summary	The following pages show a selection of studio projects which explore the opportunistic collaborative process between commercial fabricators, material sponsorships, and the institution. The articles speaks about the intersection of design experimentation and significance of fabrication within the contained process of [design \| optimisation \| fabrication]. Within this process the article intersects between practice, commercialisation, and design-research, into the development arena of architectural academic outcomes. The demonstrating fact within much of the research and development also touches upon intricate details of modularity, and designing with optimisation in mind for the purpose (and ease) of fabrication, prototyping, and ‘real-life’ production. While the focus of the academic studios deliberates and uses parametric design systems through digital and analogue modelling to contribute to a full scale designed installation, and actively working with a commercial fabricator and material sponsor (Luxx Newhouse & LG Hausys HI-MACS). The aim of the courses were to acquaint students with theoretical and practical conditions needed for the creating of experimental relational modularity between geometry, scale, and materials as well as the ability to negotiate between quick intuitive studies and definitive quantifiable decisions.

title	Robotic Plaster Carving: Formalizing subtractive detailing of plaster surfaces for construction and crafts
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.1.397
source	Dokonal, W, Hirschberg, U and Wurzer, G (eds.), Digital Design Reconsidered - Proceedings of the 41st Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2023) - Volume 1, Graz, 20-22 September 2023, pp. 397–406
summary	Plaster has been a fundamental material in numerous interior and exterior applications in architectural construction due to its fire-resistant properties and capabilities for intricate detailing. Moreover, prior to the widespread adoption of computer-aided design tools, plaster played a crucial role in historic preservation and architectural education (Mankouche & Schulte, 2012). While the use of decorative plaster elements in architectural construction has waned in popularity, the renewed interest in plaster within the context of advanced robotic fabrication offers a compelling basis for research. This paper presents an investigation into robotic plaster carving for adding detail and texture to plaster surfaces. Within the scope of this study, we identify and systematically examine various fabrication and material parameters for emergent geometries and fabrication defects, subsequently formalizing this robotic workflow for diverse applications in construction and crafts. Among these parameters, we primarily concentrate on toolpath geometry, tool orientation, carving speed, carving profile, and aggregation of carving strokes. Through this bottom-up approach, our objective is to enhance the understanding of tool-material interaction during the fabrication process and achieve improved control over the resulting artifact. Building on these insights, we demonstrate how the proposed robotic plaster carving workflow can be employed for subtractive surface detailing in architectural construction and digital crafts.

title	Digital system of tools for public participation and education in urban design: Exploring 3D ICC
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2012.1.383
source	Achten, Henri; Pavlicek, Jiri; Hulin, Jaroslav; Matejovska, Dana (eds.), Digital Physicality - Proceedings of the 30th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1 / ISBN 978-9-4912070-2-0, Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Architecture (Czech Republic) 12-14 September 2012, pp. 383-392
summary	This article is a starting point for the development of experiential urban co-design interfaces to enhance public participation in local urban projects and to be also used as a communication and collaboration tool in urban design. It is based on the previous research involving 3D city models utilized as understandable design interfaces for the non-technical public (Jutraz, Zupancic, 2011), where we have already explored different views (pedestrian, intermediate and bird’s-eye view), as well as the means by which the information obtained from these different views may be combined by shifting between viewpoints. Previous work was conducted in the “street lab” as well as the Urban Experimental Lab, which was developed specifi cally for the public’s participation in urban planning (Voigt, Kieferle, Wössner, 2009). Presented in this article is the next step that explores the immersive collaboration environment 3D ICC [1], formerly known as Teleplace. The environment was developed for effi cient collaboration and remote communication and shifts the research focus towards questions regarding how to employ both labs as interfaces between the non-technical public and design professionals. As we are facing the lack of digital systems for public participation and education in urban design, different digital tools for communication and collaboration should be combined into a new holistic platform for design. A digital system of tools needs to be developed that supports the urban design decision-making process and focuses on improved final solutions and increased satisfaction amongst all participants. In this article the system of digital tools for public participation, which include communication, collaboration and education, will be also defi ned, with its basic characteristics and its elements.

