The origins of the Modern movement in architecture are generally traced to the late
nineteenth century, and despite reaching its pinnacle in the first half of the twentieth century …

Prospect-Refuge theory argues that human environmental preferences are attuned to
seeking spaces that offer a balance of outlook and enclosure. The first and best-known …

In the past, a range of computational models have been developed for analysing the social
implications of spatial patterns and types. While such models are typically focussed on …

Critical components of mobile mining machinery, such as brake and lubrication, are typically
powered by compressed air. The compressed air system is subject to leaks in either …

This paper employs machine learning and space syntax to classify villages, revealing
implicit formation and development patterns in their spatial layouts. The study addresses …

The aim of manifold learning is to extract low-dimensional manifolds from high-dimensional
data. Manifold alignment is a variant of manifold learning that uses two or more datasets that …

The ability of an autonomous agent to self-localise within its environment is critically
dependent on its ability to make accurate observations of static, salient features. This notion …

Extreme climate events require people to rapidly navigate dynamically changing
environments. Wildfires and floods alter the landscape, blocking roads, destroying …

This chapter introduces an important concept in architectural analysis, the isovist. Along with
two associated concepts–the isovist field and the visibility graph–the isovist provides a …

This paper proposes a computer-aided Dynamic Visual Research and Design Protocol for
environmental designers to analyze humans' dynamic visual experiences in the city and to …
