  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Dissertation widmet sich anhand eines kurios anmutenden, aber auf einer Metaebene fruchtbaren Vergleichs von Schutzbauwerken und Fernsehserien historischen und aktuellen Mechanismen menschlichen Denkens und Handelns. Als theoretische Basis dieser Abhandlung fungiert die Heterotopie - ein Konzept des franz{\"o}sischen Philosophen Michel Foucault. Die Heterotopie ist ein inflation{\"a}r gebrauchtes, oft nur oberfl{\"a}chlich betrachtetes Theorem. Das Konzept wird hier nun mit Blick auf das Gesamtwerk Foucaults en d{\´e}tail untersucht sowie um korrelierende Ans{\"a}tze (Aug{\´e}, Lefebvre, Soja ...) erg{\"a}nzt. Aus dieser Betrachtung l{\"a}sst sich ein {\"u}ber Foucault hinausgehender, analytisch nutzbarer Katalog ableiten. Verk{\"u}rzt wird die Heterotopie folgendermaßen bestimmt: Neben der Definition der Heterotopie als Raum des Anderen, als (gesellschaftskritischer) Gegenraum kann sie dem wie auch immer bestimmten Normalraum unterstellt sein. Die Heterotopie ist m{\"o}glicherweise eine bauliche Manifestation schwarz-weißen Denkens, von Ausgrenzung und sichtbarer Unsichtbarkeit, sie wird zur Realisation wie auch immer definierter Ideale oder Stereotypen. Die Heterotopie ist allerdings auch als ein (hybrides) Dazwischen denkbar, welches sich als katalytischer Raum, im dialektischen Sinne als Ort der Synthese {\"a}ußert. Es k{\"o}nnte als Niemandsland oder als Phase (im Leben) charakterisiert werden. Analog zum letzten Beispiel l{\"a}sst sich die Heterotopie als progressiv-seriell beschreiben. Ihre stagnierend bis variierende Serialit{\"a}t kann sich im Betreten identischer R{\"a}ume {\"a}ußern - mal als verl{\"a}sslich oder erm{\"u}dend empfunden. Nicht nur die einem entsprechenden Raum entgegengebrachten Konnotationen sind vielf{\"a}ltig bis ambivalent, die Heterotopie ist neben real-r{\"a}umlicher auch virtueller Fasson: Betonmauer finden bisweilen eine Entsprechung im einfachen Harmoniefernsehen. Einander heterotop gegen{\"u}berstehenden R{\"a}umen wird etwa mit der Figur Walter White in der komplexen Fernsehserie "Breaking Bad" entsprochen - ist er doch hin und her gerissen zwischen seiner biederen, aber geliebten Familie einerseits und der abstoßend gewaltt{\"a}tigen, aber extrovertierende Potentiale bergenden Drogenproduktion andererseits. Die sogenannte Leihk{\"o}rperschaft bzw. die Immersion lassen sich zur Beschreibung verschiedener Heterotopie-Erfahrungen nutzen. Dieses Eintauchen/Betreten wird hier als Rezeptionsph{\"a}nomen zwischen sensomotorischer Illusion und inhaltlich-narrativem Sog, zw. Fixierung des K{\"o}rpers und Einbezug desselbigen definiert. Die beiden Untersuchungsfelder werden jeweils f{\"u}r sich historisch und theoretisch umrissen. Zum noch jungen Feld serieller Theorie/der Definition narrativer Typen (im TV bzw. dem Qualit{\"a}tsfernsehen) wird ein einf{\"u}hrender {\"U}berblick geboten. Die praktischen Arbeiten setzen sich {\"a}sthetisch, narrativ und inhaltlich mit der Heterotopie auseinander: In "Habitat" und "Habitat 2" werden serielle Konzepte audiovisuell (u. a. als Fulldome-Version) erprobt. Dabei wird insbesondere das Heterotope im Konzept "Autor" untersucht - der Autor als distinkte und gleichsam konfliktbehaftete, in zahlreiche Subjekte zerlegte Figur. "Habitat 3" ist ein Publikationskonzept, welches mit etablierten (heterotopen) Strukturen des Sammelbands bricht und zugleich die heterotopen Facetten des fiktionalen Fernsehens simuliert. Band I beinhaltet sowohl den theoretischen Teil der Promotion als auch die Erl{\"a}uterung der praktischen Arbeiten. Band II erm{\"o}glicht einen Einblick in die konzeptionellen Prozesse hinter den drei k{\"u}nstlerischen Projekten.},

  abstract  = {The construction and operation of a sanitary landfill (SLF) in the Philippines presents concerns on the regulation of the activities of the informal sector in the area. In anticipation of these directives, an association of informal waste reclaimers group called Uswag Calajunan Livelihood Association, Inc. (UCLA) was formed in May 2009. One option identified was the waste-to-energy activity through the production of fuel briquettes. With the availability of raw materials in the area, what was lacking then was an appropriate technology that would cater to their needs. This study, therefore, presented the case of UCLA on how socio-economic and technical aspects was integrated for the development and improvement of a briquetting technology needed in the production of quality briquettes as part of their income generating activities. A non-experimental posttest only design was utilized