Constructs of Operable Architecture: Climate Optimization by Volumetric Adjustment
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
This research focuses primarily on the functionality of software, specifically Rhinoceros (McNeel & Assoc.) and a few associated PlugIns (Grasshopper, Rhino Assembly, RhinoParametrics), to create and control a model to ...
Algorithms for Calculating a Building’s Waste
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
This paper examines the amount of waste or unutilized material a particular design will produce. This is being analyzed by the author through the investigation and use of multiple software systems. The ideal intent is the ...
A Grid-based Space: Cognitive Mapping in Fargo, North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
We all navigate the city. We give directions to strangers and friends. We sketch out maps on bar napkins and the backs of our hands. Addresses are scribbled in margins or printed distinctly at the top of letterhead. These ...
Empirical Analysis of Behavior in Architectural Settings: Using Dartfish and JMP Software to Measure Movement
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Understanding whether the mere sight of architecture can create behavioral responses or not is critical to an architect. If an architect knows what intentional response they want from the inhabitants of their design, then ...
Integrated Building Information Modeling Using Off-the-Shelf Software Components: Using Revit, e-Specs and Microsoft Project for Integrated BIM
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
This paper examines how a piece of software, Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011, can be used to create an integrated information model for any project using BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology. With the help of ...
The Optimal Humanitarian Aid Shelter
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Disasters, both man-made and natural, put a strain on local environments. The best way to handle such a situation is to be prepared for it. A good example of not being prepared for a situation would have to be with Hurricane ...
Creating a Decision Making Tool: How to Decide if One Will Benefit from a Green Roof
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Why is it necessary to provide a decision making model? Why do we feel the need to make rational decisions? The major goal in researching this topic is to provide data which architects can use to illustrate to their clients ...
Tuning a Bowtie Slot Antenna with an Equation Based Curve for 900 and 2400 MHz ISM Bands
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
A dual-band bowtie slot antenna is proposed and designed for the 900 and 2400 MHz ISM bands. Using Rogers 4003C substrate (εr = 3.55) with a thickness of 1.6 mm, the antenna is produced and tested. A comparison is made ...
