title	Psychology of Early Design in Architecture
source	Second Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture & Urban Planning (Vaals, the Netherlands), August 15-19, 1994
summary	Lately there has been a good deal of emphasis on the early stages of the design process, particularly by developers of computer aids and quantitative design models for both evaluation and generation of designs in a variety of domains. Yet, there is little understanding of the early design-process. While the early design process as manifested by human designers need not be the sole basis of the description of this phase, it certainly represents and important kernel of knowledge, especially for those who are interested in developing models, systems or merely interfaces for such systems. This paper focuses on the characterization of the psychology of the early design phase in architecture. It is described in terms of the general design strategies and problem solving tactics used; and is contrasted against some of the process characteristics that

summary	The goal of this article is to conceptualize and structure a theoretical proposed framed of ethics in digital technology in architectural design. The methodological vision of this proposal is one of complex epistemology, which seeks to understand applied ethics in a multicultural reality and the digital processes that reformulate contemporary architectural vision. The proposed “Method 7.1: Re-action in Multi-re-form” is based on Edgar Morin’s “Method 6, Ethics”, and Victor Martin’s “Applied Ethics.” The Method 7.1 is formed by seven ethical dimensions that constitute a pattern of complex thought that systematizes the values for the production of techno-architecture.

title	Employing Extended Reality (XR) to Expanding Narratives of Place-Making, Spatial Presence and Immersive Experience
source	C+++: Computation, Culture, and Context – Proceedings of the 11th International Conference of the Arab Society for Computation in Architecture, Art and Design (ASCAAD), University of Petra, Amman, Jordan [Hybrid Conference] 7-9 November 2023, pp. 963-974.
summary	Extended Reality XR, which encompasses various forms of virtual reality VR and augmented reality AR, has emerged as a powerful experimental tool in design and environmental psychology research due to its ability to produce comprehensive and immersive experiences for users through narratives. A strong sensation of spatial presence, which may be viewed as a subjective sense of space cognition and its surroundings, is one sign of a good XR experience. Despite the fact that XR research has shed light on numerous elements that may affect presence and place-making in XR environments, there is still much to learn about the varied phenomenology of narrative possibilities that ensure a successful immersion experience. The paper focuses on extended reality and how it influences how we create spaces, feel present in our surroundings, and have an immersive experience. In this paper, the concepts of place-making and spatial presence were examined in relation to how people might create a consistent sense of reality during both real-world and virtual experiences. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ideas of place-making, presence, and immersion experience as they have been developed in XR research while also addressing variables that could affect expanding narratives. The study covers major elements of the "place" literature, connects them to the idea of presence, and then exhibits their use in the context of extended reality. It also discusses the phenomenological properties of presence in human consciousness. A user study conducted through a designed immersive experience as a simulation to some spaces of the Grand Egyptian Museum. Samples of users’ responses were collected through a survey addressing their perceptions of the virtual visit. The study showed that place-making and spatial presence in extended reality work as a link between real-world locations and virtual attributes. When moving from the real world to the virtual one, boundaries become more fluid, themes can be developed, and virtual spaces mimic the real spaces. The study outline proposals for further work and lays out some ideas for future research.

summary	The ASCAAD 2023 theme focuses on Computation, Culture, and Context; a triad that is increasingly informing and reshaping the emerging dynamics of design and construction in the built environment of several regions in the Global South. Socio-cultural spheres, heritage roots, contextual relevance, and art and material culture have historically been the primary sources for design and construction innovation and uniqueness in such regions and contexts. Complex geopolitical events however have resulted in a shift towards a perplexed practice of post-modernist styles or imported Western models of design and production, coupled with some attempts to rebrand modernist and post-modernist approaches through critical regionalism and revolts against orientalist movements. Technology and computation have always been an active factor and tool in reflecting these practices. Advancements in computational design have in some ways sparked a latent intent to revive the character and heritage of rich civilizations. While this has led to growing interest within communities belonging to such rich history to adopt computational methodologies and practices, it has equally raised questions regarding authenticity, innovation and identity. Many of the recent attempts to shift away from Western-centered orientalist approaches have in reality not been that far, but have often further accentuated the superficial use of geometrical practices and pattern-based approaches in art, architecture, and urban design, characterized by stereotypical schemes in building interiors, façade screens, and spatial configurations.

