title Adaptive Robot Control - New Parametric Workflows Directly from Design to KUKA Robots

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.

title Generative Processes in Tower Design: Simultaneous Integration of Tower Subsystems Through Biomimetic Analogies
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2015.173
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. 173-184
summary The research presented in the paper formulates part of the methodological approach of a recently completed PhD thesis. The principle aim of the thesis 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. In this framework, the tower subsystems are grouped as the structural system, floor system, vertical circulation system, facade system, and environmental system. The paper focuses on the implementation of the specific biomimetic analogies towards the integration of tower subsystems through computationally generated dynamic systems. The biomimetic analogies are the mechanical and organizational properties of branched constructions, the mechanical properties of the bamboo stem, and the micro-structure of the porcupine quill/ hedgehog spine. Each biomimetic analogy is described in relation to the design domain. Methods of employing the mathematical and geometrical principles of the biomimetic analogies during design explorations are elaborated. Outcomes of the design output are outlined and discussed with a concentration on achieving tower subsystem integration, differentiation, and co-adaptation properties.

title Tower Revisited: Simultaneous Integration of Tower Subsystems During Conceptual Design Phase
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2015.1.179

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.

title Real-Time Multi-Zone Building Performance Impacts of Occupant Interaction with Dynamic Façade Systems
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2015.2.669
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. 669-678
summary Recent developments in responsive electroactive materials are increasing the rate at which next-generation façade technologies can respond to environmental conditions, building energy demands, and the actions of building occupants. Simulating the real-time performance of dynamic façade systems is critical for understanding the impacts that occupant response will have on whole-building energy performance and architectural design. This paper describes a method for real-time analysis of the multi-zone building performance impacts of occupant interaction with a dynamic façade system, the Electroactive Dynamic Display System (EDDS). The objective is to optimize EDDS implementation and define system limitations, incorporate EDDS as a dynamic factor in multi-zone building energy analyses, and provide real-time feedback of building performance data based on environmental conditions and occupant interactions. Preliminary results of parametric simulation methods demonstrate the ability of dynamic façade systems to consider real-time occupant interaction in the analysis of daylighting and thermal performance of buildings.

title Relative Positioning
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2015.243
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. 243-250
summary How we understand the world is directly affected by our position in it. Constellations are simply the result of cognitive alignments related to our location in the universe, the horizon simply based on proximity and time. Relative Positioning explores the power of position in architecture: specifically, how Anamorphic projection and perspectival techniques can generate space and challenge our understanding of its form. Architectural illusion and perspectival deceptions have been investigated since antiquity in order to alter the perception of a given space, primarily used in an illusionary or optical manner. However, Anamorphic projection offers the potential to create dynamic spatial experiences that go well beyond simple projections or images/shapes simply painted onto a surface. Within Relative Positioning, architectural form exists in 3-dimensions (real, physical) but is perceived via procession and emergent perceptions based on choreographed alignments and foci—making it possible for a duality of visual perception to occur. Much like the diagonal movement through Villa Savoye or the space created by Matta-Clark’s cut, views and alignments add value, create perceptual shifts. One no longer views the architectural form as a whole, but as a collection of cinematic moments, fragments, serial form: a tension of object-qualities that elicits spatial ambiguity that puts pressure on the ‘real’ and opens up a world of wonder and excitement. This is a new form of collage.

title [2+2] Two Architects and Two Galleries
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2015.2.199
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. 199-206
summary This paper addresses the needs of exhibition curation with the concept of a virtual gallery (which may or may not be translated into reality). Curation is often an overly linear process - as opposed to an iterative exercise, whereby collaboration between stakeholders is somewhat limited by time, distance and the opportunity for virtual communication. This suggests that the implementation of a system for sharing visual data - especially in the real-time mode that a virtual studio might offer - could facilitate a more dynamic and iterative design process, where the design team remains engaged throughout.Two (architectural) designers - from Vienna, Austria and Liverpool, UK - are collaborating to create a process for exhibition design for existing venue, involving international stakeholders in remote locations. The key outcome for this research is to create a framework for future collaborative workflow that enhances the delivery of exhibition design through improved decision-making, without the need for all of the team to have extensive software knowledge.The paper thence reflects on current experience, reporting changes in curatorial processes and suggesting areas of added value that might benefit future works.

