Conference Proceeding
FIAMEGKOU, T. and DOUNAS, T. 2021. Bioluminescent pavilion: temporary architecture provides lighting. In Proceedings of the 2021 Design computation input/output conference (DC I/O 2021), 6-8 October 2021, [virtual event]. London: Design Computation [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.47330/dcio.2021.jtct3860

The present study will evolve around the design of a pavilion located at key points in the Aberdeen city. The structure will provide low intensity lighting using bioluminescent organisms on its inner and outer surface. For the creation of the design,...

The paper presents a new digital infrastructure layer for buildings and architectural assets. The infrastructure layer consists of a combination of topology graphs secured on a decentralised ledger. The topology graphs organise non-fungible digital t... Read More about Topology generated non-fungible tokens: blockchain as infrastructure for a circular economy in architectural design..

This study proposes a DfMA (from design to assembly) based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and uses Iranian-Islamic Muqarnas as the case study due to their geometric modularity. In Islamic architecture, different geographic regions are known to have...
