summary	Geometric differentiation is no longer a production setback for industrial grade architectural components. This paper introduces a design and fabrication workflow for non-repetitive large-scale space frame structures composed of custom-manufactured nodes, which exploits the advantages of latest advancements in 3D-printing technology. By integrating design, fabrication and material constraints into a computational methodology, the presented approach addresses additive manufacturing of functional industry-grade parts in short time, high speed and low cost. The resulting case study of a 4.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 m lightweight kite structure comprises 1380 versatile fully-customised connectors and outlines the manifold potential of additive manufacturing for architecture much bigger than the machine built space. First, after briefly introducing space frames in architecture, this paper discusses the computational framework of generating irregular space frames and parametric joint design. Second, it examines the advantages of MJF printing in conjunction with integrating smart sequencing details for the following assembly process. Finally, a conclusive outlook is given on improvements and further developments for bespoke 3D-printed space frame structures.

title	3D Printing Architecture: Towards Functional Space Frames

summary	In architecture, the use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies has been primarily limited to the production of scale models. Its application for functional buildings components has been typically undermined by the long production time, elevated cost to manufacture parts and the low mechanical properties of 3D printed components. As AM becomes faster, cheaper and stronger, opportunities for architectures that make creative use of AM to produce functional architectural pieces are emerging. In this paper, we propose and discuss the application of AM in complex space frames and the theoretical and practical implications. Three built projects by the authors support our hypothesis that AM has a clear application in architecture and that space frames constitutes a promising structural typology. In addition, we investigate how AM can be used to resolve architectural systems beyond structure and enclosure, such as data and power transmission. The paper presents background research and our contribution to the digital design tools, the manufacturing and assembly processes, and the analysis of the performances of the building components and the final built pieces.

title	High-performance Spatial Composite 3D Printing

summary	This project explores the advantages of employing continuum material topology optimization in a 3D non-standard lattice structure through fiber additive manufacturing processes (Figure 1). Additive manufacturing (AM) has gained rapid adoption in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). However, existing optimization techniques often overlook the mechanical anisotropy of AM processes, resulting in suboptimal structural properties, with a focus on layer-by-layer or planar processes. Materials, processes, and techniques considering anisotropy behavior (Kwon et al. 2018) could enhance structural performance (Xie 2022). Research on 3D printing materials with high anisotropy is limited (Eichenhofer et al. 2017), but it holds potential benefits (Liu et al. 2018). Spatial lattices, such as space frames, maximize structural efficiency by enhancing flexural rigidity and load-bearing capacity using minimal material (Woods et al. 2016). From a structural design perspective, specific non-standard lattice geometries offer great potential for reducing material usage, leading to lightweight load-bearing structures (Shelton 2017). The flexibility and freedom of shape inherent to AM offers the possibility to create aggregated continuous truss-like elements with custom topologies.

summary	From the invention of projection to the emergence of digital technology, there's a clear correspondences among the transformations of visual representation paradigm in art, the developments of design instrument in architecture, and the human perception of time/space. Base on the examination of this particular historical trajectory, this paper focuses the working mechanism of shifting perspective as an alternative design instrument to explore the possibility of embedding time and motion into static form in digital age. Firstly, the paper reviews how the shifting perspective was introduced to represent space in modern western painting and photography. Then based on the research on shifting perspective, the paper develops a design tool, which would be able to translate motion into the particular geometrical feature of a generated 3D object. In the end, the paper brings further discussions about the formal and spatial effects brought by this new tool, and its potential to incorporate the perceptive image of human being into design process.

summary	This study constitutes the first step of a broader PhD project, which aims to build a bridge between the architectural and the juridical examination of the typicality of low-income settlements within the city of Rio de Janeiro, the favelas. The purpose is to define a rule-based typological analysis to ease the process of evaluating the typicality of favelas and the possible, desirable form of its regularisation. This objective strives to equip all the actors involved in the debate with an analytical device able to represent the socially acknowledged, yet unofficial, rules that have been moulding favelas so far. By this means, this study tests shape grammar as a methodology for approaching this interdisciplinary issue. A shape grammar for a first case study, Parque Royal favela, located in the Governor Island, is presented. As preliminary results of the research, the paper encompasses the three early stages of construction of the case study: invasion, expansion and consolidation.

