summary	Peripheral devices like smart phones offer an opportunity to lower the barrier to spontaneous collection and sharing of information during distributed collaboration. We have completed development of guidelines and a framework that focuses on peripheral devices in collaboration. In order to explore the design space generated by our principles, we conducted a role-playing experiment about commissioning a building, in which an “on-site” team and a “design” team were expected to find and resolve discrepancies between requirements, design documents, and the actual site. The teams were given Styrofoam panels to act as pretend smart peripherals to invoke play and help probe the design space. We found that “reflection on action” (debriefing and subsequent brainstorming) was fruitful for ideation and theorem building about interaction, but “reflection in action” failed. Yet, reflection in action, particularly with such probes, is important to capture the “mechanics of collaboration”. Therefore, we are considering adapting improvisational theatre to our study of distributed collaboration.

title	BIM e Desempenho no Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida - PMCMV [BIM and Performance in the Brazilian Dwelling Program “My Home My Life”]

summary	This paper describes the current stage of an ongoing research developed at Mackenzie Presbyterian University, with support of FINEP, to use information and communication technologies (ICT) for the production of affordable houses in Brazil, focusing on the government’s program “Minha Casa Minha Vida” (My Home My Life – MCMV). Here we highlight the specific issue of adapting and extending the current BIM library of components provided by the Ministry of Development, Industry and Trade (MDIC), since the validity of the standard NBR 15575/13, which as of 2013, will guide the production of buildings in Brazil through strict performance requirements. We make a brief summary of the MCMV program, the terms of the standard and the structure of that library and then present guidelines for adapting and extending the existing components, taking into account international examples and the requirements from the new standard. As a result, we expect the revised components will facilitate the work of professionals in the building industry when designing and planning buildings.

title	Innovación por el usuario en la construcción y el diseño digital: La relación entre herramientas BIM standard y requerimientos específicos de los usuarios [User Innovation in Digital Design and Construction: The Relation Between Standard BIM Tools and Specific User Requirements]

summary	BIM tools are being adopted in many different countries, in a wide range of types of projects, and by professionals from different disciplines. Consequently, the requirements of its users are becoming heterogeneous, hindering the development of BIM tools that can satisfy all of them. Utilizing the user innovation theory as the framework of analysis, the paper examines whether and how BIM users are adapting the technology to their requirements. Through the study of eight cases from different contexts of use, the work analyzes the process of user innovation in BIM with two main objectives: first, to recognize whether there is that type of innovation, and second, to understand how it is developed.

title	Modular Digital Tectonics: Algorithmic Optimization of a Glass Component Wall for a Customized Fabrication Method
source	Global Design and Local Materialization[Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures / ISBN 978-3-642-38973-3] Shanghai, China, July 3-5, 2013, pp. 130-138.
summary	This paper examines the implications of digital fabrication techniques on design and tectonics, through the example of a double-curvature glass-brick wall, designed and constructed in the context of ongoing research on modular tectonics by the architectural practice of Archi-Union. The high level of form complexity posed a great challenge for fabrication and gave rise to an alternate solution: customization and prefabrication of the supporting steel frame through a CNC rod-bending machine output a robust structure which allowed for accurate and fast placement of the bricks, thus minimizing costs, construction time and preserving design integrity. Therefore, the design orientated towards fabrication, and an algorithmic method that took into consideration production parameters was developed to optimize the structure. Realization of this prototype helps support our methodology for control of complexity in non-standard geometries which is based on adapting the design approach to customized fabrication methods.

title	Aggregate Architecture: Simulation Models for Synthetic Non-convex Granulates

summary	Aggregate Architectures challenge the common notion of architectural structures as being immutable, permanent and controllable. Aggregate Architectures are understood as material systems consisting of large masses of granules—designed or natural—interacting with each other only through loose, frictional contact. As a consequence, they take the realm of structural stability and architectural planning into entire re-configurability and into merely probable predictions of their prospective behavior. This renders them relevant within the paradigm of Adaptive Architecture.The challenge to the designer is to move away from thinking in terms of clearly defined local and global assembly systems and to acquire tools and modes of design that allow for observation and interaction with the evolving granular architectures. In this context, the focus of the presented researchproject is on the relevance of mathematically based simulations as tools of investigation and design.The paper introduces the field of Aggregate Architectures. Consequently experimental and simulation methods for granulates will be outlined and compared. Different modeling and collision-detection methods for non-convex particles are shown and applied in benchmarking simulations for a full-scale architectural prototype. The potential for micro-mechanical simulation analysis within architectural applications are demonstrated and further areas of research outlined.

title	Automated Architecture: Why CAD, Parametrics and Fabrication are Really old News
source	SIGraDi 2013 [Proceedings of the 17th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-7051-86-1] Chile - Valparaíso 20 - 22 November 2013, pp. 83 - 87
summary	Automation is transforming a significant number of industries today. This paper discusses how the Design and Construction industry is also entering into a new era of automation. In the paper I observe that designers are automating by using parametric tools (BIM, scripting, etc.) while contractors are moving into pre-fabrication and modularization. Both conceptualizations are incomplete. The paper presents how we are in the first steps of creating learning algorithms that develop specific intelligence in design synthesis and how the design field will became even more sophisticated as a second generation of multi-material 3D printing techniques produce new materials.

