title	Testing the relevance of parameterization to architectural epistemology
source	Architectural Science Review, Volume 52.2: 135-141
summary	Advances in building information modeling (BIM) deeply impact the production of new architecture; its benefits are obvious and its acceptance widespread. But how does BIM impact the study of existing architecture? Can BIM be assumed to operate as a neutral framework, equally applicable to the study of architecture anywhere? Using as a point of departure a recent outline of the conceptual structure of parametric modeling prepared by Sacks, Eastman, and Lee (2004), this paper compares parametric models of two existing works of architecture: Mies van der Rohe’s Crown Hall and Peter Zumthor’s St. Benedict Chapel. The processes of parametrically modeling each building are specifically compared in two ways: first, parameters are established for each model; second, each model is "flexed" as a means of disclosing possible semantic relationships within each work of architecture. Because each building demands a different parameter-establishment strategy, and because the models permit different degrees of flexibility, the comparison illustrates the shortcomings of a "neutral framework" assumption to an architectural epistemology.

title	Is An On-Virtu Digital Sketching Encironment Cognitively Identical To In-Situ Free-Hand Sketching?
source	Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / Yunlin (Taiwan) 22-25 April 2009, pp. 473-482
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2009.473
summary	This study demonstrates that an on-virtu digital sketching environment is cognitively almost identical to in-situ free-hand sketching. The former can support the designers’ drawing activities with good resolution, and can provide remote communication in a face-to-face atmosphere. The study’s empirical examination of the environment rested on protocol analysis and coding schemes of the design-prototype and the reflection-in-action. The results indicate that the two environments are similar in terms of design-process speed, design process, and design content. The results provide implications for CAD and design practice.
