THE USE OF BAMBOO FACADES’ FREQUENCY TO IMPROVE APARTMENT USER’S WELL-BEING
Dimensi: Journal of Architecture and Built Environment, 2023 Noise from the road exceeding 40 dB disturbs the room atmosphere and quality of rest in an apartment. The aim of this research will utilize the wind to swing the kinetic facade to create background noise that supports the user's well-being.

Generalised Kinematic Single‐Impact and Multi‐Impact Models for Rocking Structures
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rocking motion is fundamental in earthquake engineering, as it reflects the dynamic behaviour of many structural systems. However, simulating the impacts during rocking motion remains a challenging topic, as they occur in a very short time, generate high impulsive forces, cause sudden changes in velocities and result in rapid energy losses.
