Splitting and Doubling: Spaces for Contemporary Living in Works by Gordon Matta-Clark, Kurt Schwitters and Gregor Schneider
No full textThe thesis addresses the question of dwelling as a challenge and concern in the twenty-first century. It does so on the basis of three works of art, all exercising radical spatial reconfigurations of existing residential buildings. The thesis argues that these works created in the twentieth century bring strategies forward for a contemporary living space of interest today. Furthermore, that the agency of the artistic gesture exceeds the scope of the architectural work when addressing the subject of home and house in critical ways. The importance of this engagement lies in an incompatibility observed between ideas about dwelling and the experience of the contemporary age. A prevalent desire for a permanently settled and stable living space is at odds with increasingly transient and nomadic present-day lifestyles – the thesis asks how come such concepts without application endure.
Literary works, concerned with the process of modernisation in the twentieth century, are called upon to qualify this problem of dwelling in our time. While the texts provide insight into the dialectics of the modern, the chosen works of art unfold three living spaces settled in the moment of their making. When answering the immediate contextual setting with an environment for living beyond conventional building practices, Gordon Matta-Clark’s Splitting (1974), Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbau (1927-37) and Gregor Schneider’s HAUS u r (1985-today) give clues to the nature of the contemporary dwelling. As a living space beyond conceptualisation, this dwelling does not require a whole house to be held in place nor does it rely on walls for spatial differentiation. Instead, a framework for coexistence is articulated as a space of resistance to the forces of the modern, threatening to render all dwellers homeless. The thesis challenges the contemporary architect with the task of participating in the creation of this space
A simulation based cut generation approach to improve deo efficiency: The buffer allocation case
No full textThe stochastic Buffer Allocation Problem (BAP) is well known in several fields and it has been characterized as NP-Hard. It deals with the optimal allocation of buffer spaces among stages of a system. Simulation Optimization is a possible way to approximately solve the problem. In particular, we refer to the Discrete Event Optimization (DEO). According to this approach, BAP simulation optimization can be modeled as a Mixed Integer Programming model. Despite the advantages deriving from having a single model for both simulation and optimization, its solution can be extremely demanding. In this work, we propose a Benders decomposition approach to efficiently solve large DEO of BAP, in which cuts are generated by simulation. Numerical experiment shows that the computation time can be significantly reduced by using this approach. Pedrielli, Matta, and Alfieri (2015) proposed a general DEO framework to model and optimize queueing systems. The approach relies on the Event Relationship Graph Lite (ERG Lite) formalism to formulate integrated simulation optimization mathematical programming models. ERG Lite is an extension of the Event Relationship Graphs. The authors showed that the BAP can be solved by DEO (Matta 2008) models that contain both simulation and optimization aspects. The simulation components control the event times, by means of constraints dealing with the system dynamics. The optimization components, instead, correspond to the binary variables and related constraints used for the capacity selection and minimization of total buffer space. © 2016 IEEE
Equilibrium selection under changes in endowments: A geometric approach
No full textIn this paper we propose a geometric approach to the selection of the equilibrium price. After a perturbation of the parameters, the new price is selected thorough the composition of two maps: the projection on the linearization of the equilibrium manifold, a method that underlies econometric modeling, and the exponential map, that associates a tangent vector with a geodesic on the manifold. As a corollary of our main result, we prove the equivalence between zero curvature and uniqueness of equilibrium in the case of an arbitrary number of goods and two consumers, thus extending the previous result by Loi and Matta (2018).(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.

Graffiti Truck
No full textTruck was spray painted by residents of the South Bronx. Matta-Clark cut a section from the back of it, and exhibited the section and the rest of the truck at the "Alternatives to Washington Square Art Fair" on Mercer St., New York. Matta-Clark organized the show in protest to the Washington Square Art Fair's refusal to allow graffiti artists to enter.full view, Residents of the South Bronx spray paint Matta-Clark's truc
