Full textThe building is searching for the site’s existing landscape with it’s forests and an existing hidden glade that becomes the core of the project. The school is a place which is meant to be discovered step by step, in order to increase the creativity. And it acts like a heart, where the circle becomes a symbol for interaction and movement through the parts of the programme and the surroundings. The building has its heart where the existing glade exists.There are the smaller children, the kindergarden and the dining room which are directed outward. A new , bigger glade is built for the children from the upper classes. This acts also as a social act between the society and the school. The big circle activates the place and takes the children through all parts of the program. There will be an challenging investigation to move from the classrooms to the dining room and then to the school garden or the workshops. The classrooms take an articulated form that also encourages the idea of that everyone should find her/his own place and provides a place for everyone. The workshops which are located on the ground floor open up to room where they can extend to the exterior and where the children can work and have acces to the outside and where they can be seen and appreciated.

This thesis addresses the published writing, lectures and interviews of Louis I. Kahn between 1931 and 1974. It attempts to map the elaboration and unfolding of meaning that occur in four of his major concepts: Form and Design, realization, expression and Silence and Light. His textual production is aimed at trying to understand the nature of architecture and its beginnings. This interest leads him into ever widening fields of inquiry into the nature of nature, the nature of man and the nature of beginnings. Most of his concepts can be reduced to a polarity of the measurable and the unmeasurable. His thinking to has two distinct phases: in the first period, 1931 to 1960, he focuses on the tangible concerns of the nature of architecture; in the second phase, from 1960 to 1974, he investigates its more spiritual aspect. The premise of the thesis is that Kahn's writing is cryptic only insofar as one does not understand his particular meanings and definitions for words. The paper traces the continual transformation of specific concepts and their meaning and shows their remarkable consistency. It also demonstrates how Kahn achieves clarity through a strategy of differentiation. Kahn's underlying motivation is to understand the unmeasurable so that he can embody a sense of the eternal in his architecture.

Full textDans Louis I. Kahn – L'histoire de l'architecture comme médiation, on explore le travail de l'un des architectes le plus actifs du 20e siècle. Il a été reconnu par les intellectuels pour son rôle d'architecte et de penseur moderne, ainsi que pour ses recherches en histoire et ses références aux œuvres historiques importantes. En étudiant Kahn et son éducation, sa formation en architecture, ses écrits, lectures, voyages, contacts personnels, le contexte dans lequel il travaillait, en plus d'examiner ses dessins personnels et deux de ses projets de design, on comprend son approche de l'architecture sous plusieurs angles. En décrivant le contexte dans lequel Kahn a été éduqué et dans lequel il a pratiqué son métier, la thèse traite d'importants aspects de la pensée et pratique architecturale auxquels Kahn a été exposé, dévoilant ainsi les motivations derrière sa quête philosophique unique. En examinant les dessins de Kahn, la manière dont il incarne les sites historiques qu'il a vus durant ses voyages devient apparent. À travers l'étude du matériel d'archives, la trace des références architecturales que Kahn a étudiées devient visible. Ainsi, dans ses dessins et la conception architecturale pour le Dominican Motherhouse de St. Catherine de Ricci, Media, Pennsylvanie (1965-1969, jamais construit) et le Hurva Synagogue dans la vieille ville de Jérusalem (1967-1974, jamais construit), les références poétiques aux œuvres historiques que sont ses projets sont clairement illustrées, tout en soulignant des concepts herméneutiques et phénoménologiques en relation avec la perception, la mémoire et la compréhension du passé. Par conséquent, à travers Kahn, cette thèse examinera le débat contextuel concernant l'usage de références historiques dans l'architecture moderne du 18ième siècle jusqu'au postmodernisme, et abordera l'importance de la continuité des références dans l'âge de fragmentation. Louis I. Kahn – L'histoire de l'architecture comme moyen de médiation dévoilera le complexe potentiel dans l'étude de la tradition et l'histoire de l'architecture moderne. Elle éclairera les efforts acceptables dans la pensée et la pratique de l'architecture qui intègrent des références historiques et promeuvent l'authenticité et le progrès – deux éléments fondamentaux de l'expression architecturale poétique et innovatrice.