summary	This paper investigates making as a process that brings together diverse materials and combines their flow in anticipation of what might emerge. Ingold calls this approach the textility of making, which gives priority to the formation of materials as a process, in which form is generated through interventions within fields of forces and currents of materials and not through a predefined notion of an ideal outcome , opposes the Aristotelian “hylomorphic approach” which focuses on final products.

title	Morphological Behavior of Shape Memory Polymers Toward a Deployable, Adaptive Architecture

summary	Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) are an emerging class of “smart materials” that have dual-shape capability. They are able to undergo significant deformation when exposed to an external stimulus such as heat or light. SMPs have been widely investigated within the biomedicine and aerospace industries; however, their potential has yet to be explored within an architectural framework. The research presented in this paper begins an investigation into the morphological behavior ofSMPs toward a deployable, adaptive architecture. The structure’s ease of assembly, compact storage, transportability and configurable properties offer promising applications in emergency and disaster relief shelters, lightweight recreational structures and a variety of other applications in the temporary construction and aerospace industry. This paper explores the use of SMPs through the development of a dynamic actuator that links a series of interconnected panels creating overall form to a self-standing structure. The shape-shifting behavior of the SMP allows the dynamic actuator to become flexible when storage and transportability are required. Alternatively, when exposed to the appropriate temperature range, the actuator is capable of returning to its memorized state for on-site deployment. Through a series ofprototypes, this paper will provide a fundamental understanding of the SMP’s thermo-mechanicalproperties toward deployable, adaptive architecture.

title	POP-OP: A Shape Memory-Based Morphing Wall
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 11 - no. 3, 347-362
summary	Recent tendencies in architecture take a unique point of view, with aesthetically novel and unnatural sensibilities emerging from a close scrutiny and study of apparently natural systems. These tendencies are being driven by mathematical and computational abstractions that transform the way we understand the matterinformation relationship. This project was inspired by Op Art, a twentieth century art movement and style in which artists sought to create an impression of movement on an image surface by means of an optical illusion. Passive elements consisting of composite laminates were produced with the goal of creating lightweight, semi-rigid, and nearly transparent pieces. The incorporation of active materials comprised a unique aspect of this project: the investigation of surface movement through controlled and repeatable deformation of the composite structure using shape memory alloy (SMA) wiring technology. The integration of composite materials with SMA wiring and Arduino automation control resulted in an architectural wall that incorporated perceptual and actual motion.

title	3 Scales of Repurposed Disposability – Diversion of Construction, Renovation and Demolition (CRD)

summary	Project managers and construction contractors have long recognized the importance of reducing waste and salvaging high value construction and demolition materials such as copper and other metals. Contractors are usually careful about the quantity of materials ordered, how materials are used and how to carefully deconstruct valuable materials. In most cases however, materials that are more difficult to separate and that are worth less per unit weight are still going to landfill, even when they are present in large quantities. This represents an inefficient use of natural resources and uses up landfill capacity unnecessarily. Unfortunately, some contractors do not realize that there are new opportunities for waste minimization, while others are reluctant to implement environmental practices because they believe these practices will increase their project costs. Most contractors are concerned about the cost of the labour that is needed to deconstruct materials for reuse or recycling. However, it has been shown that effective waste management during CRD projects not only helps protect the environment, but can also generate significant economic savings. Various projects from within our practice and within our academic curriculum will be brought into the attention of this paper. Specifics of modularity, form/fit/analysis, fabrication, and off-site production, will be demonstrated within the larger discussion through the focus onto three case studies.

summary	This paper outlines a methodology that enables the construction of complex surface forms resulting from computational design processes by manual means using non-industrial materials. The methodology is based on the craft process of weaving whereby a three-dimensional form can be produced using a flexible, linear material. Construction information from a three-dimensional digital model is communicated tocraftspersons through a set of two-dimensional drawings outlining the sequence of construction and requiring only linear dimensions.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2013.243
summary	This paper presents the design of a novel material system with sensing, form-changing and luminous capacities for responsive and kinetic architecture. This aim is explored and evaluated through an experimental design investigation in the form of an architectural skin. Through experimentation with alternative materials and a rigorous process of designing the responsive material systems,a new architectural skin, namely Blanket, emerged from this research. The newly developed responsive material system is an amalgamation of silicone rubbers and glowing pigments, molded and fabricated in a prescribed way—embedded with shape memory alloys on a tensegrity skeletal structure to achieve the desired morphing properties and absorb solar energy to glow in the dark.Thus, the design investigation explores the potential of the use of form-changing materials with capacitance sensing, energy absorbing and illumination capabilities for a morphing architectural skin that is capable of responding to proximity and lighting stimuli. This lightweight, flexible and elastic architectural morphing skin is designed to minimize the use of discrete mechanical components. It moves towards an integrated “synthetic” morphing architecture that can sense and respond to environmental and occupancy conditions.

