Superposition matrix for the assessment of performance-relevant adaptive façade functions
Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2019 The environmental boundary conditions and the demand for comfort change constantly during the use of a building. By dynamically balancing changing conditions and requirements, adaptive façades contribute to the energy efficiency of buildings. The façade

Boundary Contour System and Feature Contour System [PDF]
, 1995 When humans gaze upon a scene, our brains rapidly combine several different types of locally ambiguous visual information to generate a globally consistent and unambiguous representation of Form-And-Color-And-DEpth, or FACADE.

Realising Aboriginal Community Controlled Approaches to Child Reunification
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reunification rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) in Australia are critically low, even though reunification is the preferred permanency outcome for children following removal, and despite a range of mechanisms and strategies ostensibly to support effective reunification. To better understand the

Stakeholder Perspectives on Therapeutic and Safe Building Design in Residential Care
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Residential care is a form of out‐of‐home care that plays a critical role in supporting vulnerable young people in Australia. However, there is an evidence gap regarding the built environment in this context. This research aimed to explore the perspectives of key stakeholders in residential care in Victoria, Australia, regarding design that ...

A Self-Organizing Neural System for Learning to Recognize Textured Scenes [PDF]
, 1997 A self-organizing ARTEX model is developed to categorize and classify textured image regions. ARTEX specializes the FACADE model of how the visual cortex sees, and the ART model of how temporal and prefrontal cortices interact with the hippocampal system

Innovations in dynamic architecture
Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2015 High performance adaptive solutions are capable of responding to the dynamic nature of users and context. These innovative and dynamic systems are steadily gaining ground over ubiquitous ‘best fit’ static models. These architectural elements often exist
