As designers, we are required to make informed decisions and educate stakeholders of all potential criteria in selection of the design and engineering approach. ‘My thesis goal is to develop such a framework for adaptive façade design based on biomimetic logic and value engineering and test it with parametric modelling.

  • ENTRY and CONSENT FORM Yves Saint Laurent-Inspired Fashion Design Competition
    ENTRY AND CONSENT FORM Yves Saint Laurent-Inspired Fashion Design Competition Fashion students and recent graduates are invited to create an original look inspired by the fashion icon Yves Saint Laurent and Seattle Art Museum’s special exhibition, Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style on view from October 11, 2016 through January 8, 2017. Take one of three iconic YSL looks described below as inspiration and create a sketch design; finalists will be selected to produce their looks. Finalists will have the opportunity to produce the entire look and the best three will be displayed in the Seattle Art Museum’s Brotman Forum for the duration of the exhibition. The top three winners will also receive an invitation to the Yves Saint Laurent Opening Celebration on October 8 and a SAM membership to inspire their creativity. Note: travel to Seattle to attend the Opening Celebration not included in prize package. The first prize winner will also receive a photo shoot of their winning look with a Seattle fashion photographer (including model and makeup), gift certificates to fabric stores, and consultation with SAM’s marketing team to help launch their career. 1. Mondrian dress, 1965 Possibly YSL’s most famous look ever, bringing fine art into fashion with a playfulness that was perfectly in tune with Pop art and music of the moment. YSL audaciously applied the modernist concept of flatness to the dress—no darts, no zippers. 2. Safari dress, 1968 This iconic look reached back to France’s colonial past and images of big game hunting. But it took hold with a new audience in the late 1960s as Saint Laurent adapted the laced-up tunic for both men and women, a revolutionary idea of androgyny that would help define the decade of the 1970s.

BOX 1450 ALEXANDRIA, VA 22313-1450 tel (571) 272-5600 / FAX (571) 273-0110 A PATENT TECHNOLOGY MONITORING TEAM REPORT Design Patenting By Organizations 2013 This report, prepared from the Technology Assessment and Forecast (TAF) database, profiles design patents granted during calendar year 2013. Part A1 Part A1 presents patent counts by origin, U.S. and foreign. Individual counts are also presented for each of the top 36 patenting countries. Patent origin is determined by the residence of the first-named inventor listed on a patent. Patent ownership-category information reflects ownership at the time of patent grant and does not reflect subsequent changes in ownership. If more than one assignee (the entity, if any, to which the patent rights have been legally assigned) was declared at the time of grant, a patent is attributed to the ownership-category of the first-named assignee. The "U.S. Corporations" and "Foreign Corporations" ownership categories count predominantly corporate patents; however, patents assigned to other organizations such as small businesses, nonprofit organizations, universities, etc. are also included in these categories. While the "U.S. Government" ownership category includes only patents granted to the Federal Government, no such distinction is made for the "Foreign Government" ownership category. The "U.S. Individuals" and "Foreign Individuals" ownership categories include patents for which ownership was assigned to an individual as well as patents for which no assignment of ownership was made at the time of grant (i.e., ownership was retained by the inventor(s)).
