hyperdynamics for entropic systems time space Compression and pair correlation function approximation
Physical Review E, 2006Co-Authors: Xin Zhou, Yi Jiang, Kurt Kremer, H J Ziock, Steen RasmussenAbstract:We develop a generalized hyperdynamics method that is able to simulate slow dynamics in atomistic general (both energy- and entropy-dominated) systems. We show that a few functionals of the pair correlation function, involving two-body entropy, form a low-dimensional collective space, which is a good approximation that is able to distinguish stable and transitional conformations. A bias potential, which raises the energy in stable regions, is constructed on the fly. We examine the slow nucleation processes of a Lennard-Jones gas and show that our method can generate correct long-time dynamics without prior knowledge.

The future of the historic city from perceptions of the past: Experience of place, authenticity, and architectural preservation in Barcelona
2021Co-Authors: Bliss, Annamarie RoseAbstract:Human beings imbue meaning into the built environment using their experiences and perceptions of architecture and the destinations they visit as a way to understand their place in the world. Historic architecture draws tourists and travelers with the promise of forging a connection to the past. As we enter an age of building reuse, especially in historic urban contexts, the impacts of those who visit these places to draw connections becomes more important to the economic, political and social aspects of design. For Barcelona, it means efforts to accommodate record visitor numbers and the booming tourism market by calling for new design interventions to major thoroughfares, museums, and other attractions. The Museu Picasso and the Palau de la Música Catalana are examples of re-interpretation of place with new presentation of space and facade. Both complexes have expanded and renovated their historic edifices to make room for growing collections of artifacts and populations of visitors. Honest attempts at solving visitor overload have turned into overhauls of the urban approach and historic quarter context. This dissertation research addresses the perceptions of the tourists who travel to these sites with hopes of historic encounters but are greeted instead by modern façades, long lines, and changing urban context. Different approaches to preservation and adaptive reuse influence the way visitors interact with, experience, and perceive historic spaces. Architecture is charged with giving context to culture and helping to shape collective memory and individual experience. As the architecture of today and of the past becomes history of the next age, we will rely on preservation and restoration efforts to keep our heritage alive. As a result of Time-Space Compression, human beings seek to understand the world around them not only through media, but in person. Once a privilege for only the wealthy on the Grand Tour, tourism has expanded to many mobile classes of people and promotes a global economy and interchange of ideas and cultures. Demands to see historic places before they disappear due to conflict, environmental change, or even overuse, drive the influx of tourist movement in the last thirty years. To accommodate the escalation of individuals, many tourist-historic sites have expanded and renovated their complexes, sometimes building contemporary additions. These additions foster the showcasing of larger collections of artwork, expansion of visitor services, and notoriety in the design community. However, oftentimes, the visitor’s experience of the place is lost in translation when design imperatives, fame, and finances become priorities. As historic objects and places (architecture and the built environment) depend on visitor income for their continued management and care, it is important to understand how both experience and object authenticity influence decisions made by tourism and site mangers. The two categories are not entirely independent within the context of a heritage site. Through both tourism and heritage lenses, authenticity, or the sense of trueness to character, may be studied to promote understanding of the interaction visitors will have with each place. Wang (1999) contributes to the notion of preservation through his concept constructive authenticity. We may infer that reproduction of an object can include architecture and thereby heritage sites. Further, existential authenticity as a perception of self may be related to existential phenomenology and theories regarding sense of place to complete an understanding of the personal interaction of tourists with their destinations. The perceptions of the visitors of today will affect the way in which we may perceive heritage in the future. Therefore, this study is conducted through a lens of transactional perceptions of sense of trueness to character of the built environment. Using researcher and participant-led photo-elicitation, tourist interviews, and site observation, I investigate what factors in historic building renovation affect tourist reactions to the preservation and adaptive reuse efforts at the Museu Picasso and Palau de la Música Catalana. This approach is unique to design research as this study brings the haptic and socio-spatial elements of built environment studies together in an unprecedented way. The findings illustrate that historic architectural details and entry sequences promote an often unconscious appraisal of sense of trueness to character which influences experiences of tourist-historic environments. Participants indicated the details of key importance to support their sense of an experience of genuineness. Details and entry were perceived through many different lenses, including culture and background. The meanings associated with the object (building) and the details impacted how visitors felt about their overall experience. The cultural context and history related to the architecture influenced the visitors’ sense of trueness to character because they were able to engage the significance those details had for the place and assess the influence of those details on their experience of the tourist-historic site. This study indicates, therefore, that understanding perceptions of experience, physical details, and cultural context ensures the future of historic architecture.U of I OnlyAuthor requested U of Illinois access only (OA after 2yrs) in Vireo ETD syste

A Search for a New Paradigm in Korean Contemporary Art A Proposal for an Exhibition 'Beyond Surface Culture: The New Grammar of Korean Contemporary Art'
Goldsmiths University of London, 2026Co-Authors: Hyun, Jae MinAbstract:This thesis examines the character of Korean contemporary art. I argue that an intense Time-Space Compression produced by communication technology and the information revolution of the late 20th century has meant that Korean society has experienced the symptom of 'schizophrenia', as theorized by Fredric Jameson, which understands the modern capitalist world as being a perpetual present and characteristically depthless. Facilitated by this flourishing media culture and the rapid diffusion of digital technologies, I claim that a new 'surface culture' emerged in Korean society as Korean society became accustomed to identifying information through images and adopting the concomitant superficiality that this engenders. The Korean art world has also been heavily affected by Western artistic and cultural content through various media and exchanges with the international world, largely as a consequence of the nation's 'globalization policy'. I assert that Korean artists have experienced a new type of visual sensation and stimulation amid the torrent of information and started to understand the world as raw material by registering the received content based on its surface and turning it into modules. However, instead of looking at the current situation in a negative way, I argue for a positive evaluation based on Mario Perniola's 'philosophy of the present', as the basis to propose a new paradigm in Korean contemporary art. According to Pernio la, contemporary society is a full world where everything is available, and what is important is to manage the data and use it appropriately. I argue that one-way communication and the actuality of mass media influence in Korea has reached its peak, and that Korean artists have begun to develop a new paradigm of accumulating data and have begun alTanging it according to their own criteria throughout the last decade. In conclusion, I propose an exhibition featuring the art practices which embrace this new paradigm, and which explore innovative ways of making inventories and classifying history and culture
