title	Study on Psychological Evaluation of Architectural Elements and Spaces in Western Paintings
source	ENVISIONING ARCHITECTURE: IMAGE, PERCEPTION AND COMMUNICATION OF HERITAGE [ISBN 978-83-7283-681-6],Lodz University of Technology, 23-26 September 2015, pp.209-218
summary	The objective of the research is to analyze the psychological evaluation of the spatial representation in the Western paintings to obtain the insights to the reception of the two-dimensional architectural images. The psychological evaluation experiment based on the SD methods was conducted using 15 Western paintings to quantitatively measure the impression of the spatial representation by the viewers. Through the factor analysis and the cluster analysis, it was revealed that the certain types of compositions evoke similar impression and psychological evaluation in the viewers’ mind, regardless of the time period or style.

title	The Other Digital - What is the Glitch in Architecture?
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.551
source	P. Janssen, P. Loh, A. Raonic, M. A. Schnabel (eds.), Protocols, Flows, and Glitches - Proceedings of the 22nd CAADRIA Conference, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Suzhou, China, 5-8 April 2017, pp. 551-559
summary	This paper will discuss and investigate the issues with the concept of 'glitch' in architecture. There are currently two definitions that sit in a symbiotic relationship with each other; Moradi's (2004) and Menkman's (2011). This paper will explore the implications of these two approaches, while investigating the possibility of a third, unique definition (the encoded transform), and what effect they have on the possibility for a 'glitch architecture'. The paper will then focus on the glitches' capacity to be disruptive within the design process. In the context of architecture, it has been previously argued that the inclusion of glitches within a design process can easily create a process that does not 'converge' to a desired design outcome, but instead shifts haphazardly within a set of family resemblances (Austin & Perin 2015). Further to this, it will be revealed that this 'divergent' quality of glitches is due to the encoded nature of architectural production.

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.

title	The definition of semantic of spaces in virtual built environments oriented to BIM implementation
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. 331-346.
summary	The BIM today can be a provider of inputs to performance analysis of different phenomena such as thermal comfort, energy consumption or winds. All these assessments are fundamental to the post occupation of the building. The attainment of approximate information of how the future building would behave under these conditions will reduce the waste of materials and energy resources. The same idea is used for evaluating the users occupation. Through simulation of human behavior is possible to evaluate which design elements can be improved. In complex structures such as hospital buildings or airports is quite complex for architects to determine optimal design solutions based on the tools available nowadays. These due to the fact users are not contemplated in the model. Part of the data used for the simulation can be derived from the BIM model. The three-dimensional model provides parametric information, however are not semantically enriched. They provide parameters to elements but not the connection between them, not the relationship. It means that during a simulation Virtual Users can recognize the elements represented in BIM models, but not what they mean, due to the lack of semantics. At the same time the built environment may assume different functions depending on the physical configuration or activities that are performed on it. The status of the space may reveal differences and these changes occur constantly and are dynamic. In an initial state, a room can be noisy and a moment later, quiet. This can determine what type of activities the space can support according to each change in status. In this study we demonstrate how the spaces can express different semantic information according to the activity performed on it. The aim of this paper is to simulate the activities carried out in the building and how they can generate different semantics to spaces according to the use given to it. Then we analyze the conditions to the implementation of this knowledge in the BIM model.

title	Mass Regimes: Geometric Actuation of Thermal Behavior
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 13 - no. 2, 169-194
summary	The Mass Regimes is a research project that investigates the effect of complex geometry on processes of passive heat distribution in thermal mass systems. In the context of systems thinking, this research intends to instrumentalize design principles that engage a wider range of design tactics for choreographing thermal gradients between buildings and their environment. Research for this project has brought about a deeper understanding of how specific geometric manipulations of surface area over the same mass (Figure 1) affect the rate of thermal transfer. Leveraging physical simulations of geometric populations, along with current computational and design tools, the project sheds light on performative trends that may enhance creative design explorations in the use of passive systems. Preliminary analysis of varied geometric populations suggest an exciting trend and the possibility for a more synthetic incorporation of morphology, one in which surface geometry can be passively utilized to generate effects with more fidelity over the pace of thermal absorption and the release of sensible heat.

summary	Design is one of the basic skills of every engineer. However until now design is only seen as a core course in Architecture studies and lately in Industrial Engineering studies. This paper reports about the development of a design course for all departments of a typical technical university. After a short overview of design teaching tradition, an inventory is presented of the different interpretation of design by the various departments. The course development is presented over two periods: 2012-2014, and 2014-2015. In between a major change was conducted. The course learning goals and student evaluations are presented. In the discussion we reflect on fundamental and practical problems that occur in design teaching for such a wide audience. Finally we draw conclusions on the changing role of design what is needed to give design the same status as mathematics in a technical curriculum.