Full textSynchronous languages are used to program critical reactive systems. Today, systems require to find a way to execute them safely and in parallel. Parallelism has always been part of synchronous langages, but for modeling purpose. Their formal semantics allow to distribute them, but preserving the semantics may be ressource costly and prevent good parallel execution.The Kahn networks model is of great interest. It models distributed computers, communicating through unbounded FIFOs, ensuring that the computed values are deterministic, without any need of added synchronization.We develop the langage Heptagon, a first order functional synchronous son of Lustre.The compiler is an academic prototype of the industrial tool Scade. Thanks to its Kahn semantics, it can be distributed. In order to be efficient, one need to maximize the decoupling of computations and maximize the computation granularity. However, synchronous langages allow for very tight computation coupling and usually require thin computation granularity to ensure reactivity of the system.We opt for two research directions. The first one is to give the control of the execution parallelism to the programer. To this mean, we add futures to the source langage Heptagon. They provide control over starting and end of parallel computations, while preserving the functional semantics. Moreover, we provide a compilation for embedded systems, using statically allocated memory. The second one is to study Kahn synchronous semantics to understand data dependencies and maximize granularity of the computations. This touches deeply to the synchronous languages, mixing the usually separated questions of causality and clock calculus. We define the class of reactive ordered Kahn networks. They are the one which may be modularly compiled and whose behavior may be expressed with a clock signature. Moreover, we show that their is a normal form for this signature, maximizing the granularity of the network. To express it, we extend clocks to integer clocks. Then we come back to the synchronous languages we know to understand how to use it. The result is fully used and explained on Lucy-n, the synchronous language closest to Kahn networks

Full textThis dissertation approaches the view of history embedded in the method of future speculation and planning set out in the book The year 2000, written in 1967, by Herman Kahn and Anthony J. Wiener. This work consists in investigating the ideas and concepts in the method, as well as in overall results of future speculation and planning, in order to expose the influences of other authors, ideas and concepts and the various contexts articulated in the book. We here try to show how the futurist thinking of Kahn and Wiener understood history, namely, a view of progress however no longer linear or a product of a reason inherent to man, but a progress achieved every moment by human effort in planning the future. Thus, history appears as a macro-historical development that explains past developments and future possibilities, and also as a set of heuristic examples to consider how future possibilities can manifest factually. The research concludes that futurist thinking is a valuable study object to historians for its appropriation of history, for its importance as a historical phenomenon and for its significance as part of the contemporary life.

The Aga Khan Award for Architecture (AKAA) is an architectural award instituted by His Highness Karim Aga Khan to recognize the achievements of architects, planners, and community organizations that have contributed to architecture in the Muslim world. The scope of the AKAA enterprise is vast and informed by a vision that builds on establishing a critical foundation for the project of rethinking architecture for Muslim societies. That vision began with a challenge set by His Highness which simply asked, "What is the physical environment that Muslims should seek for themselves and for future generations in their homelands?" This question set into motion a diverse set of activities under the aegis of the Award, one of which was the establishment of a forum for debate, the AKAA seminars, to struggle with the intellectual groundwork needed to confront the challenges of the built environment in Muslim societies. Through a critical review and analysis of the issues raised within these seminars, this thesis examines the intellectual concerns of the AKAA and attempts to show how the formulation of these concerns have evolved over the last two decades. The results of this study show that in attempting to become a voice for issues revolving around the built environment of Muslim societies, the AKAA has generated a mediating discourse that integrates the rich architectural heritage of the Islamic world with the technological advances of modernity. However, as a strategy to deal with the impact of modernity within the Muslim world, the intellectual debate stops short of challenging the social and ideological structures within Muslim societies itself that have contributed to problems related to modernization and its impact on the built environment.

