title IndAtlas - Technopolitic platform for urban investigation
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. 1305-1312
summary This article presents the project of the urban research platform IndAtlas, currently in early development stage by UFMG’s Research Group Indisciplinar. Through the association of crowdsourcing tools, a spatial database and the production of visualizations of different types, it is intended to create a Web platform for collecting, analyzing and depicting information about processes of production and transformation of urban space. It is proposed that the phenomena (themes) investigated in the platform are approached mainly from four axes: 1) spatial / territorial; 2) temporal; 3) social; 4) communicational. To do this, we try to combine online collaborative maps with the production of dynamic timelines and visualizations of networks of social actors (graphs), connected with social networks and Wiki pages. The article will address the development of Indisciplinar’s working method, which guided the proposal of the platform, as well as the functional and technical aspects to be observed for its implementation, the proposed architecture and the importance of interoperability for the project. Finally, the inquiries derived from the first test experiment of an IndAtlas test prototype will be presented. The experiment took place in a workshop belonging to the Cidade Eletrônika 2018 Festival – an arts and technology event. The workshop was offered in January of the same year, and it proposed a collaborative cartography of the Santa Tereza neighborhood, in Belo Horizonte / MG – a traditional neighborhood of great importance for historical heritage, currently subject to great real estate pressure and the focus of a series of territorial disputes.

summary The Contextualized Digital Heritage Workshop - Lodz continues the path started by two successful workshops held during the eCAADe (Oulu, Finland) and CAADRIA (Suzhou, China) conferences. This workshop aims at creating a space to allow scholars to discuss, share and apply their skills and knowledge in a digital heritage experiment contextualized in Lodz, Poland. The city has a rich industrial heritage. Hence, this event will allow participants to explore an architectural heritage that was not investigated during the previous two workshops which were focused on different kind of heritage. Digital technologies together with multidisciplinary approaches allow to study and analyse tangible and intangible features of architectural heritage in alternative and innovative ways. The workshop will build upon the experiences and reflections elaborated during and after the previous two events.

title Machine Learning Approach versus Prediction Formulas to Design Healthy Dwellings in a Cold Climate
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.359

summary This paper presents a study about the prediction accuracy of daylight provision and overheating levels in dwellings when considering different methods (machine learning vs prediction formulas), training, and validation data sets. An existing high-rise building located in Tallinn, Estonia was considered to compare the best ML predictive method with novel prediction formulas. The quantification of daylight provision was conducted according to the European daylight standard EN 17037:2018 (based on minimum Daylight Factor (minDF)) and overheating level in terms of the degree-hour (DH) metric included in local regulations. The features included in the dataset are the minDF and DH values related to different combinations of design parameters: window-to-floor ratio, level of obstruction, g-value, and visible transmittance of the glazing system. Different training and validation data sets were obtained from a main data set of 5120 minDF values and 40960 DH values obtained through simulation with Radiance and EnergyPlus, respectively. For each combination of training and validation dataset, the accuracy of the ML model was quantified and compared with the accuracy of the prediction formulas. According to our results, the ML model could provide more accurate minDF/DH predictions than by using the prediction formulas for the same design parameters. However, the amount of room combinations needed to train the machine-learning model is larger than for the calibration of the prediction formulas. The paper discuss in detail the method to use in practice, depending on time and accuracy concerns.

title The Game of Urban Attractiveness - Shape Grammars and Cellular Automata Based Tool for Prediction of Human's Behaviour in Cities
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.629
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
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 Redback BIM - Developing 'De-Localised' Open-Source Architecture-Centric Tools

summary Emerging technologies that use data have contributed to the success of communication all over the world. Social media and gaming industries have already taken advantage of the web to provide synchronous communication and updated information. Conversely, existing methods of communication within the AEC industry require multiple platforms, such as emails and file sharing services in conjunction with 3D Modelling software, to inform changes made by stakeholders, resulting in file duplication and limited accessibility to the latest version, while augmenting existing practice's inefficiency. As communication is critical to the success of a project and should be enhanced, Redback BIM promises to establish a workflow for a dynamic platform, while achieving similar results to that of a 3D modelling program hosted on the web. Using existing open-source web development software, multiple users will be able to collaboratively organise and synchronise changes made to the design scheme in real-time. Features such as this would enable more fluid communication between multiple stakeholders within the life of a project.

