TALL : rethinking the systems of the contemporary high rise
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The life of modern work is complex. What once entailed simple activities encapsulated within simple and hierarchically designed spaces has evolved into a highly volatile and complex organism. Businesses and workers are ... -
Radiative transfer and thermal performance levels in foam insulation boardstocks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)The validity of predictive models for the thermal conductivity of foam insulation is established based on the fundamental geometry of the closed-cell foam. The extinction coefficient is experimentally and theoretically ... -
Soundfield simulation : the prediction and validation of acoustical behavior with compute models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In the past, acoustical consultants could only try to convince the client/architect that with calculations and geometrical plots they could create an acoustically superb space. Now, by modeling the significant acoustical ...
