title	A Multisensory Computational Model for Human-Machine Making and Learning
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2017.238
source	ACADIA 2017: DISCIPLINES & DISRUPTION [Proceedings of the 37th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-692-96506-1] Cambridge, MA 2-4 November, 2017), pp. 238-247
summary	Despite the advancement of digital design and fabrication technologies, design practices still follow Alberti’s hylomorphic model of separating the design phase from the construction phase. This separation hinders creativity and flexibility in reacting to surprises that may arise during the construction phase. These surprises often come as a result of a mismatch between the sophistication allowed by the digital technologies and the designer’s experience using them. These technologies and expertise depend on one human sense, vision, ignoring other senses that could be shaped and used in design and learning. Moreover, pedagogical approaches in the design studio have not yet fully integrated digital technologies as design companions; rather, they have been used primarily as tools for representation and materialization. This research introduces a multisensory computational model for human-machine making and learning. The model is based on a recursive process of embodied, situated, multisensory interaction between the learner, the machines and the thing-in-the-making. This approach depends heavily on computational making, abstracting, and describing the making process. To demonstrate its effectiveness, I present a case study from a course I taught at MIT in which students built full-scale, lightweight structures with embedded electronics. This model creates a loop between design and construction that develops students’ sensory experience and spatial reasoning skills while at the same time enabling them to use digital technologies as design companions. The paper shows that making can be used to teach design while enabling the students to make judgments on their own and to improvise.

title	Evaluating the capability of EnergyPlus in simulating geometrically complex Double-Skin Facades through CFD modelling
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2017.1.757
source	Fioravanti, A, Cursi, S, Elahmar, S, Gargaro, S, Loffreda, G, Novembri, G, Trento, A (eds.), ShoCK! - Sharing Computational Knowledge! - Proceedings of the 35th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy, 20-22 September 2017, pp. 757-764
summary	This paper represents a preliminary investigation into the appropriateness of using EnergyPlus as a simulation tool for Double-Skin Façades (DSFs) that are considered geometrically complex. It builds upon previous research conducted by the authors in which a DSF was designed and simulated for an existing office building in Cairo. For this verification, the DSF was simulated once more using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to evaluate the accuracy of the previously obtained results. The cavity temperature and the volume flow rate of the airflow provided by EnergyPlus are compared with those obtained by OpenFOAM CFD software. The results give a credible indication of the reliability of EnergyPlus and encourages further investigations. The strengths and limitations of each software are discussed.

title	Imitation in Action: A Pedagogical Approach for Making Kinetic Structures
source	Gülen Çagdas, Mine Özkar, Leman F. Gül and Ethem Gürer (Eds.) Future Trajectories of Computation in Design [17th International Conference, CAAD Futures 2017, Proceedings / ISBN 978-975-561-482-3] Istanbul, Turkey, July 12-14, 2017, pp. 533-545.
summary	One of the problems in teaching students how to design kinetic architecture is the difficulty of helping them grasp concepts like motion, physical computing and fabrication, concepts not generally dealt with in conventional architectural projects. In this paper, we introduce a pedagogical method for better utilizing prototyping and explore the role prototyping plays in learning and conceptualizing design ideas. Our method is based on building the learner’s sensory experience through iteration and focusing on the process as well as the product. Specifically, our research attempts to address the following questions: How can architecture students anticipate and feel motion while they design kinetic prototypes? How do their prototypes enable them to explore design ideas? As a case study, we applied our methodology in an 8-week workshop in a fabrication laboratory in Cairo, Egypt. The workshop was open to young architects and students who had completed at least four semesters of study at the university. We describe the pedagogical approach we developed to build the sensory experience of making motion, and demonstrate the basic setting and stages of the workshop. We show how a cyclical learning process, based on perception and action -- copying and iteration -- contributed to the students’ learning experience and enabled them to create and improvise on their own.