title	Knowledge-based methodology for architectural robotics fabrication. Real time impact assessment through a process flow analysis software
source	FUTURE TRADITIONS [1st eCAADe Regional International Workshop Proceedings / ISBN 978-989-8527-03-5], University of Porto, Faculty of Architecture (Portugal), 4-5 April 2013, pp. 229-236
summary	The main goal of the project is to generate a framework for a knowledge-based-methodology (KBM) within a parametric software. This is accomplished through a combination of the design software and robot simulation with real-time assessment based on a process-flow-diagram (PFD) structure that compiles the main environmental parameters of the manufacture process. The intention is to create a methodology to directly report the impact of the manufacture of a specific design, from the materials embodied energy to the energy consumption of each step. This framework provides valuable information which may monitor the developer towards alterations to increase the CAD/CAM performance. In the context of this paper, this methodology was applied in the conceptual design and manufacture of a housing structural insulated panel prototype using parametric design software and robotic equipment. The purpose is to generate a quasi-automated design process linked with real-time analysis and assessment of the fabrication process, offering real time environmental and cost analysis of a panelized structure house manufacture logic. The suggested methodology outputs information to compare and optimize the manufacture outline, and supports the screening and assortment of appropriate tool paths or combination of fabrication tools based on environmental/cost data, user-specified requirements and context characteristics.

summary	The creation of an algorithm that will allow the quantitative accuracy of inputs, related to the Brazilian reality, inside the BIM platform will cause a decrease of the public costs of work. However, in this article only focus on how you can modify internally the BIM system platform for achieving the quantitative goals in planning materials. The new tool of construction planning and scheduling when using BIM systems's contribution, through the external database, will provide the construction control based on composition of inputs along the time that will allow a more economical execution to ensure the efficiency of public buildings.

summary	Oil-driven development and globalization in the Middle-Eastern Gulf Region in the 1970s induced a rupture in an already attenuated indigenous crafts and material culture. Simultaneously, it brought an influx of people from around the Middle East and beyond—creating a pan-Arabic cultural melting pot. The introduction of digital fabrication equipment at one university in the UAE has provided the opportunity to reconsider the region’s material traditions. Through a required furniture design course, and more recently an elective entitled Form, Furniture and Graphics, architecture, interior design and graphic design students have begun to grapple with the intersection of a critical design process and the needs of particular local cultural conditions. Students have utilized one (or more) of the following approaches to semantically and digitally reconsider Gulf material traditions: pattern paneling, text-based manipulations, morphing of historical typologies.

summary	Bi-tonal and non-photorealistic architectural depictions can be employed to develop a narrative that engages the reader with both visual aspects and other emotional reactions. Using this story-telling approach to communicate architectural design is subsequently not only represented through its factual dimensions of length, width and height, materials, structure or technical details, but is extended to intangible sensorial realms, which gains special value for laypersons and professional alike. This paper presents how architects and laypersons develop a narrative of their architectural design proposals or concepts using a visualisation and story-telling tools that generates designs akin to Japanese cartoons or manga. Our paper presents the methodology, the instruments used and highlights on the base of representative samples of how narrative bitonal depictions of architecture contributes to the overall understanding of an architectural design and how non tangible factors aid the designers in their communication.

title	Hierarchy in Knitted Forms: Environmentally Responsive Textiles for Architecture

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2013.361
summary	This paper describes the theoretical framework behind the development of a series of knitted prototypes inspired by the biomimetic model of the hygromorph. Three moisture responsive pieces are described which use the inherent properties of wood veneer as an actuator incorporated into complex knitted forms constructed from linen and wool. These textile/veneer assemblies are environmentally responsive, transformable and constructed from natural, sustainable materials. This represents a new interpretation of shape changing textiles for architecture. The work illustrates the potential of designing hierarchically organised structures where functionalities are incorporated at different levels of material fabrication. The paper argues that the implementation of textile materials and processes offers the potential for the development of environmentally responsive architecture through the development of shape changing textile/veneer assemblies.

summary	As disciplines converge and new capabilities are developed for programmable materials and self-assembly across length scales and industrial applications, designers will need new models for understanding the fundamental principles within this new paradigm. This paper outlines the key ingredients for self-assembly through a number of recent projects including the BioMolecular Self-Assembly and Chiral Self-Assembly projects. Further possibilities of non-deterministic self-assembly will be highlighted through asymmetrical units, nucleus models and hierarchical assemblies. Finally, opportunities for high-yield self-assembly and future applications for manufacturing and construction scenarios will be outlined. Self-assembly offers a glimpse into a future world of highly programmable, intelligent materials that promise far more adaptive, resilient and efficient built environments.