for the collection of descriptive information. Descriptions and discussions were also made on the enhancement of the briquetting machine from the first hand-press molder developed until the finalized design was attained. Results revealed that the improved briquetting technology withstood the wear and tear of operation showing a significant (P<0.01) increase on the production rate (220 pcs/hr; 4 kg/hr) and bulk density (444.83 kg/m3) of briquettes produced. The quality of cylindrical briquettes produced in terms of bulk density, heating value (15.13 MJ/kg), moisture (6.2\%), N and S closely met or has met the requirements of DIN 51731. Based on the operating expenses, the briquettes may be marked-up to Php0.25/pc (USD0.006) or Php15.00/kg (USD0.34) for profit generation. The potential daily earnings of Php130.00 (USD2.95) to Php288.56 (USD6.56) generated in producing briquettes are higher when compared to the majority of waste reclaimers' daily income of Php124.00 (USD2.82). The high positive response (93\%) on the usability of briquettes and the willingness of the respondents (81\%) to buy them when sold in the market indicates its promising potential as fuel in the nearby communities. Results of briquette production citing the case of UCLA could be considered as potential source of income given the social, technical, economic and environmental feasibility of the experiment. This method of utilizing wastes in an urban setting of a developing country with similar socio-economic and physical set-ups may also be recommended for testing or replication.},

  abstract  = {This project proposes and applies a research strategy to understand types of cities using the case study of Bogot{\´a}. This strategy combines a conceptual framework developed around the notion of 'centrality' and 'urban semiotics' as a method of qualitative enquiry in order to comprehend complex spatial arrangements as significant constituents of cultural geographies. In this sense, this study problematizes current tendencies such as spatial fragmentation and challenges the argument that contemporary urban ensembles in Latin America are either homogenized within globalization trends or illegible entities with no structural coherence. Bogot{\´a} is addressed as an instrumental case study to redraw generalizations developed from different methodological frameworks about the configuration process of spatial structures and their significance within the Latin American geography. Thus the study questions how urban centrality has evolved as an essential socio-cultural phenomenon and in this manner decodes the messages transmitted by main spatial arrangements. As a first step, the study discusses the construction of spatial meaning and its structural interpretation. In addition, the concept of centrality is examined in depth and an urban centrality typology is introduced to enable the analysis of spatial structures in socio-cultural terms. These contents are followed by the discussion of the existing approaches to the topic and their limitations. Subsequently, this research reconstructs the configuration of Bogot{\´a}'s spatial structure which is decoded in the last chapter. The study concludes that the highly fragmented and uneven condition of urban space in Latin America can be read. The case study of Bogot{\´a} substantiates that there is a code that paradoxically provides spatial cohesiveness within unstable socio-spatial hierarchies. Such a spatial code is deciphered through the reading of Bogot{\´a}'s spatial structure whose super-centre denotes 'the sacralisation of authoritarianism'. This is a 'structural meaning' related to a specific or intrinsic logic of spatial concentration that is useful for the further discussion of socio-spatial patterns and the meanings of Latin American cities. The concluding remarks integrate the main arguments and outline lines of action in spatial planning processes.},

Zur Verbesserung der {\"U}bertragbarkeit der bestehenden Modelle werden Anpassungen vorgeschlagen. Außerdem wird f{\"u}r jedes Modell eine Bestimmung der einflussreichsten Parameter auf den simulierten Endenergiebedarf mit Hilfe einer Sensitivit{\"a}tsanalyse vorgenommen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass Modelle mit einem hohen Detaillierungsgrad nicht zwangsl{\"a}ufig genauere Ergebnisse f{\"u}r den Endenergiebedarf garantieren. Dennoch wurde festgestellt, dass Modelle mit einem niedrigen Detaillierungsgrad Ergebnisse mit gr{\"o}ßeren Unsicherheiten liefern als Modelle mit einem h{\"o}heren Detaillierungsgrad. Es wurde weiterhin festgestellt, dass die einflussreichsten