summary	Founded in 1995 LAB[au], laboratory for architecture and urbanism, links theoretic research LAB[a+u] to concrete works of conception and realisations LA.BAU. LAB[au] elaborates a “hyperdesign” investigating the implications of new technologies of communication and computation in spatiotemporal and social processes and their forms of representation as architecture and urbanism. The transposition of the hypertext model to architectural and urban concepts question the mutation of the spatial and semantic construct of space. The definition of architecture as a code is based on “glocal” systems according to the processes of computation and communication.

title	Leveraging Landscape Architecture and Environmental Storytelling for NextGeneration Gaming Experiences: A Holistic Approach to Virtual World Design
source	C+++: Computation, Culture, and Context – Proceedings of the 11th International Conference of the Arab Society for Computation in Architecture, Art and Design (ASCAAD), University of Petra, Amman, Jordan [Hybrid Conference] 7-9 November 2023, pp. 639-651.
summary	Designing a virtual environment within a digital game occupies a large part of the design procedure, requiring holistic attention and a broad arrangement of the game constituents. Considering other design disciplines, they occupy a unified design methodology; however, a comprehensive literature review reveals the lack of the intended design methodology in the digital game domain's virtual environment development, despite a currently proposed theoretical methodology trying to dissolve the issue. Hence, this research aims to determine the industry's requirements and provide a set of assets included in current digital games as an initial step of providing such a design methodology for the domain. In this regard, the researchers reverse-engineered ten selected digital games, understanding the current condition of digital games via adopting the mentioned currently available design methodology. This dataset reveals a lack in the assets of the story layer in the recent digital games, despite their focus on being story-based. This dilemma leads to long text or speech conversations between game characters, disrupting the players while following the game. The current design focuses on environmental resources only, however, as a virtual landscape, the story needs to be reinforced to be a balanced and well-designed game. Hence, increasing the ratio of the assets in this layer will advance the games' interactivity. Also, as future work, this data set could pave the way for a digital game industry design tool regarding the virtual environment.

title	Reinterpreting the Courtyard in Modern Indian Architecture: A Computational Study on Configurations
source	C+++: Computation, Culture, and Context – Proceedings of the 11th International Conference of the Arab Society for Computation in Architecture, Art and Design (ASCAAD), University of Petra, Amman, Jordan [Hybrid Conference] 7-9 November 2023, pp. 253-274.
summary	India is a land of significantly varying cultures, climates, and hence, a myriad of architectural styles and elements. Courtyard, one such element, had emerged as a result of multiple factors including not only climate and its context but the community and its culture as well. It is true reflection of the diversity that the country showcases. From the Havelis in Rajasthan and Gujarat to the Wadas in Maharashtra, it has always been an integral part of Indian architecture and its heritage. However, despite being such deeply rooted in the country's heritage, it has started to go missing in modern construction. Various changes in social, cultural, and climatic patterns have made courtyards either an element of luxury or a lost element of the past. What exists today is a vague notion of this element, whose origin is muddled, and the science behind it is lost. One needs to understand that leaving an empty space or a cut-out is neither the true identity nor the authentic form of a courtyard. This configuration depends on a plethora of factors, one of which is Enclosure, governed by width, length, and height. Configurations formed with varied enclosed proportions not only have a psychological influence on the user owing to volume change but also affect air circulation and temperature change. However, the modern application of courtyards is often theoretically examined, resulting in a lack of practical application of its methodologies and design techniques. Hence, different spatial possibilities create an opportunity to use computational methods such as modeling and simulation techniques to form cases of varying degrees and forms of enclosures. It enables the research to reinterpret courtyards in today’s modern context using computer-aided design for a more data-driven exploration for higher human well-being in designed spaces, optimized microclimate, and a more sustainable building. Thus, the paper aims to understand the age-old concept of the courtyard through a scientific lens with the help of modern computational techniques. It will evaluate different configurations formed through simulations graphically. Through the case of Bengaluru, Karnataka, a modern city that experiences a temperate climate in India, the paper will showcase how changing enclosures and various positions of openings can incorporate the true essence of a courtyard in today’s modern architecture. Further, a similar study of different climatic conditions can bring back the lost heritage to the country in its truest form through a futuristic design process that is not only data-driven but also more human and community-centric.

