EXPERIENCING MORE‐THAN‐PANDEMIC WATERSCAPES: An Intra‐urban Comparison of Water Practices and Geographies in Nairobi

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract While many African cities, such as Nairobi, fared comparatively well during the pandemic years, urban residents still faced compounded uncertainties and an unequal distribution of burdens that were infrastructurally co‐mediated, for example, within and through place‐specific waterscapes and their socio‐technical infrastructures.

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I introduce the concept of augural territories to theorize the urbanism that emerged during pandemic lockdowns.

Fused Collapsing for Wide BVH Construction

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose a novel approach for constructing wide bounding volume hierarchies on the GPU by integrating a simple bottom‐up collapsing procedure within an existing binary bottom‐up BVH builder. Our approach directly constructs a wide BVH without traversing a temporary binary BVH as done by previous approaches and achieves 1.4 – 1.6 × lower ...
