The Post-Parametric Attitude in the Digital Materialization of Architecture
No full textThe purpose of this essay is to outline a particular evolution path of digital achievements and improvements in architecture. The author depicts the historical emergence of the digital in architecture presenting a sequence of world-renowned and pioneering researches focusing the dissertation on the materiality feature of the digital designs. The author paraphrases several scientific papers and books using the designer’s words to support his story telling. In this way, this chapter proposes not only an illustration of several researches that go beyond the boundaries of computational thought. The author argues his standpoint that is the awareness of materiality as the substantial feature of architecture. The digital tools and any further related improvement of powerful parametric logics for design require the physical objecthood
of fabrication to really enrich architecture. The chapter does not illustrate an own research project; it neither aims to establish a digital workflow for the digital fabrication of architecture. Rather it aims to highlight the fallacy of digital productions (in the meaning of simplistic virtual representation), pointing out the material instance as the address of the advancing of the digital as a method. The increasing availability of technical equipment kits should not be confused with the potential of the computation for architecture. According to these premises, it is necessary to start to examine some of the cornerstones of the last century to support the validation of digital fabrication and robotics as a powerful research field

“My mind is getting used to always find a better solution process”: Formative assessment and self-regulation in secondary school algebra
No full textWe present and discuss the design of a sequence of activities, where formative assessment strategies are carried out, also with the support of technology. The analysis of data coming from a teaching experiment in grade 10, in the context of algebra teaching, shows the design is promising and suggests that the proposed activities were efficient in promoting students'self-regulation
Tangible computing
No full textThis paper explores the process of digital materialization through robotic
fabrication techniques by presenting three wooden projects. The analysis of the
case studies is oriented to underline the impact that computation had on
architectural construction due to its methodological and instrumental innovations
over the last decades. The absorption of computing and digital fabrication logics
within the discipline is explored from either an architectural point of view and
from the improvements related to automation of the constructive process. On the
one hand the case studies are caught because of the desire to expand material
complexity and, on the other hand because of the integration with other
technological systems. The narrative allows gathering pros and cons in three
different investigative macro areas: material culture, methodological oversights,
and operative setbacks coming from digital machine and communicational
constraints. This analytical investigation helps the definition of a new pathway
for future researches, looking forward the assimilation of digital materiality
learning in building construction.This paper explores the process of digital materialization through robotic

Computational and Manufacturing Strategies
No full textThis book highlights computationally enabled and digitally fabricated strategies used in the design of a series of full-size wooden structures. It introduces theoretical foundations and then focuses on the possibilities that have emerged as a result of the material-aware processes. The case studies expound wood as one of the most suitable materials to experience the seamless framework introduced with the digital design-to-construction chain. Two main aspects of the pavilions constructed, developed in various international academic groups, are considered. On one hand the case studies explore tolerances of raw and engineered material intertwined with machine processing; they also address material enhancement through strip applications in timber construction. In addition, the structures are examined in the light of an extensible designing path, which acts as an interoperable procedure, bridging the virtual and the real

The Appearance of Keplerian Polyhedra in an Illusory Architecture
No full textThe illusion of ancient frescoes takes on a new form through the methods offered by digital technologies. This contribution deals with the representation of a geometric solid in the decoration of the Room of Leda in Palazzo Balbi Senarega in Genoa: this is the small stellated dodecahedron described by Johannes Kepler in 1619. An in–depth documentary and iconographic research has allowed us to prove that this is the first perspective representation of this solid which took place about thirty–five years after its discovery. The aim is to investigate and illustrate in a communicative, but not simplifying way, the connections between an example of Genoese decoration and the wider seventeenth–century milieu, which features artists, scientists, and generous patrons with their unsung brides
Índice de calidad laboral para aglomerados de Argentina (2004-2017)
Get PDFEn el trabajo que a continuación presentamos procedemos a mostrar la bibliografía existente al tema calidad de vida laboral así como los conceptos necesarios para poder abordarla. Tras llevar a cabo un estudio de la bibliografía presentada elaboramos un índice de calidad laboral para algunos aglomerados de Argentina basándonos en el modelo de SEL consultores (2007) como base para poder analizar la situación de calidad laboral. El índice está compuesto por los índices de salarios y características de la ocupación, cuyo resultado se obtiene ponderando con igual peso relativo las variables que los componen: tasa de empleo, formalidad laboral, tasa de permanencia en el empleo, complemento del coeficiente de Gini, cobertura de necesidades básicas, e ingreso real. Las tres primeras componen al índice de características
de la ocupación y las tres restantes al índice de salarios. Los datos utilizados para la elaboración del índice de calidad laboral fueron extraídos de la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH) y del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INDEC). Además promediamos dicho índice para poder construir un índice de calidad laboral por región que compone al país utilizando las mismas variables macroeconómicas que calculamos para el primer índice elaborado. El objetivo del trabajo es poder estudiar la evolución de
ambos índices durante el período de análisis (2004-2017) y el impacto que tiene en el bienestar de la sociedad.Fil: Guarino Quartara, Camila. Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas
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
