Methodology for Urbanism AR2U090: Best essays 2010-2012
No full textThese are essays written by students of the course AR2U090 Research and Design Methodology for Urbanism from 2010 to 2012. This is a 5 ECTS course given within the Masters in Urbanism programme of the TU Delft by Roberto Rocco and Egbert Stolk. At the end of the course students are asked to write an essay about themes studied. The theme of the essay has varied over the years, but essays generally concentrate on the relationship between research and design in Urbanism and an evaluation of the Urbanism Masters programme at TU Delft.Urbanis
Een complex-cognitieve benadering van stedebouwkundig ontwerpen
No full textDe motivatie voor dit proefschrift is ontstaan in de stedebouwkundige praktijk. Ten eerste vanuit een verbazing over de complexiteit van de opgaven waarvoor stedebouwkundigen wordt gesteld, en de manieren die ze in hun loopbaan ontwikkelen om met deze complexiteit om te gaan. Ten tweede vanuit een verbazing over de hoge mate van ongrijpbaarheid van deze manieren van werken: veelal worden deze niet expliciet benoemd en zijn ze in hoge mate individueel van aard. In een tijd waarin vele vakgebieden de stad ontdekken is het noodzakelijk dat deze impliciete kennis, die is opgeslagen in het vakgebied, expliciet wordt gemaakt. Enerzijds is dit nodig om eerdere fouten te voorkomen, anderzijds om de succesvolle manieren van werken uit te bouwen en deelbaar te maken met anderen. De recente economische crisis heeft bovendien aan het licht gebracht dat voor stedebouwkundigen vanzelfsprekende (en noodzakelijke) onderdelen van het ontwerpproces voor opdrachtgevers niet zo evident zijn. In dit proefschrift is een start gemaakt met een fundament op basis waarvan deze processen meer expliciet kunnen worden benoemd. Een aantal bouwstenen voor dit fundament is gelegd in een tweetal congressen die gedurende het schrijven van het proefschrift samen met Juval Portugali zijn georganiseerd: Complexity Theories of Cities Have Come of Age in 2009, en Complexity, Cognition, Urban Planning and Design in 2013. Op deze congressen zijn de verbindingen die in dit proefschrift worden gelegd besproken met de betrokken wetenschappers. Ik raad iedereen die in zijn/haar proefschrift nieuwe verbanden wil leggen aan iets vergelijkbaars te doen: wetenschap is mensenwerk, en er is niks leuker dan deze mensen samen te brengen en je ideeën te bespreken met de mensen achter de artikelen en boeken. Een aantal van deze mensen is van grote invloed geweest op dit de inhoud van dit proefschrift: Hermann Haken, Michael Batty, Bill Hillier, Jeffrey Johnson, Scott Kelso, Paul Thagard, en Barbara Tversky.UrbanismArchitecture and The Built Environmen

Multistation magnetotellurics. Final report, 1 January 1996--30 June 1997
No full textThe author has developed the foundations of a practical multivariate approach to processing magnetotelluric array data. Compared to current standards for magnetotelluric data processing, the multivariate approach is unique in that all available data channels are used simultaneously. The approach is outlined in this report. Using Multmtrn, a program for multiple station analysis of magnetotelluric data, the author achieved significant improvements in apparent resistivity and phase estimates in initial tests. Examples of the use of this approach are given including: Carrizo Plain and Parkfield electromagnetic profiling data; sea floor magnetotelluric (MT) data from the Gulf of Mexico; MT survey in a culturally noisy area of Bavaria; and Parkfield/Hollister earthquake monitoring array data. Experience with these projects has resulted in an improved program. The new version of the code is available at http://www.cg.NRCan.gc.ca/mtnet/mtnet.html or by contacting egbert{at}oce.orst.edu. Appendices of this report present documentation for Multmtrn
Algebraic Presentations of Dependent Type Theories
No full textC-systems were defined by Cartmell as models of generalized algebraic
theories. B-systems were defined by Voevodsky in his quest to formulate and
prove an initiality conjecture for type theories. They play a crucial role in
Voevodsky's construction of a syntactic C-system from a term monad. In this
work, we construct an equivalence between the category of C-systems and the
category of B-systems, thus proving a conjecture by Voevodsky. We construct
this equivalence as the restriction of an equivalence between more general
structures, called CE-systems and E-systems, respectively. To this end, we
identify C-systems and B-systems as "stratified" CE-systems and E-systems,
respectively; that is, systems whose contexts are built iteratively via context
extension, starting from the empty context.Comment: v2: changed title, added some example
A complexity theoretic view of cities as artefacts of design intentionality
No full textCities are perhaps the largest and most complex artefacts created by human activity. The characterisation of an object or system as an artefact assumes the existence of some form of intentionality behind its creation. Complexity science has been used to understand the formation of cities as products of self-organization and evolution, but it has paid little attention to the role of intentionality and design in the formation of cities. So in what sense are cities artefacts? Who is the design agent behind the creation of cities? Can societies be characterised as design agents? In this paper we unravel a view of design as a capacity that is derived from certain organisational principles, irrespective of whether these are realised in a brain, a cognitive system or a society. The essay brings together insights from design research, cognitive neuroscience and complexity to propose a theory of design intentionality that can be applied to cities
