title Open architectural design: an approach to managing complexity and uncertainty in an open design process
source Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / Hong Kong 7-10 April 2010, pp. 629-638

summary By open exchange of ideas and artifacts and non apriori hierarchical processes, Open Strategies enable a better usage of distributed resources, and the release of more creative potential. Applying these Open Strategies to the architectural design process, is goal of our project. The technical basis for our research is FREAC, a software framework developed in-house which provides a collaboration space for co-operation between different users and tools. This framework is designed not just for exchanging the outcome of the design process but also for opening up the design process itself and making it more transparent. Such highly open and distributed design processes, however, also present new problems and uncertainties which need to be taken into account in order to reach successful design outcomes. As a result proposals for the management of such processes need to be developed that facilitate collaborative work but do not unnecessarily constrain the inherent complexity of the design process. The actor-network theory, and other different management concepts, provides a theoretical underpinning for our approach. The project is a collaboration between the fields of computer science in architecture and media management.

title Mapas conceituais e o projeto colaborativo para arquitetura sustentável: ensaios para habitação de interesse social no Brasil [Concept mapping and the collaborative project for sustainable architecture: social housing testing in Brazil]
source SIGraDi 2010_Proceedings of the 14th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, pp. Bogotá, Colombia, November 17-19, 2010, pp. 88-91
summary The concept maps built and shared on the internet through the CmapTools software resources were used in this exploratory study to follow and analyze the process of collaborative design in public school learning situations. The samples, taken from a Brazilian architectural graduate public school, were maps built in housing design projects developed in a digital environment. A constructivist approach supports the learning method in the use of the net environment for collaborative design of sustainable social housing. This is the base for further development of alternative methodological - theoretical approaches in the context of teaching sustainable design.

title Segmentación de imágenes digitales mediante técnicas de clustering complementadas con técnicas de crecimiento de regiones [Digital image segmentation through clustering techniques, enhanced by region growing techniques]
source SIGraDi 2010_Proceedings of the 14th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, pp. Bogotá, Colombia, November 17-19, 2010, pp. 324-327
summary This paper proposes a solution to the problem of digital image segmentation based on clustering techniques. K - means and fuzzy k - means are clustering algorithms detailed within this study. We propose novel modifications to k - means and fuzzy k - means algorithms to vary objective functions and to use color difference as a distance measure. These new algorithms are guaranteed to obtain the same results as the originals while considerably reducing the execution time. Pixel growing is used to obtain connected structures in the results of clustering algorithms.

title Tecnologias para integração e colaboração: o projeto da casa solar brasileira [Technologies for integration and collaboration: the Brazilian solar house design]
source SIGraDi 2010_Proceedings of the 14th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, pp. Bogotá, Colombia, November 17-19, 2010, pp. 268-271
summary The Solar Decathlon is an academic competition of houses powered exclusively by the sun. Around twenty university teams have been called on to build more sustainable and efficient solar houses. This paper presents some challenges of the design and construction process of the Brazilian team for the Solar Decathlon in Europe. The challenges focused on in this paper refer to the search for technologies and strategies for the creative integration and collaboration of more than 100 members from six universities and different research areas. Collaboration is one of the main objectives of the event and probably the greatest challenge among the participant teams.

title A imersão virtual em espaços arquitetônicos e a sua colaboração nas decisões de projeto [Immersion in virtual architectural spaces, and their impact on design decision - making]
source SIGraDi 2010_Proceedings of the 14th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, pp. Bogotá, Colombia, November 17-19, 2010, pp. 301-303
summary Today, with technological advances the way man interacts with the world around him changes every day, bringing our field to the study of perception. For architects it has always been a challenge to represent their projects in view of the architectural object built. This study aimed to understand how immersion in virtual architectural spaces designed will facilitate greater participation of users and architects in design decisions, as well as how virtual immersion may facilitate decisions on collaborative project teams.

