Designing for the co-Orchestration of Social Transitions between Individual, Small-Group and Whole-Class Learning in the Classroom

Jennifer Kaitlyn Olsen

Educational technologies are often developed such that students work on specific social levels (e.g., individual, small group, whole class) at specific times. However, in the reality of the classroom, learning activities are not so cleanly divided, with tr ...

Data-driven method for low-carbon building design at early stages

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

The Paris agreement on climate change called for carbon neutrality as of 2050. The built environment is one of the major contributors to the greenhouse effect, representing 39% of global emissions. As a result, this sector is targeted by green standards an ...

A digital workflow to quantify regenerative urban design in the context of a changing climate

Pietro Florio, Parag Rastogi, Emanuele Naboni

The regenerative approach to design goes beyond limiting the environmental impact of the built environment and towards the enrichment of the ecosystem, adaptation to climate change, and the improvement of human health. This concept is being applied to buil ...
