Apparent Molecular Weight Distributions for Investigating Aging in Polymer-Modified Bitumen by Miriam Cappello, Sara Filippi, Yvong Hung, Massimo Losa, Giovanni Polacco

“…In the case of polymer-modified binders, aging involves both bitumen and polymers and has a strong impact on the whole architecture of the material. Rheology may help in understanding these structural changes, and interesting information may be obtained by analysing the evolution of apparent molecular weight distributions. …”

Responsive Envelopes: Experimentations by natural Role Models by Ingrid Paoletti Paoletti

“…For example, the tactical, tropical and nastic movements respond to stimuli like humidity, sun and heat. In Architecture, the ability to develop responsive envelopes arises from the need to modulate the performance of the first filter between inside and outside with dynamic solutions that can be activated depending on people, climatic changes or the presence of particular conditions. …”

On the Spaces of Guerre Moderne: The French Army in Northern Algeria (1954–1962) by Samia Henni

“…Since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, however, the United States and other Western powers have overtly expressed their interest in French military practices in Algeria, but seldom in the fields of architecture and territorial planning. This article examines the intrinsic relationships between the doctrines of the guerre moderne, the resultant built environments, and the socio-economic consequences of the two over the course of the French war in Algeria. …”
