title Shared Realities: A Method for Adaptive Design Incorporating Real-Time User Feedback using Virtual Reality and 3D Depth-Sensing Systems
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2017.330
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. 330- 339
summary When designing interactive architectural systems and environments, the ability to gather user feedback in real time provides valuable insight into how the system is received and ultimately performs. However, physically testing or simulating user behavior with an interactive system outside of the actual context of use can be challenging due to time constraints and assumptions that do not reflect accurate social, behavioral, or environmental conditions. Employing evidence based, user-centered design practices from the field of human–computer interaction (HCI) coupled with emerging architectural design methodologies creates new opportunities for achieving optimal system performance and design usability for interactive architectural systems. This paper presents a methodology for developing a mixed reality computational workflow combining 3D depth sensing and virtual reality (VR) to enable iterative user-centered design. Using an interactive museum installation as a case study, user pointcloud data is observed via VR at full scale and in real time for a new design feedback experience. Through this method, the designer is able to virtually position him/herself among the museum installation visitors in order to observe their actual behaviors in context and iteratively make modifications instantaneously. In essence, the designer and user effectively share the same prototypical design space in different realities. Experimental deployment and preliminary results of the shared reality workflow are presented to demonstrate the viability of the method for the museum installation case study and for future interactive architectural design applications. Contributions to computational design, technical challenges, and ethical considerations are discussed for future work.

summary The relationship between clay manufacturing and architectural design has a long trajectory that has been explored since the early 2000s. From a 3D printing or assembly perspective, using clay in combination with automated processes in architecture to achieve computational design solutions is well established. (Yuan, Leach & Menges, 2018). Craft-based clay art, however, still lacks effective computational design integration. With the improvement of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies (Driscoll et al., 2017) and the appearance of digital platforms, new opportunities to integrate clay manufacturing and computational design have emerged. The concept of digitally transferring crafting skills, using holographic guidance and machine learning, could make clay crafting accessible to more workers while creating the potential to share and exchange digital designs via an open-source manufacturing platform. In this context, this research project explores the potential of integrating computational design and clay crafting using AR. Moreover, it introduces a platform that enables AR guidance and the digital transfer of fabrication skills, allowing even amateur users with no prior making experience to produce complex clay components.

title Resilience 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
summary The chosen theme, Resilience Design, evidences the researchers’ concern about issues related to our reality of climate change and natural disasters, associated with the states of vulnerability and risk, having wide effects on society and the way we inhabit territories. These matters are fundamental and highly relevant for the disciplines and in the fields of design and architecture, as they are also important for collaborative work with areas emerging from the arts and human sciences. Thinking about Resilience Design is to set ourselves on new scenarios of reflection and action which, supported by transdisciplinary thinking and collaborative design, allow us to develop a new approach towards our territories and their demands, one that is more contextualized and adjusted to their current and future requirements, a starting point to establish the key elements to drive change in our cities and society. In this sense, technology and digital development, parametric design, the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), in addition to work done with Building Information Modelling (BIM), among many others, have been delivering an enormous amount of tools and possibilities of interaction with living in society, leading to a substantive change in the way of understanding and relating to the built environment and the territories where buildings are sit. This demands a strong commitment to Social Responsibility from our disciplines, besides the necessary landing of cutting-edge technological and digital research and development onto our diverse realities, in order for them to be put at the service of communities in vulnerable environments or with a marked condition of risk, which are subject to constant processes of resilience. Working on Resilience Design allows to support research and productive processes, plus the appearance of new technologies in interdisciplinary contexts, which greatest value is to impact the processes of teaching and professional practice in the different areas related to human habitation. The new professionals will have to take action and immerse themselves into these new scenarios of change and constant adjustment.

summary The fields of architecture and urban planning widely apply spatial analysis based on images. However, many features can influence the spatial conditions, not all of which can be explicitly defined. In this research, we propose a new deep learning framework for extracting spatial features without explicitly specifying them and use these features for spatial analysis and prediction. As a first step, we establish a deep convolution neural network (DCNN) learning problem with omnidirectional images that include depth images as well as ordinary RGB images. We then use these images as explanatory variables in a game engine to predict a subjects' preference regarding a virtual urban space. DCNNs learn the relationship between the evaluation result and the omnidirectional camera images and we confirm the prediction accuracy of the verification data.

summary Do art and design currently have the capacity to motivate reflection on conflicts, inadequacies or contradictions that characterize our society? Simulation, inmateriality, interactivity, virtuality, simultaneity, multidimensionality, interdisciplinarity, are some of the characteristics in which a post-disciplinary culture in art is expressed. This article presents the bases, processes and results of a transversal experience between teaching, research and social extension, which purpose was to explore the capacity of art to investigate and communicate the limitations and potentialities presented by the complex current reality, through the organization of strategies of interdisciplinary collaboration between art, design, architecture and technology.

