SITUATION ROOM
Creators: name: Fornes, Marc
name: Winderen, Jana
Publisher: name: TU Delft Open
Year: 2015

description: Situation Room by MARC FORNES / THEVERYMANY is a light-weight, ultra-thin self-supported shell structure augmented by artist Jana Winderen’s engineered sounds. The overall form is an aggregate of twenty spheres of incremental diameters, combined to create an envelope of experiential tension, a sort of sublime dialogue between the comfort of the known and an uneasy interaction with the unknown. The resultant morphology resonates with a series of distributed transducers and lighting sources playing out through streams of porosity derived from structural stress flows across the elements.
The envelope is created out of boolean operations merging the spheres and lending rigidity through the inherent double curvature, while best allowing for storage through nesting of incremental radii. The inverted curvature of smoothed sphere-intersections provide additional reinforcement while blending with a series of internal rhizomatic networks derived from convergent sphere points. The internal networks subdivide and recombine, eventually resolving into columns to carry downloads to the ground. The apparent complexity of the internal morphology is a direct result of the dense aggregate of spheres, creating a rich repertoire of spatial conditions exempli ed by compression/expansion, hierarchies and branching, knotting, coves . . .
Stress flows from structural analysis are used for directional tness by a series of distributed agents crawling its morphology. Their trails are eventually materialized into non-linear aluminum stripes, while gaps within the force flows are translated into aperture. The spatial experience is augmented through ten-channels of resonant sounds propagated across the structural surface, operating here as a membrane for distributed transducers. The system set-up provides a large scale inhabitable instrument-apparatus of play for both composer and visitor.
Spatial envelope, acoustic-membrane, structural-performance, assembly-parts and distributed lighting are unified and amalgamated through a coat of neon-effect, blurring one’s perception of the known.

OLD BANK DISTRICT MUSEUM (OBDM)
Creators: name: Wiscombe, Tom
Publisher: name: TU Delft Open
Year: 2015

description: The OBDM is a contemporary art and design museum located in the heart of the Old Bank District of Downtown Los Angeles. The project is part adaptive re-use and part new construction, capitalizing on the tension between historical and contemporary architecture. The project is located beneath, inside of, and on top of theFarmer’s & Merchant’s Bank, the Hellman Building, and the Bankhouse Garage at 4th and Main Street. The Museum is a three dimensional space that weaves through these buildings, inhabiting their hidden or forgotten spaces. It is an unorthodox museum form, in the sense that it withdraws from iconicity and creates a world within a world. A sequence of discrete objects draws visitors through the space. Objects penetrate through floors, peek over rooftops, and inhabit dark interior voids. The main 45,000 SF. exhibition space is located in basement and sub-basement spaces that include turn-of-the-century bank vaults that become part of the ensemble. On the roof of the Bankhouse Garage is a 35,000 SF. Sculpture Garden with a Café and Amphitheater, creating a new ground in the city. In this way, a new form of museum is created, one which weaves art through the heart of downtown and connects it to the everyday life of the community.

description: Canada’s Living Architecture Systems Group (LASG) combines scientists, engineers, architects and artists working together to create large-scale prototypes of immersive architectural spaces with qualities that come strikingly close to those of living systems. Working in interdis- ciplinary groups combining architects, engineers and scientists, LASG is building environments that can move, respond, and learn; environments that renew themselves with chemical exchanges and that are adaptive and empathic toward their inhabitants. This paper provides a detailed review of the history and current research of the group, including a detailed case study of Epiphyte Chamber, a complex immersive environment presented at the new Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, 2014. We also include a context of precedents in the rapidly evolving field of responsive architecture, and a description of the current implementation of a new proprioceptive distributed control system employing a curiosity-based learning algorithm. Also included are detailed reviews of industrial design methods and digital fabrication of specialized structures and mechanisms. The paper is illustrated with industrial design drawings, interactive system design documents, and photography of a series of current environments and test-beds authored by the group. We hope that this presentation offers an inspiring vision, and associated working methods, for the future of the built environment.

