    One of the major problems in the auralization of complex urban scenarios is the creation of ambience, i.e. the diffuse background which represents the sound floor on which the acoustic scene of interest is created. Omitting ...
  • Listen and be the space: exploring space, word, and music in architecture and architectural discourse 

    Gomes, Renata (2024-06-25)
    Article
    Open Access
    La arquitectura contemporánea y su discurso reflejan el espíritu de la actual mentalidad occidental, pero carecen de armonía con la esencia humana. Este artículo busca contribuir a actualizar este desajuste, centrándose ...

    This dataset presents 9596 photos of the East and West façades of a university building in Barcelona (Spain). Images were taken every hour for one year with two identical GoPro Hero 10 cameras. The façades are composed of ...
  • Machine-learning to analyze human-building interactions: how do people use mobile solar protections? 

    Roca Musach, Marc; Serra Coch, Glòria; Crespo Cabillo, Isabel; Coch Roura, Helena (Elsevier, 2024-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    Buildings significantly impact urban energy consumption. Mobile passive solutions, such as manual solar protections, can mitigate heat gains, but their effectiveness depends on occupants’ decisions. Analyzing occupant ...

    Building and room acoustics are relatively modern architectural and engineering disciplines. Nevertheless, acoustics was also a concern for buildings in the past, e.g., in theatres in ancient Greece and in Roman times. ...
  • Relating 2D isovists to audiovisual assessments of two urban spaces in a neighbourhood 

    Llorca Bofí, Josep; Heck, Jonas; Vorländer, Michael (De Gruyter, 2024-09-18)
    Article
    Open Access
    In the field of urban design assessment, increasing attention to the nonexpert verbalizations is paid to engage social participation in planning processes, especially those not limited to static visual renderings. However, ...
  • A historical and geometrical analysis of the Sansalvador villa by SfM-MVS photogrammetry