title Adaptive THERM-SKIN - Tunable Cellular Materials for Adaptive Thermal Control
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2018.2.309
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. 309-318
summary This research investigates a tunable cellular material system that can alternate between a thermal insulator and a heat exchanger. The capability to morph between these two distinctive thermal functions provide opportunities to create novel material systems that can dynamically adapt to its environment. The operating principle is to strategically deform the cellular material so that the shape and size of the cavities are optimized for the intended thermal function. In the compressed state, the cavity spaces are narrow enough to suppress convection heat transfer and utilize the low thermal conductivity property of still air. The expanded state has the optimum cavity dimensions for air to move through the system and exchange heat with the material system. The first stage of the research utilizes the existing thermal optimization studies for establishing the analytical model for predicting the performance of each state as a function of the geometric features. The second stage constructs a parametric model using the predictions, and two separate material architectures were designed and fabricated based on it. The calibrated analytical model can be utilized in designing various dynamic thermal interaction systems at a wide range of conditions and parameters (e.g., climate, temperature, scale, and material).

title Aplicability of 2D and 3D isovists and visibility graph analysis for evaluating urban vulnerability to crime: the case of Boa Viagem, in Recife
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. 308-315
summary This work aims to investigate the applicability of 2D and 3D isovists, as well as Visibility Graph Analysis (VGA), for evaluating urban vulnerability to crime. The methodology is based on correlations between number of crime occurrences and measurements of 2D and 3D isovists, and mean values of visual integration (VGA). The 2D isovists were produced through DeCoding Spaces Toolbox for Grasshopper and the 3D isovists were generated by using algorithms within Rhinoceros and Grasshopper. VGA maps were elaborated within DepthmapX. For this study, were selected nine street segments of Boa Viagem, located in Recife-PE, a neighbourhood which is known for high rates of robberies. Although the number of samples is reduced, the results suggest that criminals prefer much more visually integrated spaces with low occlusivity and fewer spatial cavities.

summary This research aims at investigating BCI technologies in the broad scope of CAAD applications exploiting early visual cognition in computational design. More precisely, this paper will describe the investigation of key BCI and ML components for the implementation and development of a software supporting this research : Uchron. It will be organised as follows. Firstly, it will introduce the pursued interest and contribution that visual-ERP EEG based BCI application for Generative Design may provide through a synthetic review of precedents and BCI technology. Secondly, selected BCI components will be described and a methodology will be presented to provide an appropriate framework for a CAAD software approach. This section main focus is on the processing component of the BCI. It distinguishes two key aspects of discrimination and generation in its design and proposes a new model based on GAN for modulated adversarial design. Emphasis will be made on the explicit use of inference loops integrating fast human cognitive responses and its individual capitalisation through time in order to reflect towards the generation of design and architectural features.

summary In the following paper, a description, a comparison, a series of reflections, and future directions of two successful Contextualized Digital Heritage Workshops (CDHW) will be presented. The workshops have been organized during the eCAADe and CAADRIA conferences. The importance of architectural heritage as an expression of a local history and identity in a world that is more and more globalised is evident. Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, together with the use of digital technologies open new opportunities in the comprehension, documentation, analysis, reuse and dissemination of architectural heritage. The main concept behind a CDHW is to connect the event (and its wide variety of participants) to a specific local context in a multidisciplinary way. The paper defines and proposes a methodology to critically evaluate the two workshops and their individual aspects in order to identify and investigate ideas that can be explored during future CDHWs.

