Facade lighting concept
No full textAbstract:The opportunities are in place of implementing media into architecture, and therefore lighting designers needs to understand and use the design qualities of light, but also add to that an understanding on data collected from the environment and the possibilities of combining both, and to incorporate information as a new layer on top of aesthetic and functional qualities into the lighting design.So in this paper I will investigate the opportunities that lies within this topic, and hopefully use it to be a better designer that designs with function on top of aesthetics.In this master thesis I want to explore the possibilities to add another layer to the architecture of the Smedstad Recycling station by the use of a light controlled by data, which in turn should reflect on its environmental function to the public and contribute to environmental awareness.Abstract:The opportunities are in place of implementing media into architecture, and therefore lighting designers needs to understand and use the design qualities of light, but also add to that an understanding on data collected from the environment and the possibilities of combining both, and to incorporate information as a new layer on top of aesthetic and functional qualities into the lighting design.So in this paper I will investigate the opportunities that lies within this topic, and hopefully use it to be a better designer that designs with function on top of aesthetics.In this master thesis I want to explore the possibilities to add another layer to the architecture of the Smedstad Recycling station by the use of a light controlled by data, which in turn should reflect on its environmental function to the public and contribute to environmental awareness
Lighting Design, Public Space and Existential Sincerity
No full textJuhani Pallasma asserts that the architecture of our contemporary society favours vision to the detriment of the other senses, creating a sense of detachment, and that “buildings have turned into image products detached from existential depth and sincerity.” How does this detachment influence how people operate in public space? Can lighting design begin to repair this detachment in favour of a built environment that encourages recognition and identification with public space? Through conducting research in different areas of urban planning, sociology and reference to design projects and the changing face of the modern city, this paper seeks to study the intricacies of people in public spaces and determine how lighting design can contribute to enhancing how we experience it. Research is paired with a case study of a public space in Brooklyn, New York and a design is proposed that has been informed by a theoretical background and observations of the space.<br/
Real-time, anthropomorphic 3-D scanning and voxel display system using consumer depth cameras as an interactive means of individual artistic expression through light
No full textThe research presented in this paper revolves around the development of an interactive light installation called NEO-David. The focus is on the development of kinetic light within the boundaries of real-time generated anthropomorphic form. The case study seeks to address the issues related to democratic aspects of art and participatory artistic development. The paper presents the setup of such a system and explores different technical development challenges of the design
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