Full textThe present dissertation is as an analytical study about the work of architect Louis I. Kahn, focusing on its spatial quality, as funded in the interaction between space and people in motion. Three buildings were selected as case studies in order to capture the evolutionary synthesis of space conception happened during Kahn’s career. Each building was submitted to an empirical scrutiny based upon the spatial experience of a moving observer, using a set of tools named as the “method of the observer”. The buildings investigated are put in relation with other Kahn’s buildings, so allowing the development of an analytical discourse embracing since his first works, in the 1930’s, until his death, in 1974. The analysis registers the performance of the buildings in terms of their legibility and their functionality, both understood as qualities inherent to space and the way they shape the user’s experience, so relating them to the building’s spatial conception. The dissertation intends to enlarge the understanding of the findings by considering the evolution of Kahn’s theoretical work, so bringing cause-effect connections between theory and the registered phenomena in the concrete reality of buildings. Eventually, this study aims to enlarge the understanding of the link between Kahn’s work and the architectural environment of the time, so exploring the influences he received and contributions he gave, especially concerning the evolution of modern architecture.
Lê, Nhat Minh. "Kahn process networks as concurrent data structures : lock freedom, parallelism, relaxation in shared memory." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PSLEE051/document.
Full textIn this thesis, we are interested in Kahn process networks, a simple yet expressive model of concurrency, and its parallel implementation on modern shared-memory architectures. Kahn process networks expose concurrency to the programmer through an arrangement of sequential processes and single-producer single-consumer channels. The focus is on the implementation aspects. Of particular importance to our study are two parameters: lock freedom and relaxed memory. The development of fast andefficient lock-free algorithms ties into concerns of controlled resource consumption and reliable performance on current and future platforms with unfair or skewed scheduling such as virtual machines and GPUs. Our work with relaxed memory models complements this more theoretical approach by offering a window into realistic sharedmemory architectures. We present a new lock-free algorithm for a Kahn process network interpreter. It is disjoint-access parallel: we allow multiple threads to work on the same shared Kahn process network, fully utilizing the parallelism exhibited by independent processes. It is nonblockingin that it guarantees global progress in bounded memory, even in the presence of (possibly infinite) delays affecting the executing threads. To our knowledge, it is the first lock-free system of this size, and integrates various well-known non-blocking techniques and concepts (e.g., safe memory reclamation, multi-word updates, assistance) with ideas and optimizations specific to the Kahn network setting. We also discuss a variant of the algorithm, which is blocking and targeted at high-performance computing, with encouraging experimental results

Full textThis thesis studies the successive positions of Kahn with regard to the question of structure. It is an analysis of what appears as a true work of investigation, developped over thirty years of pratice and experience (1944-1974). Documents that allow to grasp Kahn's implications in contemporary debates and his attitude toward history, his working drawings, study models and buildings are examined as testimonies of a work of architecture as well as of an intellectual undertaking. Centered on the comparative analysis of designs and of variants or variations of their themes, the research aims to demonstrate how the theoretical approach shifts and is enriched by continuous exchange with engineers and collaborators. Louis I. Kahn's working practice, studied under the light of the question of structure, reveals in this way the intellectual process of the architect

Psychoanalysis can illuminate the dialectic established between tangible works and the subjective sources, trajectories of Lois Kahn and Le Corbusier (1901-1974, 1887-1965) illustrate this thesis. The study of primordial periods and those of entry into architecture draw the contours of the singularity of the subject as architect. As divided he is the place of manifestations of the unconscious noticeable in his essential writings and during his initiatory journeys. With psychoanalysis are indicated some indices of psychological traits. They influence architectural works and allow situating L. Kahn in the field of neurosis - and Le Corbusier in psychosis. The analysis of their projects is showing in Kahn architecture the insistence of two signifiers - the light and the mass - and in the one of Le Corbusier the images of geometric volumes, identifiable since their childhoods. Kahn’s praxis originates a fantasy - [dollar sign]<˃a - where the object a combines the light and the mass. Le Corbusier, meanwhile, submits a heavy scopic drive feels architecture as “game […] of volumes brought together under light. ” The architecture of Louis Kahn combines its own cause’s objects of desire with others found in the Other. The use going on before aesthetics. Le Corbusier develops universals objects, mortified, he calls “standarts”. They must satisfied an imagined man, sensitive to universal scopic enjoyment created by assembling of objects he hold “in is pocket”

