Three-dimensional Input and Visualization
The aim of this chapter is to investigate techniques by which man-computer interaction could be improved, specifically in the context of architectural applications of CAD. In this application the object being designed is often an assembly of defined components. Even if the building is not actually fabricated from such components, it is usually conceptualized in these terms. In a conventional graphics- based CAD system these components are usually represented by graphical icons which are displaye
Architecture as Drawing, Perception and Cognition
This work is about realizing that human perception is inherent to architecture. It is an asset and a trait subject to training and development in an empirical way, involving physical and manual action. It cannot be taught literally through convention and logic reasoning. It is a human achievement of great significance built on intellectual and scientific knowledge. It is something, being physical and empirical, that is supported on instrumental procedure. The computer, as a machine and an instru
Ultrasound: From Diagnosis to Therapy Their original discovery has since been followed by decades of rapid developments in ultrasound, magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging. By now, truly non-invasive, image-guided ultrasound therapy has become a clinical reality.
In the early 1950’s, Frank and William Fry discovered that high-frequency sound waves could be used to produce localized tissue damage.
Better Atheletes All Around (Ron Smith/Frank Smoll)
Who are the biggest sports fans at the University of Washington? Ron Smith and Frank Smoll, sports psychologists, showcase their work on appropriate coaching behavior at all levels of sports. In this 1994 Upon Reflection interview with Marcia Alvar, learn about the effects of sports on children and rediscover what it means to have good sportsmanship.
Dispelling the Myths about the Yanomamo (Kenneth Good)
Kenneth Good, anthropologist and author of “Into the Heart: One Man’s Pursuit of Love and Knowledge among the Yanomamo,” talks about his experience living and learning with this indigenous Amerindian people of South America. Join Upon Reflection host Marcia Alvar in this 1991 University of Washington video for a detailed look at anthropological field study and Good’s integration into the Yanomamo culture.

Redefining the Wall: Architecture, Materials and Macroelectronics
As a principle element of architecture, technology has allowed for the wall to become an increasingly dynamic component of the built environment. The traditional connotations and objectives related to the wall are being redefined: static becomes fluid, opaque becomes transparent, barrier becomes filter and boundary becomes borderless. Combining smart materials, intelligent systems, engineering, and art can create a component that does not just support and define but significantly enhances the ar
The digital architecture of tomorrow
This paper presents an ongoing research project about the development of the materials and fabrication techniques for a fundamentally new class of architectural composite. This type of composite, which is a representative example of an even broader class of smart architectural material, has the potential to change the design and function of an architectural structure or living environment. As of today, this kind of composite does not exist. Once completed, this will be the first technology on i

Measuring the Impact of Media on Architectural Design (Measuring the Impact of Media on Architectura
The relationship between the media and architectural design can be an important factor and can influence the design outcome. However, the nature, direction and magnitude of this relationship are unknown. Consequently, there have been many speculative claims about this relationship and almost none of them are supported with empirical research studies. In order to investigate these claims and to provide a testable framework, an empirical study has been conducted. A set of quantitative measures was

Ancient Near East and the Mediterranean World
This is a collection of digitized material from the Ancient Near East collection at the University of Chicago. The project focused on materials published between 1850 - 1950, drawn from two of the Library's complimentary collections, the Ancient Near East and Classics Collections. Preserved materials relate to the study of the ancient Near East and cover such topics as the archeology, art, history, language, law, and religions of Sumer, Babylonia, Assyria, Egypt, Nubia, Persia, and other ancient
