Situated Architecture In The Digital Age: Adaptation Of A Textile Mill In Holyoke, Massachusetts, Dorcas A. Brooks
Situated Architecture In The Digital Age: Adaptation Of A Textile Mill In Holyoke, Massachusetts, Dorcas A. Brooks
Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
The City of Holyoke, Massachusetts is one of many aging, industrial cities striving to revitalize its economy based on the promise of increased digital connectivity and clean energy resources. But how do you renovate 19th century mills to meet the demands of the information age? This architectural study explores the potential impact of sensing technologies and information networks on the definition and function of buildings in the 21st century. It explores the changes that have taken place in industrial architecture since 1850 and argues for an architecture that supports local relationships and environmental awareness. The author explores the industrial history …

Digital Computation As Information Processing, Nir Fresco
Digital Computation As Information Processing, Nir Fresco
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
It is common in cognitive science to equate computation (in particular digital computation) with information processing. Yet, it is hard to find a comprehensive explicit account of concrete digital computation in information processing terms. An Information Processing account seems like a natural candidate to explain digital computation. After all, digital computers traffic in data. But when 'information' comes under scrutiny, this account becomes a less obvious candidate. 'Information' may be interpreted semantically or nonsemantically, and its interpretation has direct implications for Information Processing as an objective account of digital computation. This paper deals with the implications of these interpretations for …
Concrete Digital Computation: What Does It Take For A Physical System To Compute?, Nir Fresco
Concrete Digital Computation: What Does It Take For A Physical System To Compute?, Nir Fresco
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
This paper deals with the question: what are the key requirements for a physical system to perform digital computation? Time and again cognitive scientists are quick to employ the notion of computation simpliciter when asserting basically that cognitive activities are computational. They employ this notion as if there was or is a consensus on just what it takes for a physical system to perform computation, and in particular digital computation. Some cognitive scientists in referring to digital computation simply adhere to Turing's notion of computability. Classical computability theory studies what functions on the natural numbers are computable and what mathematical …
