Show moreThe building systems, envelope performance and building use efficiency of the IIT Tower will be analyzed for evaluation of the current building energy use and occupant comfort levels. Energy modeling tools will be used to demonstrate the achievement of superior building performance and better occupant comfort levels through proposed design interventions. The transformative design will also result in a holistic improvement in building performance.

Show moreThis project is a contemporary revisit of the ideas behind Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian houses. The building consists of three separate dwelling units on the same lot, a variation from the typical Chicago three-flat in that, rather than the three units being stacked one on top of the other, they are ordered linearly one after the other. The primary advantage of this arrangement is that each unit is allowed access to the ground floor, and to one of the three designated courtyard areas.

Show moreWater shortages will be a global problem by the year 2025. With the Great Lakes Basin accounting for 95% of the fresh water in the United States it will soon become our most valuable natural resource. In re-defining urban relationships to the Great Lakes a healthy, ecologically stable, and regenerative water system can become our greatest national asset. Providing a prototype solution for one of these urban areas (Traverse City, MI) may set a precedent for long term protection of the Great Lakes.

Show moreMy project is an urban redevelopment following catastrophe. A catastrophic explosion in 2010 left a portion of Nanjing city destroyed. The project proposes a new urban plan to rebuild the neighborhood and restore the community. A powerful explosion at an abandoned plastics factory in Qixia district of Nanjing city has left several people dead and dozens injured. Buildings and vehicles within 100m of the factory destroyed, 3000 citizen got the key of the street and buildings suffered varying degrees of damage in the area 8 miles in circumference. The blast was caused by a leak from a gas pipeline inside the factory, the blast happened after workers dismantling the plant damaged a propylene pipeline. The leaked gas was then ignited when a car engine was started at the scene. There were a community college and several kindergartens in this area, fortunately, it was summer break at that time, no students hurt reported. It is a unique opportunity to develop a plan in an urban context when the prior years of development have been wiped away. The purpose of the project is giving condos return to 3000 people who lost their houses in the explosion and planing mix-used buildings of the community for next 20 years. At present, many old nerghbourhoods in China are being replaced by new ones. In the most cases, the existing urban patternes are erased and a town is built with out any links to what had previouly existed there. My ptoposal is reusing most of the existing tree line streets, river and bridges. The key of this proposal is sustainability, first idea is using existing river to develop a nice wetland park and the second idea is farming gradens.

Show moreTHE FAÇADE HAS THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL WHEN TRYING TO OPTIMIZE THE ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF A BUILDING. THE MAIN GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO INVESTIGATE WHAT IS THE VALUE OF FACADE RETROFIT AND STUDY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERFORMANCE, WEIGHT, EMBODIED ENERGY, ASSEMBLY EFFORT, COST AND POTENTIAL SAVINGS. 4 DIFFERENT FACADE SYSTEMS ARE ANALYZED AND COMPARED IN THE CONTEXT OF AN EXISTING BUILDING. ONE OF THE SYSTEMS IS CURRENTLY INSTALLED AND HAS BEEN RECENTLY RETROFITTED, WHILE THE OTHER THREE ARE DESIGN PROPOSALS WHICH FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS: PERFORMANCE AND DAYLIGHT, MINIMAL STRUCTURE AND ADAPTABILITY.

Furthermore, the Outer Banks have seen a drop in tourism over the past few seasons. With a research and education center, regional alternatives to environmentally costly drilling can be developed, while culturally providing a destination that celebrates and elucidates the fragility and splendor of the OBX.

Show moreAnalyzing free-form natural language expressions “in the network”—that is, on programmable switches and smart NICs—would enable packet-handling decisions that are based on the textual content of flows. This analysis would support richer, latency-critical data services that depend on language analysis—such as emergency response, misinformation classification, customer support, and query-answering applications. But packet forwarding and processing decisions usually rely on simple analyses based on table look-ups that are keyed on well-defined (and usually fixed size) header fields. P4 is the state of the art domain-specific language for programming network equipment, but, to the best of our knowledge, analyzing free-form text using P4 has not yet been investigated. Although there is an increasing variety of P4-programmable commodity network hardware available, using P4 presents considerable technical challenges for text analysis since the language lacks loops and fractional datatypes. This paper presents the first Bayesian spam classifier written in P4 and evaluates it using a standard dataset. The paper contributes techniques for the tokenization, analysis, and classification of free-form text using P4, and investigates trade-offs between classification accuracy and resource usage. It shows how classification accuracy can be tuned between 69.1% and 90.4%, and how resource usage can be reduced to 6% by trading-off accuracy. It uses the spam filtering use-case to motivate the need for more research into in network text analysis to enable future “semantic analysis” applications in programmable networks.
