THEATRICALITY
2010
The synecdoche, a close connection between the part and the whole, is fundamental in the creation of an interior Weltanshauung. As carrying out of a space inside another space is concretely made an architecture, it is essential that the stage design become an important part of architectural design. Its strong point is establishing itself, in a self-referent way, into an empty host space with a precise border: the stage project is a medium between the container and its contents, between the audience and the performance. Dream space and action space, worlds and words are mixed into an oneiric universe arisen from well-changed “notions” or “portions” of the known space. One of the better examp…
Lapis Resiliency, through Analogic and Digital Drawing
2022
In recent years, life drawings as a tool for site survey had slip into the oblivion of time. Its use is considered anachronistic and superfluous in what is defined as the 'digital age'. Nevertheless, thanks to architecture students, who measure themselves with this type of competence, freehand drawing survives revealing its role in understanding the existing reality. Furthermore, the pandemic emergency has provided the opportunity to reflect on the subject, highlighting the importance of urban sketching as a tool to understand and comprehend the building environment. However, the need to adapt to remote activities has inevitably led to the development of new and interesting methodologies by…
Integration of a structural features-based preclassifier and a man-machine interactive classifier for a fast multi-stroke character recognition
2003
A transputer-based parallel machine for handwritten character recognition is proposed. An algorithm based on structural features and on a tree classifier was used to accomplish the pre-classification of the unknown sample in order to speed up the recognition process. The algorithm for the final classification is based on the description of the strokes through Fourier descriptors. The learning phase is accomplished through a man-machine interactive process. The proposed system can expand its knowledge base. A special representation of this knowledge base is proposed in order to record a great amount of data in a suitable way. A fast multistroke handwritten isolated character recognition syst…
A Case of Cooperative Sound Design
2016
In this design case study, protocol and linkographic analysis are applied to a task of cooperative vocal sketching, proposed in the scope of educational research activities. The understanding of the cognitive behaviors involved in sound creation is aimed at setting the ground for the development of rigorous, designerly evaluation practices tailored to sound design, all the way to the final interactive product. Relevant qualitative and quantitative information about the creative process informs the assessment and possibly improvement of sound design methods.
3D objects descriptors methods: Overview and trends
2017
International audience; Object recognition or object's category recognition under varying conditions is one of the most astonishing capabilities of human visual system. The scientists in computer vision have been trying for decades to reproduce this ability by implementing algorithms and providing computers with appropriate tools. Hence, several intelligent systems have been proposed. To act in this field, numerous approaches have been proposed. In this paper we present an overview of the current trend in 3D objects recognition and describe some representative state of the art methods, highlighting their limits and complexity.
Telpiskās modelēšanas programmas SketchUp izmantošana sākumskolā starppriekšmetu saiknes īstenošanai
2016
Maģistra darbs „Telpiskās modelēšanas programmas SketchUp izmantošana sākumskolā starppriekšmetu saiknes īstenošanai”. Maģistra darba mērķis ir izpētīt SketchUp programmas izmantošanas iespējas sākumskolā starppriekšmetu saiknes īstenošanā. Pirmajā nodaļā „Starppriekšmetu saiknes jēdziens un tā pielietošana izglītības sistēmā” tiek apskatīts starppriekšmetu saiknes jēdziens, integrēšanas jēdziens kā arī realizēšanas veidi mācību procesā un iespējamie ieguvumi no konkrētajā veidā organizēta mācību procesa. Otrajā nodaļā tiks aplūkots domāšanas jēdziens, domāšanas attīstības īpatnības sākumskolā, īpašu uzmanību pievēršot telpiskās domāšanas definējumiem un literatūrā izdalītajām dimensijām. N…
Creating Digital Musical Instruments With and for Children: Including Vocal Sketching as a Method for Engaging in Codesign
2020
International audience; A class of master of science students and a group of preschool children codesigned new digital musical instruments based on workshop interviews involving vocal sketching, a method for imitating and portraying sounds. The aim of the study was to explore how the students and children would approach vocal sketching as one of several design methods. The children described musical instruments to the students using vocal sketching and other modalities (verbal, drawing, gestures). The resulting instruments built by the students were showcased at the Swedish Museum of Performing Arts in Stockholm. Although all the children tried vocal sketching during preparatory tasks, few …
Panel Summary: Planning and Problem Solving
1999
I will sketch some ideas that have guided the psychological approaches to problem solving. Traditionally, psychologists have considered the ability to solve problems “one of the most important manifestations of human thinking”. 1 Moreover, “problem” has been defined as a search that starts when we have a goal, but our habitual means are not sufficient to achieve it.
RabbitMash: accelerating hash-based genome analysis on modern multi-core architectures
2020
Abstract Motivation Mash is a popular hash-based genome analysis toolkit with applications to important downstream analyses tasks such as clustering and assembly. However, Mash is currently not able to fully exploit the capabilities of modern multi-core architectures, which in turn leads to high runtimes for large-scale genomic datasets. Results We present RabbitMash, an efficient highly optimized implementation of Mash which can take full advantage of modern hardware including multi-threading, vectorization and fast I/O. We show that our approach achieves speedups of at least 1.3, 9.8, 8.5 and 4.4 compared to Mash for the operations sketch, dist, triangle and screen, respectively. Furtherm…
Empirical perspectives from the self-model theory of subjectivity: a brief summary with examples
2007
Abstract A concise sketch of the self-model theory of subjectivity (SMT; Metzinger, 2003a), aimed at empirical researchers. Discussion of some candidate mechanisms by which self-awareness could appear in a physically realized information-processing system like the brain, using empirical examples from various scientific disciplines. The paper introduces two core-concepts, the “phenomenal self-model” (PSM) and the “phenomenal model of the intentionality relation” (PMIR), developing a representationalist analysis of the conscious self and the emergence of a first-person perspective.
