioning of the hegemonic typological and compositional arrangements still inherited from the modern movement in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the 1980s. Made by Hadid a few years after graduating from the Architectural Association, this project brings together those elements of her !rst graphic experiments that questioned the restrictions of drawing as a method of communication to be used as a project and work process that marked a di$erence against the dominant postmodern current to turn them into an architectural project for the !rst time. To understand its importance, this article will investigate the bases that defended this project through a review of both those works carried out by Hadid in her last years as a student at the Architectural Association between 1972 and 1977, which explore the relationship between drawing and project, as well as her collaborations and !rst proposals as an architect between 1977 and 1981 that investigate spatial de!nition through geometries that "oat and gravitate between spatial concreteness and the ambiguity of experience. Finally, the article makes a more speci!c analysis of the aspects that de!ne this project and its subsequent impact that de!ne it as an example to highlight in this alternative history that includes the small.La historia de la arquitectura de finales del siglo XX no ha destacado aquellos proyectos de pequeña escala pequeña por no haber respondido al gran tamaño o bigness, defendido por el que quizá fuera su arquitecto más influyente, Rem Koolhaas, mientras se hacía cada vez más presente modelo económico neoliberal en los países desarrollados. Sin embargo, algunos de estos pequeños trabajos significaron una ruptura con los formatos dominantes definiendo nuevas formas de proyectar a través de dar voz a aquellas tendencias emergentes. &nbsp;Este artículo revisa el apartamento diseñado en Eaton Place, Belgravia, Londres, entre 1980 y 81 de la arquitecta Zaha Hadid, como uno de esos pequeños proyectos que cuestionaba arreglos tipológicos y compositivos hegemónicos, heredados aún del movimiento moderno en Reino Unido a principios de los años 80. Este proyecto, realizado por Hadid poco años después de graduarse en la Architectural Association, recoge aquellos elementos de sus primeros experimentos gráficos que cuestionaban las restricciones del dibujo como método de comunicación para ser utilizado como proceso proyectual y de trabajo. Este proyecto rompía con la dominante corriente posmoderna ratificada años después en la exposición del MOMA “Deconstructivismo en Arquitectura” de 1988 de la que es partícipe. Para entender este proyecto, este articulo revisará aquellos trabajos realizados por Hadid en sus últimos años como estudiante en la Architectural Association (1972-77) que investigan esta relación entre dibujo y proyecto, y sus primeras propuestas (1977-1981) que investigan la definición espacial a través de geometrías que flotan y gravitan entre la concreción espacial y la ambigüedad de la experiencia.&nbsp

    Interaction entre une onde acoustique et un fluide : application à la thermoacoustique et à la séparation des constituants d'un mélange binaire par onde ultrasonore

    No full text
    Ce travail de thèse s'intéresse à deux problématiques mettant en jeu des interactions entre fluide et ondes acoustique. Dans la première partie, on présente la modélisation numérique d'un réfrigérateur thermoacoustique, dispositif dans lequel une acoustique permet d'engendrer une différence de température de part et d'autre d'une paroi solide. On s'intéresse particulièrement à l'influence de la loi d'état du gaz sur l'effet thermoacoustique. Dans la deuxième partie, on présente une nouvelle configuration pour la séparation des espèces d'un mélange binaire. Il s'agit de générer un écoulement monocellaire dans une cavité rectangulaire en microgravité, à l'aide d'ondes ultrasonores. Nous y exposons l'étude analytique, numérique ainsi que l'étude de stabilité de cette configuration.In the present work, we study the interaction between an acoustic wave and a compressible and incompressible fluid. In the first part, we present the numerical study of a thermoacoustic refrigerator and more particularly the influence of the gas state equation on the thermoacoustic effect. Thermoacoustic heat pumping is a complex phenomenon which leads to a hydrodynamic heat flux in the thermal boundary layer near a porous medium, due to acoustic waves. The second part deals with the influence of acoustic streaming on species separation of a binary mixture in a shallow cavity cell subjected to temperature gradient and under microgravity. The unicellular flow inducted by the streaming may lead to significant species separation. Analytical results are corroborated by direct numerical simulations. Then, a linear stability analysis of the unicellular flow is performed