Parameter zur Bestimmung des Endenergiebedarfs im Wohnungssektor Innenraumtemperatur, Außentemperatur (Gradtagzahl), Bev{\"o}lkerungsentwicklung und Anzahl der Geb{\"a}ude/Wohnungen sind. Auf der Grundlage der Erkenntnisse zur Bewertung bestehender Modelle und der Bestimmung der einflussreichsten Parameter wurde ein optimiertes Prognosemodell (Transferable Residential Energy Model, TREM) entwickelt. Mit dessen Hilfe wurde die Entwicklung des Endenergiebedarfs im deutschen Wohnungssektor sowie in anderen L{\"a}ndern (Vereinigtes K{\"o}nigsreich und Chile) prognostiziert. Diese Ergebnisse wurden anschließend mit statistischen Daten verglichen. Das TREM-Modell bestimmt den Endenergiebedarf auf der Grundlage der wahrscheinlichsten Variationen der einflussreichsten Eingangsparameter mit Hilfe einer Monte-Carlo-Simulation. Im Gegensatz zu bestehenden Modellierungsans{\"a}tzen liefert das Modell damit auch einen Bereich mit Wahrscheinlichkeitsb{\"a}ndern f{\"u}r den zuk{\"u}nftigen Endenergiebedarf. Die Ergebnisse des TREM-Modells zeigen, dass das Modell genauere Ergebnisse liefern kann als derzeitige Modelle mit einem Mittelwert der prozentualen Differenz niedriger als 5\% und einem Korrelationskoeffizienten r h{\"o}her als 0,35 und dar{\"u}ber hinaus dazu geeignet ist, ohne Anpassungen eine Prognose der Entwicklung des zuk{\"u}nftigen Endenergiebedarfs im Wohnungssektor f{\"u}r unterschiedliche L{\"a}nder zu erstellen.},

  abstract  = {The building sector is responsible for a large share of human environmental impacts. Architects and planners are the key players for reducing the environmental impacts of buildings, as they define them to a large extent. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) allows for the holistic environmental analysis of a building. However, it is currently not employed to improve the environmental performance of buildings during the design process, although the potential for optimization is greatest there. One main reason is the lack of an adequate means of applying LCA in the architectural design process. As such, the main objective of this thesis is to develop a method for environmental building design optimization that is applicable in the design process. The key concept proposed in this thesis is to combine LCA with parametric design, because it proved to have a high potential for design optimization. The research approach includes the analysis of the characteristics of LCA for buildings and the architectural design stages to identify the research gap, the establishment of a requirement catalogue, the development of a method based on a digital, parametric model, and an evaluation of the method. An analysis of currently available approaches for LCA of buildings indicates that they are either holistic but very complex or simple but not holistic. Furthermore, none of them provide the opportunity for optimization in the architectural design process, which is the main research gap. The requirements derived from the analysis have been summarized in the form of a catalogue. This catalogue can be used to evaluate both existing approaches and potential methods developed in the future. In this thesis, it served as guideline for the development of the parametric method - Parametric Life Cycle Assessment (PLCA). The unique main feature of PLCA is that embodied and operational environmental impact are calculated together. In combination with the self-contained workflow of the method, this provides the basis for holistic, time-efficient environmental design optimization. The application of PLCA to three examples indicated that all established mandatory requirements are met. In all cases, environmental impact could be significantly reduced. In comparison to conventional approaches, PLCA was shown to be much more time-efficient. PLCA allows architects to focus on their main task of designing the building, and finally makes LCA practically useful as one of several criteria for design optimization. With PLCA, the building design can be time-efficiently optimized from the beginning of the most influential early design stages, which has not been possible until now. PLCA provides a good starting point for further research. In the future, it could be extended by integrating the social and economic aspects of sustainability.},

