title	Closing the Loop for Interactive Architecture - Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, and Wearables
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2015.2.623
source	Martens, B, Wurzer, G, Grasl T, Lorenz, WE and Schaffranek, R (eds.), Real Time - Proceedings of the 33rd eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria, 16-18 September 2015, pp. 623-632
summary	Interactive architecture occurs in buildings when part of the building engages in exchange of information with the user, in such a way that the interactive system adjusts it's assumptions about the user's needs and desires. Acquiring the user's needs and desires is no trivial task. Currently there are no techniques that will reliably make such assertions. Building a system that unobtrusively monitors the inhabitant seems to be a tall order, and making the system ask the user all the time is very distracting for the user. An alternative option has become available however: personal wearables are increasingly monitoring the user. Therefore it suffices that the interactive system of the building gets in touch with those wearables, rather than duplicating the sensing function of the wearables. The enabling technology for wearables is Internet of Things, which connects physical objects (smart objects) on a virtual level, and Cloud Computing, which provides a scalable storage environment for wearables and smart objects. In this paper we outline the implications of the convergence of these three technologies in the light of interactive architecture.

title	DMR: A Semantic Robotic Control Language
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2015.2.261
source	Martens, B, Wurzer, G, Grasl T, Lorenz, WE and Schaffranek, R (eds.), Real Time - Proceedings of the 33rd eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria, 16-18 September 2015, pp. 261-268
summary	DMR is a semantic robot-control language that attempts to change our relationship with machines and create true human-robot collaboration through intuitive interfacing. To this end, DMR is demonstrated in the DMR Interface, an Android app, which accepts semantic vocal commands as well as containing a GUI for feedback and verification. This app is combined with a robot-mounted 3D camera to enable robotic interaction with the surroundings or compensate for unpredictable environments. This combination of tools gives users access to adaptive automation whereby a robot is no longer given explicit instructions but instead is given a job to do and will adapt its movements to execute this regardless of any slight changes to the goal or environment. The major advantages of this system come in the vagueness of the instructions given and a constant feedback of task accomplishment, approaching the manner in which we subconsciously control our bodies or would guide another person to achieve a goal.

title	Spatial Nets: the Computational and Material Study of Reticular Geometries
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2015.123
source	ACADIA 2105: Computational Ecologies: Design in the Anthropocene [Proceedings of the 35th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-692-53726-8] Cincinnati 19-25 October, 2015), pp. 123-135
summary	Reticular systems are in many aspects a distinct taxonomy of volumetric geometries. In comparison with the conventional embodiment of a ‘volume’ that encapsulates a certain quantity of space with a shell reticular geometries emerge from the accumulation of micro elements to define a gradient of space. Observed in biological systems, such structures result from their material properties and formation processes as well as often ‘simple’ axioms that produce complex results. In micro or macro levels, from forest tree canopies to plant cell walls these porous volumes are not shaped to have a singular ‘solution’ for a purpose; they provide the fundamental geometric characteristics of a ‘line cloud’ that is simultaneously flexible in response to its environment, porous to other systems (light, air, liquids) and less susceptible to critical damage. The porosity of such systems and their volumetric depth also result in kinetic spatial qualities in a 4D architectural space. Built upon a ‘weaving’ organization and the high performance material properties of carbon fiber composite, this research focuses on a formal grammar that initiates the complex system of a reticular volume. A finite ‘lexical’ axiom is consisted of the basic characters of H, M and L responding to the anchor points on the highest, medium and lower levels of the extruding loom. The genome thus produces a string of data that in the second phase of programming are assigned to 624 points on the loom. The code aims to distribute the nodes across the flat line cloud and organize the sequence for the purpose of overlapping the tensioned strings. The virtually infinite results are then assessed through an evolutionary solver for confining an array of favorable results that can be then selected from by the designer. This research focuses on an approximate control over the fundamental geometric characteristics of a reticular system such as node density and directionality. The proposal frames the favorable result of the weave to be three-dimensional and volumetric – avoiding distinctly linear or surface formations.