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	Visualising Architectural Lighting Concept with 360° Panoramas
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.745
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. 745-752
summary	This paper presents the establishment and refinement of a visualisation workflow based on initial learnings from introducing mobile Virtual Reality (VR) as representational medium for visualising and visually evaluating architectural lighting concepts using rendered 360° panoramas. Four student projects are described, each with a different aim and approach towards visualising architectural light in space: Two projects aiming at conveying reality with physically based lighting simulations and two projects with an artistic approach to conveying light impressions. The 360° panoramas were used at low resolution during the design process to qualify the projects, and the final panoramas were presented with great success as a supplement to visualisations, diagrams, technical drawings and physical models at Bachelor and Master exams. The benefits of using familiar simulation and render software together with low cost, accessible and portable VR HMD's in the authors opinion far outweighs the reduced Field of View, lower frame-rate, lack of parallax and dynamic Point of View compared to realtime rendered high end VR.

title	PanoFrame: A Lightweight Panoramic Video Editing Tool for Storytelling with Spatial Content

summary	As low-cost panoramic cameras become prevalent among non-professional consumers, an easy-to-use panoramic video editing tool is required for emerging storytellers. This paper proposes a lightweight online panoramic video editing tool for storytelling and explores a method of interpreting the same spatial content from different perspectives with panoramic videos. We conducted three experiments using different groups of participants to test how people create, understand, and interact with a panoramic video story in the proposed tool. The results reveal that this tool enables storytellers to work collaboratively and create multiple narratives from a panoramic video, and the generated panoramic video narratives are also more attractive to audiences than the raw video. This tool has the potential to be an ever-growing crowdsourcing community with a database of multiple narratives and creates opportunities for designers to record, learn about and present architectural and urban space from multiple perspectives.

title	Perceive to learn to perceive: an experience with virtual reality devices for architecture design learning
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. 985-990
summary	This work investigates the potential use of low-cost virtual reality (VR) devices in architectural education to improve spatial perception of undergraduate architecture students. The experiment involved a gradual approach into the design process, starting with an intervention on a physical space, its bidimensional representation, 3d modelling and immersion in VR. After the immersion, students answered a questionnaire with open and closed-questions about their experience, and their evaluation of the use of VR in the designing. The findings point to the use of VR as a means to explore, perceive and reflect on decisions, allowing students a better understanding of designing.

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 paper presents research work on digital fabrication and architectural robotics with the intent of creating lightweight composite material spatial assemblies comprised of parametrically differentiated components. Our process deploys one-part polyurethane (PU) foam to form units which after force-induced delamination can be stretched to span space and aggregated into surface assemblies at extremely low densities. The process developed and design artefacts produced, investigate creative opportunities in common construction material and robotic digital fabrication methods beyond conventional additive and subtractive manufacturing.

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	This paper questions the ideal digital paradigm of its applicability for non-standard architectural practice in China. Streamlined multi-disciplinary cooperation may constrain when facing a challenging construction context which notorious for its high speed, lack of craftsmanship, low budgets, and poor detailing. Living with this, however, a group of digital practitioners has successfully been able to complete several non-standard architectural projects with a complex form. An argument raises suggesting an essential part of their success lies in their alternative use of typical parametric models, which are adapted to create tolerance space between design, development, and implementation process in response to local challenges. Here, we study two non-standard cases from Chinese architectural practice HHDFUN. By analysing the project delivery processes, this paper ambitious to extract higher-level knowledge that will contribute to the professional practice and facilitate the extension of an expanded, yet purely digital design solution space into the challenging material world of local construction.

summary	The behavioral patterns of human in buildings influence the rational setting of space and function dramatically. However, due to the lack of data acquisition methods and data accuracy, big data analysis and visualization research in the microscopic aspects of indoor space is hampered. With the maturity of indoor positioning technology, UWB (Ultra Wideband) positioning technology based on narrow pulse has the characteristics of high transmission rate, low transmit power and strong penetrating ability, which provides more accurate results for the behavior data acquisition in indoor space. In this research, the big data thinking has been introduced into the behavioral performance analysis process. Therefore, data acquisition, data storage and management, behavioral data visualization and machine learning algorithms are integrated into a set of behavioral data analysis and visualization system, to quantitative research the behavioral characteristics of visitors in the exhibition hall by the on-site experiment .

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	Creation of a geomerical illusion in a staircase will be discussed. This will be done by the classical approach to geometry, by selecting the "punto stabile" point and a 3D structure. This structure, consisting of simple elements, will be projected from observer's eye over punto stabile onto two vertical walls. As observer walks up the stairs, the percepted illusion will change its shape. The goal of this paper is to show how easy such illusions - once popular in the baroque period - can be created, and how creation of such illusions support further developement of spatial imagination. It is important to note, author of the illusion has full control over how such fictive architecture will be seen by an observer. That means, the author will determine all aspects of interior's perception - a point very important when it comes to the relationship between a person and space.

title	Design of a Post-Disaster Temporary Living Space Through the Use of Shape Evolution
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. 191-198
summary	As the increasing number of disasters taking place each year result in a larger number of people in need of urgent sheltering, temporary shelters become a more critical subject of architectural design. With this in mind, the aim of this study is to design a temporary post-disaster living space for the displaced people. Towards this aim, 2D layout possibilities are generated and evaluated with genetic algorithms. Different from the previous studies, the project focuses on the potential use of shape evolution and multi-objective genetic algorithms for the design of a disaster relief shelter.