summary The number of variables acting upon urban landscapes is numerous and interconnected, closely resembling complex systems in constant dynamic transformation. Current analytical methods and descriptions of the city are domain specific, limited in scope, and discretize the city into quantifiable individual representations, resulting in an equally limited urban policy and design. If we are to produce urban systems capable of contributing to the robustness and resiliency of cities, we ought to understand and represent the comprehensive network of actors that construct contemporary urban landscapes. On one hand, the natural sciences approach the analysis of complex systems by primarily focusing on the development of models capable of describing their stochastic formation, remaining agnostic to the contextual properties of their individual components and oftentimes discretizing the otherwise continuous relationships among parts. signers work in groups. They need to share information either synchronously or asynchronously as they work with parametric modeling software, as with all computer-aided design tools. Receiving information from collaborators while working may intrude on their work and thought processes. Little research exists on how the reception of design updates influences designers in their work. Nor do we know much about designer preferences for collaboration. In this paper, we examine how sharing and receiving design updates affects designers’ performances and preferences. We present a system prototype to share changes on demand or in continuous mode while performing design tasks. A pilot study measuring the preferences of nine pairs of designers for different combinations of control modes and design tasks shows statistically significant differences between the task types and control modes. The types of tasks affect the preferences of users to the types of control modes. In an apparent contradiction, user preference of control modes contradicts task performance time.

summary A glitch is defined as a temporary, transient fault in a system that corrects itself. Glitches are cracks, frictions that create ‘openings’ in a particular system, revealing new meanings of the system itself. As opposed to its typical negative connotation, the glitch finds here a positive meaning and a generative quality. The concept is in fact employed as a research strategy to embed serendipity in the built environment through urban systems, places and experiences that use responsive technologies. When glitches relate to the built environment, people find new connections with places, shifting the relationship from the ordinary towards the unexpected and the unpredictable.

title Super-details: Integrated patterns from 3D printing processes to performance-based design

summary Performance-based architecture has predominately been influenced by computational advances in simulating complex organizations. The advent of 3D printing, however, has introduced a new approach to generate complex forms, which is redirecting focus from shape-centric design to material design, namely, innovative structures and properties generated by the process itself. This article investigated the multiscale approach potential to design using extrusion-based 3D printing techniques that offer novel geometric organizations that conform to desired performance. It was found that 3D printed toolpaths adapted to extrusion-based systems render an anisotropic behavior to the architectural object that is best optimized by designing tessellated surfaces as the primary structural shape from which small-scale periodic surfaces can be embedded within a larger geometric system.

summary For efficient interoperability of information between IFC (a standard open BIM model) and CityGML(a standard model in GIS), the information system is comparatively analysed through IFC, CityGML and LandXML. A direction for developing object-oriented AUIM (Archi-Urban Integration Model) for analysis and maintenance of spatial information is proposed. In this study, LOD for AUIM-based interior spatial information is presented. At the same time, strategies for BIM-GIS convergence are sought.

summary The common understanding of morphogenesis implies a three-dimensional evolutionary change in form witnessed in the developmental process of an organism. This evolutionary process emerges from cell growth, cellular differentiation and environmental changes that generate specific conditions between genotype and phenotype. The complex nature of these aspects is intrinsic to evolutionary biology, and its accurate implementation in bio-generated architectures potentiates a twofold understanding of different morphogenetic strategies and its spatial consequences. Within this premise the morphogenetic factors of cell-differentiation and cell-signaling become a crucial aspect in a real-time communication system between an archetype and space, thus performing within particular modes in which design correlates to space. The paper hypothesizes and tests the use of Cell-Signaling as system of communication that governs fundamental cellular activities within the process of Gastrulation. This process occurs in early cell-embryo development and where communication between cells is favorably active and cellular the structure is established. The Emosphera project is a technical re-contextualization of this specific morphogenetic process. The principles denote a genetic code of the object can be scripted in a CAD environment and reproduced real-time by means of communication through a multimedia platform, which render form as a consequential aspect.

summary Computer-aided design tools have become an integral part of much architectural design practice, to the point where design is heavily dependent on the assistance of these tools. But current computer-aided design tools are fundamentally limited by the WIMP (windows, icons, menus, and pointer) interface, reliant on 2d input and output. Design of buildings and other 3D objects via 2D workflow is slowed by the conversions that designers must make. In this paper, we explore the potential of transformable physical design media through two design tool prototypes: Integrated spatial gesture-based direct 3D modeling and display system (InSpire), and tangible objects based massing study tool kits (CuBe). Both of these design tool prototypes allow designers to develop their design within a fully 3d environment with optical and haptic references, so that the interaction between designer and design object become much more intuitive and direct.We conclude by discussing some related subjects in the domain of HCI and argue that transformable physical design media represent a desirable solution for enhancing design experience. Architects and designers could benefit from the usage of transformable physical design media, especially during the early phases of architectural design by allowing designers to efficiently alter the topology properties.

