title	Generative housing: a shape grammar to design and to build social houses
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. 331-337
summary	This paper shows the development of a system to generate customized small housing projects. The process of housing construction usually involves investment for the development of the project and for the management of the building process. In small housing, this investment is left aside for economic reasons. However, due to lack of it, the project may not be adequate and its construction can be even more costly. Aiming to contribute to this issue, this paper presents the creation of a generative design system, a shape grammar, that seeks to reinterpret the traditional design/construction process of housing.

title	Shape Grammar and Social Housing: recognizing patterns in favelas’ buildings
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. 170-175
summary	Social Housing is worldwide problem, especially in underdeveloped countries. In Brazil, people do solve this issue with self-made houses, in irregular land occupations. As a result, those informal settlements, also known as favelas, proliferate in medium and big cities all over the country, in very poor infrastructure. On the other hand, governmental policies for social housing development are often criticized, because of several reasons, including architectural design, frequently unfit for the families assisted. The present work observes the architecture developed in self-made houses at Favela da Rocinha and presents Shape Grammar as an instrument for analysis of frequent solutions, in order to provide data for adequate architectural design.

title	Understanding the genesis of form in Brazilian informal settlements: modelling the environment as a preliminary approach to design
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. 552-559
summary	This work is part of a larger research that proposes an alternative approach to housing for low-income people, based on the model of Brazilian favelas, with the goal of generating housing solutions that are more adapted to physical conditions, affordable, and spatially rich. This paper presents how the favela Santa Marta (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) was modeled through three types of models: digital, immersive and computational/ analytic model. The argument is that by using a more holistic modelling, it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the genesis and formal structure of informal settlements and develop better approaches for tackling related challenges.

summary	HOPLA (Home Planner) is a computer-aided design system aimed at simplifying customization of house design. It merges aspects of user-centered computer-aided design with machine-centered computerized design, as defined by Negroponte in The Architecture Machine. The tool was developed to fulfill mass-customization principles without compromising mass production efficiency and to support users' participation in design processes to help them formulate expectations and search for design solutions. We describe the details of the system development and its possible use in the process of mass-customization and participatory design of single-family houses. The system consists of two core elements: an algorithm based on a generic grammar responsible for generating design solutions in relation to user input, and a Tangible User Interface allowing users to introduce data and to control the process in an intuitive way. The main challenge in developing the system was to synchronize the freedom of user's design decisions with the rigor of machine's verification process.

title	From Pattern Making to Acoustic Panel Making Utilizing Shape Grammars
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.477
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. 477-486
summary	This paper presents the application of shape grammars in a real case design problem. The design problem is stated as developing computational acoustic panel solution for classroom with various acoustic problems by modifying 2D pattern, which basically utilizes shape grammars. The study demonstrates interdisciplinary environment of design education and discussions of shape grammars in acoustic panel design and making. It includes different methods to design, like intuitive tendencies, computational thinking, computational tools, and computer simulations. The rule sets of the 2D (pencil-paper-based) pattern are intuitively created by the designer with simultaneous studies of understanding shape grammars. The study consists of three stages. The first stage illustrates 2D pattern generation utilizing computational thinking via shape grammar methodology, second stage illustrates computer generation of 2D pattern with the help of computational tools, and the third stage utilization and modification of this 2D pattern into 3D acoustic panel with feedbacks of computer simulations.

title	Shape Grammar applied to urban morphology studies: land subdivision in urbanized areas.
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. 346-352
summary	Currently, the land regulation plans define the urban micro-scale, producing standardized and pre-dimensioned blocks and lots, generating monotony, poor urban quality and high infrastructure costs. In the quest for sustainability, studies point to a density and a certain degree of population density to enable urban infrastructures with qualitative and quantitative gains, through concepts of compactness, completeness and connectivity. This study presents possibilities of batch sizing using the Grammatical method of the Form, through morphological configurations and rules presents possibilities of generation of new formats, distribution of urban lots in the neighborhood Valentina, in João Pessoa - PB and discusses results.

title	Algorithmic Design for Low-Carbon, Low-Cost Housing Construction in Mexico
source	ACADIA 2023: Habits of the Anthropocene: Scarcity and Abundance in a Post-Material Economy [Volume 1: Projects Catalog of the 43rd Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 979-8-9860805-8-1]. Denver. 26-28 October 2023. edited by A. Crawford, N. Diniz, R. Beckett, J. Vanucchi, M. Swackhamer 34-38.
summary	Mexico is one of the most urbanized countries in the Global South, and simultaneously faces a rapidly increasing population and a deluge of inadequate housing (URBANET 2019). In 2016, it was estimated that 40 percent of all private residences in Mexico were considered inadequate by UN-Habitat (UN-Habitat 2018). As informal housing constitutes over half of all Mexican housing construction, the most vulnerable groups of the population are particularly impacted. Therefore, there is a serious need to innovate in the area of low-cost building construction for housing in Mexico. This research explores how shape-optimized concrete and earth construction could help provide adequate housing without jeopardizing the country’s commitment to sustainability.

