summary	The Catoptric Surface research project explores methods of reflecting daylight through a building envelope to form an image-based pattern of light on the interior environment. This research investigates the generation of atmospheric effects from daylighting projected onto architectural surfaces within a built environment in an attempt to amplify or reduce spatial perception. The mapping of variable organizations of light onto existing or new surfaces creates a condition where the perception of space does not rely on form alone. This condition creates a visual effect of a formless atmosphere and affects the way people use the space. Often the desired quantity and quality of daylight varies due to factors such as physiological differences due to age or the types of tasks people perform (Lechner 2009). Yet the dominant mode of thought toward the use of daylighting tends to promote a homogeneous environment, in that the resulting lighting level is the same throughout a space. This research project questions the desire for uniform lighting levels in favor of variegated and heterogeneous conditions. The main objective of this research is the production of a unique facade system that is capable of dynamically redirecting daylight to key locations deep within a building. Mirrors in a vertical array are individually adjusted via stepper motors in order to reflect more or less intense daylight into the interior space according to sun position and an image-based map. The image-based approach provides a way to specifically target lighting conditions, atmospheric effects, and the perception of space.

title	A window to the autism: the political role of the difference of an objectile in the homogeneous school
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. 848-853
summary	This paper approaches the insertion of an objectile in the homogeneous space of a school, looking to bring flexibility and responsiveness to assist a user with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The research concerns with photosensitivity, a problem faced by almost 25% of the children with autism (Miller-Horn; Spence; Takeoka, 2011). The study is based on the theories for ASD environments that speak of ‘sensorial perception’ and ‘thinking with imagery’ (Mostafa, 2008), and the coexistence of Sensory Design Theory and Neuro-Typical Method (Pomana, 2015). The result consists of a gadget developed in MIT App Inventor tool and a curtain that interact responsively through an Arduino code, for a new connection between the user and his surroundings.

summary	Visibility plays an important role in perception and use of an urban design, and thus often becomes a target of design analysis. This work presents a fast method of evaluating various visibility-based design characteristics, such as isovists or insolation exploiting the GPU rendering pipeline and compute shaders. The proposed method employs a two-stage algorithm on each point of interest. First, it projects the visible space around a vantage point onto an equirectangular map. Second, it folds the map using a flexibly defined function into a single value that is associated with the vantage point. Being executed on a grid of points in a 3D scene, it can be visualized as a heat map or utilized by another algorithm for further design analysis. The developed system provides nearly real-time analysis tools for an early-stage design process to a broad audience via web services.

summary	The objective of this research project is to simulate and evaluate the effect of movement velocity and cognitive abilities on the visual perception of three groups of urban users: pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers.The simulation and analysis is based on the 3D Dynamic Visual Analysis (DVA) (Fisher-Gewirtzman, 2017). This visibility analysis model was developed in the Rhinoceros and Grasshopper software environments and is based on the conceptual model presented in Fisher-Gewirtzman (2016): a 3D Line of Sight (LOS) visibility analysis, taking into account the integrated effect of the 3D geometry of the environment and the variant elements of the view (such as the sky, trees and vegetation, buildings and building types, roads, water etc.). In this paper, the current advancement of the existing model considers the visual perception of human users employing three types of movement in the urban environment--pedestrians, cyclists and drivers--is explored.We expect this research project to exemplify the contribution of such a quantification and evaluation model to evaluating existing urban structures, and for supporting future human perception-based urban design processes.

title	See the Non-existing but Still Visible - An "unplugged" way to deal with perspective illusions.
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.509
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. 509-514
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	The Perception of Architectural Space in Reality, in Virtual Reality, and through Plan and Section Drawings - A case study of the perception of architectural atmosphere
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.735
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. 735-744
summary	This paper presents the findings from a comparative study of an architectural space communicated as the space itself and its two different representations, i.e. a virtual reality model and traditional plan and section drawings. Using eye tracking technology in combination with qualitative questionnaires, a case study of an architectural space is investigated in physical reality, a virtual reality 3D BIM model, and finally through representation of the space in plan and section drawings. In this study, the virtual reality scenario seems closer to reality than the experience of the same space experienced through plan and section drawings. There is an overall higher correlation of both the conscious reflections and the less conscious behaviour between the real physical architectural space and the virtual reality space, than there is between the real space and the space communicated through plan and section drawings. We can conclude that the scenario with the best overall size estimations, compared to the actual measures, is the virtual reality scenario. The paper further discusses the future applications of virtual reality in architecture.