  abstract  = {The aim of my research is to observe the variance of energy efficiency of a typical multi-story office building under the exposure of different climatic conditions. Energy efficiency requirements in building codes or energy standards are among the most important single measures for buildings' energy efficiency. Therefore, this study can be set up for a better understanding of how energy efficiency of a building changes under the effect of adverse to moderate climatic conditions which possess a mentionable effect on the operation of a building. This thesis is structured in three balanced and conceptual steps. Following the aim of the project, the virtual building model is to be analyzed under the effect of seven distinct climatic conditions namely work environment of New Delhi, Mumbai, Berlin, Lisbon, Copenhagen, Dubai and Montreal. Firstly, the task is to do a complete literature research based on the scope of similar researches and studying the problems in detail along with the theoritical background all the concepts which are implemented to get the numerical results. This chapter also comprises a detailed study of the climatic conditions of the above-mentioned cities. Different climatic traits like temperature variations, count of heating and cooling degree days, relative humidity, temperature range and comfort zonal charts for the specified cities are studied in detail. This study helps to understand the effect of these adverse to moderate climates on the operation of the building. On the second step, the virtual building model is prepared on a software platform named Revit Structures. This virtual building model is not necessarily a complete building, but it has the relevant functionalities of a real building. We perform the energy analysis and the heating and cooling analysis on this virtual building model to study the operational outcome of the building under different climatic conditions in detail. By the end of these above two tasks, two scenarios are observed. On one hand, we have a literature research and on the other hand we have the numerical results. Therefore, finally we present a comparative scenario based on the energy efficient performances of the building under such variant climatic conditions. This is followed by the prediction of thermal comfort level inside the building and it based on Fanger's PMV Model. Understanding the literature and the numerical values in detail helps us to predict the index thermal comfort level inside the building. The conclusion of this master thesis focuses mainly on the scopes of improvement of energy efficiency requirements in energy codes if any, differentiated according to specific locations. The initial aim of my hypothesis which is to study the impacts of climatic variations on the energy efficient performances of a building is fulfilled but as such topics have very deep and broad roots, the scope of further improvements is always predominant.},

  abstract  = {The research examines the system of strategic and territorial planning of St. Petersburg focusing on Lomonosov (Oranienbaum) as its case study. The study provides the analysis of the planning documentation developed for the city in the post-Soviet period. In particular, it elaborates on the currently enforced Strategy of Economic and Social Development of St. Petersburg-2030 (2014) and the City General Plan (2005), discussing the aspects of their development and implementation, as well as complex interrelation. Thereby, peculiarities of the spatial development of the St. Petersburg agglomeration are also investigated, elaborating on the state policy on agglomerations, historic development of St. Petersburg and relations with the Leningrad Region, governance and imbalances of the St. Petersburg spatial development, including proposed development scenarios. Consequently, the study employs a highly indicative case of the Lomonosov town municipal unit aiming to illustrate the practical implementation of administrative, territorial and strategic policies in a given context within a system of the state planning adopted in St. Petersburg, in particular, taking into consideration recently proclaimed necessity for the transition to a polycentric city model following an innovative scenario for the socioeconomic and spatial development. In particular, Lomonosov (Oranienbaum) is explored egarding its current socio-economic situation and development scenarios: industrial site and cultural tourism. The Oranienbaum museum and nature-reserve is also thoroughly assessed with regard to its cultural tourism potential. Finally, the urban environment of Lomonosov (Oranienbaum) is comprehensively scrutinized in terms of its historic development, residential housing typology, UNESCO World Heritage preservation and local urban heritage. In conclusion, the data on Lomonosov present in the St. Petersburg strategic and territorial planning documents is provided.},
