QuVue is a plugin for uVSF(SkyView Ratio) Analysis. It is a new index for measuring visible sky ratios that overcomes the major hurdles of current methods. It calculates the actual three-dimensional projection area of obstacles onto a virtual hemisphere, considering humans’ downward view. QuVue is TRADEMARKED and its a free program.

Prof. Yi’s work, titled QuVue, has been trademarked under the U of I Board of Trustees. The tool is for architectural and engineering services, namely consulting services, to evaluate sky view ratios.
Scott Murray has authored a chapter in the new book Modernism and American Mid-20th Century Sacred Architecture, edited by Anat Geva and published this month by Routledge. Murray’s chapter presents a comprehensive history of a remarkable but short-lived and nearly forgotten building in Champaign designed by the noted architect Paul Rudolph.

Scott Murray, Cofounder and Lead investigator, has been appointed as an Editorial Board member for the new journal Technology|Architecture + Design (TAD)
TAD is a peer-reviewed journal for building technology researchers who seek to articulate the value and relevancy of technology for architecture and design. The journal is committed to disseminating research and scholarship contextualized within disciplinary, cultural, and ethical frameworks. TAD provides a forum for discussion and debate about the impact of technological forces on design and practice.
Dr. Yun Kyu Yi’s interview was published in “Convergence: The Redesign of Design, ” by Randy Deutsch (AD, 2017)
