  • Alvar Aalto's Associative Geometries
    Alvar Aalto Researchers’ Network Seminar – Why Aalto? 9-10 June 2017, Jyväskylä, Finland Alvar Aalto’s associative geometries Holger Hoffmann Prof. Dipl.-Ing., Architekt BDA Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design Why Aalto?, 3rd Alvar Aalto Researchers Network Seminar, Jyväskylä 2017 Prof. Holger Hoffmann, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, April 30th, 2017 Paper Proposal ALVAR AALTO‘S ASSOCIATIVE GEOMETRIES This paper, written from a practitioner’s point of view, aims at describing Alvar Aalto’s use of associative geometries as an inspiration for contemporary computational design techniques and his potential influence on a place-specific version of today’s digital modernism. In architecture the introduction of digital design and communication techniques during the 1990s has established a global discourse on complexity and the relation between the universal and the specific. And however the great potential of computer technology lies in the differentiation and specification of architectural solutions, ‘place’ and especially ‘place-form’ has not been of greatest interest since. Therefore I will try to build a narrative that describes the possibilities of Aalto’s “elastic standardization” as a method of well-structured differentiation in relation to historical and contemporary methods of constructing complexity. I will then use a brief geometrical analysis of Aalto’s “Neue Vahr”-building to hint at a potential relation of his work to the concept of ‘difference and repetition’ that is one of the cornerstones of contemporary ‘parametric design’. With the help of two projects (one academic, one professional) I will furthermore try to show the capability of such an approach to open the merely generic formal vocabulary of so-called “parametricism” to contextual or regional necessities in a ‘beyond-digital’ way.

  • Understanding Projection Systems
    Understanding Projection Systems Understanding Projection Systems A Point: A point has no dimensions, a theoretical location that has neither length, width nor height. A point shows an exact location in space. It is important to understand that a point is not an object, but a position. We represent a point by placing a dot with a pencil. A Line: A line is a geometric object that has length and direction but no thickness. A line may be straight or curved. A line may be infinitely long. If a line has a definite length it is called a line segment or curve segment. A straight line is the shortest distance between two points which is known as the true length of the line. A line is named using letters to indicate its endpoints. B B A A AB - Straight Line Segment AB – Curved Line Segment A line may be seen as the locus of a point as it travels between two points. A B A line can graphically represent the intersection of two surfaces, the edge view of a surface, or the limiting element of a surface. B A Plane: A plane is a flat surface which is infinitely large with zero thickness. Just as a point generates a line, a line can generate a plane. A A portion of a plane is referred to as a lamina. A Plane may be defined in a number of different ways. - 1 - Understanding Projection Systems A plane may be defined by; (i) 3 non-linear points (ii) A line and a point (iii) Two intersecting lines (iv) Two Parallel Lines (The point can not lie on the line) Descriptive Geometry: refers to the representation of 3D objects in a 2D format using points, lines and planes.

  • Identifying Robust Plans Through Plan Diagram Reduction
    Identifying Robust Plans through Plan Diagram Reduction ∗ Harish D. Pooja N. Darera Jayant R. Haritsa Database Systems Lab, SERC/CSA Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012, INDIA ABSTRACT tary and conceptually different approach, which we consider in this Estimates of predicate selectivities by database query optimizers paper, is to identify robust plans that are relatively less sensitive to often differ significantly from those actually encountered during such selectivity errors. In a nutshell, to “aim for resistance, rather query execution, leading to poor plan choices and inflated response than cure”, by identifying plans that provide comparatively good times. In this paper, we investigate mitigating this problem by performance over large regions of the selectivity space. Such plan replacing selectivity error-sensitive plan choices with alternative choices are especially important for industrial workloads where plans that provide robust performance. Our approach is based on global stability is as much a concern as local optimality [18]. the recent observation that even the complex and dense “plan di- Over the last decade, a variety of strategies have been proposed agrams” associated with industrial-strength optimizers can be ef- to identify robust plans, including the Least Expected Cost [6, 8], ficiently reduced to “anorexic” equivalents featuring only a few Robust Cardinality Estimation [2] and Rio [3, 4] approaches.

  • Axonometric Projection
    Axonometric Projection ARCH 1101 - Intro to Architecture Axonometric Projection Professor Christo Spring 2020 Semester AXONOMETRIC Axonometric projection is a type of orthographic projection used for creating a pictorial drawing of an object, where the lines of sight are perpendicular to the plane of projection, and the object is rotated around one or more of its axes to reveal multiple sides. Axonometric drawings do not have vanishing points as in a perspective drawing. Consequently, all lines on a common axis are draw as parallel. AXONOMETRIC ARCH 1101 - Intro to Architecture Axonometric Projection Professor Christo Spring 2020 Semester AXON BASICS We typically use either 45-45-90 degree or 30-60-90 degree projection. What is critical is that we maintain our 90 degree angle within the object we are projecting, and all angles add up to 180 degrees. This is convenient for us since we have 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 degree triangles.

