Transparency and learning spacesFinau, Emily 08 April 2011 (has links)
This thesis explores the various meanings and implications of transparency in architecture and in learning environments in particular. Architectural transparency, achieved through choice of materials and principles of formal composition, creates a diversity of relationships and can facilitate visual, conceptual, and functional clarity as well as offering simultaneous perception of different spaces. It offers a range of phenomenological qualities and so provides an opportunity to explore and complicate such dichotomies as translucency and opacity, openness and closure, and public space and private space.
While celebrated throughout modern and contemporary architecture, transparency raises issues of privacy and safety even as it breaks down hierarchies and social boundaries. The research-based design of transparency in a school building necessitates careful planning to achieve a balance between the access to views, natural light, fresh air, and social interaction that transparency may bring and the continuing obligation to provide a safe, secure environment for schoolchildren.

Avtryck och tillblivelse : En utbildares undersökning av det som blev och skulle kunna bli i ett utbildningsrum / Imprint and becoming : A trainer's investigation of what became and could become in a training roomTeiner, Åse January 2020 (has links)
I den här vetenskapliga essän undersöker jag relationerna mellan olika former av materia, både mänsklig och icke mänsklig, i ett utbildningsrum. Syftet är en ökad förståelse för hur mening och tillblivelse möjliggörs och begränsas utifrån mitt agerande inom ramen för den materiellt-diskursiva praktik som utbildning utgör. Utgångspunkten är en gestaltande berättelse utifrån olika möten mellan mig, en matta och några kursdeltagare i ett utbildningsrum under en ledarskapsutbildning. Essäns teoretiska ramverk består av tankar från filosofen Martin Bubers dialogfilosofi och den posthumanistiska kvantfysikern, Karen Barads, agentiella realism. Utifrån den posthumanistiska analysmetoden, diffraktion, samläses teorier och insikter genom varandra för att söka fram emot ett tydligare artikulerande kring vad det innebär att agera utifrån mitt yrke och vad som är min praktiska kunskap. / In this scientific essay, I explore the relationships between different forms of matter, both human and non-human, in a training room. The purpose is to increase the understanding of how meaning and becoming are made possible and limited based on my actions within the material-discursive practice that education entails. The starting point is a narrative story based on different meetings between me, a carpet and some participants in a training room during a leadership training. The theoretical framework of the essay consists of thoughts from philosopher Martin Buber's philosophy of dialogue and the posthumanist quantum physicist Karen Barad’s, agential realism. Based on the posthumanist method of analysis, diffraction, theories and insights are read through one another to seek a clearer articulation of what it means to act on the basis of my profession and what is my practical knowledge.

Fractal Sets: Dynamical, Dimensional and Topological Properties / Fraktalmängder: Dynamiska, Dimensionella och Topologiska EgenskaperWang, Nancy January 2018 (has links)
Fractals is a relatively new mathematical topic which received thorough treatment only starting with 1960's. Fractals can be observed everywhere in nature and in day-to-day life. To give a few examples, common fractals are the spiral cactus, the romanesco broccoli, human brain and the outline of the Swedish map. Fractal dimension is a dimension which need not take integer values. In fractal geometry, a fractal dimension is a ratio providing an index of the complexity of fractal pattern with regard to how the local geometry changes with the scale at which it is measured. In recent years, fractal analysis is used increasingly in many areas of engineering and technology. Among others, fractal analysis is used in signal and image compression, computer and video design, neuroscience and fractal based cancer modelling and diagnosing. This study consists of two main parts. The first part of the study aims to understand the appearance of an irregular Cantor set generated by the chaotic dynamical system generated by the logistic function on the unit interval [0,1]. In order to understand this irregular Cantor set, we studied the topological properties of the Cantor Middle-thirds set and the generalised Cantor sets, all of which have zero length. The necessity to compare these sets with regard to their size led us to the second part of this paper, namely the dimension studies of fractals. More complex fractals were presented in the second part, three definitions of dimension were introduced. The fractal dimension of the irregular Cantor set generated by the logistic mapping was estimated and we found that the Hausdorff dimension has the widest scope and greatest flexibility in the fractal studies. / Fraktaler är ett relativt nytt ämne inom matematik som fick sitt stora genomslag först efter 60-talet. En fraktal är ett självliknande mönster med struktur i alla skalor. Några vardagliga exempel på fraktaler är spiralkaktus, romanescobroccoli, mänskliga hjärnan, blodkärlen och Sveriges fastlandskust. Bråktalsdimension är en typ av dimension där dimensionsindexet tillåts att anta alla icke-negativa reella tal. Inom fraktalgeometri kan dimensionsindexet betraktas som ett komplexitetsindex av mönstret med avseende på hur den lokala geometrin förändras beroende på vilken skala mönstret betraktas i. Under det senaste decenniet har fraktalanalysen använts alltmer flitigt inom tekniska och vetenskapliga tillämpningar. Bland annat har fraktalanalysen använts i signal- och bildkompression, dator- och videoformgivning, neurovetenskap och fraktalbaserad cancerdiagnos. Denna studie består av två huvuddelar. Den första delen fokuserar på att förstår hur en fraktal kan uppstå i ett kaotiskt dynamiskt system. För att vara mer specifik studerades den logistiska funktionen och hur denna ickelinjära avbildning genererar en oregelbunden Cantormängd på intervalet [0,1]. Vidare, för att förstå den oregelbundna Cantormängden studerades Cantormängden (eng. the Cantor Middle-Thirds set) och de generaliserade Cantormängderna, vilka alla har noll längd. För att kunna jämföra de olika Cantormängderna med avseende på storlek, leds denna studie vidare till dimensionsanalys av fraktaler som är huvudämnet i den andra delen av denna studie. Olika topologiska fraktaler presenterades, tre olika definitioner av dimension introducerades, bland annat lådräkningsdimensionen och Hausdorffdimensionen. Slutligen approximerades dimensionen av den oregelbundna Cantormängden med hjälp av Hausdorffdimensionen. Denna studie demonstrerar att Hausdorffdimensionen har större omfattning och mer flexibilitet för fraktalstudier.

Hotel / HotelŘehoř, David January 2015 (has links)
The objective of this thesis is to draw up the design documentation for the construction of a hotel. The hotel is situated on the edge of the golf resort Kaskáda near to Jinačovice. It’s a brick building with two above – ground floors and one underground. There is the staircase in the building that creates protected escape route. The perimeter wall is designed of ceramic bricks Porotherm T Profi. They are filled – in by mineral wool. The hotel is divided into three dilatational parts. There are 35 guest rooms in the hotel; two of them are barrier – free, in total 63 beds. In the ground floor there are entrance, reception, restaurant, bar, kitchen with the background. In the basement there are technical equipment, a fitness room, a wellness, changing rooms, washrooms and a bar. The roof of the hotel is flat. There is the terrace accessible from the apartments in the second floor above the restaurant.

Kaleidoscope : Reflection through ornaments in childhood memoriesVashchenko, Yuliia January 2024 (has links)
The following work examines how childhood ornaments and memories can be translated into the material world, particularly through graphic design. This process not only creates a beautiful symbol of childhood but also offers a reflection in adulthood.
