3. 22. Structuring Fashion : Department Stores as Situating Spatial Practice

   Författare :Daniel Koch; Lars Marcus; Rolf Gullström Hughes; Staffan Henriksson; Judith Williamson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; architecture; architecture theory; architectural morphology; spatial systems; department stores; commercial cultures; shopping; consumption; social structures; fashion; identity; public culture; relational space; space syntax; Architecture; Arkitektur;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation investigates department stores as complex spatial and cultural buildings, in which values and ideas are expressed, negotiated, and produced.

4. 23. Virtual Human Characters for Autonomous Vehicle-to-Pedestrian Communication

   Författare :Alexandros Rouchitsas; Håkan Alm; Jessica Körning-Ljungberg; Jonas Lundberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : Pedestrians base their street-crossing decisions on both vehicle-centric cues, like speed and acceleration, and driver-centric cues, like gaze direction and facial expression. In the future, however, drivers of autonomous vehicles will be preoccupied with non-driving related activities and thus unavailable to provide pedestrians with relevant communicative cues. LÄS MER