summary	This paper has argued that interdisciplinary approach is necessary to get better understanding of the problem within a built heritage area. It is found that inhabitants perceived the mixed heritage architecture as their own, an appreciation also expressed toward perception values of building: uniqueness, aesthetic and age. The research has also shown that inhabitants in the Darmo residential area - Surabaya, Indonesia perceived that their area are worth to be conserve due to the function such as the city amenities and attribute of the shady environment. Taken together, these results suggest that a better understanding of inhabitant’s awareness will contribute to the successful conservation program.

summary	Challenging our contemporary understanding of representation and simulation in architecture SCI-Arc has been developing a unique digital/physical design platform where the relationships between humans, machines and matter are constantly in flux re-calibrating, reshuffling, reordering aligning digital and physical and vis versa. The robot as a technology takes an important role in these new ideation environments. “Live” is an applicaton which enables real-time robotic control and grants the robot substantial agency situating it as an interactive design tool that immediately responds to designed signal and sensor inputs in its environment. Current research explores interactive environments, gesture based human-machine interactions and autonomous agent driven design programs.

summary	This paper presents the results of a systematic review of 13 databases that aimed to identify which rapid prototyping techniques (RP) have been applied to development of tactile maps and tactile models. For this purpose were adopted the key words tactile map; tactile model; tactile scale model; additive manufacturing; digital fabrication; and rapid prototyping. Only 11 results deal with the PR in the manufacture of the devices. As a result of four cases reviewed, there are benefits from psychological and learning fields and also technical such as the resolution of the elements, its legibility and quality control in manufacturing.

title	Adaptive Robot Control - New Parametric Workflows Directly from Design to KUKA Robots
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2015.2.243
source	Martens, B, Wurzer, G, Grasl T, Lorenz, WE and Schaffranek, R (eds.), Real Time - Proceedings of the 33rd eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria, 16-18 September 2015, pp. 243-250
summary	In the past years the creative industry has made great advancements in the area of robotics. Accessible robot simulation and control environments based on visual programming systems such as Grasshopper and Dynamo now allow even novice users to quickly and intuitively explore the potential of robotic fabrication, while expert users can use their programming knowledge to create complex, parametric robotic programs. The great advantage of using visual programming for robot control lies in the quick iterations that allow the user to change both geometry and toolpaths as well as machinic parameters and then simulate the results within a single environment. However, at the end of such an iterative optimization process the data is condensed into a robot control data file, which is then copied over to the robot and thus loses its parametric relationship with the code that generated it. In this research we present a newly developed system that allows a dynamic link between the robot and the controlling PC for parametrically adjusting robotic toolpaths and collecting feedback data from the robot itself - enabling entirely new approaches towards robotic fabrication by even more closely linking design and fabrication.

summary	Within just a few years, industrial robots have become a significant field of research within the creative industry. Due to their inherent multi-functionality they are now being used for a wide range of applications, from conceptualized ideas of human-robot interaction, to interactive media and full-scale fabrication. A significant enabling factor has been the development of designer-centric visual programming environments that make it possible for users from the creative industry to program robotic arms in an accessible and intuitive fashion. In our ongoing research we are exploring new possibilities for industrial robots in the creative industry by branching into two opposite directions: Using custom software to compensate for the limitations of used, cheap industrial robots by outsourcing computation-intensive operations, and developing new interfaces for adaptive robot control, thus dynamically coupling the robot with the visual programming environment itself.

summary	EMOVERE, interdisciplinary project that aims at creating innovative interactive performance, brings together dance, sound and image. Bio-data related to emotions, heart and respiratory rate, are mediated by dancers and gives them control over music and video- mapping on stage. A creative process occurs through successive approaches, where technical possibilities are systematically explored until controlled, then body expression is lead by Alba Emoting, building an artistic discourse. Video-mapping is used for lighting purposes, creating a visual atmosphere for dancers. Fusion of media on stage creates synesthetic scenery where physical and digital aspects combine and interact in a codependent relationship.