Kahn's genre of travel sketches offers us a visual basis to map his philosophical meandering. This thesis addresses the sketches produced from Kahn's voyages around the Mediterranean in 1950-51 and 1959 with an aim to understanding the premises that underlie them. During the trips, Kahn conjectured in his graphic oeuvre a dialogical method with the built forms of antiquity. On the one hand, he sought answers to his architectural and epistemological questions to these buildings; at another level, he re-contextualized the buildings in an imagined landscape that would in tum inform his imperatives. The sketches also permit an interesting theoretical commentary as they parallel Kahn's emergence into active architectural career in the fifties. At first encounter, some of them seem to be perplexing, but once extended into the context in which Kahn operated, they reveal an interwoven terrain of concepts that would continuously flower. There is no doubt that in his travel sketches Kahn was fighting a protracted battle about his architecture and that he benefited from the buildings of the past--but mostly at an epistemological level. Kahn raised questions on architecture that could have not been addressed by a formal retrieval of history. In that sense Kahn's travel sketches reappraise and re-propose the lessons of history.

Full textOs modelos dos edifícios funcionais do princípio do século XX fundem-se e moldam-se num cruzamento inter-atlântico de influências tecnológicas. De facto, os sistemas de construção em betão armado, com todas as variáveis de experimentação científica, contribuíram para uma estandardização da indústria da construção bem como das práticas profissionais a ela associadas, originando uma corrente de proto-modernidade essencial à formação do espírito moderno. As obras funcionalistas dos primeiros quinze anos do século XX resumem em si práticas profissionais que mais tarde serão negadas pelos mestres do modernismo enquanto parte dos processos da construção moderna, mas cujo “estilo” resultante é por estes celebrado. Constituem-se essencialmente de edifícios fábrica, construídos em betão armado, conjugando níveis de performance e de operacionalidade que resumem a função última a que se destinam. A prática do arquitecto moderno europeu, oferecendo resistências a uma total modernidade consagrada em teoria, permitiu a sobrevivência da arquitectura enquanto prática artística, face a um outro lado da profissão, de carácter mais pragmático e assente no princípio do corporativismo liberal.
Models of functional buildings at the beginning of the 20th Century were embedded and moulded in the inter-Atlantic blending of technological influences. In fact, building systems in reinforced concrete, with all their variables in scientific experiments, helped towards standardizing the building industry as well as the way in which professional activity was undertaken. They thus gave rise to a protomodernity current that was essential in shaping the modern spirit. The functionalist buildings appearing in the first fifteen years of the 20th Century are a testimony of the kind of professional practices that would later be condemned by the masters of modernism, for the part these edifices played in modern building processes, but whose resulting “style” would nevertheless be celebrated by the European masters. They mostly came in the form of factory buildings in reinforced concrete, conjugating levels of performance and operativeness that sought to satisfy the main aim for which they had been built. By offering resistance to the Modernity consecrated in theory, the practice of the modern European architect allowed architecture to survive as an artistic practice, as opposed to a more pragmatic nature of the North American architect.