title	Material & Space: Synthesis Strategies based on Evolutionary Developmental Biology
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2008.066
source	Silicon + Skin: Biological Processes and Computation, [Proceedings of the 28th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) / ISBN 978-0-9789463-4-0] Minneapolis 16-19 October 2008, 66-71
summary	A material system can be defined as a set of self-organized materials, defining a certain spatial arrangement. In architecture, this material arrangement acts as a threshold for space, though space often only appears as a by-product of the material organization. Treating space as a resulting, therefore secondary, independent product minimizes the capacity to generate architecture that is astutely aware of concerns of functionality, environment and energy. An effective arrangement of material can only be determined in relation to the spaces that it defines. When proposing a more critical approach, a material system can be seen as an intimate inter-connection and reciprocal exchange between the material construct and the spatial conditions. It is necessary to re-define material system as a system that coevolves spatial and material configurations through analysis of the resultant whole, in a process of integration and evaluation. ¶ With this understanding of material system comes an expansion in the number of criteria that are simultaneously engaged in the evolution of the design. The material characteristics, as well as the spatial components and forces (external and internal), are pressures onto the arrangement of material and space. ¶ This brings a high degree of complexity to the process. Biological systems are built on methods that resolve complex interactions through sets of simple yet extensible rules. Evolutionary Developmental Biology explains how growth is an interconnected process of external forces registering fitness into a fixed catalogue of morphological genetic tools. Translating the specific framework for biological growth into computational processes, allows the pursuit of an architecture that is fully informed by the interaction of space and material.

summary	The Catoptric Surface research project explores methods of reflecting daylight through a building envelope to form an image-based pattern of light on the interior environment. This research investigates the generation of atmospheric effects from daylighting projected onto architectural surfaces within a built environment in an attempt to amplify or reduce spatial perception. The mapping of variable organizations of light onto existing or new surfaces creates a condition where the perception of space does not rely on form alone. This condition creates a visual effect of a formless atmosphere and affects the way people use the space. Often the desired quantity and quality of daylight varies due to factors such as physiological differences due to age or the types of tasks people perform (Lechner 2009). Yet the dominant mode of thought toward the use of daylighting tends to promote a homogeneous environment, in that the resulting lighting level is the same throughout a space. This research project questions the desire for uniform lighting levels in favor of variegated and heterogeneous conditions. The main objective of this research is the production of a unique facade system that is capable of dynamically redirecting daylight to key locations deep within a building. Mirrors in a vertical array are individually adjusted via stepper motors in order to reflect more or less intense daylight into the interior space according to sun position and an image-based map. The image-based approach provides a way to specifically target lighting conditions, atmospheric effects, and the perception of space.

title	A Critical Review on Research Themes and Trends in Green BIM for AEC Sector
source	C+++: Computation, Culture, and Context – Proceedings of the 11th International Conference of the Arab Society for Computation in Architecture, Art and Design (ASCAAD), University of Petra, Amman, Jordan [Hybrid Conference] 7-9 November 2023, pp. 899-916.
summary	Green BIM is an emerging concept in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry that combines Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology with sustainable design principles. This approach emphasizes the importance of integrating green strategies into the design and construction process to improve the environmental performance of buildings. It enables designers, architects, engineers, and contractors to analyze the environmental impact of building materials and systems, simulate energy performance, and optimize the use of resources. The aim of the study is to conduct a bibliometric research and systematic analysis on the concept of 'green BIM'. Web of Science database was used to search for publications containing the term 'green BIM'. 252 relevant publications from the fields of construction building technology, architecture, and urban studies were analyzed. It evaluates research themes and trends in Green BIM in terms of publication and citation numbers, research areas, document types, journals, conferences, and books where publications were published, numbers of publications by country, author and co-authorship analysis, and keyword analysis. The keywords were divided into 9 clusters in the VOSviewer and each cluster was examined under a separate title. These titles are urban design, visual programming, design & construction, sustainability, energy efficiency, life cycle assessment, green BIM, project management and green building assessment. The results show that the most current keywords are being evaluated under the heading of urban studies. This situation highlights that, unlike other academic studies, priority is given to urban-scale applications of green BIM Moreover, apart from urban-scale studies, possible topics for academic research involve Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the integration of BIM in the LEED certification process. Currently, the industry and prominent publications prefer technical studies due to the extensive coverage of general inquiries.

