summary	Abstract:Due to the widespread of computational processes techniques, many manuals and modern automatic shading systemshave been developed. Although, of their high environmental performance, most of these systems failed to adapt neitherto the morphological configuration nor to the special character of the historical contexts. Thus, empowerment the roleof the bio-climatic design process in reconstructing the courtyard house in Aleppo post-war requires translating theform and structure of the vernacular architectural elements into adaptive and dynamic ones, for emerging newinnovative solutions with high environmental responsive. The research adopts this hypothesis for developing a newshading screen system with a kinetic structure technique. An evolutionary multi-criteria optimization for geneticalgorithm technique is used and integrated with bio-climatic tools such as Ladybug and Honeybee plug-ins forGrasshopper and Rhino software, for obtaining the optimum adaptive kinetic Mashrabia that enables reviving theenvironmental responsive in the traditional courtyard house of Aleppo post-war.

summary	"Architectural harmony with natural systems - including natural light - is essential to the wellbeing of building occupants" (Shrum, 2017). A preliminary study of existing daylight recommendations in standards and sustainability certificates, applied in Denmark, revealed a neglectance of the importance of receiving direct sunlight in dwellings. The qualities of sunlight were defined through a modest qualitative analysis, resulting in five parameters: Sunlight Hours, Winter Sun, Morning Sun, Golden Hours and Magic Moments. These were defined as specific time periods supported by research on the visual and non-visual effects on well-being. The parameters were subsequently translated into a parametric analysis tool, using design application Rhinoceros 3D and elaborating on a new usage of the design software Ladybug Tools. This analysis tool is predicted to be of high use to identify problematic apartments in the architectural design phase, to compare different design proposals and to meet the individual needs of new occupants.

title	Bibil: A Performance-Based Framework to Determine Built Form Guidelines
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2017.630
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. 630- 639
summary	City built-form guidelines act as durable constraints on building design decisions. Such guidelines directly impact energy, comfort and other performance conditions. Existing urban design and planning methods only consider a narrow range of potential design scenarios, with rudimentary performance criteria, resulting in suboptimal urban designs. Bibil is a software plugin for the Rhinoceros3D/Grasshopper3D CAD modeler that addresses this gap through the synthesis of design space exploration methods to help design teams optimize guidelines for environmental and energy performance criteria over the life cycle of the city. Bibil consists of three generative and data management modules. The first module simulates development scenarios from street and block information through time, the second designs appropriate architectural typology, and the third abstracts the typologies into a lightweight analysis model for detailed thermal load and energy simulation. State-of-the-art performance simulation is done via the Ladybug Analysis Tools Grasshopper3D plugin, and further bespoke analysis to explore the resulting design space is achieved with custom Python scripts.This paper first introduces relevant background for automated exploration of urban design guidelines. Then the paper surveys the state-of-the-art in design and performance simulation tools in the urban domain. Next the paper describes the beta version of the tool’s three modules and its application in a built form study to assess urban canyon performance in a major North American city. Bibil enables the exploration of a broader range of potential design scenarios, for a broader range of performance criteria, over a longer period of time.