Subjects: digital matter, responsive architecture, adaptive structures, active materials, buildings that think, material intelligence, artificial intelligence, digital fabrication

description: Understanding the significant need of generating the production of non-rigid, responsive and multi-functional material and construction systems, the scope of the paper is to present research case studies on digital and computed matter, exploring intelligent construction systems to be applied at architectural scale. The projects implement active materials, information, digital content and fabrication foreseeing an engineered architectural future of intelligent responsiveness and adaptation. Most of the materials presented in this paper are not new and have been extensively researched previously for a number of applications. The novel aspect of the present research agenda is the process of implementation of such materials in architectural systems and the exploration of how digital design-fabrication and physical computing can contribute on the implementation of dynamic systems in the architectural scale. The research presents five systems based on (1)shape-memory polymers and alloys, (2) hydrogel crystals and hydromorph polymers, all materials able to adjust their properties to different environmental conditions and allowing to program buildings at a nanoscale, opening up a series of applications on architectural scale and the industry. The four systems presented combine material intelligence with artificial and computational intelligence, simulations, sensors, actuators, as well as bio-mimetic innovations bringing forth new explorations on growth, adaptability, repair, sensitivity, replication and energy savings in architecture.

UNDER STRESS
Creators: name: Fornes, Marc
Publisher: name: TU Delft Open
Year: 2015

description: Under Stress by MARC FORNES / THEVERYMANY is an architectural installation located in public areas of the Department of Computer Science at a leading French University. It utilizes programming techniques inherent in computer science to optimize the form and creating a pattern on the surface.
The structure engages the spaces with its intricate and gestural movements that effortlessly travel over the area. While providing visitors with iconic hubs for informal and spontaneous social gatherings, it expresses the tension between the dynamic interactions from the multi- directional and converging paths within the public spaces. As much a signal for the school, the installation becomes elements of enhancement for the school’s identity.
//RESEARCH/ The lightweight, ultra-thin structure is the result of an on-going research from the studio into custom computational protocols for optimization of surface tension, geometric description for information modeling, and (re)assembly ef ciency up to logistics of transportation.
//SKIN/ Multiple generative steps were developed to form a continuous, structurally performing skin system. An initial topological mesh object, connecting on six distributed anchor points within the space, is submitted to an iterative surface tension process. A seventh extra anchor toward the ceiling, not physically connected, is added in order to maximize double curvature along the surface, and therefore embedding inherent stiffness.
//MORPHOLOGY/ Stress flows obtained from structural analysis are translated into a vector-field used for directional fitness by a series of distributed “agents”, flowing along the overall morphology. The non-intersecting trails of the “agents” are eventually materialized into non-linear aluminum stripes, of length equivalent to the “agents”’ lives. These stripes are connected together and held in place with rivets, maintaining a smooth flow of forces along the surface through tangential continuity while describing the overall morphology. Such search protocols are used to replace traditional descriptive geometry rule-sets often far too complex on such non-linear morphologies.

KINMEN PASSENGER SERVICE CENTER
Creators: name: Wiscombe, Tom
Publisher: name: TU Delft Open
Year: 2015

description: A New Era of Communication
This proposal for the Kinmen Passenger Service Center is based on the idea that what we are building is not just a piece of infrastructure, but also a cultural intervention. To do this, the unique history of Kinmen must be considered. Kinmenese culture has evolved from its Fujian Province traditions and formal establishment as “Kinmen” (meaning: “Golden Gate”) in the 14th century, but also by becoming a multi-cultural crossing-point for trade, having been occupied by the Japanese from 1937–1945 in World War II, and then becoming part of the territory of the Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist government after the Chinese Civil War in 1949. During the period between 1949 and 1992, Kinmen was transformed from a quiet island culture into a military front line, which radically changed its way of life. Its ground became three-dimensionalized into a network of underground bomb shelters and sea tunnels for protecting people and ships, while its surface became hardened by military installations. Communication in this era of tense Taiwan-Mainland relations consisted of physical shelling, and visible propaganda slogans and lines of tanks along opposing shorelines.Nevertheless, there is another more nuanced story here, that of deep understanding between the Kinmenese and the Mainland Chinese, a sense of shared cultural and economic history and destiny, a sharing of resources (such as water during wartime, and now, in the form of a planned pipeline), and a shared appreciation of the historical significance of the Island and its sublime natural habitats and architecture. Now, as cross-strait tensions subside, and this war-time era comes to a close, Kinmen Island can be re-vitalized and re-discovered through new modes of communication. Its heritage parks, wildlife, historical villages and also its military heritage will be a draw for a new generation of visitors and immigrants. The opening of free travel between China and Kinmen in 2001 was a critical moment, now expanded by the ‘Three-Links’ pilot program. Recently, unprecedented high-level talks between Taiwanese and Chinese government officials have underscored the commitment of both to open communication, trade, and transportation. In this context, designing a Port Terminal for Kinmen is not only a unique opportunity but a great responsibility. The Kinmen Passenger Service Center should set the tone for the island both in terms of reflecting its complex identity and affiliations, but also in terms of presenting a vision of its future.

