Tensor anisotropy as a tracer of cosmic voids
, 2015 We present a new method to find voids in cosmological simulations based on the tidal and the velocity shear tensors definitions of the cosmic web. We use the fractional anisotropy (FA) computed from the eigenvalues of each web scheme as a void tracer. We

Moneo, Libeskind and a question of influence [PDF]
The Journal of Architecture, 2008 This paper focuses on two museum buildings designed in the 1980s: Rafael Moneo's Museum of Roman Art in Merida (1980-86) and Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum in Berlin (1988-99, 2001). The first consolidated the initial phase of Moneo's career, while the second, over-interpreted in subsequent criticism, ignited Libeskind's reputation as a theorist who ...

Disruptive Paradox: Deconstructive Architecture and its Subversive Power
On_CultureThroughout art history, disruption has been a deliberate tool for conveying meaning. In architecture, deviations from norms provoke reflection and challenge principles like Vitruvius’ firmitas, utilitas, and venustas.

Probing the kinematics of the Local Group with chemically enriched gas in the HESTIA simulations
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe present a study of the gas kinematics within the HESTIA project, a state-of-the-art set of simulations of the Local Group, with a particular focus on the velocity patterns of different ions and the large-scale motion of gas and galaxies towards the ...

On the necessity of symbolic interventions in dissonant monuments
Ochrona Dziedzictwa KulturowegoThe Charter of Venice stipulates that changes to a monument are only permitted on the basis of functional requirements. Changes to the symbolic function are explicitly excluded.

A Preinfall Magellanic Analog–Corona and Stream Formation in the HESTIA Cosmological Simulations
The Astrophysical JournalWe identify and investigate a preinfall analog of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMCs, SMCs) in the High-Resolution Environmental Simulations of the Immediate Area suite of constrained cosmological simulations.