title	The Generative Multi-Performance Design System
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2008.448
source	Silicon + Skin: Biological Processes and Computation, [Proceedings of the 28th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) / ISBN 978-0-9789463-4-0] Minneapolis 16-19 October 2008, 448-457
summary	This paper proposes a framework for an integrated computational design system. This design system builds on the strengths inherent in both generative synthesis models and multi-performance analysis and optimization. Four main design mechanisms and their mathematical models are discussed and their integration proposed. The process of building the design system begins by a top-down decomposition of a design concept. The different disciplines involved are decomposed into modules that simulate the respective design mechanisms. Subsequently through a bottom-up approach, the design modules are connected into a data flow network that includes clusters and subsystems. This network forms the Generative Multi-Performance Design System. This integrated system acts as a holistic structured functional unit that searches the design space for satisfactory solutions. The proposed design system is domain independent. Its potential will be demonstrated through a pilot project in which a multi-performance space planning problem is considered. The results are then discussed and analyzed.

source	SIGraDi 2004 - [Proceedings of the 8th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Porte Alegre - Brasil 10-12 november 2004
summary	The supremacy of the digital means of representation and communication and the resulting shift of the manual means in the field of design and architecture, have engendered multiple opinions and literature. They focus and analyze the virtues and risks, the losses and substitutions, and the different expressive, productive and conceptual results of their leading role in the creative process. Furthermore, if we consider both as two extremes, apparently opposed, a broad panorama of combinations and additions are produced by the emerging group of hybrid practices. This motivated the development of a research project in the Universidad Nacional del Litoral de Santa Fe, Argentina, under the Program CAI+D 2000 dealing with Design and the Analog – Digital Means. From this project emerged a collection of conceptual speculations and experimentations in the extended field of representation, extended by the incorporation of new means and hybridations, searching for new parameters and methods for professional training and practice. Key words: analog, digital, graphics, means, representation.

title	Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in Practice: A Comprehensive Investigation into the Utilization of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in Architectural Practice
source	C+++: Computation, Culture, and Context – Proceedings of the 11th International Conference of the Arab Society for Computation in Architecture, Art and Design (ASCAAD), University of Petra, Amman, Jordan [Hybrid Conference] 7-9 November 2023, pp. 324-343.
summary	This study offers a comprehensive investigation into the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies within architectural practices. Since the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD), technology has had a significant impact on the way architects conduct their work. This study explores the potential of AI/ML in actual architectural workflows, with a particular emphasis on the capacity of deep neural networks to assist in the design process.The outcome will help to develop a clearer picture of the opportunities and barriers associated with AI for architects; they will also inform the prioritization of focus for future development of this technology in architectural practice, as well as identifying the specific tasks and project phases in which ML could play a role. This research reviewed literature to explore various approaches for applying AI/ML technologies within the field of architecture. Also , complemented by a number of interviews to investigate the ways in which participants are currently using AI/ML in their work, framing the current feedback and the future potential of AI/ML technologies in architecture. The data collection methods adopted involved semi-structured one-on-one interviews with professionals from multi-regional architecture firms and AI developers. The architects interviewed exhibited diverse ways of benefiting from AI/ML technology, with varying approaches and some common trends. The findings demonstrate that AI has played a pivotal role in expediting the design process and enhancing visualization within the field. However, it has also raised concerns, particularly in the realm of privacy.

title	Body\|Form\|Space: Geometric translations of the body in motion
source	Em‘body’ing Virtual Architecture: The Third International Conference of the Arab Society for Computer Aided Architectural Design (ASCAAD 2007), 28-30 November 2007, Alexandria, Egypt, pp. 431-438
summary	This paper presents a novel approach to digital investigation of body, space, form and motion to expose issues of spatial perception. The spatial experience as generated from, and translated by, the human body is the focus of this work. The work explores the representational value of the body’s sense-image, the context and spatial/visual literacy of the learned sense of space-time generated from the study of the human body. Here the body is conceived not just in space but also in time, affording the ability to reinterpret the body and it’s dynamic motion engaged not as a static condition, but as a set of event spaces. Motion here is defined as a multiplicity of continuities that can be subdivided by artificial boundaries that describe space, time and body. The study of a series of bodies and movements is described that explore the human condition as a series of differential lines (form + time) and framed structures (bodies + motion). The intention is to examine the relationship between human form and metaphysical simultaneity as generators of architectural form. The work is structured by a research approach that dissects and isolates the representational concept/image from the body in a way that might offer an alternative description to the traditional historic models.

