Simulation-based optimization for an origami-shaped canopy

PARC: Pesquisa em Arquitetura e Construção, 2020
This study perceives the developing process of Simulation-based Optimization (SBO), using Octopus® for Grasshopper®. This investigation aimed to optimize an Origami-inspired canopy designed to admit solar radiation and daylight in transitional spaces. As

The Problem of Lighting in Underground Domes, Vaults, and Tunnel-Like Structures of Antiquity; An Application to the Sustainability of Prominent Asian Heritage (India, Korea, China) [PDF]

, 2019
Lighting in heritage is complex because of the forms intervening in it. The historical evolution of cultures has not been analytical and therefore, the shapes involved di er greatly from the cuboids typically found in 21st century architecture.

Advanced low‐light image transformation for accurate nighttime pavement distress detection

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 28, Page 5307-5324, 28 November 2025.
Abstract Pavement distress detection is critical for road safety and infrastructure longevity. Although nighttime inspections offer advantages such as reduced traffic and enhanced operational efficiency, challenges like low visibility and noise hinder their effectiveness.

Dreamy Dwellings: How the Sleep Environment Affects Sleep Health in Adults—A Narrative Review

Lifestyle Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Sufficient high‐quality, well‐timed sleep is essential to health and physical, cognitive and emotional functions. Historically, environmental factors such as threats from other beings have likely constrained sleep. Newer sources of sleep disruption include modern work schedules, climate change, light pollution and noise pollution.

Impact of final design on daylight provision [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Daylight analysis informs design decisions in architectural spaces, yet materials, colours, and furnishings - often chosen later - can significantly impact indoor daylighting.

Vision at high latitudes: High sensitivity without specific boreal adaptations in photoreception in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2573-2587, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

Turkish D-light : accentuating heritage values with daylight [PDF]

, 2014
Historic buildings have their own cultural identity, which is often related to their aesthetic qualities such as period characteristics (geometry, size, colour, form and shape), materials and construction.

A low‐cost, highly flexible, open‐source setup design with digital LEDs for research on artificial light at night

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1948-1954, September 2025.
Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a global change factor of growing relevance, yet its impact on organisms remains poorly understood. Present studies point to rather negative impacts of ALAN on species and ecosystems. Most research on ALAN uses conventional LED technology without simulating the complex spatial and temporal facets of ALAN ...
