title	Plato's Columns: Platonic Geometries vs. Vague Gestures in Robotic Construction
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2017.374
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. 374- 381
summary	This paper examines the inherent possibilities for architectural production in automated deposition modeling techniques, primarily explored through the use of industrial robots in combination with plastic deposition heads. These robots, in combination with various polymers, toolpaths and colorations, served as a design ecology for the exploration of emergent behaviors in robotic construction. The relationship between geometry (Euclidian, topological, fractal), mechanical properties of material (plasticity, elasticity, viscosity, resilience), optical properties (color, absorbance, transmittance, scattering), and the gestural qualities of robotic toolpaths constitute the palette adopted for the presented project. The project combines the rigor of a platonic body (Figure 2) with the emergent properties of vague gestures. The introduction of moments of uncertainty in the process produces glitches that are embraced as an opportunity to find novel aesthetic conditions. The profound entanglement with the post-digital realm is discussed as the discursive plane of thinking applied to the project.

title	Spatial Assembly with Self-Play Reinforcement Learning
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2020.1.382
source	ACADIA 2020: Distributed Proximities / Volume I: Technical Papers [Proceedings of the 40th Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-578-95213-0]. Online and Global. 24-30 October 2020. edited by B. Slocum, V. Ago, S. Doyle, A. Marcus, M. Yablonina, and M. del Campo. 382-393.
summary	We present a framework to generate intelligent spatial assemblies from sets of digitally encoded spatial parts designed by the architect with embedded principles of prefabrication, assembly awareness, and reconfigurability. The methodology includes a bespoke constraint-solving algorithm for autonomously assembling 3D geometries into larger spatial compositions for the built environment. A series of graph-based analysis methods are applied to each assembly to extract performance metrics related to architectural space-making goals, including structural stability, material density, spatial segmentation, connectivity, and spatial distribution. Together with the constraint-based assembly algorithm and analysis methods, we have integrated a novel application of deep reinforcement (RL) learning for training the models to improve at matching the multiperformance goals established by the user through self-play. RL is applied to improve the selection and sequencing of parts while considering local and global objectives. The user’s design intent is embedded through the design of partial units of 3D space with embedded fabrication principles and their relational constraints over how they connect to each other and the quantifiable goals to drive the distribution of effective features. The methodology has been developed over three years through three case study projects called ArchiGo (2017–2018), NoMAS (2018–2019), and IRSILA (2019-2020). Each demonstrates the potential for buildings with reconfigurable and adaptive life cycles.

summary	Cities are continuously produced through entropic processes that mediate between complex networked systems and the immediacy urban life. Emergent media technologies inform new relationships between information and matter, code and space to redefine new urban ecosystems. Modes of perceiving, experiencing and inhabiting cities are radically changing along with a radical transformation of the tools that we use to design. Cities as complex and systemic organisms require approaches that engage new multi-scalar strategies to connect the physical layer with the system of networked ecologies. This paper aims at investigating emerging and novel forms of reading and producing urban spaces reimagining the physical city through intelligent and mediated processes. Through data agency and responsive urban processes, the design methodology explored the materialization of a temporary pneumatic structure and membrane that tested material performance through fabrication and sensing practices through the pneuSENSE project developed in July 2016 in New York at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during the 'HyperCities' IaaC- Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia - Global Summer School.

title	El fotomontaje en sección como herramienta del proyecto de paisaje [The photomontage in section as a tool of the landscape project]
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.168-173
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.

title	Reconstrucción robotizada del patrimonio arquitectónico chileno en madera [Robotic reconstruction of Chilean wooden architectural heritage]
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.267-272
summary	We present a proof of concept of parametric 3D models of fully associative geometry and milling tool paths for the robotic machining of traditional timber joints, using a visual robot-programming environment integrated into a popular CAD software. A representative sample of traditional timber joints was obtained from a field survey conducted in Valparaíso, Chile. Each specimen was theoretically validated in nearly half a hundred carpentry treatises and manuals corresponding to the historical period in which the surveyed buildings were built. Parametric robotic milling prototypes were experimentally validated in manufacturing process using two industrial robots with different spindles and cutting tools.

summary	This work reports the results of applying phenomenological methods during the final stage of architecture studies in Universidad del Bío-Bío. The introduced case study delves in the importance of designing research methodologies that promote interdisciplinary studies to achieve an integrated view of urban phenomena. In this work, we advance the understanding of the urban space by exploring graphic resources and digital recordings to characterize the soundscape of “Plaza de la Independencia” in the city of Concepción, Chile. Our findings focus on the relationship between the urban environment, the activities that take place and the sounds recorded in the urban space.

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.417-422
summary	The paper discusses the intersection of two main agendas for Chilean governments that are BIM (Building Information Modeling) and BEAM (Building Environmental Assessment Methods). It shows the state-of-the-art in both fields in Chile as well as in the world, it discusses some previous efforts of integration; it found some new opportunities for collaboration and finally proposes a new framework that brings together BIM and BEAM. The development of the method includes BIM Models, databases and spread sheets for building energy Certification, it finally provides a semi-automatic environment where architects model their design in BIM and this Information is used as an input to the certification process. Potentials and risk of this method are discussed.

title	La Importancia del Dibujo en la Formación del Arquitecto: Equilibrio entre el diseño digital y el analógico [The Importance of Drawing in Architectural Formation: Balance between digital and analog design]
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.207-213
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.
