Brown FACADES vs Tabris.js

Brown FACADES (Facts about Campus Architecture, Design, Environments and Spaces) is an interactive guide to the architectural history of the Brown University Campus, in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. Brown’s Campus is a microcosm of American architecture with excellent examples from all periods of its 250 year history. At the same time, its architecture and art, its public and intimate spaces help to tell the rich story of our unique institution, our students, faculty, staff and administrators. The work on this App began with an undergraduate research seminar in the history of architecture in the fall of 2011. Every week the students met in a different space on campus to discuss research methods, review individual entries and conduct a site visit. All entries were written by the students and then edited by Siri Olson and Dietrich Neumann. We hope to continue to develop the App and hope for feedback from students and alumni to add more “Facts About Campus Architecture Design Environment and Spaces.” Credits: Project Director: Prof. Dietrich Neumann Editor-in-Chief: Siri Olson Photography: Hassan Bagheri App design: Gokce Kinayoglu

Tabris.js developer app supports users in writing and testing Tabris.js scripts. It allows them to explore widgets and layouts and provides a reference for features available in the Tabris.js framework. On the “Examples” tab, users can interact with different types of widgets, input controls, layouts, animation effects and properties. Users can also browse the associated local JavaScript source code. The “My Scripts” tab provides access to the user’s own scripts based on a GitHub identity. On the "URL" tab (available after signing in) users can provide a URL of a local server which serves a Tabris.js script with custom data. In this way users can test and explore their own scripts. The console drawer allows users to view console output and switch between the script view and the Tabris.js overview page. The Tabris.js developer app is implemented with the Tabris.js framework. The Tabris.js app and the Tabris.js mobile framework are developed by EclipseSource.