title	Local Adaptation of Modern Architecture - A Grammar for Hajjar’s Domestic Architecture
source	Odysseas Kontovourkis (ed.), Sustainable Computational Workflows [6th eCAADe Regional International Workshop Proceedings / ISBN 9789491207143], Department of Architecture, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus, 24-25 May 2018, pp. 15-20
keywords	The purpose of this study is to analyze Abraham William Hajjar's single-family houses in State College, PA, using shape grammar as a computational design methodology. Hajjar was a member of the architecture faculty at the Pennsylvania State College (now The Pennsylvania State University), a practitioner in State College and an influential figure in the history of architecture in the area. Shape grammars are used specifically to verify and describe the influences of modern architecture as defined by Hitchcock and Johnson (1932) and traditional American architecture in the area on Hajjar's domestic architecture. The underlying hypothesis is that the work of Hajjar is the result of a hybridity phenomenon that will be traced through a computational design methodology. The first step in this endeavor is to establish the single-family architectural language of Hajjar, which is briefly described in this paper. Future steps will aim at verifying and describing the hybridity between modern architecture and traditional architecture in his work by comparing Hajjar's grammar with grammars encoding modern and traditional architecture.

title	Generative BIM Automation Strategies for Prefabricated Multi-Family Housing Design
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.1.247
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. 247-256
summary	The increasing housing shortage in contemporary Poland calls for efficient ways of design and construction. In the context of time efficiency and shrinking manpower, prefabrication is considered as one of the means of introducing low and middle income housing to the market. The article presents the process of developing an experimental tool for aiding multi-family housing architectural design with the use of prefabrication. We use the potential of BIM technology as a flexible environment for comparing multiple design options and, therefore, supporting the decision-making process. The presented experiment is realized in the Autodesk Revit environment and incorporates custom generative scripts developed in Dynamo-for-Revit and Grasshopper. The prototype tool analyzes an input Revit model and simulates a prefabricated alternative based on the user-specified boundary conditions. We present our approach to the analyzing and the splitting of the input model as well as five different strategies of performing the simulation within the Revit environment.

summary	We present a shape grammar plug-in for Grasshopper that allows shapes and shape rules to be defined in a parametric manner, even if the rule matching mechanism does not support parametric rules. The plug-in supports shape emergence and provides support for visually enumerating rule applications. We reflect on the interaction between parametric or associative modelling and rule-based generation within the context of using this plug-in.

summary	The introduction of new technologies in design areas is due, in large part, to the rapid development of the computer industry. This new paradigm has created tools and creative possibilities in the routine of several professionals. The Graphic Expression Department is responsible for disciplines that include the knowledge of Graphical Geometry and different approaches to graphically represent projects from different areas of knowledge. Thus, the present experiment presents a possibility of updating the teaching of representation from the introduction of Shape Grammar and through digital tools, in particular, the use of parametric design, visual programming and rapid prototyping.

summary	Technological developments in construction always bring new expectations in terms of design possibilities. The use of digital tools both in design exploration and applied to explore new forms of computer controlled manufacture provide opportunities for the emergence of new tectonics. Because these transformations change our construction reality fast and with impacts never seen before, it is important that architectural education follows such change and prepares students for what will be their future really, making them capable to accept and incorporate the tectonic implications of digital tools and construction methods in the way they design. This paper shows a tutored approach to mass customized housing resorting to 3D printed parametric modular construction.Please write your abstract here by clicking this paragraph.

summary	Knowledge of geometric properties of surfaces is crucial for resolution of many manufacturing problems. Developability is an important feature of a surface that allows its manufacture from a flat "strip" of a "flexible" and "non-deformable" material. Digital fabrication technologies and parametric design tools, based on knowledge of geometry, are changing designer way to think. Our research in the field of non-developable surfaces fabrication move from paneling to "kerfing". This technique allows to transform a rigid material in a flexible one. The main problem to solve is how to cut the flat shape to obtain the design surface.

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	A persistent challenge to the more widespread use of shape grammars in architectural research is the creation of rules and rule sets for application in design contexts, while leaving space for design creativity despite the limitations of a rule-based system. A hybrid of associative and rule-based approaches may alleviate this. We present one such development, a Grasshopper shape grammar plug-in that embeds a rule-based approach within a parametric modelling environment. It supports shape emergence, visual enumeration of rule application results, and the parametric definition of shapes and shape rules even when selecting a non-parametric rule matching mechanism. Grasshopper's ability to handle geometries and text together allows for external descriptions and labels as attributes to points, enabling definition and application of compound, geometric and description rules. Well-known examples from shape grammar literature are implemented using the plug-in, with a focus on rule definition and application in the context of interaction between the parametric modelling environment and the rule-based interpreter, and simultaneous use of geometry, descriptions, and descriptions as attributes in rules.

summary	The convergence of digital design and fabrication technologies have offered architects and designers the means by which to develop customized architectural artifacts, ones that goes beyond the standards of "one size fits all". Such applications have been applied extensively in various architectural practices, and specifically in the realm of industrialized building production, given that they present a suitable model. Although unrecognized within standard precast concrete production, current research acknowledges the need for advanced computer applications for shifting the industry into a digitized process. This paper represent a critical phase of an ongoing research endeavor that aims at rethinking the precast concrete production in the UAE, and MENA region for housing typologies. The project explores possibilities of a new protocol that is focused from design to production, relying on performative design strategies, and possible optimized for large format 3D printing of concrete elements. The aim is to develop an integrated façade panels system that is tailored for design and production; an approach that goes beyond current industry practices.