We explain the transfer from the Musée Social or Paris to the U.S..We take into account the networking between French and American historians, geographers, economists, sociologists andother university scholars. We analyze exchange students, including those from programs created by James Hyde and AlbertKahn, with a particular emphasis on Harvard University. France is determined to attract foreign students at the expense ofGermany where the majority of the best American scholars were trained. Therefore, by way of an intellectual biography of JeanJules Jusserand, French ambassador to the U.S. for 22 years, we study the war of influence on American soil between Frenchand German intellectuals, before and during World War I

Full textIn this thesis, we are interested in models and languages to program stream processing applications with real-time constraints, such as multimedia applications. They manipulate infinite data flows, on which they apply successive operations. These systems can be represented by Kahn Process Networks. In this model, computation nodes are executed concurrently and communicate through unbounded buffers. It has the advantage of being deterministic and yet allowing to express the intrinsic parallelism of applications. Nevertheless, it does not guarantee that the system is deadlock free and that it can be executed with bounded memory. Dataflow Synchronous Languages are a simple framework to program Kahn Process Networks without buffers. They offer strong guarantees on memory bounds and absence of deadlocks. The downside of these guarantees is a lack of flexibility in the composition of flows: communication must be done synchronously, that is without buffers. The n-synchronous model is an extension of the synchronous model that relaxes the synchronous constraint in a controlled way. It allows a more flexible composition while preserving static guarantees given by synchronous languages. We present a n-synchronous language and we focus on the analysis which statically checks that a program can be executed with bounded buffers and automatically computes those sizes

Full textLa emergencia de los fenómenos complejos en nuestro tiempo ha obligado a los creadores a reconectar conocimientos en el diseño, ya que, actualmente, muchos presentan una inercia fragmentaria e hiperespecializada. En razón a esto, en la arquitectura se ha despertado hoy día el interés por las figuras históricas ocultas o poco conocidas, próximas a la ciencia y a la tecnología, que por años buscaron respuestas de diseño en la interconexión de distintas dimensiones de lo real, especialmente en conexión con modelos de sistemas generativos. Esta condición o problemática en el quehacer investigativo nos permite aproximarnos a temas más generales en torno a la forma en que el hombre entra en contacto con las ideas y cómo las materializa. En este caso, el interés específico radica en cómo sucede esto en la arquitectura del noreste norteamericano, más exactamente en las derivaciones norteamericanas de las teorías europeas, alrededor de la mitad del siglo XX; esto es, el momento en el cual sobrevino un tráfico de figuras de la ciencia y la tecnología entre Europa y Norteamérica, que nutrió la arquitectura. De manera puntual, este documento se interesa en la figura de la arquitecta Tyng quien mantuvo una fuerte relación profesional y personal con Kahn, una de las figuras más notables de la arquitectura del siglo XX. De esta manera, la inquietud inicial fue: ¿Cómo reconectó ella conocimientos y cómo materializó su obra seminal entre 1951 y 1953? Luego, el objetivo de esta tesis es descifrar el conjunto de normas y reglas que conforman el mundo teórico práctico de Tyng ¿a través de la exégesis de su obra seminal entre 1951 y 1953¿ y su especial relación con Kahn. La respuesta a esta pregunta de investigación fue construida a partir de una visión cualitativa descriptiva-critica, en la que primaron las inferencias inductivas, la abducción y el empirismo metodológico. La descripción física fue privilegiada en este documento, gracias a su existencia en el presente, lo que permitió enfrentar la teoría y el fenómeno manifiesto, así como su comprensión y la de sus leyes internas. Aunado a lo anterior, es importante resaltar que esta tesis abordó un enfoque distinto al habitual y a la vez abrió un espacio de experimentación historiográfica en el que las hipótesis de esas grandes historias fueron puestas a prueba. Los resultados del estudio indicaron cómo el ideal de progreso, unido a la ciencia y a la tecnología en los Estados Unidos de mediados del siglo XX, alimentaron un tráfico de ideas entre el mundo profesional y educativo. Este generó un reajuste en los modelos arquitectónicos reductivos y totalizantes, dominantes en ese tiempo, hecho que dirigió a Tyng en el proceso de articular los conocimientos fragmentados en disciplinas o campos de saber hacia modelos reflexivos interdisciplinarios y transdisciplinarios cercanos a los sistemas generativos. A saber, la ayudó en su búsqueda de las estructuras del mañana. En conclusión, este proceso contribuyó en la construcción de un camino crítico nuevo para la arquitectura y aportó pruebas para reacomodar la historia de Kahn, una de las grandes figuras de la arquitectura. Así mismo, nos mostró las bases de las visionarias teorías de Tyng, lo que representa un acervo invaluable para las investigaciones interesadas por la afinidad al número y por su similitud con las lógicas de diseño asistido por ordenador o por su semejanza con el diseño, cercano al paradigma científico o al pensamiento complejo.