title	Ornament & Distortion - Superficial Techniques for Spatial Distortion by Means of CAD-CAM Technologies
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.459

summary	This research explores the use of graphic techniques to distort the perception of three-dimensional space, questioning the irrelevance of superficial ornamentation in the creation of space. The project starts with a historical and theoretical positioning of the use of superficial ornamentation and aims to bring to digital environments the design and production of such graphic techniques. In order to do so, a parametric tool embedding all the required information in order to facilitate the creation of vinyl decals was created and was finally tested by mostly-unskilled students in an international workshop. This paper describes the development of the parametric tool, its relation to the graphic techniques, and the results obtained during the international workshop.

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.

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.

title	"Real Virtuality" in the Process of Digitally Embedded Perception
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2018.1.091
source	T. Fukuda, W. Huang, P. Janssen, K. Crolla, S. Alhadidi (eds.), Learning, Adapting and Prototyping - Proceedings of the 23rd CAADRIA Conference - Volume 1, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, 17-19 May 2018, pp. 91-100
summary	The "digital turn" in architecture is ontologically drawn from Deleuzian philosophy, particularly the thinking defined by Manuel Delanda as real virtuality. This philosophical thinking reflects the essential paradigm of digital design-a generative process driven by intensive difference to approach the singularity of form in a space of possibilities. However, no matter how dynamic the design process is in digital software, the construction result of a building is unavoidably static and permanent. Thus, the essence of digital design will always be misaligned with the material reality of its production. Addressing on this confliction, the research is trying to rethink the philosophical term "real virtuality" in the process of human perception. By examining different theories about the anti-static condition of perception, it forms a novel perspective to address the dynamic relationship between building form, virtual "information" and human perception, and extends the productivity of "becoming" from digital design process to the process of building colonization.

summary	The objective of this paper is to develop an eye-tracking technology combined with a virtual reality system for an experimental study of an historical street design. Using protocol analysis, a set of design objects, parameters, and subjects are randomly selected for evaluation of the virtual street space of an ancient city. 3-D point-cloud data of spatial behaviors are tracked and analyzed. It is concluded that people with different cultural backgrounds each have a considerably different perception of the street space's characteristics. The methodology described in this paper can be used for spatial design of urban space in the future.

summary	This research project is based on the research results from the "Acoustic Visualization Group" of Digital FUTURES Summer Workshop in Shanghai, 2018. In this workshop, students use sound data acquisition sound collection equipment to collect sound information in the space and transform it into digital data. After analyzing the data, they present it as a visible form and design the sound interaction device based on the results. This study combines the media art and digital technology to transform the invisible acoustics digital information into a tangibly visible experiencing space and to mix the virtual acoustics space, realistic light- and- shadow space and the three-dimension material space in multi-dimensions through the digital programming and generative art design. Acoustic visualization interaction design is a comprehensive attempt which mixed with several research fields such as architecture device design, digital media technology, human-computer interaction and architecture environment science.

summary	The article, in the general extent, touches upon issue of the awareness of the cityscape in morphological terms. It concerns in particular the system of open spaces as an unique component of the urban structure of cities. The measurability of the phenomena still seems to be a challenge. The considerations presented in the article are embedded in the environment of virtual city models. The 3D-Negative (N3D) method developed by the author for generating and analyzing open space geometries in the virtual city model environment is used for example area and volume representation of urban structures in terms of space between buildings. The source analytic virtual city model data is generated on the basis of combination of DSM and DTM models. The cases discussed in the article prove the intuitive perception of open spaces in a quantifiable way. In the aspect of spatial data standardization, the presented analyses are embedded in the cityGML LOD1 standard.

