Hidden Within : A metro station and a bus terminal in Nacka / Gömd inom : En tunnelbanestation och ett bussgarage i Nacka

Bröderman Skeppe, Veronica January 2013 (has links)
This diploma project is about the relationship between building and ground. My interest has been in an excavating process in which landscape and architecture is treated in the same manner. With this I want to achieve an ambiguous and a non-hierarchic relationship between ground and building. Hidden within a landscape is a metro station for an extension of the blue line and a bus terminal for buses to Nacka and Värmdö. The project is a composite of landscape and building, substrates, bedrock, concrete and wood. Alejandro Zaera Polo writes in his text "The Politics of the Envelope" about "the Flat-Horizontal Envelope" which are buildings with larger horizontal dimensions than vertical. These are buildings that because of its vastnes act as a boundary in the urban settings. A Bus Terminal is often of this category. With my proposal of diffusing the relationship between building and ground and speculations on letting the ground become the envelope of the building I suggest a development of the flat-horizontal envelope typology. My proposal is not an urban boundary. On the contrary it invites and allow for passing across and engage in the building. / Det här examensarbete handlar om relationen mellan byggnad och mark. Mitt intresset har legat i en utgrävande process i vilken landskap och byggnad behandlas på samma sätt. Med det vill jag uppnå en oklar eller tvetydig relation mellan mark och byggnad. En icke hirarkisk relation. Gömd innuti landskapet ligger en tunnelbanestation, som är slutstaionen på en förlängning av blå linjen österut. Samt en bussterminal för bussar mot Nacka och Värmdö. Projektet är en komposit av landskap och byggnad, jord, berggrund, betong och trä. Alejandro Zaera Polo skriver i sin text "The Politics of the Envelope" om "den platta och horisontella fasaden". Det är byggnader med större horisontell dimension än vertikal. Det är byggnader, som pågrund av sin storlek och utsträkthet blir bariärer i det urbana landskapet. En bussterminal tillhör ofta den här kategorien av byggnad. Med mitt förslag, som handlar om att sudda ut gränsen mellan byggnad och mark och dessutom spekulera om att låta själva marken vara byggnadens fasad, så föreslår jag en utveckling av typologin "den platta - horisontella fasaden". Mitt förslag är ingen bariär. Utan motsattsen. Mitt förslag bjuder in till att pasera över och igenom.

Comparative Hydrodynamic Testing of Small Scale Models

Acosta, Jared 19 December 2008 (has links)
Early in the ship design process, naval architects must often evaluate and compare multiple hull forms for a specific set of requirements. Analytical tools are useful for quick comparisons, but they usually specialize in a specific hull type and are therefore not adequate for comparing dissimilar hull types. Scale model hydrodynamic testing is the traditional evaluation method, and is applicable to most hull forms. Scale model tests are usually performed on the largest model possible in order to achieve the most accurate performance predictions. However, such testing is very resource intensive, and is therefore not a cost effective method of evaluating multiple hull forms. This thesis explores the testing of small scale models. It is hypothesized that although the data acquired by these tests will not be accurate enough for performance predictions, they will be accurate enough to rank the performance of the multiple hull forms being evaluated.