title	New Interfaces - Old Models
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2015.1.101
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. 101-106
summary	The rapid development of new Virtual Reality (VR) devices such as the Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard together with Augmented Reality (AR) applications such as 3Dplus (by the Finnish company advice) or gaming software such as Unity3D and Unreal Engine 4 raises the question of how we can use these new interfaces and applications to access our increasingly data-rich models. In this paper we will summarise the results of a joint international workshop where students explored the use of these new interfaces on existing models. During the course of the workshop, the students built their own VR environments to test spatial perception and then used different types of housing models with these interfaces to find out what kind of information inside those data rich models is best suited to be accessed using these new interfaces. The question will be if there is any added value - besides the novelty factor - in using these new devices in combination with old models. To give an extra dimension to the virtual nature of the workshop, students collaborated with some of the tutors primarily digitally using the virtual models and other online tools (Skype/Twitter/discussion boards). By having collaboration through the medium of the virtual interactive model as the core communication method, the amount, type and methods of presenting the information is tested and evaluated. This is work in progress and we had to experience several problems that we could not overcome in the available time.

title	Creativity of ‘Process’ and ‘Product’: The Impact of Tools?
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2015.1.169
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. 169-178
summary	This paper examines the relationship between creativity domains and computing tools. It reports on the findings of a design computing experiment with 2 groups of subjects while they were engaged with a problem solving design task using two types of CAD tools, non-parametric and parametric-algorithmic. The paper aims to address two questions. Does a more creative process by implication 'correlate' with and yield a more creative product? And does the 'type' of CAD tool deployed by the user impact on the creativity of their product? The findings revealed that creativity of the process correlated significantly with each measure of 'product' creativity, namely: novelty, technical goodness and aesthetic appeal. Factor loading on components confirmed two constructs, one for product creativity and another for process. Additionally a difference in CAD tools produced no statistical 'variance' in creativity of 'product' or process. A regression equation to predict product ratings from creativity process ratings is also presented.

summary	Responsive architecture is often seen as one that merely adapts to change. This reflects its limited and still incipient application in architecture. Given the current resource’s crisis, a systemic building management is essential. This article argues that there is no established process for creating and managing responsive architecture. Therefore, it claims is necessary to deepen knowledge about systems, computation, mathematics, biology and robotics. Despite being a vast subject, it proposes a ‘state of the art’ about systems, investigating how to operate them. Based on this, proposes a method for generating responsive systems. This method is tested in a practical case.

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.

summary	There has been a recent increase in the exploration of mereological systems, speculating on how digital design, assembly and reconfiguration of digital materials (Gershenfeld, 2015) enables digitally informed physical worlds that change over time. Besides opportunities for construction and design automation, there is a potential to reimagine how multiple stakeholders can participate in the computational decision-making process, using the benefits of the mass customization of logistics (Retsin, 2019). This paper presents a research-by-design project that applies a digital and discrete material system to high-rise housing in Hong Kong. The project has developed an integrated approach to design, construction, and inhabitation, using a system of discrete parts which can be assembled in various apartment configurations, to incorporate varying occupants requirements and facilitate negotiations and changes over time.

summary	With an ever-increasing index of digital artifacts, we have begun to exhaust variation as an adaptive technique. The problem with incremental modulation (here understood as sequential and slowly progressing change of a set of parameters within a field condition) is that in essence it leads to morphologically equivalent and, hence, repetitive patterns of habitation. While the role of variation proved key in pushing forward an essential body of research testing and optimizing principles of mass customization, its residual effects become critically disconcerting. This paper presents an investigation of tectonic mutations for the generation of form, seen through data simulation experiments and machining artifacts. Through several projects we investigate the effects of ornament created as a result of the new relationship between generative modeling, simulation, and fabrication in the digital age. Subject to (de)generative mutation techniques, ornament can be under-stood as a result of overlaid data, whether the data is performance related or not, in both massing and surface conditions. This new working methodology will mitigate between the incertitude regarding time, history and memory, and by reinventing their relation it will reassess ornament’s agency within the digital culture. Design methods are extended by exploring, collecting, analyzing, and representing data through various materialization processes. Design is therefore reconsidered as being injected with the concepts of data driven design and dependent on the inter-play between performance and aesthetics. In this way, we consider the footprint - or the subsequent impact - of the human onto the nonhuman using artificial intelligence as a medium. These intentionally or accidentally engraved layers of information begin to describe potential trajectories of novel survival modes in the Anthropocene.