title	Digital provenance and material metadata: Attribution and co-authorship in the age of artificial intelligence
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 16 - no. 4, 271-280
summary	This speculative essay examines a single drawing, produced in a collaboration between the authors and a Turtle robot, in a search for methods to evaluate and document provenance in artificial intelligence and robotic design. Reflecting upon the layers of authorship in our case study reveals the complex relationship that already exists between human and machine collaborators. In response to this unseen provenance, we propose new modes to document the full range of creative contribution to the design and production of artifacts from intellectual inputs to digital representations to physical labor. A more comprehensive system for artificial intelligence/robotic attribution could produce counter- narratives to technological development which more fully acknowledge the contributions of both humans and machines. As artificially intelligent design technologies distinguish themselves with distinct capabilities and eventual autonomy, a system of embedded attribution becomes the basis for human–machine collaboration, indeterminacy, and unexpected new applications for existing tools and methods.

summary	Advances in construction automation have primarily focused on creating heavy machines to accomplish repetitive tasks. While this approach is valuable in an assembly-line context, it does not always translate well for the diverse terrain and dynamic nature of construction sites. As a result, the use of automation in the architectural assembly has lagged far behind other industries. To address the challenges of construction-site assembly, this project suggests an alternative technique that uses a fl eet of smaller robots working in parallel. The proposed method, which is inspired by the construction techniques of insect colonies, has several advantages over the use of larger machines. It allows for much greater on-site fl exibility and portability. It is also easy to scale the operation, by adding or removing additional units as needed. The use of multiple small robots provides operational redundancy that can adapt to the loss of any particular machine. These advantages make the technology particularly suitable for construction in hazardous or inaccessible areas. The use of assembly robots also opens new horizons for design creativity, allowing architects to explore new ideas that would be unwieldy and expensive to construct using traditional techniques. In our tests, we used a team of small mobile robots to fold 2D laser-cut stock into 3D curved structures, and then assemble these units into larger interlocked forms.

summary	Software is shared through files and libraries, but workflows are not. To be able to share workflows for rapid automation, we developed an extensible environment for running CAD, CAM, and machine control. We present Mods, a browser-based environment for data handling, toolpath planning, and machine execution. Users compose modules (either existing modules or new modules they contribute) into workflows for machine automation sequences in a dataflow environment. The modules themselves run client side, implementing the functions used by the modules (such as toolpath planning algorithms or image analysis) in JavaScript, which runs in the browser. The physical machines are connected to a JavaScript server, which listens to commands from the client over a WebSocket connection. Together, these software modules make up an extensible and simple-to-use alternative to traditional CAD/CAM machine control environments.

summary	Digital Fabrication has been widely used for the production of standardized building components, but not so in the engineered-to-order fabrication strategy, a system in which the customer’s needs are fulfilled in the design stage. Mass Customization meets the demands of a customer at a cost near that of Mass Production. This study presents the current stage of an Action Research dealing with Mass Customization, design and BIM adoption challenges, proposing the adoption of BIM aiming Mass Customization at engineered-to-order systems for Small and Medium Enterprises. It uses Web-based User Interface and Revit and Dynamo models exported to Computer Numerical Control machines.

title	Subtractive digital fabrication with actual robot and virtual material using a MARI platform
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 16 - no. 4, 281-294
summary	This article presents a project-based research study using a new hybrid augmented reality platform called the Mixed Architectural Robotic Interface. Using the Mixed Architectural Robotic Interface as a mixture of different software and hardware platforms, ranging from design/modeling software, simulation engine, and an augmented reality application, the designer would be able to evaluate the possibilities/limitations of the fabrication, in real time and as part of the design. This method advances designer’s understanding of the fabrication equipment as an input for the design decision-making process. This article demonstrates the potential of a virtual/actual hybridized platform as a new medium to design, simulate, and evaluate, in order to enhance the digital design and fabrication. Introducing the possibility of real-time communication between the digital design software and the fabrication platforms as well as the augmented reality simulation of the fabrication process, the Mixed Architectural Robotic Interface enables designers to test the fabrication process with the fabrication equipment in the early stages of the design process. This method makes it possible to move beyond the traditional limitations of machines pursuing “un-expected creativity,” without any additional time or cost for the process. Using the virtual material for fabrication, the Mixed Architectural Robotic Interface reduces the time and cost of having multiple iterations and encourages the hands-on experimental use of the fabrication tool (in this article robotic/computer numeric control milling) not only as a production tool but also as a design study tool.
