Contemporary cities are shaped by the unlikely adjacencies of objects that are vastly different in kind, origin, and scale: buildings, infrastructure, and other urban components that over time accumulate into mismatched configurations.
The declared goal of this book, an extended and revised translation of the German edition (2021), is to show how a unified model of the psyche and body can be developed via insights from psychoanalysis, neurology and computer technology.

The neuroscience of why bad habits are so hard to break-and how evidence-based strategies can help us change our behavior more effectivelyWe all have habits we'd like to break, but for many of us it can be nearly impossible to do so.
Considering sustainability as a flawed and restrictive term in practice, Sustainable Futures for Climate Adaptation argues that we must radically adapt humanity and reform society, cities, buildings, and our approach to migration in order to coexist in harmony with our natural environments.
This book provides an urgent framework and collective reflection on understanding ways to reconsider and recast architecture within ideas and politics of the commons and practices of commoning.

***Shortlisted for the Architectural Book Awards 2024***Combining architectural and urban thinking in an unusual and engaging way, this book presents an integrated approach to architectural theory and design.
This book focuses on the intelligent perception and interaction module in intelligent robotic systems, establishes a multidisciplinary cross-fertilization knowledge system, explores the related technology frontiers and research frontiers as comprehensively as possible from the perspective of scene modeling and understanding, and develops a practical exposition of practical application tasks such as robotic navigation, obstacle avoidance, and grasping.
In recent years, there has been a growing debate on the various ways that architecture and urbanism have served the triad of colonialism, nationalism and modernity.
Artificial Intelligence: An Introduction to Big Ideas and their Development, Second Edition guides readers through the history and development of artificial intelligence (AI), from its early mathematical beginnings through to the exciting possibilities of its potential future applications.
Mobile Roboter besitzen das Potenzial, zu deutlichen Effizienzsteigerungen in der Fertigung kohlenstofffaserverstärkter Kunststoffe zu führen, wenn sie die aktuell üblichen Sondermaschinen ersetzen.
How do designers navigate the ethical discursive territories of design thinking and practice when the same common terms they consistently use across the different design ethics paradigms-like fair, right, good-convey different meanings?
As in most OECD countries, obtaining good-quality housing in a location facilitating access to jobs, public services and amenities can be very challenging for Italian households with low or unstable income.
This book details relevant research toward design and modeling issues for the firmware of higher-order flexible robotic systems (FRS) with concerned chapters delineating state-of-the-art research in FRS, focusing on novel designs and prototype hardware development of different types of multi-link serial-chain as well as closed-loop flexible manipulators.
