The use of a specific site for research is one of the forms that help the development of sculpture in contemporary times. In this context, my work is focused on presenting a "mirror" of the damage we do to nature, and therefore to ourselves through pollution and the need we have for industry, the compromise we have to make. By applying the specific site as a starting point for the conception of a sculptural form we achieve a better communication, including in this case the history of the location. The work focuses on the research and use of different materials …

Stimulating Decision-Making Through Design And Advertising, Dardan Luta

UBT International Conference

The improvement of technology has made it possible for the masses to have easy access to graphic software, therefore even the products/advertisements of a category become very similar to each other and the design becomes a decisive element that makes this difference. To differentiate between products, each brand tries to create its own visual language and aims to give a message to the consumer about its identity.

Since advertising is such an important aspect of a brand, can consumer perceptions be stimulated or manipulated through graphic design? We will focus in the advertisements that companies in Kosovo have used for …

Indoor Air Quality Impacts Into Life Cycle Assessments Of Buildings And Building, Afrim Syla

UBT International Conference

Human exposure to indoor pollutant concentrations is receiving in-creasing interest in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Products used during con-struction and operation of a building can contribute to Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) problems that affect occupants’ well-being. However, IAQ is conventionally not addressed in the life cycle assessments (LCAs) of buildings and building re-lated products even though IAQ leads to one of the areas of protection under LCA - human health impacts. In this study, we proposed an overall framework for integrating IAQ into LCA using the standard steps of LCA. The framework focused on IAQ and LCA modeling from two …

Dynamics Of Simply Supported Beam Members Subject To Vertical Seismic Acceleratio, Francesco Foti, Luca Capacci, Bruno Dal Lago

UBT International Conference

Despite in most cases vertical seismic acceleration is disregarded in practical structural design, mainly due to the uncritical actions of the pertinent load combination, current standards prescribe the structural check of long-span and pre-stressed beam members subjected to vertical acceleration when they are located in high seismic hazard areas. Current design approaches focus on either finite element calculation, which does not provide a logical guidance to the designer for the problem, or, alternatively, on simplified calculations typically assuming lumped masses concentrated at midspan of the horizontal member. The latter approach does provide only an indicative solution affected by arbitrary modelling …
