Urs Peter Upe Flueckiger was named interim dean of the College of Architecture on Thursday, May 27, according to a news release from Texas Tech.
Flueckiger is a registered architect and is apart of the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects, according to the release, and has worked in Europe, North America and Japan. He has also collaborated with the Edward E. Whitacre College of Engineering and the School of Art to help students understand materials, shape and construction of housing relating to human experience through an interdisciplinary platform. I plan to strengthen the existing College of Architecture programs and seek new ways to extend the collegeâs existing vision as well as possibly expand and strengthen the various programs in Lubbock and El Paso, said Flueckiger according to the release.
In the past glass design in Switzerland was based on foreign standards and regulations. Questions raised whether the application of these standards is suitable, as they do not comply with the Swiss Standard SIA 260 –Basis of design. The most used standards are the German technical regulations for the use of glazing with linear supports (TRLV) and the DIN 18008. The Swiss society of engineers and architects (SIA) initiated a structural glass standard committee with the task to develop a Swiss glass design standard.
The new Swiss glass design standard is based on the same concept as the Eurocode10 Design of Structural Glass , which is currently in preparation. In future, this standard will be the basis of the Swiss national annex of the Eurocode. An important issue in glass design practice is the shear coupling effect in laminated glass. The standard allows taking into the shear coupling effects and thus will lead to more economic pane thickness.A new concept was developed to m

Buildings play an important role in total energy consumption and worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Smart control strategies are key technological enablers for reducing the GHG footprints of buildings.
3,4 but their simple nature, combined with possible tuning errors, can lead to sub-optimal control behavior.
5 Automatized, efficient building control can significantly reduce energy consumption and emissions.
Research has been done into model predictive control (MPC),
6,7,8,9 adaptive or learning-based MPC
10 and reinforcement learning (RL)
11,12,13 but many of these studies have suffered from the non-standardized evaluation of their control performance.

Automatico studio’s main aim is to work with clients that share the same ethos: that is, to design something that’s not only memorable, quick and efficient, but something that also conveys the studio’s values. This includes sustainability which, Demian Conrad – the founder of the Switzerland-based studio – believes is at the centre of everything the studio creates, be it visual identities, way finding, editorial and exhibition design.
