Without a plan? : an ethnography of architecture, domestic microclimates, and building practices in contemporary Cairo

Ghodbane, Dalila ; Roesler, Sascha (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2021ARC002.

This study is located at the intersection of architecture and the social sciences. Its core is an ethnographic investigation of how Cairo experiences and tackles urban heatwaves, which was carried out primarily by looking at people’s building practices. The research is structured along three axes. The first consists of a historical overview of the Egyptian architectural field, based on a...

Nanostructure generation during milk digestion in presence of a cell culture model simulating the small intestine

Hempt, Claudia ; Gontsarik, Mark ; Buerki-Thurnherr, Tina ; Hirsch, Cordula ; Salentinig, Stefan

In: Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2020, vol. 574, p. 430–440

Hypothesis: The development of advanced oral delivery systems for bioactive compounds requires the fundamental understanding of the digestion process within the gastrointestinal tract. Towards this goal, dynamic invitro digestion models, capable of characterising the molecular as well as colloidal aspects of food, together with their biological interactions with relevant invitro cell culture...

Microclimates and the city : towards an architectural theory of thermal diversity

Roesler, Sascha ; Kobi, Madlen

In: The urban microclimate as artifact : towards an architectural theory of thermal diversity, 2018, p. 12-24

The term “microclimate” was coined by German and British meteorologists and geographers in the first half of the 20th century. Rudolf Geiger and Albert Kratzer realized that the climate in the air layer “two meters above the ground” differs considerably between rural and urban sites. W.G.V. Balchin and Norman Pye proved that the urban climate within one city, Bath, was not homogenous,...
