summary	This talk describes the foundational concepts of cognitive design computing and then presents some examples. Cognitive computing is concerned with modeling human cognition computationally and using that model as the foundation for constructing computer models of design activities. Human cognition is based on perception, learning and adaptation. Here we present human cognition in terms of situated cognition - cognition involving interaction with an environment. The talk briefly introduces a set of principles for cognitive design computing founded on the three concepts of interaction, constructive memory and situatedness. It then presents two examples of applications of this approach.

title	Contemporary Stereotomic Trait, an Opportunity for the Development of the Volumetric Digital Architecture
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2017.1.739

summary	Stereotomy is generally known in architecture as a stone carving technique for the purpose of constructing masonry assemblies. A deeper analysis reveals stereotomic design processes' ability to resolve multiple structure and construction constrains, derived as underlying geometries and their relationships, into architectural volumetric complexities. The paper argues that the trait, stereotomic geometric negotiations platform, re-examined in a contemporary context, lends itself as a theoretical model for the current digital architecture's pursuits of multiple constraints assimilations within design processes and their physical reflection in formal complexities.

title	Extended modelling - Dynamic approaches applied to design reef habitats at Sydney Harbour
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2017.1.067
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. 67-74
summary	This paper outlines a critical approach to computation in architecture by using multi-agent systems and dynamic simulation tools. Such methods reinforce viewing design as a data-driven process, whereby a problem is analysed to a set of agents and their properties. The related actions assume extensive modelling techniques, recursive experimentation and testing to assist design since the early stages until completion. In reflection, similar methods are employed to tackle problems of content other than architecture. The experiment being discussed is Bio-shelters. It involves designing artificial coral reefs to be placed at the Sydney Harbour, aiming to improve the living conditions of seashell and other endangered organisms. This paper first describes reefs as highly sophisticated ecosystems; then, it proposes methods for designing and constructing ones, further commenting onto their shape, fabrication, materiality and on-site placement, consequently reinforcing that extensive modelling techniques currently applicable in architecture may also respond to different scenarios about our settlements and the environment.

title	Data Mining Tourism Patterns - Call Detail Records as Complementary Tools for Urban Decision Making
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.685

summary	In this study we show how Call Detail Record (CDR) can be used to better understand the travel patterns of visitors. We show how Origin-Destination (OD) Interactive Maps can provide transportation information through CDR. We then use aggregation of CDR to show the differences between the travel patterns of visitors from different countries and of different lengths of stay. We also show that visitors move differently during event periods and non-event periods, reflecting the importance of real-time data available by CDR. From CDR, we can gain more detailed and complete information about how tourists move compared to traditional surveys, which can be used to aid smarter transportation systems and urban resource planning.

title	Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design - The Development of an Assessment System Based on a Green BIM Template
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.623

summary	To construct a building that meets the requirements of certification in terms of environmental friendliness, there must be a process that considers the certification criteria from the initial design phase. However, there are numerous complicated task performance procedures to analyse many required items in detail as well as perceive and apply the data requirements efficiently. Currently, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is gaining attention as a solution for environmental problems in architecture. BIM shows precisely how a virtual building is modelled in the real world, thereby providing an objective information and analysis through a simulation. However, the result values of BIM library or modelling may turn out differently as a result of the work environment of designers or users that is not standardized. Therefore, this study applies the modelled and extracted BIM data using the template and library established in the BIM add-in planning and design phase to review in advance the Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design (G-SEED) assessment by item and manual input of users with the BIM-based (add-in) G-SEED assessment system, thereby providing support to enable users to establish specific strategies in designing green buildings.

title	Emergent order through swarm fluctuations - A framework for exploring self-organizing structures using swarm robotics
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2017.1.075
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. 75-84
summary	In modern architecture, construction processes are based on top down planning, yet in nature but also in vernacular architecture, the shape of shelters/nests is the result of evolutionary material processes which takes place without any global coordination or plan. This work presents a framework for exploring how self-organizing structures can be achieved in a bottom up fashion by implementing a swarm of simple robots(bristle bots). The robots are used as a hardware platform and operate in a modular 2D arena filled with differently shaped passive building blocks. The robots push around blocks and their behaviour can be programmed mechanically by changing the geometry of their body. Through physical experimentation and video analysis the relationships between the properties of the emergent patterns (size, temporal stability) and the geometry of the robot/parts are studied. This work couples a set of agent based design tools with a robust robotic system and a set of analysis tools for generating and actualising emergent 2D structures.

title	Where am I? - Spatial Cognition Inside Building Information Models
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.643
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. 643-652
summary	How do we know what we are looking at while viewing inside Building Information Modelling (BIM) models? Current architectural software typically provides disconnected methods of aiding spatial cognition. There is a strong history of navigation tools developed for controlling our exploration and movement in BIM models, a study by Ruby Darken and John Sibert (1993) found these tools had a strong influence on people's behaviour and understanding of digital space. People perceive and navigate space differently depending on their individual experience with a BIM model, designers and architects build up a detailed cognitive map during the design of a project, while other people have a less detailed comprehension of a project, having only been exposed to select views. This paper will outline key strategies to improve how people comprehend digital space, supporting people in understanding distance and size while inside BIM models. Three design research projects will be presented. The result of the projects define three strategies; Architectural wayshowing, interior-aware transitions, and distance confirmation. Architectural wayshowing needs to be implemented during the design phase, while the remaining two need to be introduced into BIM editing and viewing software.
