Fukuoka is also home to a small-scale architecture and design wonder: yatai, small street stalls unshuttered and assembled each night to become fully functioning restaurants.
Montanari and her colleagues said the transparent wood would likely be available for small-scale architecture and design projects in as little as five years.
Usefulness aside, the best – the K2 of 1924 and K6 of 12 years later, both designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, architect of Liverpool's Anglican cathedral and Waterloo Bridge – are fine works of small-scale architecture.
What he offered through his Rural Studio student workshop in Greensboro, Ala., associated with Auburn University, was small-scale architecture that could help lift people out of poverty by providing affordable housing as well as community buildings.
If the graceful interweaving of modernism and classicism at the Morgan demonstrates the power that brilliantly conceived, intense pieces of small-scale architecture can possess, the Times building, so far at least, shows the opposite.
We show by means of selected examples that the small-scale architecture, and particularly the degree of staggering and overlap, plays a critical role in the macroscopic elastic behavior of those tissues.
It was concluded that all soils contain potentially hydrophobic pore surfaces, but the effectiveness of these surfaces to create water repellency depends on the small-scale architecture of the pore space and the distribution/position of hydrophobic components inside the matrix.
Recent advances in bioengineering have enabled the development of biomedical tools with modifiable surface features (small-scale architecture) to mimic extracellular matrices and aid in the development of well-controlled platforms that allow for the application of mechanical stimulation for studying cellular biomechanics.
Nanotecture: Tiny Built Things, published by Phaidon, is Roke's first book and a thorough exploration of small-scale architecture.
When writing her book about small-scale architecture, Rebecca Roke researched sheds, pods and other structures that we might associate with tiny living.
Tree-shaped networks are now being considered as small-scale architectures for high-densities in electronics cooling and fuel cells design.