summary	This paper aims to discuss different possibilities and methodologies within the field of urban acoustics and the use of digital tools. As an attempt to integrate quantitative methods, such as sound mapping and noise control, with qualitative approaches, such as the soundscape studies, new strategies based on performance oriented design will be addressed. The notion of sonic effect as an important tool for integrating different perspectives will hence be discussed as a possible instrument for structuring generative design experiments. A theoretical framework and a possible design workflow are further drawn to possibly articulate future studies.

title	Perceived Emotional Effects of Digital Pattern in Façade Design

summary	This study raises the question of what the emotional significance of the digital patterns has and attempts to provide an answer to such a question. The purpose of this study is to propose a direction to effectively support the façade designs of buildings by understanding the emotive design characteristics of the patterns. This study explains the design patterns on façade designs. There are five types of digital patterns which include applied patterns, perforated patterns, layered patterns, cast patterns, and tiled patterns. Among those patterns, perforated patterns are focused in further detail. This study deals with identifying emotional effects of perforated design patterns. The emotional word ‘asymmetrical’ and ‘irregular’ shows the high average of the emotional value. In the bipolar adjectives, the high emotional value is ‘irregular-regular’ and ‘asymmetrical-symmetrical’. Therefore, the final design characteristics of the perforated patterns are ‘regularity’ and ‘symmetry’. This means to be able to use the perforated patterns in order to be perceived a building façade design as the regular and symmetrical emotional effect. In this paper, it is worth analyzing design characteristics of a building façade by the support of the digital technologies and discussing the utilization of design characteristics derived. This study has contributed to the process and method of deriving the analysis results.

summary	The results of the experimental study revealed that the impacts from the building design and their layout differ according to observation mode of the pedestrian. This may imply that the regulation of building elements should not be considered in a rigid way but in more flexible according to given situation. Establishment of more reasonable and reliable design guideline that takes the observation mode into account should contribute to renew a part of a traditional neighbourhood smoothly while preserving original streetscape that people can feel usable and comfortable atmosphere.

summary	The new digital fabrication technologies are changing the production methods in contemporary society. The sharing of information, within a new logic of production, has the potential to change the current economic system. The present work look after the open source architecture for digital fabrication, through the constructive experience of House Magazine, developed by LAMO3d, Laboratory of 3d Models and Digital Fabrication on FAU-UFRJ. The project, sold in newsstands with the correspondent assembly instructions, aims to popularize the fabrication technologies by its absorption and transfiguration in popular culture. The open source projects and technologies promote the widening of uses of knowledge and technological advances, unlinking them from the big business and generating a dispersion of production. It is up to us to recognize its potential and shape its endless application possibilities.

summary	Today, human activities constitute the primary environmental impact on the planet. In this context, commitments to sustainability, or minimization of damage, prove insufficient. To develop regenerative, futuring capabilities, architectural design needs to extend beyond the form and function of things and engage with the management of complex systems. Such systems involve multiple types of dynamic phenomena – biotic and abiotic, technical and cultural – and can be understood as living. Engagement with such living systems implies manipulation of pervasive and unceasing change, irrespective of whether it is accepted by design stakeholders or actively managed towards homeostatic or homeorhetic conditions. On one hand, such manipulation of continuity requires holistic and persistent design involvements that are beyond natural capabilities of human designers. On the other hand, practical, political or creative implications of reliance on automated systems capable of tackling such tasks is as yet underexplored. In response to this challenge, this paper considers an experimental approach that utilised methods of critical making and speculative designing to explore potentials of autonomous architecture. This approach combined 1) knowledge of animal architecture that served as a lens for rethinking human construction and as a source of alternative design approaches; 2) practices of creative computing that supported speculative applications of data-driven and performance-oriented design; and 3) techniques of robotics and mechatronics that produced working prototypes of autonomous devices that served as props for critical thinking about alternative futures.

summary	Especially in early design phases, there is still potential to achieve collective design in architecture. To investigate the possibilities of mass collaboration, this study is based on a web application (http://lmnarchitecture.com) which implements the same technology that present software development stands on. Within those plans, the system calculates the resemblance between the models utilizing an algorithm that computes the difference between texts. The system requires the users to choose one model that is existent, and calculates the resemblance in real-time. As a result, a tree diagram is collectively achieved each having the link of inheritance. Two types of “Bots” (automated plan generation) was implemented to examine the effect of human-machine collaboration. As a result, there were 1750 models submitted in three months. Throughout the models created by humans, in this system, 49% of the models were inherited by the same user, and 23.04% of the models inherited bots.
