title Data Transmission Opportunities for Collaborative Cloud-Based Building Information Modeling
source SIGraDi 2016 [Proceedings of the 20th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-7051-86-1] Argentina, Buenos Aires 9 - 11 November 2016, pp.907-913
summary Collaboration within Building Information Modeling process is mainly based on file transfer while BIM data being exchanged in either vendor specific file formats or neutral format using Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). However, since the Web enables Cloud-based BIM services, it provides an opportunity to exchange data via Web transfer services. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to investigate what features of Cloud interoperability can assist a network-based BIM data transmission for a collaborative work flow in the Architecture, Construction, and Engineering (AEC) industry. This study indicates that Cloud-BIM interoperability needs to deploy major components such as APIs, data transfer protocols, data formats, and standardization to redefine BIM data flow in the Cloud and to reshape the collaboration process.

summary This paper discusses the development of an interactive and a responsive Tangible User-Interface (TUI) for parametric and Building Information Modeling (BIM) applications. The prototypes presented in this paper utilizes physical computing systems to establish a flexible and intuitive method to engage digital design processes.The prototypes are hybrid UIs that consist of a digital modeling tool and an artifact. The artifact consists of a control system (sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers) and physical objects (architectural elements). The link between both environments associates physical objects with their digital design information to assist users in the digital design process. The integration of physical computing systems will enable the objects to physically respond to analog input and provide real-time feedback to users. The research aims to foster tangible computing methods to extend the capabilities of digital design tools. The prototypes demonstrate a method that allows architects to simultaneously interact with complex architectural systems digitally and physically.

summary This paper investigates the relationship of Building Information Modeling (BIM), Algorithm-Aided Design (AAD) and general Computer-Aided Design (CAD). As a result of the developments in CAD, new tools have recently emerged that enable designers to utilize some of the main aspects of BIM and AAD. With this new modeling approach, called Algorithm-Aided Building Information Modeling (AAB), designers can use algorithms to generate parametric object models. The geometric objects contain embedded metadata that can be further utilized in the design and construction processes. This paper investigates how the new approach to modeling positions itself in the field CAD. The main result of the investigation is that the new modeling approach can be seen as a part of larger assembly that connects two design approaches of Object-Oriented Design and Algorithm-Aided Design.

title Breaking out: New freedoms in urban (re)design work by adding immersive environments
source International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 14 - no. 2, 103-118
summary Nowadays, urban planning and urban design are facing big changes in the use of different digital tools. Reaching out and engaging citizens and other stakeholders in urban design process are significant for good practice. Main problem discussed in this article is the lack of suitable tools/interfaces for instant collaboration between government, profession, and public. Article focuses on immersive environments, as full immersion could offer better notion of different proposals of urban design. As a case study, Immersive Terf is chosen; more exactly, article focuses on new approach and new development of tool Urban Redesign Terf. Deep immersive collaboration on design could free participant’s mind and increase level of freedom in design/planning process. Immersive environments have already been used in building information modeling (BIM) managment, but innovation part, presented here, are technological: significant changes in the software and walk-through big models, which is the base for urban design and urban planning process.

summary Houses are essentially one-of-a-kind products that should reflect individualized differences of inhabitants who live in them. Homebuyers and homebuilders alike are thus captivated by the difficulties of housing customization. Achieving customer satisfaction depends on the flexibility of customized solutions, though the challenge of flexibility lies in the complexity of design validation. Constraints may be seen as design limitations, but they could provide for the efficiency of design validation. This paper addresses the complexities in the adoption of mass customization in the housing industry, and presents a dimensional customization system which would effectively use building information modeling (BIM) software, parametric design, and automatic verification of dimensional constraints to merge customization and validation.

title The STG Pattern: Application of a “Semantic-Topological-Geometric” Information Conversion Pattern to Knowledge Modeling in Architectural Conceptual Design
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2016.435
source Living Systems and Micro-Utopias: Towards Continuous Designing, Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA 2016) / Melbourne 30 March–2 April 2016, pp. 435-444
summary Generative modelling tools have become a popular means of composing algorithms to generate complex building forms at the conceptual design stage. However, composing algorithms in order to meet the requirements of general design criteria, and communicating those criteria with other disciplines by means of generative algorithms still faces technical challenges. This paper proposes the use of a “Se- mantic-Topological-Geometric (STG)” pattern to guide architects in composing algorithms for representing, modelling, and validating de- sign knowledge and criteria. The STG pattern aims to help architects for converting semantic information concerning the situations of a project into design criteria, which are usually composed of topological relations among design elements, in order to explore the geometric properties of building components by means of generated 3D models.

