2006 -- slides -- Vivienda Social en Latino-América.
Web presentation in Spanish for the Brazilian and Ibero-American Congress on Social Housing, Florianópolis, Brazil, November 2006. Evidence-based optimal practices for social housing are developed in a Latin American context. Solutions towards long-term sustainability help to attach residents to their built environment. At the same time, we analyze the failures of the standard social housing typologies favored by governments around the world.2008 -- videos, slides, notes -- Algorithmic Sustainable Design: The Future of Architectural Theory
A series of 12 Lectures on Video given at the University of Texas at San Antonio, Spring 2008. Application of cutting-edge mathematical techniques and recent results of Christopher Alexander to architectural design. Fractals and algorithmic processes. Cellular automata that generate the Sierpinski carpet. Harmony-seeking computations. 15 Fundamental Properties. Generative codes, and their difference from static New Urbanist codes. [Both the videos and the Powerpoint presentations of these lectures are available from the above webpage].2008 -- video -- Tall buildings
Criticism of skyscrapers and suggestions for Expo 2015 in Milan, Italy. Portion of Lecture no. 11 from "Algorithmic Sustainable Design".2008 -- video -- The architectural and urban revolution
Video interview by Nancy Kenney at the Congress for the New Urbanism CNU XVI, Austin, Texas, April 2008.2008 -- slides -- Connecting the Fractal Coast
Web presentation for the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria, Italy, September 2008. With the urbanization of the Mediterranean coastline into one continuous ribbon city, we need more intelligent techniques to manage its growth. The goal is to allow commercialization without destroying the life-giving qualities that attract people to the coastline in the first place. A method for long-term solutions utilizes fractals and networks. The proposed bridge to Sicily is discussed.2009 -- slides -- Urban Nuclei and the Geometry of Streets: the Emergent Neighborhoods Model, with Michael Mehaffy, Sergio Porta, & Yodan Rofè. Presented by Yodan Rofè at the Congress for the New Urbanism CNU XVII, Denver, 12 June 2009.
