Since we missed a system that allows to experiment with optimization techniques for the synthesis of spatial configurations, we developed a collection of methods over the past years. This collection is now combined in the presented open source library for computational planning synthesis, called CPlan. The aim of the library is to provide an easy to use programming framework with a flat learning curve for people with basic programming knowledge. It offers an extensible structure that allows to add new customized parts for various purposes.

Hence, tropical reefs symbolically stand for the destructive effects of human activities on nature [4], [5]. Artificial reefs are excellent examples of how architectural design can be combined with ecosystem regeneration [6], [7], [8]. However, to work at the interface between the artificial and the complex and temporal nature of natural systems presents a challenge, i.a. in respect to the B-rep modelling legacy of computational modelling. The presented doctorate investigates strategies on how to apply digital practice to realise what is an essential bulwark to retain reefs in impossibly challenging times. Beyond the main question of integrating computational modelling and high precision monitoring strategies in artificial coral reef design, this doctorate explores techniques, methods, and linking frameworks to support future research and practice in ecology led design contexts. Considering the many existing approaches for artificial coral reefs design, one finds they often fall short in precisely understanding the relationships between architectural and ecological aspects (e.g. how a surface design and material composition can foster coral larvae settlement, or structural three-dimensionality enhance biodiversity) and lack an integrated underwater (UW) monitoring process. Such a process is necessary in order to gather knowledge about the ecosystem and make it available for design, and to learn whether artificial structures contribute to reef regeneration or rather harm the coral reef ecosystem. For the research, empirical experimental methods were applied: Algorithmic coral reef design, high precision UW monitoring, computational modelling and simulation, and validated through parallel real-world physical experimentation - two Artificial Reef Prototypes (ARPs) in Gili Trawangan, Indonesia (2012-today). Multiple discrete methods and sub techniques were developed in seventeen computational experiments and applied in a way in which many are cross valid and integrated in an overall framework that is offered as a significant contribution to the field. Other main contributions include the Ecosystem-aware design approach, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for coral reef design, algorithmic design and fabrication of Biorock cathodes, new high precision UW monitoring strategies, long-term real-world constructed experiments, new digital analysis methods and two new front-end web-based tools for reef design and monitoring reefs. The methodological framework is a finding of the research that has many technical components that were tested and combined in this way for the very first time. In summary, the thesis responds to the urgency and relevance in preserving marine species in tropical reefs during this massive extinction period by offering a differentiated approach towards artificial coral reefs - demonstrating the feasibility of digitally designing such 'living architecture' according to multiple context and performance parameters. It also provides an in-depth critical discussion of computational design and architecture in the context of ecosystem regeneration and Planetary Thinking. In that respect, the thesis functions as both theoretical and practical background for computational design, ecology and marine conservation - not only to foster the design of artificial coral reefs technically but also to provide essential criteria and techniques for conceiving them.

Dissent and conflict among heritage communities represent productive moments in the negotiation of these varying constructs of the past, identities, and heritage. At the same time, they lead to omissions, the overwriting and amendment of existing constructs. A closer look at all that is suppressed, excluded or rejected opens up new perspectives: It reveals how social groups are formed through public disputes upon the material foundations of heritage constructs. Taking the concept of censorship, the volume engages with the exclusionary and inclusionary mechanisms that underlie the construction of heritage and thus social identities. Censorship is understood here as a discursive strategy in public debates. In current debates, allegations of censorship surface primarily in cases where the handling of a certain heritage constructs is subjected to critical evaluation, or on the contrary, needs to be protected from criticism or even destruction. The authors trace the connection between heritage and identity and show that identity constructs are not only manifested within heritage but are actively negotiated through it.}, subject = {Kulturerbe}, language = {en} } @article{HijaziKoenigSchneideretal., author = {Hijazi, Ihab Hamzi and K{\"o}nig, Reinhard and Schneider, Sven and Li, Xin and Bielik, Martin and Schmitt, Gerhard and Donath, Dirk}, title = {Geostatistical Analysis for the Study of Relationships between the Emotional Responses of Urban Walkers to Urban Spaces}, series = {International Journal of E-Planning Research}, journal = {International Journal of E-Planning Research}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2602}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20160622-26025}, pages = {1 -- 19}, abstract = {The described study aims to find correlations between urban spatial configurations and human emotions.

Doch tats{\"a}chlich finden wir hier - mit Adalbert Stifters "Nachsommer" von 1857 - die wohl fr{\"u}heste Formulierung einer Urh{\"u}tte der Moderne. Stifter (1805-1867), der Nationalheilige der {\"o}sterreichischen Literatur, beschreibt in seiner Erz{\"a}hlung auf das ausf{\"u}hrlichste und umf{\"a}nglichste das sogenannte Rosenhaus. Vor allem die Architekten der traditionellen Richtung waren immer wieder fasziniert von diesen Beschreibungen und ließen sich von Stifter auf die vielf{\"a}ltigsten Weisen anregen. Die Ausf{\"u}hrungen des Hausherren des Rosenhofes {\"u}ber die Produkte seiner Werkst{\"a}tten und die Schilderungen des einfachen Lebens in den R{\"a}umen des Rosenhauses fanden einen immensen Widerhall bei den Baumeistern der fr{\"u}hen Werkbundbewegung, ebenso wie bei den Architekten aus dem Umfeld der Stuttgarter Schule. So lassen sich nachsommerliche Impulse in Leben, Werk und Lehre der traditionellen Architekten Paul Schultze-Naumburg, Theodor Fischer und Paul Schmitthenner entdecken, aber auch bei Vertretern einer dezidierten Moderne wie Erich Mendelsohn, Bruno Taut oder Walter Gropius. So kann gezeigt werden, dass Schultze-Naumburgs privates Anwesen im sachsen-anhaltinischen Saaleck eine vollst{\"a}ndige Realisierung des Rosenhauses und der damit verbundenen Lehrwerkst{\"a}ttenidee darstellt. Und am Beispiel von Paul Schmitthenner und Theodor Fischer kann auf eindrucksvolle Weise nachvollzogen werden, wie Stifters "Gesetzbuch des sch{\"o}nen Lebens" Werk, Lehre und Alltag eines Architekten bestimmen konnte. F{\"u}r Friedrich Nietzsche, der den "Nachsommer" unter die wenigen Werke deutscher Literatur nach Goethe einordnete, die es verdienten, "wieder und wieder gelesen zu werden", stellte der "Roman der heilen Welt" die Vorwegnahme seines Diktums dar, dass das Dasein nur als ein {\"A}sthetisches zu rechtfertigen sei. Das Rosenhaus, und dessen ethisches sowie {\"a}sthetisches Ideal, bildete die dazu entsprechende r{\"a}umliche Form. Der "Nachsommer" ist, mit Roland Barthes gesprochen, eine Utopie - genauer: eine h{\"a}usliche Utopie - "die gestaltende Suche nach dem h{\"o}chsten Gut, was das Wohnen angeht." Dabei sind die selbstgew{\"a}hlten, {\"a}sthetischen Verhaltensweisen, die Stifter damals - am Beginn der Moderne - begr{\"u}ndete, bis heute Merkmal der Formen des B{\"u}rgerlichen und sein Rosenhaus das Modell einer modernen, b{\"u}rgerlich-traditionellen Architektur. F{\"u}r beides, f{\"u}r die {\"A}sthetik des Lebens wie auch f{\"u}r die entsprechende Architektur, diente Goethe oder besser die Beschreibung Goethes durch seinen Sekret{\"a}r Eckermann als Vorbild.}, subject = {Stifter}, language = {de} }
