Summary: In this paper are claimed as works of architecture automatically to the floating construction since the implementation of the steam engine to navigation becoming a passenger vessels into fragments mobile territory without tying paisajísta concrete without genius loci- structured cities in the form of mobile, very clearly diversified and socially stratified, a hardware qu was the technological edge of their mometo. The study is divided into two partes.En first is the historical fact that founded the steamship, which, thanks to its rovolucinario propulsion system, I am freed from the dictates of the winds and tides, without acquiring an autonomous status precedents until entonces.Para It has analyzed composition and fosonómicamente the transition from sailing trasoceánico toward the ship mechanic: their organizational changes, progresico increased size and speed of unidadesl increasing complexity and sophistication of its facilities and spaces interriores, addressing both its characters themselves, and the connections estilísticas and authorship for the works of land adentro.También are analyzed changes fisonómicos ie compositional - such ships in period 1850-1939, traavés mainly from the processing formally observed in its basic characteristic: caso -distinguiendo between bow, stern and middle third - and superstructure and the willingness and adaptations successive section of the ship, where he is forced to reconcile the complex reasons, nautical and architectural. The second, assuming knowledge of the varied overall context that determines the fundamental characteristics of passenger vessels at the stage chosen, is devoted to the description and analysis of lasituación Spanish during it, taking the record as the unifying theme of the enterprising Company Transatlantic Hispaniola, the largest national shipping over these years, and using, among other sources, material inedito-placas photographs and drawings -existentes in the Historical Archives Museum's "The Dock" in Puerto Shipyard Real (Cadiz), factory pioneer in the production of passenger ships mechanics since 1892. The work, divided into three volumes: text, illustrations and shot selection, establishing a point of view originas for consideration and esturdio of passenger ships as facts arquitectónicos-arquitecturas flotantes-, opening, and also suggestive multiple pathways for future investigations.

Summary: INTRODUCTION: The topic for the thesis is the process of diffusion of digital technology comtemporánea.El issue that I raise is the investigation of the architectural and urban effects of this phenomenon, because we must recognize that urban available theories do not provide resources for the dynamic dirivan of new tecnologías.Existen estensa literature and research on the subject of the study, although the critical review of the same reveals certain insuficiencias.Primero, being developed by disciplines destintas to architecture. Second, every theory refers to a single urban scale, finally, we take the American city as a model referential making technology. The investigation of the thesis show the following scenario: Tokyo represents an alternative model of urban and architectural effects of the adoption of the technologies of the information digital.El method proposed addresses the shortcomings of other investigations, analyzing a complex spatial non-Western, the diversar scales componene urban structure, and interprets the examples from the architectural discipline. RESEARCH The current state of urban applications of information technology in Tokyo is a historic contrucción whose evolutionary development is introduced from determining historical, architectural and industriales.El analysis climb examples of technological system is developed using as a reference the coordinates postal progressive inclusion therefore fairly represents the structure of Japanese territory. CITY: GPS-assisted navigation, trip around the Bay Tokyo.DISTRITO: information system at point of sale networks konbinis.SECTOR: concentration of companies on the Internet, Bit Valley Shibuya.MANZANA: electrolumniscencia inorganic, building Q-Front and the landscape urbano.EDIFICIO: design by algorithm, eldiseño induced. ROOM: industrial production demand wed, cuusoo. INDIVIDUAL: Japanese mobile Internet, i-mode.OBJETO: electromininiscencia organic, a future visual plastic. CONCLUSION: From a physical point of view, new technologies break the limits objetuales of funciones.Desde an operational point of view. We can simulate processes with may9or precision analog and obtain instant information and simultaneous remote parameter without contunuidad espacial.El individual, as sopote-sujeto acquires a state of ulta-nomadismo, which is capable of updating their location and admas location the objects in the ciudad.Entonces, information desponible helps replace spaces redundant paths for static and in dynamic equilibrium. Indeed, the effects of architecture and urban employment in the digital information technologies in Tokyo offer a molelo alternaativo: E-DO, the path of electrónica.Si the foundation of the western model means a tecología expansion and adaptation of the city technology E-DO is based on a tenología shrinkage and involves adapting the technology to the town, the adjustment to urban order, which conseva principles local viewed in the evolution histórica.En the information age, E - OJ ejempliza the paticularización systems tecnologícos a given urban context, different for each city.

Summary: The growing demand for competitiveness of industrial enterprises has led in recent years to an increase in interest in optimizing their distribution in plant for the sake of reducing their production costs at the same time has created the need for tools systematic approach to address this problem. Given the increasing interest in recent decades, many authors have developed several lines of research to address the problem of optimizing plant in distributions. This thesis suggests three algorithms optimization multiobjetivo to generate distributions in Plant at the stage of "layout" of the whole, based on the technique of "cooling sham" (Simulated Annealint). The optimization multiobjetivo is performed both for the cost of maintenance associated with the flow of materials between the activities of the plant and for the geometric indexes compactness and robustness related to the form of action. In relation to the quality geometric establishing a new indicator to measure the regularity of the resulting configurations. The geometrical model for the treatment of space is unobtrusive and uses curves filling oscillatory (Space Filling Curves) with variable bandwidth to ensure continuity and contigà ¼ ity of activities which allows restrictions of continuity, not overlapping and occupation in the procedure for construction of solutions. It compares the performance of different algorithms proposed face different challenges test the literature and establishing metrics to assess the quality of the solutions.

