Directions for the design of energy efficient kinematics in adaptive solar building envelopes
Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2017 The development of adaptive building envelopes is receiving increasing interest in contemporary architecture, as it strives to cope with several requirements such as energy saving and harvesting (or mitigating environmental actions), improving ...

Exploring the potential of Textile Reinforced Concrete for corrosion‐insensitive retaining walls
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In a context where durability concerns, particularly the corrosion of steel reinforcement, remain a critical challenge for conventional reinforced concrete structures under severe exposure, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is emerging as a promising alternative.

Adaptive Skins - Adaptive and Autoreactive Building Facades
, 2013 Building envelopes – the interface between the occupier of a building and the individual climatic conditions of the environment – are the essential influencing factors for the energy consumption of a building.[1]The dispute on different levels between each area, components, groups of components and materials, has always been crucial for new and ...

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.This article introduces the concept of excluded participation to examine how inclusion and exclusion are negotiated in real time within a Danish fifth‐grade classroom. Using a micro‐sociological framework, particularly the work of Erving Goffman, the study focuses on the case of Anders, a student whose participation is symbolically recognized yet ...

History, EarlyView.Abstract During the 1960s, Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) embraced Chinese overtures for a commercial opening as consistent with its anti‐imperialist posture, thereby foreshadowing the diplomatic opening to China in 1972. Yet this professed ideological pluralism was eclipsed by an underlying allegiance to the United States' anti ...

THE LEGITIMACY TRAP: Street Vending Heterogeneity and Selective Enforcement in San Francisco
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Literature on street vending regulation often emphasizes the challenges in enforcing legal frameworks due to unclear laws or insufficient state capacity. However, it tends to overlook diversity among vendors themselves along crucial parameters such as spatial location, community ties and processes of goods procurement.