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.

title Shape the Design with Sound Performance Prediction: A Case Study for Exploring the Impact of Early Sound Performance Prediction on Architectural 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. 115-127.
summary Acoustics is typically considered only late in developed design or even post occupancy, if at all, for specification of finishes and furnishing, and typically with a remedial mindset. In this paper, the role of sound performance as a design driver in increasing the speech privacy of a semi-enclosed meeting space in an open plan interior is studied. Sound performance prediction is applied as an imperative input to inform the meeting space design. The design is the second iteration in an evolving series of meeting spaces, and therefore has benefited from both subjective experiments and objective measurements performed with the first meeting space prototype. This study promotes a design method that offers a strong relationship between the digital simulation of sound performance and design development. By improving the speech privacy of a meeting space by means of purely form, geometry and design decisions, the significance of architecture in tuning the sound performance of a space is investigated.

title Embodied Computation – An Actuated Active Bending Tower: Using Simulation-Model-Free Sensor Guided Search To Reach Posture Goals
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2017.324
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. 324- 329
summary The concept of Embodied Computation is to leverage the combination of abstract computational and material artifact as a method for exploration in the design process. A common approach for the integration of the two realms is to use computational simulation based on the geometric form of the artifact for the prediction of material behavior. This leads to the integration of a geometric model abstraction of the physical artifact into the control software of the actuated device and can produce deviations between the state of the physical construct and the computational state. Here an alternative approach of a soft, actuated, active bending structure is explored. Six fluidic actuators are combined with a six degree of freedom (DOF) sensor for posture feedback. Instead of relying on simulated kinematics to reach a particular posture, the sensor-enabled posture feedback guides a simplex search algorithm to find combinations of pressures in the six actuators that minimize the combined tilting angles for the goal of a level tower top. Rather than simulating the structure computationally, the model is shifted to one of feedback and control, and the structure operates as a physical equation solver returning an x-y-z tilting angle for every set of actuation pressures. Therefore the computational model of the search process is independent of the physical configuration of the structure itself and robust to changes in the environment or the structure itself. This has the future potential for more robust control of non-determined structures and constructs with heterogeneous DOF common in architecture where modeling behavior is difficult.

title Reimagining Braga - Remodeling Bandung's Historical Colonial Streetscape in Virtual Reality
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.023

summary This paper presents the experience of the first phase of remodeling existing historical and colonial district in Bandung, Indonesia, including existing building façade, streetscape and street furniture. Braga Street is chosen as study case because it is a well-known historical street in Bandung with art deco style buildings constructed during Dutch colonial era. By remodeling it, it could help stakeholders to evaluate existing Braga street condition, to test any modification of buildings along the street and to determine specific regulation for the street. In this case, we use Unity3D and Oculus Rift DK2 for remodeling current situation. We gathered feedback from respondents using a questionnaire given after they experienced the model in VR. Many lessons learned from modeling process and respondents' feedback: higher frame rate to make seamless VR experience by having all components on a low poly model and provide smoother movement to prevent visual discomfort. This paper's conclusion gives suggestions for anyone who want to start architecture modeling in virtual reality for the very first time and how to optimize it.

summary Virtual reality provides a heightened sense of immersion and spatial awareness that provides a unique opportunity for designers to perceive and evaluate scale and space. At the same time, traditional sketches and small-size physical models provide tactile feedback that allow designers to create, comprehend, and explore complex geometric relationships. Through the development of vSpline, a modeling application for virtual reality, we explore the potential for design within a virtual spatial environment to blur the boundaries between digital and physical stages of design, and seek to combine the best of both virtual and analog worlds. By using spline-based closed meshes created directly in three-dimensional space, our software provides the capabilities to design, modify, and save the information in the virtual world and seamlessly convert the data to evaluate the printing of 3D physical models. We identify and discuss important questions that arise regarding relationships of perception of scale, digital-to-physical domains, and new methods of input and manipulation within a 3D immersive space.

summary This paper presents the outline and the achieved results of an experimental study developed to understand the differences on how close architecture spaces with distinct geometric characteristics at contour level, including rounded, curvilinear and sharp, rectilinear elements, are perceived and evaluated. In order to do so, eighteen virtual reality architecture spaces were evaluated by thirty-two test-subjects according to like/dislike aesthetic judgments. As expected, the tested subjects showed a higher level of preference for spaces with rounded, curvilinear contour elements. On another way, when the level of space curvature was high, considering the whole space surface and not only the contour of plan transitions, the level of preference decreased significantly. These results support the idea that rounded, curvilinear elements are interpreted as being more pleasant and preferred than sharp, rectilinear ones and create new knowledge on the how the levels of such preference are more accurate for moderate rather than radical curvature rates.