summary This research investigates the adequacy of the contemporary professional formation to professional practice in the construction market. The work investigates the teaching of building and structures design in schools of architecture and civil engineering in Belo Horizonte. There is evidence that the use of contemporary information technology such as BIM (Building Information Modeling) enables integrated teaching of architecture and engineering, allowing simultaneous work. The hypothesis is that there is a mismatch between contemporary teaching and practice and methodological changes seeking simultaneous practice, respond adequately to contemporary assumptions of learning. The confirmation of this hypothesis subsidizes developments for future research.

title Information and Construction: Advanced Applications of Digital Prototyping in the Housing Industry
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2016.2.591
source Herneoja, Aulikki; Toni Österlund and Piia Markkanen (eds.), Complexity & Simplicity - Proceedings of the 34th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland, 22-26 August 2016, pp. 591-600
summary This study elaborates on recent efforts in applying Digital Prototyping strategies to realize a prefabricated construction system that allows for significant flexibility and adaptability in housing design. The rational of the described model is based on combining advanced BIM modeling with structural analysis, towards achieving high accuracy in the design phase, leading to subsequent precision in fabrication and assembly of a specific building system; the BONE Structure. Such an application aims at delivering significant levels of detailing in design and production of the system's components, thus supporting the intention of pre-defined assembly on jobsites, leveraging quality, and reducing waste. The paper represents a phase from a continuous research endeavor that aims at exploring technological enablers for mass customization in the housing realm, based on advanced levels of digitization of the design and production processes.

title Consistency Checker - An automatic constraint-based evaluator for housing spatial configurations
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.2.351
source Stojakovic, V and Tepavcevic, B (eds.), Towards a new, configurable architecture - Proceedings of the 39th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, University of Novi Sad, Novi Sad, Serbia, 8-10 September 2021, pp. 351-358
summary The gradual rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its increasing visibility among many research disciplines affected Computer-Aided Architectural Design (CAAD). Architectural deep learning (DL) approaches are being developed and published on a regular basis, such as retrieval (Sharma et al. 2017) or design style manipulation (Newton 2019; Silvestre et al. 2016). However, there seems to be no method to evaluate highly constrained spatial configurations for specific architectural domains (such as housing or office buildings) based on basic architectural principles and everyday practices. This paper introduces an automatic constraint-based consistency checker to evaluate the coherency of semantic spatial configurations of housing construction using a small set of design principles to evaluate our DL approaches. The consistency checker informs about the overall performance of a spatial configuration followed by whether it is open/closed and the constraints it didn't satisfy. This paper deals with the relation of spaces processed as mathematically formalized graphs contrary to existing model checking software like Solibri.

summary This paper will examine the results from a research collaboration between (BIM Software Manufacturer) and (School), whose problem statement focused on supporting robust interoperability by defining goals focused on multivariate conceptual design tools. The collaboration included design faculty, students and software professionals, the latter providing access to a broad range of design simulation tools either commercially available or currently in development. The tools were developed first through case studies and background research, followed by the design and implementation of novel computational methods advancing the architectural design workflow by seeking to create comparative tools which allow a designer to connect multiple data typologies in a single model. With advanced computational tools employed both as standalone resources and embedded in parametric loops, we sought to provide immediate feedback on design goals.

summary By enabling BIM technology, a building can be represented by a set of objects that carry detailed information about how they are constructed and also capture the relationship with other objects in the building model. Smart BIM objects can be classified as specific com- ponents encapsulating typical building rules and relations that can be predicted and defined by a few parameters and constraints. A frame- work is developed to show how a smart BIM object is developed. This paper presents the method of developing smart BIM object capable of better-informing design decision. To demonstrate the usefulness of smart BIM objects, a cloud BIM object library is developed and tested by academia and industry.

title Development of schematic estimation system through linking QTO with Cost DB
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2016.507

summary Cost estimate in architectural projects is an important factor for decision-making and financing the project in both early design phase and detailed design phase. In Korea, estimate work based on 2D drawing has generated problems of difference form QTO according to worker’s mistake and know-how. In addition, 2D-based estimation are obtained uncertainty factors of estimation depending on lack of infor- mation due to becoming larger and more complex than any other pro- ject of the architectural project. In order to solve limitations, this study is to suggest an open BIM-based schematic estimation process and a prototype system within the building frame through linking QTO and cost information. This study consists of the following steps: 1) Ana- lysing Level of Detail (LoD) to apply to the process and system, 2) BIM modelling for open BIM-based QTO, 3) Verifying the quality of the BIM model, 4) Developing a schematic estimation prototype sys- tem. This study is expected to improve work efficiency as well as reli- ability of construction cost.

