Current performance-driven building design methods are not widely adopted outside the research field for several reasons that make them difficult to integrate into a typical process. In early phase, in particular, time intensity and cognitive load associated with optimization form parametrization incompatible exploration, which requires quick iteration. This introduces novel method geometry gen...

Compared to conventional façades, adaptive façades (AFs) can adjust their properties in response environmental changes and user requirements. Often performed through the integration of actuators, sensors, control units, this provides benefits such as reduced energy consumption buildings but also increases complexity façade design. To efficiently deal with higher complexity, article aims provide...

Productivity gap on SoC design is a challenge to address in design method research area. Main research topics in this area address this problem using many schemes and methods. Software for automation in a system design and implementation is one solution to address design time efficiency. The second one is parallelism concept in hardware/software co-design. This approach addresses both design ti...

Design of electrical motors normally involves two main stages: i) Preparation of the main dimensions and parameters. ii) Prediction of the performance. At the first stage the main dimensions of the motor, core stack Lfe and stator outer diameter Do, must be chosen. A set of performance conditions such as breakdown torque, desired output and other important parameters must satisfy the internatio...