summary	Current emerging urban infrastructure increasingly depends on control systems and the understanding and application of these systems in design can create re-imagined urban spaces. The use of this technical fi eld of mechatronics in architecture requires interdisciplinary collaboration and a working understanding of control systems, sensors and actuators. Through a research and related graduate design studio, this paper discusses the potential for reimagining urban infrastructure in relation to the electric vehicle recharging process. The new infrastructure of the electric vehicle recharging station provides an interruptive urban site for applying the technology as well as for developing synergistic adjacent programs.

title	Architectural Sociability as a Strategy to Drive Technology Integrations into Architectural Structures and Smart Environments
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 10 - no. 2, 301-318
summary	Traditional architectural design fulfills the basic needs of society, but its influence as a system to facilitate personal connection has declined with the growth of telecommunications and social networks.The advance of interactive architecture is now positioning buildings to once again fulfill the role as facilitator of connections and fulfill our personal need of belonging.While current attempts to integrate social communication, technology with built environments are nominally effective; Architectural Sociability is proposed as an effective design solution. Strategy details include a purpose based social approach in which social networks, localized data streams, ubiquitous computing, pervasive networks, and smart environments are considered a traditional part of an architectural structure.

title	Funicular Structures using Topological Assemblies
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.1.075
source	D. Holzer, W. Nakapan, A. Globa, I. Koh (eds.), RE: Anthropocene, Design in the Age of Humans - Proceedings of the 25th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 1, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, 5-6 August 2020, pp. 75-84
summary	Presented work is inspired by the research on funicular structures by Block Research Group and customising bricks by the first author. The research is focused on developing a mortarless construction system for funicular structures using topological assemblies on site. To make the proposed system financially viable in the India, it is suggested to limit the customisation of the topological modules. Topological assemblies interlock with its contact surfaces (Tessman, 2012). Further these force locked elements are kinematically constrained using an extrados post tensioning. As a result, the system is stable not only in complete compression, but it can also withstand lateral loads and vertical upliftment. Additionally, it is quick to assemble and dismantle the structure without foundation and by using minimum scaffolding. Therefore, the construction system can be used to build a range of temporary as well as permanent structures like temporary exhibition halls, emergency shelters, earthquake resistant structures, etc.

title	Point Cloud Segmentation for Building Reuse - Construction of digital twins in early phase building reuse projects
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.327
source	Dokonal, W, Hirschberg, U and Wurzer, G (eds.), Digital Design Reconsidered - Proceedings of the 41st Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2023) - Volume 2, Graz, 20-22 September 2023, pp. 327–336
summary	Point cloud processing has come a long way in the past years. Advances in computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) have enabled its automated recognition and processing. However, few of those developments have made it through to the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Here, optimizing those workflows can reduce time spent on early-phase projects, which otherwise could be spent on developing innovative design solutions. Simplifying the processing of building point cloud scans makes it more accessible and therefore, usable for design, planning and decision-making. Furthermore, automated processing can also ensure that point clouds are processed consistently and accurately, reducing the potential for human error. This work is part of a larger effort to optimize early-phase design processes to promote the reuse of vacant buildings. It focuses on technical solutions to automate the reconstruction of point clouds into a digital twin as a simplified solid 3D element model. In this paper, various ML approaches, among others KPConv Thomas et al. (2019), ShapeConv Cao et al. (2021) and Mask-RCNN He et al. (2017), are compared in their ability to apply semantic as well as instance segmentation to point clouds. Further it relies on the S3DIS Armeni et al. (2017), NYU v2 Silberman et al. (2012) and Matterport Ramakrishnan et al. (2021) data sets for training. Here, the authors aim to establish a workflow that reduces the effort for users to process their point clouds and obtain object-based models. The findings of this research show that although pure point cloud-based ML models enable a greater degree of flexibility, they incur a high computational cost. We found, that using RGB-D images for classifications and segmentation simplifies the complexity of the ML model but leads to additional requirements for the data set. These can be mitigated in the initial process of capturing the building or by extracting the depth data from the point cloud.