title	Interactive Virtual Construction ‚ A Case Study of Building Component Assembly towards the adoption of BIM and VR in Business and Training
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.2.547
source	Jeroen van Ameijde, Nicole Gardner, Kyung Hoon Hyun, Dan Luo, Urvi Sheth (eds.), POST-CARBON - Proceedings of the 27th CAADRIA Conference, Sydney, 9-15 April 2022, pp. 547-556
summary	Present day building product manufacturers face difficulties in scaling businesses. Key decisions surrounding technology adoption are typically measured against feasibility of use and long-term profit. Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR) provide the potential for teaching building product assembly to employees and construction contractors. This eliminates the need for deploying training personnel to job sites, reduces manufacturing carbon footprint and wastes in product samples required for training. VR content development is difficult and performance within VR applications must be near reality in order to improve adoption of such technology through training. This exploratory study investigates important factors that enhance adoption in business cases through training. We developed an innovative BIM+VR prototype for SwiftWall; a temporary wall manufacturing company, highlighting rigorous processes for in-house BIM anatomy and VR development. This paper provides a step-by-step approach to replicate the prototype. The prototype was tested in several demonstration sessions. The approximate time to install 40 linear feet of SwiftWall is 30-minutes at the simplest level. This timing is equivalent to 28 linear feet installation in 21-minutes achieved with the BIM+VR prototype demonstration. The matching timing results show a significant potential for adoption in business, improved sustainability and employee training from a time and cost-efficient standpoint. Concerns and key issues from development to deployment are discussed in detail. The BIM+VR virtual construction prototype provides adoption potential for training remote partners thereby increasing possibilities of SwiftWall scaling to distributors and product carriers across a larger geographic region.

summary	Architectural Education faces limitations due to its tactile approach to learning in classrooms with only 2-D and 3-D tools. At a higher level, virtual reality provides a potential for delivering more information to individuals undergoing design learning. This paper investigates a hypothesis establishing grounds towards a new research in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR). The hypothesis is projected to determine best practices for content creation and tactile object virtual interaction, which potentially can improve learning in architectural & construction education with a less costly approach and ease of access to well-known buildings. We explored this hypothesis in a step-by-step game design demonstration in VR, by showcasing the exploration of the Farnsworth House and reproducing assemblage of the same with different game levels of difficulty which correspond with varying BIM levels of development (LODs). The game design prototype equally provides an entry way and learning style for users with or without a formal architectural or construction education seeking to understand design tectonics within diverse or cross-disciplinary study cases. This paper shows that developing geometric abstract concepts of design pedagogy, using varying LODs for game content and levels, while utilizing newly developed features such as snap-to-grid, snap-to-position and snap-to-angle to improve user engagement during assemblage may provide deeper learning objectives for architectural precedent study.

summary	This paper presents a design methodology for concrete façade panels that takes into consideration constraints related to digital fabrication machinery. A computational method for the real-time evaluation of industrial mold-making techniques, such as milling and hot wire cutting, was developed. The method rapidly evaluates the feasibility, material use, and machining time of complex geometry molds for architectural façade elements. Calculation speed is achieved by mathematically approximating CAM-machining operations. As results are obtained in nearly real time, the method can be easily incorporated into the architectural design process during its initial stages, when changes to the design are more effective. In the paper, we describe the algorithms of the computational evaluation method. We also show how it can be used to introduce fabrication considerations into the design process by using it to rationalize several types of panels. Additionally, we demonstrate how the method can be used in complex, large-scale architectural projects to save machining time and materials by evaluating and altering the paneling subdivision.

summary	The systems of deployable structures domes with straight bars are directly related to the geometry of solids. They are lightweight, modular, and transformable systems. This research relates to the design of deployable structures with articulated straight bars, with the purpose of being habitable and offering a solution to the light and traditional architecture. In particular, it refers to the design of deployable domes with articulated straight bars, starting from the transformation of the icosahedron using deployable hexagonal modules. With the possibility of changing its scale when increasing its frequency. In addition, has aims at a parametric design method for deployable domes or shells with straight bars of equal articulated dimension, stabilized with a flexible or rigid architectural covering. The process is defined as quick assembly. The optimization method employed is based on transforming the icosahedron and varying its frequencies. The process consists of optimizing deployable hexagonal modules with bars of equal length following geodesic patterns. Using visual programming algorithms using Rhinoceros + Grasshopper, geometric optimization results are achieved with deployable hexagonal modules applied to different dome frequencies. The system offers efficient solutions to temporary shelters, portable greenhouses, scenarios for medium and large-scale events, and everything related to light and transformable architecture.