summary According to eCAADe's mission, the exchange and collaboration within the area of computer aided architectural design education and research, while respecting the pedagogical approaches in the different schools and countries, can be regarded as a core activity. The current session follows up on the first Contextualised Digital Heritage Workshop (CDHW) held on the occasion of eCAADe 2016 in Oulu (D. di Mascio et.al.) This event was thought to represent the first of a series of future contextualized digital heritage workshops and hence, the name Oulu interchangeable with the name of any other city or place. The second CDHW took place in the framework of CAADRIA 2017 in Suzhou (D. di Mascio & M.A. Schnabel) and focussed on sharing and dissemination of heritage information and personal experiences, such as narratives.The primary objective for the 2018 digital heritage session is to engage participants in an active discussion, not the longer format presentation of prepared positions. The round table itself is limited to short opening statements so as to ensure time is allowed for viewpoints to be exchanged and for the conference attendees to join in on the issues discussed. The panel will review past practices with the potential for guiding future direction.

summary This research in progress investigates a design and fabrication method of an adaptable and programmable composite material in an embodied computation system. It develops a workflow for a behavior-based model, the exploration of the morpho-space associated with the combinatorial assembly and the actuation of soft elements. The aggregation of individually actuatable and soft units in a system creates a large potential regarding adaptability, flexibility and reconfigurability, through a non-rigid and non-mechanical system. The cells are developed through a process of prototyping on origami and auxetic pattern inspired soft robotic elements. Every soft cell is pneumatically actuated through a negative pressure environment. The computational simulation is informed by the prototyping process and its findings. The simulation-based design of such an assembled system allows prediction of the aggregated shape and outputs a sequencing table, describing the actuation status of every cell and can create a tool to communicate between material and computational system

title Machine Learning-based Optimization Design Workflow based on Obstruction Angles for Building Facades
source De Luca, F, Lykouras, I and Wurzer, G (eds.), Proceedings of the 9th eCAADe Regional International Symposium, TalTech, 15 - 16 June 2023, pp. 15–24
summary This paper proposes a ML-based optimization design workflow based on obstruction angles for the optimization of building facades (i.e. g-value and window width). The optimization output consists of the optimal clustering of windows in order to ensure a desired level of daylight provision according to method 2 defined in the EN17307:2018 (i.e. based on Spatial Daylight Autonomy: sDA) and to not exceed a maximum level of specific cooling capacity (SCC). The independent variables or design parameters of the parametric model are: room orientation/dimensions, window dimensions, and obstruction angle (??). The ML prediction models were trained and tested with reliable simulation results using validate softwares. The total number of room combinations is 61440 for sDA and SCC simulations. The development of reliable (90% of right predictions) ML predictive models based on decision tree technique were calibrated. The optimal clustering of windows was done first by floors and secondly by the designer’s need to homogenize the external facade with similar glazing properties and window sizes, having impact on the annual heating consumption. The proposed method help designers to make accurate and faster design decisions during early design stages and renovation plans.

summary The main pedestrian entrance of the building site has a direct influence on the use of the buildings, so the selection of the main pedestrian entrance is very important in the process of architectural design. The correct selection of the main pedestrian entrance of building site depends on the experience of designers and environment data collected by designers, the process is time consuming and inefficient, especially when the building site located in complex urban environment. In order to improve the efficiency of design process, we used online map to collect museums information in China as training samples, and constructing artificial neural networks to predict the direction of the main pedestrian entrance. After the training, we get the prediction model with 79% prediction accuracy. Although the accuracy still need to be improved, it creates a new approach to analysis the main pedestrian entrance of the site and worth further researching.

title Machine Learning for Real-time Urban Metrics and Design Recommendations
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2018.196
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. 196-205
summary Cities are growing, becoming more complex, and changing rapidly. Currently, community engagement for urban decision-making is often ineffective, uninformed, and only occurs in projects’ later stages. To facilitate a more collaborative and evidence-based urban decision- making process for both experts and non-experts, real-time feedback and optimized suggestions are essential. However, most of the current tools for urban planning are neither capable of performing complex simulations in real time nor of providing guidance for better urban performance.

