title	Bring in the Noise - A robotic-aided framework for the indirect shape translation and molding of inexact geometries.

summary	This paper examines how mediated translations that embrace indeterminacy - from design to fabrication - can enhance material and tactile explorations. It investigates a dialogue between a digital environment that supports the design process, and fabrication processes that combine tools that are both precise (the robot) and indeterminate (casting/forming devices) in their essential functions. We present a research inquiry into this issue by providing a reflective account of a robotics-aided framework for the fabrication of inexact geometries using reconfigurable pin tools (RPT). These tools, with their inherent indeterminacy and variability, were used as a base mold for casting blocks in concrete and plaster. The central thesis of this paper is that a non-linear fabrication process - one imbued with variability rather than deterministically controlled for formulaic production/outcome - becomes a potent generator of novel forms. By focusing on process, rather than on the product of design, designers can subvert the geometrical control inherent in a digital-material output, thus favoring discovery over order and material sensitivity over determinacy - essential qualities in progressive architecture practice.

title	Fabrication-Aware Design of Concrete Façade Panels. A Computational Method For Evaluating the Fabrication of Large- Scale Molds in Complex Geometries
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2018.136
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. 136-145
summary	This paper presents a design methodology for concrete façade panels that takes into consideration constraints related to digital fabrication machinery. A computational method for the real-time evaluation of industrial mold-making techniques, such as milling and hot wire cutting, was developed. The method rapidly evaluates the feasibility, material use, and machining time of complex geometry molds for architectural façade elements. Calculation speed is achieved by mathematically approximating CAM-machining operations. As results are obtained in nearly real time, the method can be easily incorporated into the architectural design process during its initial stages, when changes to the design are more effective. In the paper, we describe the algorithms of the computational evaluation method. We also show how it can be used to introduce fabrication considerations into the design process by using it to rationalize several types of panels. Additionally, we demonstrate how the method can be used in complex, large-scale architectural projects to save machining time and materials by evaluating and altering the paneling subdivision.

title	Cyclopean Cannibalism. A method for recycling rubble
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2018.404
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. 404-413
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.

title	Sentient Concrete - Developing Embedded Thermal and Thermochromic Interactions for Architecture and Built Environment
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.

title	{In}Formed Panels - Towards Rethinking the Precast Concrete Industry in the UAE
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2018.1.287

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.

summary	The article underlines the problem of introducing computer techniques into the education process in master degree studies in architecture. Following the consumer society, developing technologies, changing social values architecture education changed its continuous principle into two-level system. The system well known from other fields of education results in diversified level of knowledge between admitted students on master studies. This fact in together with large exercise groups and a relatively short time allocated with the project requires methodical approach in relationship between a student and a teacher. The article focuses on complexity of a design process within different stages. Special attention is placed to an early design phase of shaping an architecture form because it demands different ways of presentation including freehand sketching, physical modelling and digital modelling. These tools correspond to the subsequent three phases of the design process, starting with exploration of the idea and context, functional decisions and determining the aesthetics. In authors opinion, the first phase of teaching process held without the use of computer techniques led to a higher originality of the architecture concept and increased efficiency in design process.

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.

title	We Have Never Been Digital
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2018.020
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. 20-29
summary	The recent debate about the nature of the “postdigital” prompts the question as to whether we have ever been digital. This article looks at Bruno Latour’s book We Have Never Been Modern (1993) and questions whether its logic could not also be transferred to the realm of the digital. The issue is not so much that much of what is called “digital” in fact refers to analog processes that are simply controlled by the digital. Nor is it simply that we are often not aware of what has been “digitally” produced. Rather, the issue is that many of our operations within the digital realm are still controlled by the designer and do not operate within an autonomous realm. The notion of a purely objective digital operation without any subjective intervention on the part of the designer is something of a myth. The paper concludes that we have never been digital, just as we have never been modern. As such, we might argue that the term “postdigital” makes little sense, in that we have never been digital in the first place.

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	Smart Slab. Computational design and digital fabrication of a lightweight concrete slab
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2018.434
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. 434-443
summary	This paper presents a computational design approach and novel digital fabrication method for an optimized lightweight concrete slab using a 3D-printed formwork. Smart Slab is the first concrete slab fabricated with a 3D-printed formwork. It is a lightweight concrete slab, displaying three-dimensional geometric differentiation on multiple scales. The optimization of slab systems can have a large impact on buildings: more compact slabs allow for more usable space within the same building volume, refined structural concepts allow for material reduction, and integrated prefabrication can reduce complexity on the construction site. Among the main challenges is that optimized slab geometries are difficult to fabricate in a conventional way because non-standard formworks are very costly. Novel digital fabrication methods such as additive manufacturing of concrete can provide a solution, but until now the material properties and the surface quality only allow for limited applications. The fabrication approach presented here therefore combines the geometric freedom of 3D binderjet printing of formworks with the structural performance of fiber reinforced concrete. Using 3D printing to fabricate sand formwork for concrete, enables the prefabrication of custom concrete slab elements with complex geometric features with great precision. In addition, space for building systems such as sprinklers and Lighting could be integrated in a compact way. The design of the slab is based on a holistic computational model which allows fast design optimization and adaptation, the integration of the planning of the building systems, and the coordination of the multiple fabrication processes involved with an export of all fabrication data. This paper describes the context, design drivers, and digital design process behind the Smart Slab, and then discusses the digital fabrication system used to produce it, focusing on the 3D-printed formwork. It shows that 3D printing is already an attractive alternative for custom formwork solutions, especially when strategically combined with other CNC fabrication methods. Note that smart slab is under construction and images of finished elements can be integrated within couple of weeks.

