Bach to Batch

Piątek, Tomek (Victoria University of Wellington, 2017)

Ōtaki Beach is an example of a small town by the sea romanticised by many New Zealanders, yet it suffers for not being able to grow without resorting to greenfield development and subdivision. Its coarse urban grain and ...
Bamboo Fale: Climate of Change

Cayford, Emily (Victoria University of Wellington, 2017)

The world is currently sitting on the brink of a massive upheaval as Climate Change continues to intensify. At this stage, there is no apparent turning back: the only remaining option is to adapt. While many countries are ...
Bath and the Body, Bamboo and the Soul

Palamountain, Dion (Victoria University of Wellington, 2010)

Bathing at a fundamental level is desired for two attributes cleansing the body, and cleansing the soul. Historically the act of bathing has been a combination of hot and cold water bathing; this act cleanses both the ...
Bazaar in the 'Burbs: Infilling fine grain of activity in the course grain context of Paraparaumu

Zhu, Yan Xin (Victoria University of Wellington, 2016)

The regional townships of New Zealand are losing young people. The township of Paraparaumu, located along the Kapiti Coast, is no exception. As a sprawling, low-density suburban settlement with its town center being ...
Bee Positive: Design for Awareness

Lubomudrov, Maria (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

This thesis aims to create a museum dedicated to awareness, research, and education, in an attempt to preserve the declining bee population. It focuses on the Native Bees of New Zealand in conjunction with introduced bees. ...
Being and Becoming: A Metaphysics of Aesthetic Experience

Field, Christopher J. (Victoria University of Wellington, 2011)

In the tragedies of Greek antiquity occurred a rare phenomenological event that shaped its people, producing what the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche argued as the highest culture and art of Occidental civilization. ...
A Bend in the Ganges

Elsen, Sebastian (Victoria University of Wellington, 2018)

This thesis examines the Indian government’s Namami Ganges project and related river cleaning and sewage treatment projects along the Ganges river in India. One of the challenges of these water cleaning projects is that ...
Beneath the Skin: Emulating human physiology using a novel bitmap-based “voxel” 3D-printing workflow.

Morris, Ana (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

Novel technologies that produce medical models which are synthetic equivalents to human tissue may forever change the way human anatomy and medicine are explored. Medical modelling using a bitmap-based additive manufacturing ...
Bespoke Urban Factory

Bankier-Perry, André (Victoria University of Wellington, 2018)

A change in consumer values has resulted in the traditional factory becoming outdated and out of touch. The ever-changing rapid and exponential development in high-tech manufacturing technologies is enabling humankind to ...
Between Moments - Using virtual reality with participatory processes to design healthcare waiting places

Harkness, Robyn (Victoria University of Wellington, 2019)

Within healthcare architecture, there is a void of attention directed towards the non-medical spaces; the waiting rooms, hallways and all ‘between moments’ where many people spend extended periods of time under acute stress. ...
Beyond the Tent - The application of a tool based approach to the exploration of aggregate building methodologies

Kent, Dave (Victoria University of Wellington, 2019)

To the detriment of many, the act of building dwellings has become increasingly prohibitive. Materials costs and the cost of labour makes up a significant part of this expense. While this issue is becoming increasingly ...
Big House: Co-living Design for Transitional Housing

Webber, Benjamin (Victoria University of Wellington, 2018)

This research explores the architectural implications of co-living in a community house that supports very low-income people. Key findings through design research are developed from disciplinary concerns in the literature ...
Bike Shop

Chen, Liang (Victoria University of Wellington, 2014)

The aim of the research is to develop a new model of bicycling supporting infrastructure that is cost-efficient, easily fabricated and installed, energy-efficient, globally transportable and adaptable to site. Cycling has ...
Bike your City: Planning and Designing Cycling Infrastructure in the Urban Environment

Jiang, Jack J. (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)

Cycling is a memory of the past for most of us, the lack of support from the authorities on the cycling infrastructure made it difficult to attract people to cycle in the city. Urban sprawl, traffic congestion, car dependency, ...
Bio-body reactor

Benck, Ashley (Victoria University of Wellington, 2014)

Donna Haraway defines a cyborg as a hybrid creature, composed of part machine and part organism. This thesis asks how the cyborg can be used as a catalyst to reengage the body with architecture. Four key areas are used to ...
Biodiver_Cities: supporting native biodiversity in the built environment

Koat, Jennifer (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

Future built environments need to address climate change and biodiversity loss. This research shows that by using an ecosystem services framework combined with biophilic design principles, the built environment is capable ...
Biological Algorithms for Digital Manufacture

Wotton, Louise (Victoria University of Wellington, 2019)

Computational simulations are generally built upon a form or design that is near or mostly complete. Agent-based simulations are ones where the rules and behaviours are designed, creating an unpredictable output. In this ...
Biological inter-dependencies in 3D printing: Larvae scaffold excavation of high filigree clay structures

Bagley, Mark (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

Ceramic 3D printing has emerged in recent years as a new method for working with age-old material, a blend of the digital and analog that breeds a new type of artisan. Working with clay in an FDM extrusion system presents ...
The Bionic Hand: Augmenting the Manual and the Digital

Davie, Sarah (Victoria University of Wellington, 2019)

The tension between the hand and machine is currently at the core of one of architecture’s biggest debates. Pallasmaa and the firm Kieran Timberlake, for example, hold very different positions on this spectrum, both with ...