description: This paper showcases three recent projects from the design practice of Zwarts & Jansma Architects: an entry for the ARC Wildlife Crossing Design Competition, a design executed for the Extended Waal Bridge in Nijmegen, the Netherlands and HiLo, a research and innovation unit for NEST which is a flagship project of Empa and Eawag a collaborative effort to contribute to the future of construction. In all the three cases, the design has been driven by the construction method of using a large cable-net formwork with a secondary system of geotextiles. This new concept builds upon existing architectural vocabulary, ideas and advantages found in fabric formwork technology, cable-nets and tensioned membrane roofs, to allow for variable-scale, long-span structures. The resulting designs demonstrate the computational tools developed to imitate and inform physical realities and validate how both thin shell volumetric concrete structures can be made with this system. Both physical and digital, parametric design models were used during development of these designs. Insights into the feasibility and viability of this method have been discussed based on experiences during the design process leading to construction and realization in the real world.

description: Im südlichen Hunsrück wird eine Mächtigkeitsanalyse des „Hunsrückschiefers“ vorgenommen. Dazu zählen auch die berühmten Dachschiefer-Vorkommen von Bundenbach, die zum tiefsten Abschnitt des „Hunsrückschiefers“ über dem Taunusquarzit gehören. Sie können teilweise mit Cephalopoden und Dacryoconariden Nowakia-Biozonen zugeordnet werden. Der „Hunsrückschiefer“ besitzt dort eine Mächtigkeit von ca. 800 m, die ihr annäherndes Äquivalent bei Kirschweiler hat. Südlich des Soonwald-Siesbach-Sattels scheint die Mächtigkeit des „Hunsrückschiefers“ geringer zu sein. Dort ist teilweise eine Abgrenzung zum Hangenden mit Fossilien der Oberen Vallendar-Unterstufe (Klerf-Formation) oder jünger bzw. mit typischen Sedimenten des Eifelium zu belegen. Die Hahnenbach-Mulde kann tektonisch durch eine Aufschiebung in zwei Einheiten gegliedert werden.
description: Abstract: In the southern Hunsrück an analysis of the thickness of the „Hunsrück Slate“ will be undertaken. The famous roof slate deposits of Bundenbach lay in the lowermost part of the „Hunsrück Slate“ upon the Taunus quartzite. This section has a thickness of about 800 m. In the south of the Soonwald-Siesbach anticline the thickness of the „Hunsrück Slate“ seems to be smaller. There is partly a delimitation of the „Hunsrück Slate“ to the overlying beds with fossils of the Upper Vallendar Substage (Klerf Formation) or younger respectively with typical sediments of the Eifelium (carbonatic, cherts). An overthrust divides the Hahnenbach Syncline tectonically into two smaller units.

description: A light (GeV mass) long-lived ($cτ$ around dozens of millimeters) CP-odd scalar can be readily predicted in new physics models. In this work we investigate the Higgs decay into such a light scalar plus a $Z$-boson and take the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) as an example. This light long-lived scalar, with the dominant decay to tau leptons, will fly over a distance from the production point and present a displaced vertex in an Inner Detector of a generally purposed experiment like ATLAS or CMS. In our study we focus on the LHC experiment and perform Monte Carlo simulations for the signal and backgrounds. We demonstrate some benchmark points for the aligned 2HDM and find the signal to be detectable when the luminosity is accumulated to 300 fb$^{-1}$. So our study suggests an experimental search for this process in the ongoing LHC.