  • Map Projections
    Map Projections Chapter 4 Map Projections What is map projection? Why are map projections drawn? What are the different types of projections? Which projection is most suitably used for which area? In this chapter, we will seek the answers of such essential questions. MAP PROJECTION Map projection is the method of transferring the graticule of latitude and longitude on a plane surface. It can also be defined as the transformation of spherical network of parallels and meridians on a plane surface. As you know that, the earth on which we live in is not flat. It is geoid in shape like a sphere. A globe is the best model of the earth. Due to this property of the globe, the shape and sizes of the continents and oceans are accurately shown on it. It also shows the directions and distances very accurately. The globe is divided into various segments by the lines of latitude and longitude. The horizontal lines represent the parallels of latitude and the vertical lines represent the meridians of the longitude. The network of parallels and meridians is called graticule. This network facilitates drawing of maps. Drawing of the graticule on a flat surface is called projection. But a globe has many limitations. It is expensive. It can neither be carried everywhere easily nor can a minor detail be shown on it. Besides, on the globe the meridians are semi-circles and the parallels 35 are circles. When they are transferred on a plane surface, they become intersecting straight lines or curved lines. 2021-22 Practical Work in Geography NEED FOR MAP PROJECTION The need for a map projection mainly arises to have a detailed study of a 36 region, which is not possible to do from a globe.

    189_09 aju 03 Bryon 8/1/10 07:25 Página 31 Measuring the qualities of Choisy’s oblique and axonometric projections Hilary Bryon Auguste Choisy is renowned for his «axonometric» representations, particularly those illustrating his Histoire de l’architecture (1899). Yet, «axonometric» is a misnomer if uniformly applied to describe Choisy’s pictorial parallel projections. The nomenclature of parallel projection is often ambiguous and confusing. Yet, the actual history of parallel projection reveals a drawing system delineated by oblique and axonometric projections which relate to inherent spatial differences. By clarifying the intrinsic demarcations between these two forms of parallel pro- jection, one can discern that Choisy not only used the two spatial classes of pictor- ial parallel projection, the oblique and the orthographic axonometric, but in fact manipulated their inherent differences to communicate his theory of architecture. Parallel projection is a form of pictorial representation in which the projectors are parallel. Unlike perspective projection, in which the projectors meet at a fixed point in space, parallel projectors are said to meet at infinity. Oblique and axonometric projections are differentiated by the directions of their parallel pro- jectors. Oblique projection is delineated by projectors oblique to the plane of pro- jection, whereas the orthographic axonometric projection is defined by projectors perpendicular to the plane of projection. Axonometric projection is differentiated relative to its angles of rotation to the picture plane. When all three axes are ro- tated so that each is equally inclined to the plane of projection, the axonometric projection is isometric; all three axes are foreshortened and scaled equally.

    Smart Sketch System for 3D Reconstruction Based Modeling Ferran Naya1, Julián Conesa2, Manuel Contero1, Pedro Company3, Joaquim Jorge4 1 DEGI - ETSII, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Camino de Vera s/n, 46022 Valencia, Spain {fernasan, mcontero}@degi.upv.es 2 DEG, Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, C/ Dr. Fleming 30202 Cartagena, Spain [email protected] 3 Departamento de Tecnología, Universitat Jaume I de Castellón, Campus Riu Sec 12071 Castellón, Spain [email protected] 4 Engª. Informática, IST, Av.Rovisco Pais 1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal [email protected] Abstract. Current user interfaces of CAD systems are still not suited to the ini- tial stages of product development, where freehand drawings are used by engi- neers and designers to express their visual thinking. In order to exploit these sketching skills, we present a sketch based modeling system, which provides a reduced instruction set calligraphic interface to create orthogonal polyhedra, and an extension of them we named quasi-normalons. Our system allows users to draw lines on free-hand axonometric-like drawings, which are automatically tidied and beautified. These line drawings are then converted into a three- dimensional model in real time because we implemented a fast reconstruction process, suited for quasi-normalon objects and so-called axonometric inflation method, providing in this way an innovative integrated 2D sketching and 3D view visualization work environment. 1 Introduction User interfaces of most CAD applications are based on the WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointing) paradigm, that is not enough flexible to support sketching activi- ties in the conceptual design phase. Recently, work on sketch-based modeling has looked at a paradigm shift to change the way geometric modeling applications are built, in order to focus on user-centric systems rather than systems that are organized around the details of geometry representation.
