Urban Crematoria: Reinventing the Architecture of Death

Thesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2016-04

Oase: Tijdschrift voor Architectuur = Oase: Architecture Journal

In recent years, both architectural historiography and architectural design practice have been characterized by significant shifts. These new perspectives and methodologies did not merely bring about internal changes, but also called into question the boundaries and relations between the two disciplines. This issue of OASE investigates the impact of these changes for both disciplines in a series of dialogues between historians, architects, designers and photographers, exploring themes such as the everyday, the landscape, heritage and visual culture.

Portable architecture

What is the architecture of transience? What role does architecture play in the impermanent context of the nomad? What form does architecture take when our perception of shelter transforms from fixed and static to flexible and transportable? How does architecture react to the challenges of mobility and change? Traditional building forms speak of stability as an important aspect of architecture. Does portability imply a different building form? During the1950s Buckminister Fuller introduced the idea of mobile, portable structures. In the 1960s Archigrams' examples of architectural nomadism made the mobile home an accepted feature of our contemporary landscape. Currently, new materials and new methods of assembly and transportation open opportunities for rethinking portable architecture. For this thesis, a shelter was developed which provides inhabitable space and portability. The shelter was designed to be easily carried as a backpack. With minimum human effort, the structure is assembled and erected in a few minutes. Although this portable shelter needs to be maneuvered, folded and tucked away for transportation, it does meet the demands of nomadic behavior which emphasizes comfort and portability.

Wind Resource Mapping Using Landscape Roughness and Spatial Interpolation Methods

Energy saving, reduction of greenhouse gasses and increased use of renewables are key policies to achieve the European 2020 targets. In particular, distributed renewable energy sources, integrated with spatial planning, require novel methods to optimise supply and demand. In contrast with large scale wind turbines, small and medium wind turbines (SMWTs) have a less extensive impact on the use of space and the power system, nevertheless, a significant spatial footprint is still present and the need for good spatial planning is a necessity. To optimise the location of SMWTs, detailed knowledge of the spatial distribution of the average wind speed is essential, hence, in this article, wind measurements and roughness maps were used to create a reliable annual mean wind speed map of Flanders at 10 m above the Earth’s surface. Via roughness transformation, the surface wind speed measurements were converted into meso- and macroscale wind data. The data were further processed by using seven different spatial interpolation methods in order to develop regional wind resource maps. Based on statistical analysis, it was found that the transformation into mesoscale wind, in combination with Simple Kriging, was the most adequate method to create reliable maps for decision-making on optimal production sites for SMWTs in Flanders (Belgium).