description: Advances in the computational simulation techniques in the last decade have prompted increased interests and emphasis to be brought onto performance driven design approaches. As a result, tectonic, describing the relationship between structural and architectural properties has become one of the main topics in the discourse related to form finding methods in digital design. This paper specifically highlights the computational tools, work flow and research agenda pursued at Zaha Hadid Architects. The selected projects in this paper showcase how structural performance, fabrication performance, and material intelligence inform the resulting morphologies through computational design in different architectural scales and the technologies employed to realize complex morphologies. Self-supporting curved surface such as shell structures are provided as examples of multi-performative morphologies which integrate structure, skin enclosure, material, fabrication, spatial and social function through topological variations. This paper aims to illustrate research driven form finding and fabrication methods that are interdisciplinary in nature and the computational methodology to integrate bottom up design process in current architectural practice within the constraints of real-world construction industry.

VAULTED WILLOW

Publisher: name: TU Delft Open
Year: 2015

description: Vaulted Willow by MARC FORNES / THEVERYMANY is an architectural folly exploring lightweight, ultra-thin, self-supported shells through the development of custom computational protocols of structural form-finding and descriptive geometry. The project’s aim is to resolve and delineate structure, skin and ornamentation into a single united system.
//SKIN/ Vaulted Willow’s striated skin is an intricate assembly of structural shingles. These are similar, yet unique, digitally fabricated stripes that overlap through their extended tabs to double material thickness.
//MORPHOLOGY/ Vaulted Willow’s overall morphology is the result of a reciprocal relationship encompassing experiments in non-linear architectural typology (multiple entries, distributed feet with branching and spiraling legs), structural differentiation (bifurcation of structural download forces, tighter radii of leg profiles for rigidity . . .) and programmatic possibilities for a winding playground (hide and seek . . .)
//COLORS/ Vaulted Willow’s colors are originated in its immediate environment, though for it to be an iconic destination within Borden Park, the colors are pushed toward artificiality. The greens and blues blend into a synthetic magenta, overlapping to reveal a two-way Cheshire scheme.
//BITS AND PARTS/ Vaulted Willow is comprised of 721 aluminum stripes, 14,043 connectors and 60 epoxy concrete anchors. The project uses aluminum of three different thicknesses. 24 base plates are anchored to a concrete pad of 240 cubic feet. It took four days, and a crew of four to assemble the prefabricated parts.

TAICHUNG CITY CULTURAL CENTER
Creators: name: Wiscombe, Tom
Publisher: name: TU Delft Open
Year: 2015

description: Urban and Architectural Concept
This proposal seeks to create a cultural space which is simultaneously a destination and a gateway. By dividing the program into two distinct Figures, rather than a monolithic subdivided block, we allow for a visual and physical connection between the city to the north and Gateway Park to the south. The different character and silhouette of each Figure, along with their verticality, creates visually arresting interstitial spaces and views of city and nature. A third object, the Shroud, connects the two Figures without fusing them into a homogeneous mass. The Museum Figure squishes up into the Canopy, while the Library Figure squishes down into the Canopy from above, creating mysterious elastic formal effects and complex sectional spaces. Despite these local deformations, the cornice height of the Canopy remains at 30M., which is the projected height of the convention center to the north, and also the height limit of the park side setback. This datum creates visual continuity with the urban corridor, helping to avoid the sense of detachment often associated with iconic buildings. The Shroud varies in thickness from razor-thin to thick to allow for structural depth as well as inhabitable spaces. A Sky Deck is located inside the thickest area, connecting the Museum and Library at mid-level and allowing views out over Gateway Park. The design of the skin is influenced by the craft of stitching and seaming in fashion design, where joints are often employed for their visual figuration rather than simply to attach pieces of fabric together. The Shroud is broken down into a patchwork of super-joints which are sometimes real and sometimes fake. Super-joints sometimes track with underlying geometry and sometimes ignore it. The result is a chunky, varied tapestry rather than a relentless panelization aesthetic. By pushing much of the building program into the ground, and lifting the rest up into the Figures and the Shroud, we are able to open up the ground and allow Gateway Park to flow into the site. This loosely bounded space is a sanctuary, featuring green space as well as protection from sun and rain in the harsh tropical environment of Taichung. This sanctuary can be shared by both buildings to host cultural events such as festivals, art markets, and book fairs.

