title	SISTEMA NERVI - Sustainable Production of Optimised Floor Slabs Through Digital Fabrication

summary	'Sistema Nervi' (the Nervi System) invented by Pier Luigi Nervi greatly economised the production of complex concrete forms optimised in both material usage and structurally. However it did not translate well into other contexts due to labour and material considerations (Leslie, 2018). This paper explores novel methodologies of producing optimised floor slabs and concrete structures, using digital fabrication techniques, focusing on both labour economisation and sustainability principles. A module from the Australia Square lobby slab has been used as the set geometry and was reproduced using differing techniques of fabrication for a comparative study. The study was conducted at scale (1:20). The viability for production at full scale (1:1) for manufacturing is discussed. The assessment criteria for the tests are divided into four categories: Cost, Time, Performance, and Sustainability. 3D printing of PLA plastic and ceramic clay extrusion printing has been used to produce removable or degradable formworks. These technologies have been selected due to their current market availability and associated costs. This study hopes to introduce improved methodologies for producing optimized concrete forms, as well as the sustainability potentials of a degradable formwork such as ceramic clay. Both systems were ultimately able to produce workable formworks for optimised shapes and showed promise for reducing labour involved as well as presenting with material sustainability for discussion.

title	About (relatively) common operations in digital architectures
source	SIGraDi 2018 [Proceedings of the 22nd Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Brazil, São Carlos 7 - 9 November 2018, pp. 31-36
summary	Many different types of algorithms have been associated to gain complex shapes. They give rise to a large set of unusual forms, through calculations based on computational geometries, self-organizing systems, rule-based systems, and optimization, often still assembled in morphogenesis principles. Many of these discoveries mimic physical, chemical, and even behavioral principles at the edge of this code-translated knowledge. Thus, any new form, the result of this exploratory perspective, can mean some progress. If the understanding of specific algorithmic characteristics has validity (for precise programming), generic concepts are also important for simplifying procedures and presenting general concepts of the result.

title	Prototyping Adaptive Architecture - Balancing Flexibility of Folding Patterns and Adaptability of Micro-Kinetic Movements

summary	The design process of dynamic architecture has been an emerging topic in recent studies, in which researchers try to find an effective method of generating and controlling adaptive components. In this paper, we present a digital-physical modelling process that seeks to explore tectonic fusion of origami folding patterns and micro-kinetic movements. A flexible modular prototype system is developed and evaluated through combining origami-based fabrication simulation and mathematical characterisation mimicking the pinecone's nastic movements. The modular design system is then applied to an urban site as a test case study. The results show how the pinecone-like nastic movements may be translated into design and fabrication of an adaptive architecture. We discuss the lessons learned from the digital-physical prototyping process finding the balance between geometric flexibility and micro-kinetic adaptability.

title	The Game of Urban Attractiveness - Shape Grammars and Cellular Automata Based Tool for Prediction of Human's Behaviour in Cities
source	Kepczynska-Walczak, A, Bialkowski, S (eds.), Computing for a better tomorrow - Proceedings of the 36th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, Lodz University of Technology, Lodz, Poland, 19-21 September 2018, pp. 629-638
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.629
summary	This paper presents a way to predict people's interest in a public space based on a space's "attractiveness" as a movement attractor. Two generative systems are integrated into the prediction model. The Cellular Automata (CA) is the core of simulation engine and the Shape Grammars (SG) is a descriptive language for the CA rules. Both, CA and SG exhibit complementary features counteracting each other's drawbacks. Having translated social behaviour into a set of rules, the CA algorithm applies them to distinguish people's leisure interest attractors from places with a minor attractiveness. The tool is designed to be used at various urban scales by city planners and venture capitalists. It is dedicated towards the early stage of planning process to evaluate the future attractiveness of places. The case study is located in the central district of Lisbon, Bairro Alto. One of the important aspects are description of the rules with SG and interpretation of the CA results. Implemented in Python for Grasshopper and visualised in Rhinoceros3D. The article does not present the final solution, rather is an experimental attempt to interpret and describe the already explored urban context of Cellular Automata.

title	In Place Detailing. Combining 3D printing and robotic assembly
source	ACADIA // 2018: Recalibration. On imprecisionand infidelity. [Proceedings of the 38th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-692-17729-7] Mexico City, Mexico 18-20 October, 2018, pp. 312-321

summary	This research presents a novel construction method that links robotic assembly and in place 3D printing. Rather than producing custom joints in a separate prefabrication process, our approach enables creating highly customized connection details that are 3D printed directly onto off-the-shelf building members during their assembly process. Challenging the current fashion of highly predetermined joints in digital construction, detailing in place offers an adaptive fabrication method, enabling the expressive tailoring of connection details addressing its specific architectural conditions. In the present research, the in place detailing strategy is explored through robotic wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), a metal 3D printing technique based on MIG welding. The robotic WAAM process coupled with localization and path-planning strategies allows a local control of the detail geometry enabling the fabrication of customized welded connections that can compensate material and construction tolerances. The paper outlines the potential of 3D printing in place details, describes methods and techniques to realize them and shows experimental results that validate the approach.