title	Smart city and Internet of Things: possible changes in the public space
source	The next city - New technologies and the future of the built environment [16th International Conference CAAD Futures 2015. Sao Paulo, July 8-10, 2015. Electronic Proceedings/ ISBN 978-85-85783-53-2] Sao Paulo, Brazil, July 8-10, 2015, pp. 90-98.
summary	This work aims to investigate the concept of smart city within the Internet of Things (IoT), and analyses possible transformations of urban space in areas of surveillance and control. As already seen regularly in the media, surveillance and control of data on the internet is a problem that affects personal freedom. If similar surveillance system is applied in the Internet of Things, where people, objects and environments are interconnected, exchanging a huge volume of data, the problem substantially increases due the possibility of more control over various aspects of people's lives. The purpose of this paper is to do a critical reflection about the consequences of the smart city regarding the public space and privacy of the inhabitants.

summary	This paper presents part of CORK’EWS, a research work developed within the framework of the Digital Architecture Advanced Program 2012/13 at ISCTE-IUL. The main goal of this investigation was to develop a parametric, customizable and adaptive wall system designed for environmental performance. Moreover, the system is based on standard industrial products: expanded cork blocks produced by Amorim Insulation industries. CAD/CAM resources were the essential tools of the research process, where fundamental and practical knowledge is integrated to understand the microstructure morphological properties of the raw material – cork – and its derivate – natural expanded cork. These properties were upscale and adapted to create a wall with an optimized solar control environmental performance. The result is a digitally fabricated prototype of a new customizable industrial product, adaptable to specific environmental conditions and installation setups being therefore easily commercialized. From microstructural morphology to macroscale construction, the research explores new application possibilities through morphogenesis and opens new possible markets for these customizable products.

title	Tower Revisited: Simultaneous Integration of Tower Subsystems During Conceptual Design Phase
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2015.1.179
source	Martens, B, Wurzer, G, Grasl T, Lorenz, WE and Schaffranek, R (eds.), Real Time - Proceedings of the 33rd eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria, 16-18 September 2015, pp. 179-188
summary	The research presented in this paper formulates the major methodological approach of a recently completed PhD thesis. It is witnessed that the high level of complexity encountered in the initial phase of tower design is not managed in its entirety by establishing connections between multiple design parameters which have the potential to control the performance of all tower subsystems, revealing that presently there is partial integration of tower subsystems during the conceptual design phase. As such, the research focuses on the incorporation of the functional parameters of the tower system with principles of biological models in order to propose computationally generated dynamic systems for the tower typology. The principle aim is to achieve simultaneous integration of tower subsystems which can coherently adapt to their internal and external context during the initial phases of the design process.

summary	Time Magazine, had named the “Person of the Year” to “YOU” (the crowd) in 2006 , due to the infinite potentials of the thousands and millions of ‘yous’ who control the media and financing within the new digital democracy. These same citizens of digital innovation create the new platforms—seen in the early beta developments of Kickstarter, Twitter, Wikipedia, and Facebook—and contribute to the manipulation of international exchange of information and power, creating value propositions beyond the traditional product complexity of the market. Peer exchange and crowd organizational strategy will be used to innovate the built environment, and it is pertinent for “digital” property and “real” property to recognize and benefit from this emergence. Professional codes of conduct, economic values, and legal regulations have become a means to an end of the designing of digital and physical property, as digital barriers lift much of the necessary pre-cautions that is required to govern collaboration. This body of research explores the qualifying factors of open innovation identity between the creators and the consumers, the state of design ethics and ownership uncertainties pertaining to the combinatory methods and mechanisms that employ these technologies.