Publisher: name: TU Delft Open
Year: 2015

description: The presented research work showcases a multi-objective performance-driven approach for form optimizing of green buildings. This integrated approach synergizes a building’s physical performance evaluation process with its form generation process. The approach is established by coupling Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) with building information parametric models (BIM) and is driven by Genetic Algorithms (GAs). The resultant multi-objective building form optimization system is presented in this paper as the GANN-BIM model. The advantages of the GANN-BIM model are the following: Firstly, by adopting an advanced GA method, it is capable of handling multiple, conflicting design objectives, Secondly, by incorporating ANNs model, it can greatly reduce the amount of computation power needed for building performance evaluation, Thirdly, by connecting to BIM system, it is in compliance with an architect’s design work ow. This paper presents the framework and key technical components of the GANN-BIM model. Firstly, related works in the field of building performance optimization with advanced computation method are reviewed. Secondly, the limitations of current building performance optimization methods are addressed, which leads to the discussion of the GA + ANN method. Thirdly, the work flow and main technical components of GANN-BIM model are presented.

description: We report the cancellation of the soliton self-frequency shift in nonlinear optical fibers. A soliton which interacts with a group velocity matched low intensity dispersive pump pulse, experiences a continuous blue-shift in frequency, which counteracts the soliton selffrequency shift due to Raman scattering. The soliton self-frequency shift can be fully compensated by a suitably prepared dispersive wave.We quantify this kind of soliton-dispersive wave interaction by an adiabatic approach and demonstrate that the compensation is stable in agreement with numerical simulations.

description: The problem of finding the expected value of a statistic of a locally stable point process in a bounded region is addressed. We propose an adaptive importance sampling for solving the problem. In our proposal, we restrict the importance point process to the family of homogeneous Poisson point processes, which enables us to generate quickly independent samples of the importance point process. The optimal intensity of the importance point process is found by applying the cross-entropy minimization method. In the proposed scheme, the expected value of the function and the optimal intensity are iteratively estimated in an adaptive manner. We show that the proposed estimator converges to the target value almost surely, and prove the asymptotic normality of it. We explain how to apply the proposed scheme to the estimation of the intensity of a stationary pairwise interaction point process. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared numerically with the Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation and the perfect sampling.

Als Liefergebiet für die vulkanische Komponente werden Ablagerungen des Lahn-Dill-Vulkanismus auf „Istaevonia” angenommen. Von dort gelangte das chemisch nur wenig verwitterte Material in den Ablagerungsbereich des Oos-Plattenkalks und wurde unter größtenteils stagnierenden Bedingungen abgelagert.
description: Abstract: Geochemical investigations were performed on 20 Upper Devonian limestone (”Oos-Plattenkalk”) samples of the Eifel “Kalkmuldenzone” in order to collect informations on the conditions of deposition. The composition of the limestone-detritus was controlled by volcanism in the hinterland “Istaevonia”, probably by the deposits of Lahn-Dill-volcanism. From there the chemically slightly weathered material was transported into the predominantly stagnant depositional environment of the “Oos-Plattenkalk”.

description: A complete mapping of a group $Γ$ is a bijection $φ\colon Γ\to Γ$ for which the mapping $x \mapsto x+φ(x)$ is a bijection. In this paper we consider the existence of a complete mapping $φ$ of $Γ$ and a partition $S_1,S_2,\ldots S_t$ of elements of $Γ$, such that $\sum_{s\in S_i}s=\sum_{s\in S_i}φ(s)=0$ for every $i$, $1 \leq i \leq t$.
 A $Γ$-magic rectangle set $MRS_Γ(a, b; c)$ of order $abc$ is a collection of $c$ arrays $(a\times b)$ whose entries are elements of group $Γ$ of order $abc$, each appearing once, with all row sums in every rectangle equal to a constant $ω\in Γ$ and all column sums in every rectangle equal to a constant $δ\in Γ$.
 While a complete characterization of MRS$_Γ(a,b;c)$ exists for cases where $\{a,b\}\not=\{2k+1,2^α\}$, the scenario where $\{a,b\}=\{2k+1,2^α\}$ remains unsolved for $α>1$. Using the partition of $Γ$ into zero-sum sets by complete mappings, we give some sufficient conditions that a $Γ$-magic rectangle set MRS$_Γ(2k+1, 2^α;c)$ exists.