Summary: CONTEXT The material is used as needed, such as literature, it is not part of a theoretical material which helps to develop the thesis but it is part of it. Therefore, this dissertation is the result of the merger project, lectures, papers, concerns, doubts obsessions, travel, visited works, and checked all of this over time. From the vision of a student, teacher or professional, the thesis is making its way, seeking the possibility of expression. By exploring the relationship between analysis and project and between data capture and deliberate the proposal, the work assumes a dual role: as a document developed probing staff, and also become a teaching experience of speculation the mechanisms for research and development. It has become the thesis into a kind of space where ACTION materials and facilities have been ordered with absolute flexibility, and make clear the process of generation of the document. The investigation has been built from a script that has been opened and the demand for its development and has taken advantage of drifts that the material was produced, this has contaminated the study and through constant feedback has evolved. It is structured through two parallel documents with mutual influences. A thesis result of discussions with partners and friends, Ideas and manipulated. TOPIC The thesis deals with the theme of SINGLE SPACE through three authors: Mies, Le Corbusier and Koolhass that in one way or another may represent three families, three species, three positions, three different thoughts analyzed from two of his works a domestic space and a public piece. The first family consists pieces transparent, lightweight, ingrávidas, dematerialized, almost invasibles, the National Gallery of Berlin and the cas Farnsworth. The second family of parts is massive, solid, anchored to the ground, rotundas, matéricas, limits thick, the Palace of the Assembly of Chandighard and villa Shodam Ahmedabad. The third family pieces are ambiguous, hybrid, hybrid, speculative. The Library of France in Paris and the house Bordeaux Rem Koolhaas. If the National Gallery in Berlin was in the sixties a paradigm of exhibition space, the Palace of the assembly Chandighard announced the creation of a new model of political organization linked to a new town in the context of the Indian subcontinent and the Library of France it became a new way of understanding the space of knowledge in the Paría-eighties. The three houses chosen represent a clear concept of space and which these authors worked at that time and that have marked a new path in the understanding of what domestic workers modes lifestyle. We have incorporated new data, new looks, new methods of analysis and understanding of the works. Items belonging to a NEW REALITY.

In relation to the first order, after the introduction get a chapter devoted to explain from where he deals with this investigation, the second chapter refer to the generic approaches that help you understand the content of the work, and that place and focus part of the considerations of the body central research forming chapters third, fourth and fifth, each devoted to one of the authors involved in the thesis. The final chapter describes possible trajectories, addresses or strategies that can be given in relation to the evolution of the idea of single area as well as the evolution of space art, politics or knowledge. In relation to the second order, this has to do with the idea of the format and the pue 8 sta in and 5bc scena of information. Within the format - 4 landscape has desdoblado the document in two halves: the right side allows for direct reading of the theory, the left side proposes interference, tangents thoughts, impressions that operate as adjuncts of the right margin also, somehow, as reading less autonomous Orthodox. Through the color code, the six categories allow the establishment of multiple readings of thesis: one could read the thesis from the point of view of the concept, structure, construction, geometry, landscape, and always from the focus on the right side or the left side. This introduction of the information in the text allows to find different environments relationship between projects, while activating chapters, references, drawings of various works and try to build on each reading different thoughts. In short, there is an interactive reading of the text and included that the gaps can be used by the reader to complete the document.

Summary: This work is the result of an investigation conducted in Spain, the United Kingdom and Germany, and its main purpose is to answer the question  Is there a language of modern wood? For this purpose it was necessary to begin the process of studying the language researcher and constructive traditional structural material, placing it within a larger context so that relations with the creation architectural space. Subsequently, and within this framework, it may be determined whether technological innovations in the field of material and the manufacturing process possible or not a modern language. Over the work presents numerous case studies. IF either in the field of architecture with wood, the solutions are usually hybrid syntactic, have tried to illustrate numerous examples where it is relatively easy to identify a clear solution syntactic and at the same time, showing an intention of architectural space. Thus, the thesis is divided basically into four main parts or chapters. The first chapter examines the factors relevant for the expression of tectonic architecture, and the necessary conditions for the existence of a modern tectonics. The second chapter is the analysis of different types of syntactic within the traditional concept, in order to distinguish between tectonic traditional and modern tectonics. Within this framework emphasizes the creation of mechanisms specific to each type space syntax. Then, the third part of the work carried out by the study of the basic elements of modern tectonics. There will always be a tour of the different types of panels, studying various architectural forms to explain his contribution to the vocabulary of modern tectonics. The final chapter provides an analysis of the characteristics of language panels, namely the analysis of the characteristics of modern tectonics. This section concludes with the most significant contributions to creating architectural space by this language.
