A Milan-based family created the chalet of their dreams, with an emphasis on local architecture and minimalist interiors. We ...

Architects also praise rammed earth’s high thermal mass—insulative properties that regulate a building’s indoor temperature.

A single drone strike has reopened global anxieties tied to one of history’s most dangerous nuclear sites. On February 14, 2025, a Geran-2–type drone struck the massive structure sealing Chernobyl’s ...

Turtle shells evolved over the course of 300 million years, but self-defense wasn't the initial driver, researchers think.

I first met Frank O. Gehry, who died Dec. 5 at his California home, in November of 1982 when I was an undergraduate architecture student at the University of Virginia. He was known at the time for his ...

Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, ...

While his forms could seem casual and arbitrary, Frank Gehry was an amazing planner who always produced buildings that were ...

Abstract: To enable highly automated vehicles where the driver is no longer a safety backup, the vehicle must deal with various Functional Insufficiencies (FIs). Thus-far, there is no widely accepted ...

Abstract: Navigation in complex 3-D scenarios requires appropriate environment representation for efficient scene understanding and trajectory generation. We propose a highly efficient and extensible ...

Explore the shift from building new to repurposing existing structures, fostering community and preserving architectural ...

A new NURBS-based algorithm is revolutionizing gridshell design by enabling faster, smoother, and more flexible shape-finding ...
