MODELS FOR THE RELIEF OF EXTREME EVENTS: FUNCTIONAL FLUCTUATION AND OPTIMUM TYPOLOGIES FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The following paper concentrates on examining the built fabric under extreme events. The definition of the extreme within the built environment is analyzed and models for the relief of the phenomenon are considered. The aim is to examine the fluctuations created by the event and to create models of appeasement and design typologies which intent on the imminent relief of the crisis. Theories, such as complexity, self organization, emergence, swarm intelligence, catastrophe theory, bifurcations, networks and systems theories are applied in order to find optimum ways of designing. Generative and evolutionary design, parametric design, is explored. The methodology followed is by simulating (pedestrian movement) the facts and finding optimum design solution.