description: Die mikropaläontologische Bearbeitung einiger Bohrprofile im Mainzer Becken hat gezeigt, daß die Abfolge Oberer Rupelton-Schleichsand-Cyrenenmergel auf der Grundlage der bisherigen Annahmen nicht überall gliederbar ist. Die als leitend oder als typisch angesehenen Formen kommen sowohl im Hangenden als auch im Liegenden immer wieder vor oder sie sind an eine bestimmte Lithofazies gebunden und deshalb im Profil nicht kontinuierlich vorhanden. Für diese Untersuchungen standen die Bohrungen Hackenheim, Ingelheim, Udenheim und die Bohrungen auf Blatt 6015 Mainz Nummer 1-10, 16, 17, 27-32, 35-37 zur Verfügung.
description: Abstract: In the Mainz Basin, it is very difficult to subdivide the Rupelian to the Lower Chattian series being based on microfaunas. To divide these series by the help of one sample or few samples of faunas respectively is nearly impossible in the area mentioned above. However, the recognition of the boundary Oberer Rupelton/Schleichsand in a complete sequence is possible, that of the boundary Schleichsand/Cyrenenmergel only sometimes. Several stratigraphically important genera resp. species of foraminifera and ostracoda are mentioned in the paper.

description: In den Unterdevon-Schichten der Nordeifel westlich der Mechernicher Triassenke sind sekundär durch Hämatit gerötete Tonsteine verbreitet. Ihr makroskopisches Erscheinungsbild wird beschrieben und ihre Unterscheidbarkeit von primär roten Unterdevon-Schichten herausgestellt. Basierend auf einem Abriss zur Erforschungsgeschichte sekundär geröteter paläozoischer Gesteine wird versucht durch mikroskopische Untersuchungen im Durch- und Auflicht der Entstehungsweise dieser Gesteine näher zu kommen. Als Ausgangsmaterial der sekundären Hämatitbildung innerhalb des Mineralgefüges der Gesteine kommen eisenhaltiges Karbonat, Pyrit und Chlorit in Frage. Es ist nicht möglich eine dieser Komponenten als alleiniges Ausgangsmaterial zu identifizieren.
description: Abstract: Lower Devonian claystones with a secondary staining by hematite are wide-spread in the Northern Eifel Mountains west of the Mechernich Triassic triangle. Their macroscopic appearence is described and the differentiation criteria of primary red Lower Devonian strata are pointed out. Based on an outline of the investigation history of secondarily reddened palaeozoic rocks attempt is made to decipher the genesis of these rocks with microscopical means. Ferroan carbonate, pyrite and chlorite are in question for being the primary material for hematite formation within the mineral structure of the rocks. It is not possible to identify one of these components as the sole primary material.

description: A Dark Sink uses dark-sector interactions to siphon energy from dark matter to lighter dark degrees of freedom, i.e. dark radiation. Here, we extend dark matter models containing a Dark Sink to sub-MeV masses. We consider a Dark Sink model where the dark matter is charged under a light dark photon that has kinetic mixing with the Standard Model. For sub-MeV dark matter masses, plasmon decays are the dominant mechanism for transferring energy to the dark sector. Relative to a standard freeze-in cosmology, reproducing the observed dark matter density in a Dark Sink structure requires an increase in the dark matter couplings to the Standard Model, and hence increased direct detection cross sections. These models provide benchmarks for current and upcoming direct detection experiments. Accounting for plasmon effects, we derive the range of possible dark matter masses and cross sections for Dark Sink models in the sub-MeV regime. We make code available to reproduce our benchmarks; it may be of use for other freeze-in scenarios, including those where plasmon decays to the dark matter are important.