summary	Well, hello. Thanks for having me. Hopefully, not everyone is too exhausted. But we'll get through it. So, you know, in some ways I feel like a guest, an intruder -- there's different words -- to a conference such as this. I am trained as a graphic designer and a photographer. But somehow, you know, I find myself between disciplines. And one of them is architecture. What we will talk about today is a project that started around 2018 called ""Model Home"", which is sort of the larger chapter. Most of the work I do is either in writing essays, as well as film. There's not enough time to show the film today, but if you are interested, just come and ask me after.

summary	The study is based on the current context of digital creation methodologies and aims to discuss the use of the Anamorphic technique as Urban Art and its role in the creation of new meanings. That objective is to study the technique of Anamorphosis as an instrument that enhances public space, allowing the creation of a work of artistic value as a means of appropriating free spaces. By means of four actions carried out within a research group of a Brazilian public university, the relations between anamorphic object and observers were analyzed from Peircean Semiotics.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2018.1.195
summary	This paper presents a digital fabrication process for concrete which may be deployed for surface texturing, volumetric modification of material properties and 2D and 3D forming. We process concrete in its slurry state by locally injecting chemicals in solution which cause vigorous effervescent reaction to take place. By precise and controlled dispensing, using computer software and robotic hardware developed, we produce local differentiation in the finally set concrete artefacts. Our work contributes to additive and subtractive 3D manufacturing as well as functionally graded materials fabrication.

summary	Visibility plays an important role in perception and use of an urban design, and thus often becomes a target of design analysis. This work presents a fast method of evaluating various visibility-based design characteristics, such as isovists or insolation exploiting the GPU rendering pipeline and compute shaders. The proposed method employs a two-stage algorithm on each point of interest. First, it projects the visible space around a vantage point onto an equirectangular map. Second, it folds the map using a flexibly defined function into a single value that is associated with the vantage point. Being executed on a grid of points in a 3D scene, it can be visualized as a heat map or utilized by another algorithm for further design analysis. The developed system provides nearly real-time analysis tools for an early-stage design process to a broad audience via web services.

title	Cyclopean Cannibalism. A method for recycling rubble

summary	Each year, the United States discards 375 million tons of concrete construction debris to landfills (U.S. EPA 2016), but this is a new paradigm. Past civilizations cannibalized their constructions to produce new architectures (Hopkins 2005). This paper interrogates one cannibalistic methodology from the past known as cyclopean masonry in order to translate this valuable method into a contemporary digital procedure. The work contextualizes the techniques of this method and situates them into procedural recipes which can be applied in contemporary construction. A full-scale prototype is produced utilizing the described method; demolition debris is gathered, scanned, and processed through an algorithmic workflow. Each rubble unit is then minimally carved by a robotic arm and set to compose a new architecture from discarded rubble debris. The prototype merges ancient construction thinking with digital design and fabrication methodologies. It poses material cannibalism as a means of combating excessive construction waste generation.

summary	Tools and methods used by architects always had an impact on the way building were designed. With the change in design methods and new approaches towards creation process, they became more than ever before crucial elements of the creation process. The automation of architects work has started with computational functions that were introduced to traditional computer-aided design tools. Nowadays architects tend to use specified tools that suit their specific needs. In some cases, they use artificial intelligence. Despite many similarities, they have different advantages and disadvantages. Therefore the change in the design process is more visible and unseen before solution are brought in the discipline. The article presents methods of applying the selected artificial intelligence algorithms: swarm intelligence, neural networks and evolutionary algorithms in the architectural practice by authors. Additionally research shows the methods of analogue data input and output approaches, based on vision and robotics, which in future combined with intelligence based algorithms, might simplify architects everyday practice. Presented techniques allow new spatial solutions to emerge with relatively simple intelligent based algorithms, from which many could be only accomplished with dedicated software. Popularization of the following methods among architects, will result in more intuitive, general use design tools.

title	Sentient Concrete - Developing Embedded Thermal and Thermochromic Interactions for Architecture and Built Environment
source	T. Fukuda, W. Huang, P. Janssen, K. Crolla, S. Alhadidi (eds.), Learning, Adapting and Prototyping - Proceedings of the 23rd CAADRIA Conference - Volume 2, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, 17-19 May 2018, pp. 545-554
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2018.2.545
summary	Historically, architectural design focused on adaptation of built environment to serve human needs. Recently embedded computation and digital fabrication have advanced means to actuate physical infrastructure in real-time. These 'reactive spaces' have typically explored movement and media as a means to achieve reactivity and physical deformation (Chatting et al. 2017). However, here we recontextualize 'reactive' as finding new mechanisms for permanent and non-deformable everyday materials and environments. In this paper, we describe our ongoing work to create a series of complex forms - modular concrete panels - using thermal, tactile and thermochromic responses controlled by embedded networked system. We create individualized pathways to thermally actuate these surfaces and explore expressive methods to respond to the conditions around these forms - the environment, the systems that support them, their interaction and relationships to human occupants. We outline the design processes to achieve thermally adaptive concrete panels, illustrate interactive scenarios that our system enables, and discuss opportunities for new forms of interactivity within the built environment.

