Optimization of conducting structures by using the homogenization method
2002
Approximation and numerical realization of a class of optimization problems with control variables represented by coefficients of linear elliptic state equations is considered. Convergence analysis of well-posed problems is performed by using one- and two-level approximation strategies. The latter is utilized in an optimization layout problem for two conductive constituents, for which the necessary steps to transfer the well-posed problem into a computational form are described and some numerical experiments are given.
A collaborative tool for designing and enacting design processes
2009
Today several approaches using Situational Method Engineering paradigm exist, each of them proposes methods and techniques for developing ad-hoc design processes. In this context heavy efforts were spent in the construction of appropriate tools that could help method engineers in producing a specific design process and in using it. We developed a tool called Metameth for supporting the design process definition and its enactment. Metameth is implemented as a multi-agent system, where each agent is capable of reasoning and adapting itself in order to support the designer in performing different kinds of design activities.
Methods for optimal shape design of electrical devices
1996
Often the primary problem facing designers of structural systems is determining the shape of the structure. In spite of graphical work stations and modern software for analyzing the structure, finding the best geometry for the structure by “trial and error” is still a very tedious and timeconsuming task. The goal in optimal shape design (structural optimization, or redesign) is to computerize the design process and therefore shorten the time it takes to design new products or improve the existing design. Structural optimization is already used in many applications in industry. In general, however, structural optimization is just beginning to penetrate the industrial community. Integrating F…
Digital expressionism: the architecture of complex shapes: multi-case analysis, classification and interpretation
2013
The research presented is about digital revolution in architecture, due to the entry of computing in a design development, which has contributed to the birth of a new figurative trend, we can call Digital Expressionism. The work was conducted through the definition of a framework to identify and classify architectural design elements that should be attributed to the methods and techniques of design computing, then applied to sixty prominent recent buildings which are acknowledged products of digital means. The early results suggest that a new era is coming, where the conceptual starting point of designers is often born in the digital space, taking advantage of the augmented representation s…
Digital revolution in current architecture: towards a new architectural expressivity
2013
The triumphal entry of computing in architectural design has produced a real revolution in architectural scenario, but, until now it is unclear how we can identify digital influences in each project and how they have contributed to the birth of new expressive trends. We have developed a framework for identifying and classifying architectural design elements that should be attributed to the methods and techniques of design computing. This framework is then applied to sixty prominent recent buildings which are acknowledged products of digital means. The goals of this are, firstly, to verify the applicability of the descriptive framework and, secondly, to identify combinations of elements that…

Architettura e second digital turn, l’evoluzione degli strumenti informatici e il progetto
2021
La condizione digitale che ha gradualmente ibridato le nostre esistenze, trasformando atomi in bit, si è oggi cementificata sulla nostra società, arricchendone la postmodernità e determinando una nuova liquidità acuitasi con l’avvento di internet. Un momento storico segnato da una nuova maturità del digitale, evidente nel nostro diverso rapporto con i dati, e nella diffusione di metodi di machine learning avanzato, che promettono una nuova capacità di comprensione della complessità contemporanea e nel frattempo contribuiscono alla propagazione dell’apparato tecnico sul mondo. Questi cambiamenti, tanto profondi da toccare la nostra cultura, stanno modificando il nostro modo di interpretare e…
The Digital change. Reasons and meanings of a new architectural expressivity
2014
The entry of computing in architectural has produced a real revolution in architectural scenario, changing the designer's arsenals and producing new expressive trends. However, up to now it is unclear how designers have actually taken advantage of the use of software to develop new styles, it is unclear what is the relationship between programs, operations and tools provided by them, and the formal configuration of new architecture. Moreover, the only element to identify digital influence on design seems to be only what designers or critics say-so. Then, the goal of the research was to actually identify these digital influences on architectural designs by developing a framework for identify…
Computational procedures for plastic shakedown design of structures
2004
The minimum volume design problem of elastic perfectly plastic finite element structures subjected to a combination of fixed and perfect cyclic loads is studied. The design problem is formulated in such a way that incremental collapse is certainly prevented. The search for the structural design with the required limit behaviour is effected following two different formulations, both developed on the grounds of a statical approach: the first one operates below the elastic shakedown limit and is able to provide a suboptimal design; the second one operates above the elastic shakedown limit and is able to provide the/an optimal design. The Kuhn–Tucker conditions of the two problems provide usefu…

Resumen 1. Objetivos El objetivo general de esta Tesis Doctoral es reconstruir el proceso de diseño y construcción de la antigua y nueva basílica de San Pedro en el Vaticano, y de su entorno cercano. De forma complementaria, se reconstruye la evolución de la trama urbana del área del Vaticano, desde su origen hasta la actualidad. La reconstrucción del proceso de diseño y construcción se realizará de forma descriptiva y, especialmente, de forma gráfica. Los planos se realizarán con gran detalle, a escala y con gran precisión, utilizando las más avanzadas herramientas de dibujo digital. La reconstrucción de las diferentes etapas del proceso de diseño y construcción de la antigua basílica se r…