summary The digital fabrication of monolithic shell structures is presenting some challenges related to the interface between computational design and fabrication techniques, such as the methods chosen for the suitable parametrization of the geometry based on materiality characteristics and construction constrains, the digital optimization criteria of variables, and the translation of the relevant code used for digital fabrication. Specifically, the translation from the digital to the physical when a definite materiality appears during the digital fabrication process proves to be a crucial step, which is typically approached as a linear and predetermined sequence. This often-difficult step offers the potential of embedding a certain level of interactivity between the fabricator and the materialized model during the fabrication process in order to allow for real time adjustments or corrections. This paper features monolithic shell construction processes that promote a simple interface of live interaction between the fabricator and the tool control during the digital fabrication process. The implementation of novel digital and physical methods will be explored, offering the possibility of being combined with automated fabrication actions controlled by real time inputs with virtual reality [VR] influenced by 3d scanning and 3d CAD programs, and the possibility of incorporating augmented reality [AR].

summary This paper focus on the development and evaluation of a computer tool that enriches physical scale models of buildings, which are commonly used during architecture and civil engineering design processes. The main goal of this work is to enable designers, namely architects, to use the affordances of the physical scale models, by enhancing them with digital characteristics that can be easily changed, allowing an enriched interaction of the designer with such models. Our in-house developed Augmented Reality tool, referred to as ARch4models, augments the user experience with visual features and interactive capabilities, not possible to accomplish with physical models (see this video in https://goo.gl/5zbdTQ). The tool allows the coherent registration between the real and the digital in the same space. Satisfaction evaluation studies were conducted that have shown that ARch4models improves the building design process when compared with a traditional methodology employing solely physical scale models.

We compare when architects designed mass volumes of buildings in an marker-based mobile Augmented Reality (AR) application with that of when they used a collaborative 3D Virtual World. The massing strategy in the AR environment was an additive approach that is to collaboratively design the small parts to make the whole. Alignment and arrangement of the parts were not the main concerns of the designers in AR, instead the functional development of the design proposal, bodily engagements with the design representation, framing and re-framing of the given context and parameters become the discussion topics.

summary It has been proposed that, after the internet age, we are now entering a new era of the '/Augmented Age/' (King, 2016). Physician Michio Kaku imagined the future of architects will be relying heavily on Augmented Reality technology (Kaku, 2015). Augmented reality technology is not a new technology and has been evolving rapidly. In the last three years, the technology has been applied in mainstream consumer devices (Coppens, 2017). This opened up possibilities in every aspect of our daily lives and it is expected that this will have a great impact on every field of consumer's technology in near future, including design and fabrication. What is the future of design and making? What kind of new digital fabrication paradigm will emerge from inevitable technological development? What kind of impact will this have on the built environment and industry? FlowMorph is a research project developed in the Bartlett School of Architecture, B-Pro AD with the collaboration of the authors and students as a 12 month MArch programme, we developed a unique design project trying to answer these questions which will be introduced in this paper.

These creative exercises bring forward concepts of affordance of musico-spatial representations, a theoretical 'musico-perspectival hinge' and the continuum of performance, notation and representation.

summary Security planning is a vital part of the operation and management phase in a building’s life cycle. Ideally, this will be addressed during the building design phase. However, reality often differs from this ideal. In the real world, information such as floor plans tend to insufficiently describe or imperfectly match physical buildings, and must be surveyed and re-worked during security planning. Because of this, security companies require two kinds of staff: those in the security business and those in charge of planning, including floor plan verification. This research focused on creating an efficient way to help staff in this work environment develop a system of security planning for buildings and facilities using a rule-based approach in a tailormade CAD system. In this research, we developed a new 3D CAD system for desktops and mobile devices, which specializes in security planning using a game-engine. To avoid errors during security planning, a rule-based check system was developed and integrated into the CAD system. The rule-set of this rule base was built from the security planning manual, including guidelines on equipment layout and wiring in various situations, which could then be used in the development of an automated check. This research describes the method of system development and final results.

title Virtual and Augmented Reality in Architectural Design and Education: An Immersive Multimodal Platform to Support Architectural Pedagogy
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. 513-532.
summary Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality research in the architecture field show a variety of possible uses of systems to accompany designers, laymen and decision makers in their architectural design process. This article provides a survey of VR and AR devices among a corpus of papers selected from conferences and journals on CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design). A closer look at some specific research projects highlights their potentials and limits, which formalize milestones for future challenges to address. Identifying advantages and drawbacks of those devices gave us insights to propose an alternative type of system, CORAULIS, including both VR and SAR technologies, in order to support collaborative design to be implemented in a pedagogical environment.
