Tectonics,economics and the reconfiguration of practice: the case for process change by digital means

The current programming culture in architecture could all too easily be written off as a youthful, geeky obsession with the algorithmic and the parametric among nascent practitioners, who have had little if any opportunity to build. The activities of Gehry Technologies run counter to this stereotype. Building on 15 years of experience at Gehry and Partners, Gehry Technologies was founded in 2002 as an independent organisation dedicated to the business of technological innovation and the development of architectural software tools. Dennis R Shelden, chief technology officer, discusses the wider implications of a concentrated focus on technological tools and organisational processes for designers and the business of building.

Why We Need Architecture of Tolerance

Professor and Chair in Integrated Design at the University of Calgary Faculty of Environmental Design, Branko Kolarevic has established an international reputation as an author and commentator on digital design and manufacturing in architecture. Here he questions the importance of high-definition tolerance in construction itself. As an industry that operates at far greater sizes and scales than other manufacturing bases, has the ‘messy world of building’ not always had to allow for a reasonable tolerance of errors? Should high-definition processes, which negate or negotiate zero tolerance, really be for architects and construction professionals the Holy Grail that they first appear?     

时序电路的状态验证研究与设计

采用二元判定图(BDD)作为工具来描述时序电路是非常有意义和有效的.本文通过对BDD的简化达到对状态变换图(STG)输入、路径和状态的压缩,从而提高状态遍历的效率,另外根据电路的特点,提出状态冲突和不相交分解的启发技术以有效地完成验证.     

长江经济带城市经济发展水平的实证研究

以长江经济带沿线29个城市的经济发展水平作为研究对象,通过文献研究法确立了10项经济指标,并依据2018年相关指标的截面数据,采用Stata 12.0软件对29个城市的经济发展水平进行了相关分析、回归分析、因子分析及聚类分析.研究结果表明:长江经济带沿线城市的经济发展不均衡,其中长江下游城市的经济实力较强,而中游和上游城市的经济实力相对较弱.本文研究结果可为长江经济带沿线城市经济的均衡发展提供参考.     

解读MIT校园建筑

校园建筑不仅决定着一个大学校园的风格和规模,更重要的是它们代表着大学的普遍价值和愿望。分析MIT校园不同时期建造的建筑及其风格：从20世纪初的新古典主义到中期的现代主义,从20世纪后半叶的自然国际风到21世纪初的后现代主义,旨在展现这一世界著名大学校园的发展和规划历程,以期引起规划师和建筑师的一些关注和思考。     

蒙特卡罗模拟在《计量经济学》教学中的应用

在大学本科《计量经济学》教学过程中,运用蒙特卡罗模拟实验可以帮助学生轻易获得对相关知识的直接体验和理解,而不需要高级的数学知识。以存在违背经典假定的序列相关情形时为例,运用Stata软件进行编程,说明蒙特卡罗模拟实验在《计量经济学》教学中的应用。
