I want to know how they participated and what compelled them to do so. The ways that I hypothesize these INGO’s participated are through connections with domestic organizations or directly with […]

Le projet envisagé vise à associer architecture paramétrique et réalisation low-tech, et à créer un précédent architectural exemplaire en ce sens. La démarche de recherche consiste à générer une forme qui s’adapte au site le mieux possible, prenant en compte les principes de l’architecture passive. Il s’agit de considérer la course du soleil, les températures, […]

Cette ouverture est un gage du respect […]

This research will be focused on the development of cross-linked framework materials which contain ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) and bifunctional cross-linker units at variable composition. Several questions will be addressed: i) the role and relative contribution of multi-functional adsorption sites (inclusion vs. non-inclusion) of the framework material, ii) the role of framework structure and composition on permanent […]

Agriculture demands more water than any other process in the world and is related to 90% of water use in India.