title Woka: Towards a dialogical design of future cities

summary This paper presents an experiment on an open source construction system named Woka, which allows anyone to design and produce dwellings using standard CNC techniques. Woka was developed as a dialogical design process that empowers self-builders to act in a more autonomous way, expanding the traditional role of design practice and the way buildings are created. The advent and popularization of new design and fabrication processes have encouraged a flux of new theories and project strategies based on computing, each with its promise of changing the architectural practice. Some of these resulted in intellectually seductive; visually provocative and complex shaped architectures, generating a new formal repertoire, but doesn’t indicate a paradigm shift in the process of production of architectural space, still based on authorship. Woka challenges this traditional process proposing dialogue as a design approach, shifting the focus from the object to intersubjectivity, amplifying the potential for novelty to arise.

summary The purpose of this paper is to present a work in progress pertaining to drone pose estimation and flight calibration. This paper intends to underline the increasing importance of determining alternative path planning instruments through accurate localization for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with the purpose of achieving complex flight operations for the emerging applications of autonomous robotics in surveying, design, fabrication, and on-site operations. This research is based on the implementation of novel technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), Robot Operating System (ROS), and computational approaches to define a drone calibration methodology, leveraging existing methods for drone path planning. Drones are equipped with measurement systems to provide geo-location and time information such as onboard Global Positioning System (GPS) sensors, and Inertial Measurement Units (IMU). As stated in previous research, to increase navigation capabilities, measurements and data processing algorithms have a critical role (Daponte et al. 2015). The outcome of this work in progress showcases valuable results in calculating and assessing accurate positioning for UAVs, and developing data exchanges in transmission, reception, and tracking.

summary In this paper we use analysis tools from Space Syntax and objective observation of the human behaviour, to understand the impact of landmarks in the walking patterns of users of spaces. Our case study was a large exterior public open space (University Campus), in which participants could walk freely and simultaneously be tracked by several sensors. We carried Space Syntax analysis for this space, and then collected Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking information and used a mobile eye-tracking device to acquire eye gaze information. The collected data allowed us to map and analyse each subject behaviour in the public space. A more specific analysis was done to four selected landmarks that, according to the Space Syntax analysis, were the ones with higher integration values. Results indicate that landmarks with such higher integration values show also a larger count of fixations and saccades of gaze interaction.

summary Virtual reality opens a new world of a great potential for both research and experimentation by allowing new forms of unbuilt sensible architectural space. The paper starts with a sketch of the current context in Virtual Reality and continues by outlining the development and structure of the research “project Anywhere”. The project is an easily deployable, wireless, multi-user, augmented reality app-system that offers full body immersion through body, head and hands tracking. It can host multiple concurrent users, able to move freely in the virtual space, by moving in the real, and also perform actions through a gesture interface to affect their shared environment. Concluding, we describe the inherent properties of such a space, which we propose as a novel spatial medium for architecture, through an example of a potential application.

summary Extensive studies have shown that face-to-face interactions are a critical component in a work environment. It is an effective communication method that builds trust between team members and creates social ties between colleagues to ease future collaboration. In this paper we present our interaction analysis system that utilized an indoor tracking system to provide insights on the spatial usage and interaction dynamics in collaborative spaces. This gives space layout designers and managers quick feedback on the performance of the space and its occupancies and allows interventions and evaluations to be conducted to fine-tune the space layout or organization structure to achieve optimal performance. We demonstrate our system with data collected from a recent international design workshop.

summary Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are currently making a dynamic appearance in the architectural realm. Social media are being bombarded by word-to-image/image-to-image generated illustrations of fictive buildings generated by tools such as ‘Midjourney’, ‘DALL-E’, ‘Stable Diffusion’ and others. Architects appear to be fascinated by the rapidly generated and inspiring ‘designs’ while others criticise them as superficial and formalistic. In continuation to previous research on Generative Design, (Agkathidis, 2015), this paper aims to investigate whether there is an appropriate way to integrate these new technologies as a generative tool in the educational architectural design process. To answer this question, we developed a design workflow consisting of four phases and tested it for two semesters in an architectural design studio in parallel to other studio units using conventional design methods but working on the same site. The studio outputs were evaluated by guest critics, moderators and external examiners. Furthermore, the design framework was evaluated by the students through an anonymous survey. Our findings highlight the advantages and challenges of the utilisation of AI image synthesis tools in the educational design process of an architectural design approach.
