title	Speculative Urban Types - A Cellular Automata Evolutionary Approach
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.313

summary	The accelerated rate of urbanization in China is the motivator behind this paper. As a response to the observed monotonous housing developments in Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) and elsewhere our method exploits Cellular Automata (CA) combined with fitness evaluation algorithms to explore speculatively the potential of building regulations for increased density and diversity through an automated design algorithm. The well-known Game of Life CA is extended from its original 2-dimensional functionality into the realm of three dimensions and enriched with the possibility of resizing the involved cells according to their function. Moreover our method integrates the "social condenser" as a means of diversifying functional distribution within the Cellular Automata as well as solar radiation as requested by the existing building regulation. The method achieves a densification of the development from 31% to 39% ratio of footprint to occupied volume whilst obeying the solar radiation rule and offering a more diverse functional occupation. This proof of concept demonstrates a solid approach to the automated design of housing developments at an urban scale with a ,yet limited, evaluation procedure including solar radiation which can be extended to other performance criteria in future work.

title	Dense Urban Typologies and the Game of Life: Evolving Cellular Automata

summary	The ongoing rate of urbanization in China is the motivator behind this paper. As a response to the observed monotonous housing developments in Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) and elsewhere our method exploits Cellular Automata (CA) combined with fitness evaluation algorithms to explore speculatively the potential of existing developments and respective building regulations for increased density and diversity through an automated design algorithm. The well-known Game of Life CA is extended from its original 2-dimensional functionality into the realm of three dimensions and enriched with the opportunity of resizing the involved cells according to their function. Moreover our method integrates an earlier technique of constrcuctivists namely the “social condenser” as a means of diversifying functional distribution within the Cellular Automata as well as solar radiation as requested by the existing building regulation. The method achieves a densification of the development from 31% to 39% ratio of footprint to occupied volume whilst obeying the solar radiation rule and offering a more diverse functional occupation. This proof of concept demonstrates a solid approach to the automated design of housing developments at an urban scale with a ,yet limited, evaluation procedure including solar radiation which can be extended to other performance criteria in future work.

title	Spatial-Temporal Behavior Analysis Using Big Data Acquired by Wi-Fi Indoor Positioning System
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.745
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. 745-754
summary	Understanding of people's spatial behavior is fundamental to architectural and urban design. However, traditional investigation methods applied in environmental behavior studies is highly limited regarding the amount of samples and regions it covers, which is not sufficient for the exploration of complex dynamic human behaviors and social activities in architectural space. Only recently the developments in indoor positioning system (IPS) and big data analysis technique have made it possible to conduct a full-time, full-coverage study on human environmental behavior. Among the variety IPS systems, the Wi-Fi IPS system is increasingly widely used because it is easy to be applied with acceptable cost. In this paper, we analyzed a 60-days anonymized data set, collected by a Wi-Fi IPS system with 110 Wi-Fi access points. The analysis revealed interesting patterns on people's behavior besides temporal spatial distribution, ranging from the cyclical fluctuation in human flow to behavioral patterns of sub-regions, some of which are not easy to be identified and interpreted by the traditional field observation. Through this case study, behavioral data from IPS system has exhibited great potential in bringing about profound changes in the study of environmental behavior.

title	Seat Selection System for Theatres and Concert Halls Based on Audio-Visual Integration Technology
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.157
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. 157-165
summary	It is of great significance to establish the virtual visual/audio simulation in building environment or indoor auditorium, as this is also a key issue which has drawn attention from other research fields including computer-aided design, virtual reality and acoustic simulation. This paper introduces the architecture and realization of a seat selection system based on audio-visual integration technology and the subjective preference test based on the seat selection system. The visual/audio subjective evaluation experiments on Xiamen Concert Hall and Ferrara Opera House were carried out, the experiments show that visual-audio factors have impact on the visual-audio preference and subjective evaluation of concert halls and theatres. The combined effect of acoustic and non-acoustic parameters (such as visual factors) on hearing and the perception of acoustics is also discussed in the paper.
