title	Modelamiento visual de conceptos espaciales en Taller de Diseño Arquitectónico 1-2 [Visual spatial concepts modeling at Architectural Design Studio 1-2]
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.100-105
summary	This research presents results of visual modeling strategies introduction, associated with spatial ideas, being all referred to the work done in the Architectural Design Studio 1-2 at the University of Chile. The applied project methodology seeks to lay the foundations of an incremental draft strategy, which allows a smooth transition between the analog conceptual stages to a digital inclusion of similar criteria of visual modeling in early stages of architectural design. That methodology allows to students to decode their concepts to digital shapes, using point, lines, and triangles as analog-digital translators for each proposal.

title	Freezing the Field: Robotic Extrusion Techniques Using Magnetic Fields
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2017.260
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. 260-265
summary	The introduction of robotics into the field of 3D printing allows designers and fabricators to truly print in three dimensions, focusing more on the volumetric properties of the extrusion rather than two-dimensional slicing and, furthermore, introducing forces that can defy gravity. This paper introduces a new method of robotic extrusion using magnetic fields to construct ferrostructures. Using a custom tool and ferromagnetic material, the research develops a construction process utilizing the off-plane toolpaths of a 6-axis industrial robotic arm to pull, attract, and repel material into a hardened structure. The ferromagnetic liquid forms spikes and connections around the invisible magnetic fields, and upon hardening, freezes the field into a new physical artifact. This extrusion process allows a fabrication that defies gravity. The robotic fabrication process allows microextrusions to build off of one another, scaling the result to approach an architectural scale and bringing a new freedom to the designer and the fabricator.

title	Teaching architecture students to code - Thrills and spills
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2017.1.363

summary	This paper will present the introduction of computer programming for design to students at the Leicester School of Architecture (LSA). It will describe the course and teachings, explain the trials and tribulations, and illustrate the results. An important weight on students of architecture, when it comes to the inclusion of coding into their architectural education, is the pressure of meeting certain professional criteria. The MArch Architecure course results in a professional level award that is prescribed by the ARB, and accredited by the RIBA for Part II exemption from their examinations. Consequently, students are required to articulate through their design work that they have met the learning outcomes associated with the stipulated professional criteria. Given the task of meeting the learning outcomes is challenging enough, the pressure of then learning to code, and to apply that skill to the design process in the course of the traditional process is a pressure few students of architecture seem willing to take on. The paper will conclude with a discussion as to the merits of coding and reason why students of architecture should learn to code.

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.

summary	This research was put together by four Master's students from KU Leuven Faculty of Architecture, who are self-motivated to investigate the possibilities of collective methods for designing within the Urban context. This paper is divided into two parts, the first being a scholarly investigation into learning from the collective mentality shift, and movements; discovering the added values of operating immersion/eversion from the virtual worlds to the physical one and analyzing key factors for engaging the public on online communities. Following, the paper brings to light the challenges the future of urban planning faces during today's digital shift and the solutions possible through the introduction of digital platforms as support to urban planning structures. The second part is the complementation of the first, as the research team showcases the findings by testing out the learned concepts and conducting on-field social experiments. The paper concludes with an analysis of the results, and future directions to the research project.

title	Towards Intelligent Control in Generative Design
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. 630-647.
summary	This position paper proposes and defines the nature of a framework, which explores ways of integrating control system (CS) with machine intelligence for generative design (GD). This paper elaborates about the implications of and the potential for impact on GD. The framework described in this work can be used as an active tool to drive design processes and support decision making process in early stages of architectural design. This type of system can be either automated in nature or adaptive to regular user input as part of interactive design mechanisms. The module of CS in the framework would allow additional guidance during design and therefore reduce the need of manual input to enable a semi-automated design practice for lengthy generative processes. This study on GD reveals emergent properties of the framework, for example the introduction of intelligent control allows guidance of GD to meet specified performance criteria and intended aesthetic expressions with reduced need for user interaction.

title	Digital Design Hermeneutics - Proposing a Metacode for Architectural Pedagogy in the Information Age
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2017.1.303
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. 303-312
summary	This paper forms part of a broader inquiry regarding possible theoretical models for interpreting and understanding digital architectural design. Such models include hermeneutics, activity theory and design protocols. Starting by highlighting the limits of computational methods in an architectural context, it will be attempted to explore certain implications of the introduction of digital media in the design process. Certain elements from the field of hermeneutics will be introduced in order to understand the impact computational logic has on architectural culture especially in a pedagogical setting. It is argued that such an understanding is crucial in order to design effective strategies for architectural design education in the Information Age.

title	Introduction to Playable Voxel-Shape Grammars
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2017.534
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. 534- 543
summary	A shape grammar is a collection of visually defined geometric rules that could be used to automate the generation of formal representations of designs for buildings, cities, products and more. We offer an extension of the shape grammar formalism based entirely on voxel space instead of vectors, which we used for the generation of schematic architectural designs. We describe a method using playability to increase human agency and designer control over the outcome of the generative phase of voxel-shape grammars. The method is presented with an implementation in the environment of Minecraft and employs three guidance mechanisms. To conclude we list a few considerations from our experience in the design of a playable, voxel-shape grammar and point to future work.

title	Design Research Based Method for Digital Fabrication Teaching
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.1.763

summary	The paper describes the application of a standardised teaching method of digital fabrication in architecture. The introduction formulates a pedagogical problem and addresses both methodological and praxiological aspects of the teaching process based on design research. Next, the process is illustrated with a description of three digital fabrication courses where the teaching method was used. The initial implementation took place in 2016 at Faculty of Architecture at Warsaw University of Technology. The author outlines the translation of theoretical work frame into teaching method, presents the course outcomes and provides a critical analysis of results. In 2017, a revised teaching method has been used two times, again at Faculty of Architecture at WUT and at Monash Art Design and Architecture. Both courses are described in a way analogous to the initial exploration. In consequence, the results of the same course conducted in different teaching, conditions are compared. In conclusion, the developed method is evaluated in relation to teaching outcomes.