summary	This work aims to analyze the use of digital platforms in urban mobility. It describes examples of applications and platforms grouped by their function, as the way they assist physical displacements in the urban environment. 25 platforms were catalogued in four main categories: mobility orientation, on-demand transport, vehicle sharing and ride-sharing. The use of digital technologies reveals some potentialities and limitations of arrangements, uses and appropriations that deserve to be analyzed in order to understand the possibilities of action facing the challenges posed for urban mobility.

title	Programmable Paper Cutting - A Method to Digitally Fabricate Transformable, Complex Structural Geometry

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.489
summary	This paper presents a computational approach to generating architectural forms for large spanning structures based on a "paper-cutting" technique. Using this approach, a flat sheet is cut and scored in such a way that a small application of force prompts it to expand into a three-dimensional structure. Our computational system can be used to estimate optimal cutting patterns and to predict the resulting structural characteristics, thereby providing greater rigor to what has previously been an ad-hoc and experimental design approach. To develop the model, we analyzed paper-cutting techniques, extracted the relevant formative parameters, and created a simulation using finite element analysis. We then used a data-mining approach through 400 simulations and applied a regression analysis to create a prediction model. Given a small number of input variables from the designer, this model can rapidly and precisely predict the transformation volume of a paper-cutting pattern. Additional structural characteristics will be modelled in future work. The use of this tool makes paper-cut design approaches more practical by changing a non-systematic, labor-intensive design process into a more precise and efficient one.

summary	The concept of architectural tectonics relates simultaneously to pragmatic and poetic aspects of the materiality, aiming the expression of these concerns in the result of the Form. Far from only a theoretical concerning, these design decisions affect how our society employs its natural and human resources. This work takes the Aronoff Center for Design and Arts (1988-1996), by Peter Eisenman, as a case study for a graphical analysis, dealing with the consequences of a free-form morphogenesis to its construction and investigating the tectonics of the contemporary architecture.

summary	Daylight standards are one of the main factors for the shape and image of cities. With urbanization and ongoing densification of cities, new planning regulations are emerging in order to manage access to sun light. In Estonia a daylight standard defines the rights of light for existing buildings and the direct solar access requirement for new premises. The solar envelope method and environmental simulations to compute direct sun light hours on building façades can be used to design buildings that respect both daylight requirements. However, no existing tool integrates both methods in an easy to use manner. Further, the assessment of façade performance needs to be related to the design of interior layouts and of building clusters to be meaningful to architects. Hence, the present work presents a computational design workflow for the evaluation and optimisation of high density building clusters in urban environments in relation to direct solar access requirements and selected types of floor plans.

summary	This work presents a design for mass customization of modular housing applied to the Brazilian case, through modeling in grasshopper. These parametric tools contribute to an increase in the flexibility of the decisions and allow the execution, generating a wide range of solutions for the same problem. As a case study, it was considered the environmental disaster which occurred in the city of Mariana, whose homeless population remains displaced. Although in the initial phase of studies, this modular housing model aims to discuss principles of variability, flexibility, and pre-fabrication, delegating more decisions to end-users of large-scale social housing.

summary	In the recent decades, the high-resolution remote sensing, through 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry benefited historic buildings maintenance, conservation, and restoration works. However, the dense surface models (DSM) generated from the data capture have nonstructured features as lack of topology and semantic discretization. The process to create a semantically oriented 3D model from the DSM, using the of Building Information Model technology, is a possibility to integrate historical information about the life cycle of the building to maintain and improving architectural valued building stock to its functional level and safeguarding its outstanding historical value. Our approach relies on an ontology-based system to represent the knowledge related to the building. Our work outlines a model-driven approach based on the hybrid data acquisition, its post-processing, the identification of the building' main features for the parametric modeling, and the development of an ontological map integrated with the BIM model. The methodology proposed was applied to a large-scale industrial historical building, located in Brazil. The DSM were compared, providing a qualitative assessment of the proposed method.

title	Integrating Crowdsourcing & Gamification in an Automatic Architectural Synthesis Process
source	Kepczynska-Walczak, A, Bialkowski, S (eds.), Computing for a better tomorrow - Proceedings of the 36th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, Lodz University of Technology, Lodz, Poland, 19-21 September 2018, pp. 439-444
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.1.439
summary	This work covers the methodological approach that is used to gather information from the wisdom of crowd, to be utilized in a machine learning process for the automatic generation of minimal apartment units. The flexibility in the synthesis process enables the generation of apartment units that seem to be random and some are unsuitable for dwelling. Thus, the synthesis process is required to classify units based on their suitability. The classification is deduced from opinions of human participants on previously generated units.