summary The nature of the architectural design process can be described along the lines of the following representational devices: the plan and the model. Plans can be considered one of the oldest methods to represent spatial and aesthetic information in an abstract, 2D space. However, to be used in the design process of 3D architectural solutions, these representations are inherently limited by the loss of rich information that occurs when compressing the three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional representation. During the first Digital Turn (Carpo 2013), the sheer amount and availability of models increased dramatically, as it became viable to create vast amounts of model variations to explore project alternatives among a much larger range of different physical and creative dimensions. 3D models show how the design object appears in real life, and can include a wider array of object information that is more easily understandable by nonexperts, as exemplified in techniques such as building information modeling and parametric modeling. Therefore, the ground condition of this paper considers that the inherent nature of architectural design and sensibility lies in the negotiation of 3D space coupled with the organization of voids and spatial components resulting in spatial sequences based on programmatic relationships, resulting in an assemblage (DeLanda 2016). These conditions constitute objects representing a material culture (the built environment) embedded in a symbolic and aesthetic culture (DeLanda 2016) that is created by the designer and captures their sensibilities.

summary Generative Design (GD) is a valuable asset for architecture because it provides opportunities for innovation and improvement in the design process. Despite its availability for Computer-Aided De- sign (CAD), there are few applications of GD within the Building In- formation Modelling (BIM) paradigm, and those that exist suffer from portability issues. A portable program is one that will not only work in the application it was originally written for, but also in others with equivalent results. This paper proposes a solution that explores porta- ble GD in the context of BIM. We also propose a set of guidelines for a programming methodology for GD, adapted to the BIM paradigm. In the end, we evaluate our solution using a practical example.

summary In early stages of architectural design, highly simplified minimal models are often preferred while in the later stages maximal Building Information Models (BIM) are required that include the relevant information for detailed design documentation. This research focuses on the transition from minimal to maximal models and proposes a semi-automated workflow that consist of two main steps: analysis and templating. The analysis step starts with the minimal geometric model and decorates this model with a set of semantic and topological attributes. The templating step starts the decorated model and generates a transitional BIM model which can then be readily altered and populated with high resolution building information. A demonstration of two test cases shows the feasibility of the approach.

summary There is a common expectation of technology to better help us manage the complexity of life and to simplify our daily tasks. However, these developments also raise a question of whether design technologies encourage complexity at the expense of simplicity in the design process. Does computation cause complexity? Or does it enable simplicity? This paper aims to answer these key questions, posed as the main focus of the eCAADe 2016 Conference, by confronting different approaches to teaching Building Information Modelling (BIM) in schools of Architecture. The scope of the paper is based on both the author's knowledge of recent BIM implementations in the academic curricula and experiments conducted at Lodz University of Technology. Necessary prerequisites enabling understanding the complex knowledge are discussed. What is more, the scheme for the integrated BIM pedagogy is proposed.

title Three-dimensional visualized space and asset management system for large-scale airports: The case of Incheon International Airport
source International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 14 - no. 3, 233-246
summary Large-scale airports such as Incheon International Airport have large-scale terminals, annex buildings, and numerous open spaces. An integrated space management system is required to manage these buildings and spaces efficiently. Thus, Incheon International Airport Corporation developed a three-dimensional computer-aided design–based integrated space management system. The major system development goal was to provide intuitive three-dimensional-based visual information, thereby realizing an integrated space and asset management system that does not require expert knowledge of any specific field, such as architecture. This article discusses the construction of the system and the problems that had to be resolved to achieve this goal.

summary In building information modelling (BIM), the amount of in- formation increased and architectural design processes became more complex as projects expand. This is because while a collaboration en- vironment is important for smooth communication among experts, this has not been realised because of unclassified file synchronisation and permission settings among team members. Therefore, this study aims to support cooperation in BIM modelling projects by synchronising BIM data from different computers and rendering BIM project man- agement easier by providing a BIM model viewer and data through the Web. The proposed technology, which is a construction project- type, purpose-tailored browsing technology, provides BIM infor- mation related to construction environments and planning processes only to the relevant experts.

title Views on architecture: Different abstraction layers of building information imply special working methods and interaction metaphors to support a variety of courses of action
source SIGraDi 2016 [Proceedings of the 20th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-7051-86-1] Argentina, Buenos Aires 9 - 11 November 2016, pp.584-589
summary In the early design phases, designers usually only have a vague idea of the building they are designing. Different aspects of potential design variants need to be tested, assessed and compared with one another. The ability to consider design variants in different ways – based on floor plan, schematic concept, section or 3D visualization, for example – helps to identify problems as well as reveal areas of potential. This paper describes software prototypes developed to help designers input and present different levels of abstraction. The transformations between these levels of abstraction reveal new solutions and make designers aware of issues that need to be considered during the design process.
