This study contributes to the literature with the proposed facade systems that can adapt to changing environmental conditions, provide flexibility in shape control and simplicity in mechanism design, and improve building performance. Finally, a set of analyses are performed to test and compare the performances of the facade systems based on daylight metrics and indoor glare comfort. Then, the geometric and parametric design principles and the movement capabilities of the proposed facade systems are presented. For this purpose, first, the tessellation method used to generate responsive facades is introduced. This study aims to develop alternative responsive facade systems based on semi-regular and demi-regular tessellations. Responsive facades can reduce building energy consumption and control daylight and natural ventilation to improve user comfort.

We present theory in support of the use of storigami as an educational tool in Indigenous mathematics classrooms, and we provide original examples of the adaptation of origami techniques for representing and engaging with Australian Indigenous art and culture while simultaneously engaging the students mathematically. This paper reviews the connections between origami and mathematics education as well as their use in an Indigenous setting by incorporating Indigenous narrative aspects into the origami art form. Origami, the art of folding paper or other materials, is an ancient art form that has occurred across multiple societies including Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations where the folding of paper or fabrics has presented cultural knowledge from within that society. This paper proposes embracing the Indigenous methodology of narrative and combining it with existing origami narrative methodologies to engage Indigenous students to mathematics principles at many different cognitive stages. How to engage Indigenous students in their education particularly to mathematics is a question being regularly discussed within schools and academic forums. I know, it is not about design or coding, but anyway, it would be a good record for a personal blog.ģd printing. Maybe, I will also publish my studies about him on this website. I believe that if I manage to complete the translation, I would better understand his philosophy of language. This makes me feel a very familiar connection here. I am struggling but doing my best to grasp his ideas. Of course, it is very difficult to understand at the first trial, what those sentences mean. “Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”, Tractatus, 7 “Everything that can be said can be said clearly.”, Tractatus, 4.116 “The world is everything that is the case.”, Tractatus, 1 I just wanted to put some of his words from Tractatus to complement these interesting and random images:

This attempt at more swirly flames inspires me and somehow makes me think of the two philosophies of Wittgenstein. Nowadays, I am translating the lecture of Michael Sugrue, about the second phase of Ludwig Wittgenstein. You can also follow me on my Instagram account here. It is not the visual result only, but the memories it carries until today.

It is still cool for me, personally, although we are in the age of AI-generated images now. Therefore, I had to use other tools such as Color Balance, Hue/Saturation, Inverse, etc. This is a return to the Swirly Flames tutorial I made in 2013 here.
