summary	In 2018 I was invited to visit the archipelago of Kiribati, located in the Pacific Ocean around 1000 miles from Hawaii. A big ocean state, Kiribati holds a land mass of around 315 sq. miles and an oceanic economic zone of 1,328,890 sq. mi. Tarawa, the most inhabited of the islands peaks at around 3 m above sea level. I went to Kiribati in part to meet with Dr Teweiariki Teaero, a renowned scholar, poet and educator who had directed the Oceania Center at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji for many years before returning to his homeland where at the time he had been planning on running for government. Teweiariki spoke with me at length about the status of Kiribati as one of the already most critically affected frontline nations. I asked him what was a lesson for non-Pacific Islanders to learn about understanding everyday life there. He said to me “Two ears, one mouth, don’t talk too much. Learn to listen more. Not only to hear, but to be able to develop another thing and that is to be able to interpret. These things are different, they occur at different levels. The hearing and the interpretation of the sound…it’s very much part of our world” (Teaero 2018).

title	Virtual Paths: Collaborations in Narratives of Cultural Heritage of São Carlos-SP
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. 955-960
summary	The "Virtual Paths: Collaborations in Narratives of Cultural Heritage of São Carlos" Extension Project sought to analyze the use of the QR Code, which directs the user to an online portal containing information about historical buildings in São Carlos, to complement the dissemination of the city's cultural heritage. As a pilot case, during the year of research, QR Codes were developed for the São Carlos Railway Station. This process seeks to diversify the dissemination of information on heritage and promote greater engagement of the local community, as an invitation to an augmented tour through the monuments of the city.

title	Impressions of a touristic route: between the null-dimensional and the three-dimensional
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. 638-643
summary	This paper reports the experience of a public university digital manufacturing laboratory in producing tactile models to support a tourist route in a historic center. The report includes the reflection on the social and formative, cultural and professional meaning attributed to this production. For this, it uses the theory of the climbing of abstraction, by Vilém Flusser, problematizing the dimensional logic of the media used. This is the representation of the architectural set of the surroundings of a square. Architecture students were involved in the production of the models which were validated by visually impaired individuals.

title	Ceramic Morphologies. Precision and control in paste-based additive manufacturing
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. 350-357

summary	Additive manufacturing techniques (AMT), commonly referred to as 3D printing, are emerging as a new area of study for the production of ceramic elements at the architectural scale. AMT may allow architectural designers to break from the established means of designing with ceramic elements – a process where designs are typically confined to a limited selection of building components produced by machine, die or fixture. In this paper, we report a method for the design and additive manufacture of customizable ceramic masonry elements via paste-based extrusion. A novel digital workflow allowed for precise control of part design, and generated manufacturing parameters such as toolpath geometry and machine code. 3D scans of a selection of elements provide an initial analysis of print fidelity. We discuss the current constraints of this process and identify several on-going research trajectories generated because of this research.

title	Fresh Eyes A framework for the application of machine learning to generative architectural design, and a report of activities at Smartgeometry 2018
source	Ji-Hyun Lee (Eds.) "Hello, Culture!" [18th International Conference, CAAD Futures 2019, Proceedings / ISBN 978-89-89453-05-5] Daejeon, Korea, p. 22
summary	This paper presents a framework for the application of Machine Learning (ML) to Generative Architectural Design (GAD), and illustrates this framework through a description of a series of projects completed at the Smart Geometry conference in May of 2018 (SG 2018) in Toronto. Proposed here is a modest modification of a 3-step process that is well-known in generative architectural design, and that proceeds as: generate, evaluate, iterate. In place of the typical approaches to the evaluation step, we propose to employ a machine learning process: a neural net trained to perform image classification. This modified process is different enough from traditional methods as to warrant an adjustment of the terms of GAD. Through the development of this framework, we seek to demonstrate that generative evaluation may be seen as a new locus of subjectivity in design.

title	Contextual Capabilities Meet Human Behaviour - Round the peg and square the hole
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. 613-620

summary	To improve environmental wellbeing and productivity, design innovation focuses on human's use-process, evolving individual space to flexible and specialized ones, according to the users' tasks - activity-based. BIM models supports sophisticated behaviours' simulation such as energy, acoustics, although it is not able to manage space use-processes. The present paper rather than a report of a case study or the presentation of a new methodology wants to contribute, together with previous works, in sketching a theroretical framework within which it is possible to compute the interaction between users and spaces (and vice versa). The quest is to reflect on possible paths for engineering knowledge and understanding, providing a BIM system the semantic information required to operate adaptively and achieve robust and innovative goal-directed behavior. Compared to current research on simulation systems, this research approach links Context, intended as spaces capabilities to Actor's Behavioural Knowledge including formalization of personality typologies and profiled behavioural patterns. By means of a classical problem solving metaphor, the "squared peg in a round hole" one, multiple categories for goal achievement are sketched, based on reciprocal Actors and Context behaviour adaptation.

title	A Research Framework of Digital Leadership

summary	In leading architectural offices where digital technologies have become de facto part and parcel of the architectural design process, it has become pointless to talk about "architectural design" and "digital technology" as separate phenomena. In fact, those offices showcase advances in their designs through combined developments in process, tools, teams, materials, and research. Far from being a passive addition to conventional processes, digital technologies transform the whole spectrum of architectural endeavour. Architects and offices in the front of these development showcase a particular competence set that is distinct from others, which we propose to call "digital leadership." We define "digital leadership" as the "integration of distributed knowledge from social sciences/humanities and digital technologies through the integrative artistic power of Architectural Design applied to the built environment as a real-world research and design laboratory." Although there have been many digital pioneers since the early 1960'ies, we can now see digital leadership as a more mainstream movement. However, there is no unified framework or theoretical understanding of digital leadership. In this paper we report on work carried out on four universities which has the aim to build such a framework.
