summary	The outcome of an architectural project is always contingent, dependent upon conditions or events that are not established at the outset. A university design studio does not easily replicate the state of flux which occurs as an architectural commission proceeds. In developing an architectural project, each new situation, whether it be a building code issue, an engineering issue, or a client reaction, must be viewed as an opportunity to further refine and develop the design rather than a hindrance to the outcome. In the design studio I describe in this paper, students test processes which attempt to take advantage of contingent conditions, opening up the design solutions to new possibilities. As a means to open up the design process to new possibilities, this studio introduces the computer as the primary tool for design exploration. Through the computer interface, the work speculates on the possibilities of synergism, defined as the actions of two or more substances or organisms to achieve an effect of which each is individually incapable.' Three synergetic conditions are explored: that between the designer and the computer, that between the designer with computer and designers of previous works of art or architecture, and that between two or more designers working together with the computer. The lack of a predictable result, one that may be obvious or superficial, is a positive byproduct of the synergetic and contingent circumstances under which the designs are developed.

summary	This thesis presents the first basics of an expertsystem to transform a spatial into a structural design. The system thus relates space-allocation techniques and structural design software for stress-engineering. For the implementation Prolog-2 was used. Although in Dutch, the thesis provided background information for more recently written papers for eCAADe (2005) and CAADRIA (2006). The thesis was published as a paper in Design Studies (2006).

title	PHIDIAS II - In Support of Collaborative Design
source	Design Computation: Collaboration, Reasoning, Pedagogy [ACADIA Conference Proceedings / ISBN 1-880250-05-5] Tucson (Arizona / USA) October 31 - November 2, 1996, pp. 147-154

summary	The World Wide Web in combination with Java and Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) create great opportunities for collaboration by distributed design teams. To take advantage of these opportunities, we have begun to create a version of the PHIDIAS hyperCAD system (McCall, Bennett and Johnson 1994) that will support communication and collaboration among designers over the Word Wide Web. PHIDIAS is an intelligent, hypermedia-based system for computer-aided design. Our strategy is to divide PHIDIAS into two parts: 1) a client-side user interface and 2) a server-side hyperCAD database engine. The client-side interface is being implemented using Java and VRML. Implementing the PHIDIAS front-end with Java enables program code distribution via the World Wide Web. VRML provides PHIDIAS with client-side computation and display of 3D graphics.

title	Radiosity & Global Illumination
source	Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Inc., San Francisco, California
summary	Radiosity & Global Illumination is a more theoretical coverage of global illumination. It has less code, but covers more topics than A Programmer's Perspective. In addition to the fundamental radiosity technique, this book discusses issues with control and complexity, and Monte Carlo techniques. Along with Peter Shirley's book, this provides fairly good coverage of the theory and practice of ray tracing based global illumination algorithms.
