The Concept Of “Green Roofs” In Tirana, Eduina Zekaj, Franceska Delia
UBT International Conference
The term “green roof” is a pretty old concept in the history of Architecture, and it begins since prehistoric times with attempts of our ancestors to cover up their housing with greenery. But this term is not well known in Tirana and it is just starting to apply in the new era of projects.
The first attempts started in 2010, but there are very few existing projects that fulfill the construction details that a real green roof needs. First of all, we have to understand why we do need green roofs in Tirana. According to “The Guardian”, Tirana was called …

UBT International Conference
In the construction industry, where in recent times every detail is looked over and planned with the most scientific and technological responsibility, hospitals represent the most investigated and scrutinized facilities.
Related closely with institutional and medical practices, hospital design has undergone many reconfigurations. The second half of the past century experienced and produced many hospital models (L, H, T, K type, Patients Tower, Block Plan, etc.), all with the same denominator – too big, isolated and highly complex structures, strictly opposed to nature, oriented towards medical technology rather than patient’s well-being.
By the end of the twentieth century, a group …

Group-Work: Does It Have To Be That Bad?, Anthony Williams, L Henry, R Tucker, N Abassi
Anthony Williams
Many accreditation bodies and universities require the graduate attribute of “an ability to work in teams” or to “effectively collaborate”. Students invariably dislike working in groups maintaining that “malingerers ride on the back” of those students who work hard and contribute effectively to the outcomes of the group or team. This is the context in which an ALTC/OLT project was established, the project is to consider ways of enhancing group-work in Architecture and design related disciplines. The project has identified the issues associated with group-work, from the perspective of student and lecturer, and has begun to develop strategies to overcome …
Exploring Design Strategy In Parametric Design To Support Creativity, Juhyun Lee, Ning Gu, Anthony Williams
Exploring Design Strategy In Parametric Design To Support Creativity, Juhyun Lee, Ning Gu, Anthony Williams
Anthony Williams
This paper deals with the generative and evolutionary aspects of parametric design. We aim to provide a better understanding of individual design strategies to support creativity in parametric design via protocol analysis. An in-depth analysis conceptualises subjects’ creative strategies into two models: problem-driven strategy and solution-driven strategy. The solution-driven strategy progress design in the solution space resulted in the highest value in the level of creativity. This is one of potential aspects of parametric design. Exploring design strategies in parametric design contributes to its effective use.

A Semiotic Framework To Understand How Signs In A Collective Design Task Convey Information: A Pilot Study Of Design In An Open Crowd Context, Darin Phare, Ning Gu, Anthony Williams, Carmel Laughland
Anthony Williams
A leading factor in reshaping boundaries between participatory design and co-creation is the power of crowd-sourcing; however crowd sourced design often produces less innovative results than smaller expert design teams. In design, representation plays a fundamental role whilst in crowd sourced design the collective interaction with representations is restricted. We propose more effective design in collective intelligence lies in the crowd’s ability to generate meaningful contributions via the content of shared representations. In order to investigate this, the current paper examines how meanings are generated through the use of visual representations. We introduce a semiotic framework to understand the mechanisms …
