Designer Protein-Based Performance Materials [PDF]
Biomacromolecules, 2006 Repeat sequence protein polymer (RSPP) technology provides a platform to design and make protein-based performance polymers and represents the best nature has to offer. We report here that the RSPP platform is a novel approach to produce functional protein polymers that have both biomechanical and biofunctional blocks built into one molecule by design,

Performative Design: A Performance-Based Model of Digital Architectural Design [PDF]
Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2009 Though design for building performance is traditionally considered an evaluative act, current developments in the theory and technology of digital design are promoting new directions for performance-based models of design. This paper presents a theoretical basis for understanding the current shift in performance-based design and proposes a model of ...