title Supporting Collective Intelligence for Design in Virtual Worlds: A Case Study of the Lego Universe
source Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures 2011 [Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures / ISBN 9782874561429] Liege (Belgium) 4-8 July 2011, pp. 637-652.
summary Virtual worlds are multi-faceted technologies. Facets of virtual worlds include graphical simulation tools, communication, design and modelling tools, artificial intelligence, network structure, persistent object-oriented infrastructure, economy, governance and user presence and interaction. Recent studies (Merrick et al., 2010) and applications (Rosenman et al., 2006; Maher et al., 2006) have shown that the combination of design, modelling and communication tools, and artificial intelligence in virtual worlds makes them suitable platforms for supporting collaborative design, including human-human collaboration and human-computer co-creativity. Virtual worlds are also coming to be recognised as a platform for collective intelligence (Levy, 1997), a form of group intelligence that emerges from collaboration and competition among large numbers of individuals. Because of the close relationship between design, communication and virtual world technologies, there appears a strong possibility of using virtual worlds to harness collective intelligence for supporting upcoming “design challenges on a much larger scale as we become an increasingly global and technological society” (Maher et al, 2010), beyond the current support for small-scale collaborative design teams. Collaborative design is relatively well studied and is characterised by small-scale, carefully structured design teams, usually comprising design professionals with a good understanding of the design task at hand. All team members are generally motivated and have the skills required to structure the shared solution space and to complete the design task. In contrast, collective design (Maher et al, 2010) is characterised by a very large number of participants ranging from professional designers to design novices, who may need to be motivated to participate, whose contributions may not be directly utilised for design purposes, and who may need to learn some or all of the skills required to complete the task. Thus the facets of virtual worlds required to support collective design differ from those required to support collaborative design. Specifically, in addition to design, communication and artificial intelligence tools, various interpretive, mapping and educational tools together with appropriate motivational and reward systems may be required to inform, teach and motivate virtual world users to contribute and direct their inputs to desired design purposes. Many of these world facets are well understood by computer game developers, as level systems, quests or plot and achievement/reward systems. This suggests the possibility of drawing on or adapting computer gaming technologies as a basis for harnessing collective intelligence in design. Existing virtual worlds that permit open-ended design – such as Second Life and There – are not specifically game worlds as they do not have extensive level, quest and reward systems in the same way as game worlds like World of Warcraft or Ultima Online. As such, while Second Life and There demonstrate emergent design, they do not have the game-specific facets that focus users towards solving specific problems required for harnessing collective intelligence. However, a new massively multiplayer virtual world is soon to be released that combines open-ended design tools with levels, quests and achievement systems. This world is called Lego Universe (www.legouniverse.com). This paper presents technology spaces for the facets of virtual worlds that can contribute to the support of collective intelligence in design, including design and modelling tools, communication tools, artificial intelligence, level system, motivation, governance and other related facets. We discuss how these facets support the design, communication, motivational and educational requirements of collective intelligence applications. The paper concludes with a case study of Lego Universe, with reference to the technology spaces defined above. We evaluate the potential of this or similar tools to move design beyond the individual and small-scale design teams to harness large-scale collective intelligence. We also consider the types of design tasks that might best be addressed in this manner.

title Projeto Design Condensado: níveis de inteligência associados ao sistema colaborativo dinâmico de visualização de dados [Design project condensed: levels of intelligence associated with the dynamic collaborative system of data visualization]
source SIGraDi 2010_Proceedings of the 14th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, pp. Bogotá, Colombia, November 17-19, 2010, pp. 252-255
summary The “Condensed Design Project” aims to discuss and reflect on how the levels of auxiliary intelligence associated with dynamic collaborative systems of data visualization can help research, organize, manage, analyze and compare dense data amounts of historical facts and events. The main objective is to understand how systems endowed with “auxiliary intelligence” help to assimilate and emulate methods and knowledge of different researchers, and at the same time are able to promote cooperation and research, as well as the study and teaching of design history. And finally, it describes the experience of the use of “specialist system” and “reasoning system based on cases” concepts.