CityMatrix was introduced to address these challenges. Machine learning techniques were applied to achieve real-time prediction of multiple urban simulations, and thousands of city configurations were simulated. The simulation results were used to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict the traffic and solar performance of unseen city configurations. The prediction with the CNN is thousands of times faster than the original simulations and maintains a high-quality representation of the results. This machine learning approach was applied as a versatile, quick, accurate, and computationally efficient method not only for real-time feedback, but also for optimized design recommendations. Users involved in the evaluation of this project had a better understanding of the embodied trade-offs of the city and achieved their goals in an efficient manner.

summary The paper is divided into two main parts. The first part refers to the history of attempts to use VR technology in the process of architectural space creation in a dynamic way. The second part presents the experiment carried out at our Faculty, in which we implemented VR in the Digital Architectural Composition course. This experiment was divided into two parts. In the both parts Google Blocks software was used. In the first part we have used the first exercises which was completed by students during the first semester in a traditional way (a cardboard mock-up) and then in the third semester as a digital model in Cinema 4D. It was a Solid form with. In the second part of this experiment we asked students to create a sketch of walk through space and they can created their own shapes in their design. The analysis of the results allows to formulate the thesis that there is a qualitative revolution in the area of human-computer interface. The main conclusion is that Virtual Reality eliminates the boundaries between the spectator and the space and that the idea - Designing Become a Place" is still actual.

summary This research explores utilizing Cellular Automata patterns as climate-adaptive dynamic shading systems to mitigate the undesirable impacts by excessive solar penetration in cooling-dominant climates. The methodological procedure is realized through two main phases. The first evaluates all 256 Elementary Cellular Automata possible rules to elect the ones with good visual and random patterns, to ensure an equitable distribution of the natural daylight in internal spaces. Based on the newly developed hourly-based metrics, simulations are conducted in the second phase to evaluate the Cellular Automata controlled dynamic shadings performance, and formalize the adaptive façade variation logic that maximizes daylighting and minimizes energy demand.

summary The identity of an urban environment is important because it contributes to self-identity, a sense of community, and a sense of place. However, under present-day conditions, the identities of expanding cities are rapidly deteriorating and vanishing, especially in the case of Asian cities. Therefore, cities need to build their urban identity, which includes the past and points to the future. At the same time, cities need to add new features to improve their livability, sustainability, and resilience. In this paper, using data mining technologies for various types of geo-referenced big data and combine them with the space syntax analysis for observing and learning about the socioeconomic behavior and the quality of space. The observed and learned features are identified as the urban identity. The numeric features obtained from data mining are transformed into catalogued levels for designers to understand, which will allow them to propose proper designs that will complement or improve the local traditional features. A workshop in Taiwan, which focuses on a traditional area, demonstrates the result of the proposed methodology and how to transform a traditional area into a livable area. At the same time, we introduce a website platform, Quick Urban Analysis Kit (qua-kit), as a tool for citizens to participate in designs. After the workshop, citizens can view, comment, and vote on different design proposals to provide city authorities and stakeholders with their ideas in a more convenient and responsive way. Therefore, the citizens may deliver their opinions, knowledge, and suggestions for improvements to the investigated neighborhood from their own design perspective.

summary "Smart City" business model is guiding the development of future metropolises. Software industry sales to town halls for city management services efficiency improvement are, these days, a very pro?table business. Being the model decided by the industry, it can develop into a dangerous situation in which the basis of the new city design methodologies is decided by agents outside academia expertise. Drawing on complex science, social physics, urban economics, transportation theory, regional science and urban geography, the Lab is dedicated to the systematic analysis of, and theoretical speculation on, the recently coined "Science of Cities" discipline. On the research agenda there are questions arising from the synthesis of architecture, urban design, computer science and sociology. Collaboration with citizens through inclusion and empowerment, and, relationships "City-Data-Planner-Citizen" and "Citizen-Design-Science", configure Lab's methodology provoking a dynamic responsive process of design that is yet missing on the path towards the real responsive city.