Full textLa variabilidad morfológica de los caracteres vegetativos y la estructura de las poblaciones de Astrocaryum perangustatum (ARECACEAE) fue evaluada en una población de esta especie, que ocupa las zonas deforestadas (pastizales) y no deforestadas (zonas de bosque) de Pozuzo (Pasco, Perú). Para estudiar la variabilidad morfológica de las plántulas y los adultos, fueron medidos 105 plántulas (56 en pastizales y 49 en zonas de bosque, en las cuales se evaluó el número de hojas por plántula y largo del limbo y peciolo) y 60 adultos (30 en pastizales y 30 en zonas de bosque a las cuales se les midió el tamaño del tallo, número de frondas y largo de la fronda, pecíolo, raquis, ancho y largo de los foliolos y el tamaño de las aguijones) que se encontraron en las parcelas. A fin de conocer la estructura de las poblaciones, fueron establecidos un total de 50 parcelas de 400m2 cada una (25 en pastizales y 25 en zonas boscosas), haciendo un total de 2 hectáreas de evaluación. En cada parcela se registraron la densidad de plántulas, juveniles (I y II) y adultos. En cuanto a los caracteres morfológicos, se aprecia la gran variabilidad de los caracteres morfológicos vegetativos estudiados en los adultos y plántulas de la población de Pozuzo. La comparación de los parámetros morfológicos obtenidos con las muestras de herbario, nos revela la gran plasticidad morfológica que tiene esta especie en el área de estudio. Las palmeras adultas de las zonas boscosas presentan un mayor promedio en el largo del raquis (607,54 cm), pecíolo y vaina (106,03 cm), largo de las pinnas proximales (109,85 cm) y largo del aguijón mayor (25,84 cm) que aquellas palmeras de los pastizales (con 444,80 cm; 85,70 cm; 85,03 cm y 17,66 cm para el largo del raquis, largo del peciolo y vaina, largo de las pinnas proximales y largo del aguijón mayor en promedio respectivamente). En los pastizales las palmeras adultas tienen en promedio tallo más alto (4,19 m), pinnas medias más anchas (8,66 cm), mayor largo x ancho de las pinas medias (933,63 cm2) y mayor número de frondas (9,96) en comparación con los adultos de los ambientes boscosos (2,59 m; 6,08 cm; 652,28 cm2 y 6,63 para la altura del tallo, ancho de las pinnas medias, largo x ancho de las pinnas medias y número de frondas respectivamente). Las plántulas de las zonas de boscosas tuvieron un mayor largo del limbo (27,08 cm en promedio), peciolo (22,39cm), y un mayor número de hojas (2,95) que las plántulas en los pastizales (17,35cm; 10,12cm y 2,05 para el tamaño de limbo, peciolo y número de hojas promedio respectivamente). Se discute la importancia de la intensidad de luz como uno de los parámetros que afectan la morfología de esta especie. La estructura de la población de Astrocaryum perangustatum en Pozuzo fue diferente en los bosques y los pastizales. La proporción de adultos fue mayor en las zonas boscosas (29%) en comparación con los pastizales (22%). En promedio hubo una mayor cantidad de adultos en floración en los pastizales (1 por parcela) que en zonas boscosas (0.44 por parcela). Los juveniles fueron ausentes en los pastizales, mientras que en las zonas boscosas representaron el 17%. No se encontraron diferencias significativas a nivel del estadío de plántulas, cuya proporción fue similar en los pastizales (78%) y zonas boscosas (53%). Se discute el posible efecto de las actividades ganaderas y agrícolas sobre las poblaciones de esta especie.