title	Territories Made by Measure: The Parametric as a Way of Teaching Urban Design Theory

summary	Design tools like Grasshopper are often used to either generate novel forms, to automate certain design processes or to incorporate scientific factors. However, any Grasshopper definition has certain assumptions about design and space built into it from its earliest genesis, when the initial algorithm is set out. Correspondingly, implicit theoretical positions are built into definitions, and therefore its results. Approaching parametric design as a question of architectural, landscape architectural or urban design theory allows the breaking down of traditional boundaries between the technical and the historical or theoretical, and the way parametric design, and urban design history & theory, can be conveyed in the teaching environment. Once the boundaries between software and history & theory are transgressed, Grasshopper can be a way of testing the principles embedded in historical designs and thus these two disciplines can be joined. In urban design, there is an inherent clash between an ideal model and existing urban geography or morphology, and also between formal (qualitative) and numerical (quantitative) aspects. If a model provides a necessary vision for future development, an existing topography then results from the continuous human and natural modifications of a territory. To explore this hypothesis, the “Urban Design Representation” subject in the Master of Urban Design program at the University of Cape Town taught in 2017 & 2018 was approached “parametrically” from these two opposite, albeit convergent, starting points: the conceptual/rational versus the physical/empiric representations of a territory. In this framework, Grasshopper was used to represent typical standards and parameters of modern urban planning (for example, Floor/Area Ratio, height and distance between buildings, site coverage, etc), and a typological approach was adopted to study and “decode” the relationship between public and private space, between the street, the block and topography, between solids and voids. This methodology permits a cross-comparison of different urban design models and the immediate evaluation of their formal outputs derived from parametric data.

title	El proceso proyectivo colaborativo en BIM: Aproximaciones a partir de la semiótica de C. S. Peirce [The collaborative projective process in BIM: Approaches from the semiotics of C. S. Peirce]
source	SIGraDi 2017 [Proceedings of the 21th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-227-439-5] Chile, Concepción 22 - 24 November 2017, pp.39-44
summary	This paper studies the process of conception in BIM architecture, using concepts of Peircian semiotics, in order to apply it in the design oriented to the resilience. There are three ways of designing in Revit Architecture software: (i) the conceptual mass, which demonstrates an abductive-iconic type of reasoning and a stereotomic process. (ii) Object-based modeling, which demonstrates a deductive/inductive-symbolic and a tectonic procedure and (iii) collaborative modeling, which manages to initiate a parallel process between different professionals and the community. These processes are understood in a semiotic relationship, in which are present signs and reasoning of different hierarchies.

title	Modelado paramétrico y fabricación digital para la concepción de edificios de museo ambientalmente adecuados para el clima subtropical húmedo de Brasil. [Parametric modeling and digital manufacturing for the conception of museum buildings environmentally suitable for the subtropical wetland climate of Brazil.]
source	SIGraDi 2017 [Proceedings of the 21th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-227-439-5] Chile, Concepción 22 - 24 November 2017, pp.257-261
summary	Museums exhibit a growing development in the world, promoting buildings with significant expressions. Nevertheless, the relation of the building and its environmental performance is fundamental in the conception of new buildings. The problem originates in the early stages of design, where it is not possible to evaluate it environmentally. The methodology uses three art museum buildings in the humid subtropical climate of Brazil, whose geometries are completely different. After analyzing and relating its performance to its environmental and geometric characteristics a parametric modeling tool is proposed and the digital manufacture as a product of the process has been carried out.

summary	In landscape design a vertical section is a representation that, comparatively, is less used than in architecture. However, given the current complexity of urban intervention, the section is a graphical tool of analytical and communicative interest to complement the information that plants give us. The paper is structured in three parts: the first presents the theoretical-conceptual framework of the research, in the second, some notable examples are studied, and in the third, a photomontage exercise is carried out in a course with students of landscaping.

summary	The work compiles several academic and Research initiatives, and aims to establish a right link between two agendas that governments, AEC industry and academia normally handle separated, this is BIM (Building Information Modeling) and Wood. By running several literature reviews, interviews and software tests, the state-of-the-art was reached in both fields; several cases linking BIM and wood are shown and discussed. It can be concluded that both fields have several commons processes and also that many cases have used just a few BIM tools, disregarding a big potential of these methodologies.

summary	There are many advantages that technology brings in support to the architect, among the skills that must be acquired by students of architecture, are, without a doubt, digital skills. However, excessive use of digital tools leads to lose other skills, such as drawing and hand design, with the consequent low quality and warmth of the artistic expression of the designer. It is important that academic training considers a balance between the application of technology and design, and that future professionals are as competent in both digital and analog design.

summary	This paper describes the implementation of a massive online open course of parametric design. Firstly, the justification for understanding design education in an online system is discussed. A conceptualization of computational geometry as a didactic axis for teaching parametric design is posed. To achieve an evaluation of the course, a peer evaluation which had a rubric for each topic, based on a matrix of possibilities, was implemented. The viability of this evaluation system is discussed. Finally, the important and necessary items for success, as well as the disadvantages of this type of courses is concluded.
