Conservation is today often interpreted as the preservation of a still-shot, an understanding informed by the belief that by displaying photographic memory of the past, it is possible to gain access to it. Naturalistic representation is unequivocal and presents the onlooker with a single meaning. The dominance of the photorealistic image as model for memory, should be challenged by undermining the notion that architectural representation is a portrayal of likeness, restoring its full potential as an iconic representation of presence. A micro-historical study of the Renaissance concept of restoration, focused on Tiberio Alfarano's 1571 ichnography of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, offers an alternative paradigm in order to inform, critically, contemporary theory and the practice of the renewal of mnemic buildings. The hybrid drawing (1571) extends beyond the opera of graphic architecture, realizing a real effigy. Alfarano factured a track-drawing, providing memory traces on the drawing-site, which, acting like a veil, bear marks of the building's presence within time. The ichnography makes visible a "hallowed configuration", conceived as a substratum for the imagination of conservation. This defines a collective daydreaming strategy, from which multiple authors can imagine possible futures. Ambiguity and polysemy inform the drawing, generating an equivocal space where unforeseeable inventions occur by the process of future predictions by recollecting memories. This invites merging multiple stories. Grasping the significance of Alfarano's drawing, one begins to comprehend the mistaken belief in the primacy of photo rendering to access a building and conserve its essence. Any essence cannot be achieved through exact visual reconstruction, rather through a chiasmus of past and present form, expressing allegoric significance. The retrospective and prospective character of the architectural-conservation process can be experienced through the intermediacy of hybrid-drawings directing the gaze simultaneously in two directions; a pre-existent condition engages in dialogue with future design. This is a condition absent from today's practice, where measured drawings and design drawings are often kept separate. Seen this way, architectural drawings could rejoin these two temporal conditions, through metaphoric or literal transparency, and allow for a real transformation within continuity of identity. / Ph.

This work finds curious the relationships of figures bound by and revolving around a central axis. As this series of figures are elaborated by mathematical operations, the complex nature of their combination removes apparent identity and synthesizes a simultaneous presence which is difficult to name. The drawings serve as a form of notation, similar to sheet music. As notation they aim to find their voice in the physical world. The drawings search for relationships which are then made tangible so they can be studied in light and act as a model to continue working. / Master of Architecture

This thesis seeks to under the relationship in architecture between the physical and the intellectual. Drawings and models are the primary mediums used in this project to bring forms in to a play of light and shadow. The building's program is dedicated to the preservation of black and white film: an expressive medium that exists, primarily, as a cultural artifact in the collective memory. / Master of Architecture

Different contact surface parameters and operating characteristics are observed during the deep drawing process. It is not possible to find a formulation that can be used for all lubrication regimes. Therefore, several friction models have been developed in order to overcome this problem. In this study, a math program is developed which combines Wilson&rsquo / s and Khonsari&rsquo / s friction models in a new model in order to increase accuracy and efficiency in friction calculations. By comparing the results of both friction models, the film thickness ratio of 0.035 is introduced for 0.15 &mu / m standard deviation of surface summits. Below the ratio of 0.035, Khonsari&rsquo / s model gives more accurate results since asperity friction is dominant and the model is based on asperity contact. Above the ratio of 0.035, Wilson&rsquo / s model gives more accurate results since hydrodynamic friction is dominant and the model is based on lubricant flow. In this study, a finite element program is used to simulate 50 mm cylindrical and 50.5x50.5 mm square shallow drawing processes which are performed in single stage. The final cup depths are selected as 18 mm and 23 mm for square and cylindrical cup drawing respectively. The FEM model and the program codes developed are verified by the previous studies in literature. After verification, the simulation results of the cylindrical and square cup drawing are input to a math program which calculates local friction coefficients using the combined friction model. Finally, the combined friction model and the results are further discussed.

The study addresses the automated translation of architectural drawings from 2D Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) data into a Building Information Model (BIM), with emphasis on the nature, possible role, and limitations of a drafting language Knowledge Representation (KR) on the problem and process. The central idea is that CAD to BIM translation is a complex diagrammatic interpretation problem requiring a domain (drafting language) KR to render it tractable and that such a KR can take the form of an information model. Formal notions of drawing-as-language have been advanced and studied quite extensively for close to 25 years. The analogy implicitly encourages comparison between problem structures in both domains, revealing important similarities and offering guidance from the more mature field of Natural Language Understanding (NLU). The primary insight we derive from NLU involves the central role that a formal language description plays in guiding the process of interpretation (inferential reasoning), and the notable absence of a comparable specification for architectural drafting. We adopt a modified version of Engelhard's approach which expresses drawing structure in terms of a symbol set, a set of relationships, and a set of compositional frameworks in which they are composed. We further define an approach for establishing the features of this KR, drawing upon related work on conceptual frameworks for diagrammatic reasoning systems. We augment this with observation of human subjects performing a number of drafting interpretation exercises and derive some understanding of its inferential nature therefrom. We consider this indicative of the potential range of inferential processes a computational drafting model should ideally support. The KR is implemented as an information model using the EXPRESS language because it is in the public domain and is the implementation language of the target Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) model. We draw extensively from the IFC library to demonstrate that it can be applied in this manner, and apply the MVD methodology in defining the scope and interface of the DOM and IFC. This simplifies the IFC translation process significantly and minimizes the need for mapping. We conclude on the basis of selective implementations that a model reflecting the principles and features we define can indeed provide needed and otherwise unavailable support in drafting interpretation and other problems involving reasoning with this class of diagrammatic representations.