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	New Concepts for Application of Topological Interlocking In Architecture
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.467
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. 467-476
summary	The paper concerns the issue of constructing flat vaults from elements topologically interlocking inspired by the Abeille blocks. One of the new ideas that are presented is constructing the vaults in an order opposite to the one considered untill now. The problem of static response on the thrust force, significant for flat vaults, is usually solved by the use of the perimeter frame, added only after arranging all the elements of the vault. The paper presents how to arrange the vault inside a previously made frame thanks to application of special components divided into parts, which are inserted at the end and play the same role as a keystone in a stone arch. The other new concept is shaping vaults based on equilateral triangles and regular hexagons, from hexagonal, romboidal and triangular elements shaped and arranged in a manner similar to the one used for shaping square vaults. The last innovative concept presented in a paper concerns shaping the perimeter frame from the components providing stiffness of the frame only due to topological interlocking. All presented ideas have been analised purely at a geometric level.

summary	With fast growing population rates and the further desertification of the global climate, desert regions, covering one fifth of the world's surface, provide an opportunity for future habitats. However, their extreme climatic conditions and remoteness pose a planning challenge, currently addressed with prefabrication and layered design; wasteful and costly solutions. This article proposes a bespoke design, fabrication and assembly process: performed in-situ with using local resources and novel automation. The research addresses challenges in on-site robotic forming and assembly of mono-material discrete elements, made in waterless concrete of sand-Sulphur composite. The formed components are examined in formwork-free assembly of wall and arch, with Pick & Place tool-path. The component's design incorporates topological and osteomorphic interlocking, facilitating structural integrity, as well as self-shading and passive cooling, to fit with local climate. This work culminates in a design proposal for constructing desert habitats, climatically adapted for Zagora oasis in the Moroccan Sahara: a remote site of hyper-arid climate.

title	Rough Pass Extrusion Tooling. CNC post-processing of 3D-printed sub-additive concrete lattice structures
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2018.302
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. 302-311
summary	Rough Pass Extrusion Tooling advances the manufacturing precision of full-scale Sub-Additive 3D printed concrete lattices in a three-step process that involves spatial 3D printing, high precision 3D scanning, and CNC post-processing. Utilizing robotics and computation, Sub-Additive Manufacturing (Battaglia et al. 2018) leverages digital workflows to produce structurally, materially, and spatially optimized lightweight concrete building components. Instead of further refining the 3D printing practice towards accuracy, and unlike other research projects that investigate 3D printing and subsequent post-processing, the method proposes to deliberately print a “rough pass”, accommodating any fabrication inaccuracy inevitably resulting from the concrete material and nozzle extrusion process. In a second step, supported by the advancement of 3D scanning, accuracy and geometric intricacy are achieved through locally post-processing components along edges, in pockets, on surfaces, and in areas of joinery. Rough Pass Extrusion Tooling enables the incorporation of higher fabrication tolerances as well as the integration of building systems, hardware, and complex connections. The method takes full advantage of the 3D printing process while introducing means to dramatically increase fabrication precision. Procedural infidelity – not aiming to solve accuracy through 3D printing alone – enables the development of a technically, methodologically, aesthetically, and performatively progressive multi-process fabrication method which opens a new realm for concrete printing accuracy. This paper closely examines CNC post-processing for Sub-Additive concrete print assemblies, addressing methodologies, opportunities, and shortcomings of such an approach.

title	Digital and physical models in graphic representation teaching: a didactic experience

summary	Drawing is a language that involves processes of coding and decoding images and must be dominated by professionals who act on the space. In order to contribute to the discussions about graphic representation teaching, this study aims to analyze students' perceptions about two didactic experiences of orthographic views representation: through interaction with physical model and digital model. It seeks to understand which experience is evaluated by the students as the most significant. Another issue of interest to the authors is to understand how much their interaction with the digital object can be considered 'concrete', since they are digital natives.

title	Creating Non-standard Spaces via 3D Modeling and Simulation: A Case Study
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. 1051-1058
summary	Especially in the film industry, architectural spaces away from Euclidean geometry are brought to foreground. The best environment in which such spaces can be designed, is undoubtedly the 3D modeling environment. In this study, an experimental study was carried out on the creation of alternative spaces with undergraduate architectural students. Via using 3D modeling and various simulation techniques in the Maya software, students created spaces, which were away from the traditional architectural spaces. Thus, in addition to learning the 3D modeling software, architectural students learned to use animation and simulation as a part of design, not just as a presentation tool, and opening up new horizons for non-standard spaces was provided.

summary	In the architectural design process, instead of using the computer programs effectively, the ability of choosing the most suitable program for the purpose takes place. However, different programs used in the design process serve different purposes. Therefore, the use of more than one program throughout the project design process arises. Every day the number of programs used increases rapidly. Hence, the designers find difficult to adapt this speed. The same applies to the students of architectural design studio course. Therefore, in this study with undergraduate architecture students, a pilot study focusing on the use of multi-software was conducted within the scope of architectural design studio. The process and outputs were evaluated.

summary	The increased interactivity of digital simulation tools has offered a wide range of opportunities that may provoke a paradigmatic shift in urban design practice. Yet, research results did not provide any clear evidence that such shift seems to exist. Further studies are required to examine the methods and impact of their usage on decision-making and design outcome. To that goal, this research uses the single-case study design that has been pursued in three phases: literature review, online survey, and semi-structured interviews. The results have shown inadequacies, inconsistency, and ineffectiveness of usage of the tools that are most appropriate to the design activities of each phase and thus a limited impact on critical areas of the decision-making. The impact of the tools' usage is found to be correlated with not only the extent of their usage, but also with a variety of procedural and substantive factors such as the plan methodology, extent of tool's usage, choice of the appropriate tool, and planners' skills and capabilities in using those tools.