title	Assisted construction of non-standard wooden walls and envelope structures by parametric modeling
source	The next city - New technologies and the future of the built environment [16th International Conference CAAD Futures 2015. Sao Paulo, July 8-10, 2015. Electronic Proceedings/ ISBN 978-85-85783-53-2] Sao Paulo, Brazil, July 8-10, 2015, pp. 328.
summary	We introduce a parametric modeling method in the field of computer-aided architectural conception, which aims to produce non-standard wooden walls and envelopes with CNC machinery. This method explores the application of polygonal cellular structures (as patterns) on facade and envelope interventions for new and old projects. We innovate by bringing the 3D production environment complexity into the conception model to improve the production of manifold woodworking items by CNC (Computer Numerical Control) 3D fabrication. A recent experimentation, tests the entire workflow from parametric modeling to production of two full-scale prototypes. The results prove the range of inputs offered by the method to be functional, though it needs various improvements in order to optimize parametric modeling and digital fabrication procedures. Future research will focus on treating a wider range of joints via parametric modeling and deal with joint creation regardless wall deformation to expand the morphological approach of non-standard wooden walls design.

summary	This paper presents research on the prototyping of multi-agent systems for architectural design. It proposes a design exploration methodology at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and computer science. The motivation of the work includes exploring bottom up generative methods coupled with optimizing performance criteria including for geometric complexity and objective functions for environmental, structural and fabrication parameters. The paper presents the development of a research framework and initial experiments to provide design solutions, which simultaneously satisfy complexly coupled and often contradicting objectives. The prototypical experiments and initial algorithms are described through a set of different design cases and agents within this framework; for the generation of façade panels for light control; for emergent design of shell structures; for actual construction of reciprocal frames; and for robotic fabrication. Initial results include multi-agent derived efficiencies for environmental and fabrication criteria and discussion of future steps for inclusion of human and structural factors.

summary	This paper discusses the use of parametrization and digital fabrication in architecture proposing a shift from increasing the architect’s control over the final product (determinist paradigm), towards increasing users' interaction. It presents the design process of an experimental interactive object intended to meet the former discussion and test the limits and difficulties that might arise during the process. Such an object was developed by Lagear (UFMG), as a response to the exhibition Homo Faber: Digital Fabrication in Latin America, CAAD FUTURES 2015.

source	ENVISIONING ARCHITECTURE: IMAGE, PERCEPTION AND COMMUNICATION OF HERITAGE [ISBN 978-83-7283-681-6],Lodz University of Technology, 23-26 September 2015, pp.27-38
summary	It is beyond the question that protection of monuments of architecture and its unique beauty, through ‘re-use’ of values, emphasizing the qualities for new, modern function, but with the maximum respect for the original feature and preserving historic substance in the adaptation process is one of the requirements of the twenty first century. The analysis of the example of adapting historical objects - Hugger’s Brewery to a new function, may lead to conclusion whether that adapted object can still be named a historic building. Is it an industrial heritage or is it nothing more than a creation – an artificial space? How far can we go in the ‘re-using’? Where is the boundary?

summary	Shape computation in design is never purely limited to visual aspects and ideally includes material aspects as well. The physicality of designing introduces a wide range of variables for designers to tackle within the design process. We present a simple design exercise realised in four stages where we physically manipulate perforated cardboard sheets as a case to make material variables explicit in the computation. The emphasis is on representing sensory aspects rather than easily quantifiable properties more suitable for simulations. Our explorations demonstrate the use of visual rules to represent actions, variables and form as well as how to control the variables to create new results, both desired and surprising, in materially informed ways.

summary	We analyse the problem of creating didactic material for teaching and evaluating mathematics in the first year of a School of Architecture. By using visual programming, science professor used codes (formulae) to represent in a software their proposals, instead of drawing them themselves. Through this experience we create a database of codes with computational solutions that allows faculty to modify, reuse, visualise and print in the same platform that she students will use while developing their designs. In this way we aim to maximise the link between mathematics and design as fundamental base for the control of complex shapes.
