summary The utilization of point cloud as a 3D laser scanning product has reached across multi-disciplines in terms of data processing, data visualization, and data analysis. This study particularly investigates further the use of typical attributes of raw point cloud data consisting of XYZ (position information), RGB (colour information) and I (intensity information). By exploring the optical and thermal properties of the given point cloud data, it aims at compensating the material and texture information that is usually remained behind by architects during the conceptual design stage. Calculation of the albedo, emissivity and the reflectance values from the existing context specifically direct the architects to predict the type of materials for the proposed design in order to keep the balance of the surrounding Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. Therefore, architects can have a comprehensive analysis of the existing context to deal with the microclimate condition before a design decision phase.

title Point Cloud Stream on Spatial Mixed Reality - Toward Telepresence in Architectural Field

summary In remote meetings that involve the study of buildings and cities, sharing three-dimensional (3D) virtual spatial of buildings and cities is just as necessary as sharing the appearances and voices of meeting participants. Because of this, system development and pilot projects have attempted to share 3D virtual models via the internet in real-time but is still insufficient compared with face-to-face meeting. Therefore, this research explores the applicability of a spatial mixed reality (MR) system that displays point cloud streams to realize 3D remote meeting in architecture and urban fields. MR is a new technology that enables 3D presentations of various information, combining the physical and virtual worlds. One MR method is telepresence, which is expected to give people a way to communicate remotely as if face to face in a realistic way. We first developed a MR system named PcsMR (Point cloud stream on mixed reality) to display point cloud streams. The PcsMR system's operation consists of generating and transferring a point cloud stream and then rendering a point cloud stream using MR. The PcsMR acquired the point cloud stream in real-time using Kinect for Windows v2 and transferred it to Microsoft HoloLens, which uses optical see-through MR. Then we constructed two prototypes based on PcsMR and carried out pilot projects. Through observing the experiments, application possibilities for architecture and urban fields are found in meetings and communications that share real-time 3D objects and include the movement of remote participants and objects. The proposed method was evaluated feasible and effective.

summary The Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology enabled improvement in the design, construction and maintenance stages highly. In the field of existing buildings, including historical assets, this technology has not yet had the same impact. This paper presents a methodology to create an intelligent digital model for an outstanding building from modern architecture in Brazil using multiple reality-based technologies. The fusion of the different point cloud raw data generated a high-resolution Dense Surface Model (DSM), the base of an accurate and detailed parametric Model. This study demonstrated the potential of digital surveying, including low-cost sensors, and BIM for built heritage documentation.

title Digital Dérive. Reconstructing urban environments based on human experience
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. 72-81
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2018.072
summary This paper describes a novel method for reconstructing urban environments based on individual occupant experience. The method relies on a low-cost off-the-shelf 360-degree camera to capture video and audio data from a natural walk through the city. It then uses a custom workflow based on an open-source Structure from Motion (SfM) library to reconstruct a dense point cloud from images extracted from the 360-degree video. The point cloud and audio data are then represented within a virtual reality (VR) model, creating a multisensory environment that immerses the viewer into the subjective experience of the occupant.

This work questions the role of precision and fidelity in our experience and representation of a “real” physical environment. On the one hand, the resulting VR environment is less complete and has lower fidelity than digital environments created through traditional modeling and rendering workflows. On the other hand, because each point in the point cloud is literally sampled from the actual environment, the resulting model also captures more of the noise and imprecision that characterizes our world. The result is an uncanny immersive experience that is less precise than traditional digital environments, yet represents many more of the unique physical characteristics that define our urban experiences.

summary This design research reimagines the architectural detail in a postdigital framework and proposes digital methods to work upon discrete tectonics. Drawing upon Marco Frascari's writing The Tell-the-Tale Detail, the study aims to reimagine tectonic thinking for focused attention after the digital turn. Today, computational tools are powerful enough to perform operations more similar to physical tools than in the earlier digital era. These tools create a "digital materiality," where architects can manipulate digital information in parallel and overlapping ways to physical corollaries. (Abrons and Fure, 2018) To date, work in this area has focused on materiality specifically. This project reinterprets tectonics using texture map editing and point cloud information, particularly reconceptualizing jointing using images. Smartphone-based 3D digital scanning was used to captured details from a series of Carlo Scarpa's influential works, isolating these details from their physical sites and focusing attention upon individual tectonic moments. As digital scans, these details problematize the rhetoric of smoothness and seamlessness prevalent in digital architecture as they are discretely construed loci yet composed of digital meshes. (Jones 2014) Once removed from their contexts, reconnecting the digital scans into compositions of "compound details" necessitated a series of new mechanisms for constructing and construing not native to the material world. Using Photoshop editing of texture-mapped images, digital texturing of meshes, and interpretation of the initial material constructions, new joints within and between these the digital scanned details were created to reframe the original detail for the post-digital.

summary As a bridge between tangible models and digital counter parts in almost all the architectural applications with Tangible User Interface, converting point clouds scanned from objects into light meshes with key-features are essential in the human-computer interaction. In this paper, an algorithm based on topological rules is introduced, which focuses on computing a topological-right mesh from a point cloud scanned by a low-cost device in real time. Mesh faces are extracted by analyzing distribution of the normal vectors of neighbor point clusters and mesh vertexes are calculated according to the topological conditions of local surrounding faces. Such a final key-feature mesh has the largest geometric similarity and least vertexes to the tangible model at an architectural cognitive level, whose dimensional accuracy is at an acceptable level concerning the low-cost device used.

summary Measured point clouds are the cast of the as-built reality. In this paper, we present an approach to derive a partially closed surface model from a point cloud. Without using fully-automated methods we instead leverage the users abstract thinking towards a half-automated approach. Hence we present our algorithm for a one click region growing in point clouds and intersecting and trimming those regions to achieve a partially watertight surface model.

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.

title DeepCloud. The Application of a Data-driven, Generative Model in Design
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. 176-185

summary Generative systems have a significant potential to synthesize innovative design alternatives. Still, most of the common systems that have been adopted in design require the designer to explicitly define the specifications of the procedures and in some cases the design space. In contrast, a generative system could potentially learn both aspects through processing a database of existing solutions without the supervision of the designer. To explore this possibility, we review recent advancements of generative models in machine learning and current applications of learning techniques in design. Then, we describe the development of a data-driven generative system titled DeepCloud. It combines an autoencoder architecture for point clouds with a web-based interface and analog input devices to provide an intuitive experience for data-driven generation of design alternatives. We delineate the implementation of two prototypes of DeepCloud, their contributions, and potentials for generative design.

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.

title Parametric Modelling Within Immersive Environments - Building a Bridge Between Existing Tools and Virtual Reality Headsets

summary Even though architectural modelling radically evolved over the course of its history, the current integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) components in the corresponding design tasks is mostly limited to enhancing visualisation. Little to none of these tools attempt to tackle the challenge of modelling within immersive environments, that calls for new input modalities in order to move away from the traditional mouse and keyboard combination. In fact, relying on 2D devices for 3D manipulations does not seem to be effective as it does not offer the same degrees of freedom. We therefore present a solution that brings VR modelling capabilities to Grasshopper, a popular parametric design tool. Together with its associated proof-of-concept application, our extension offers a glimpse at new perspectives in that field. By taking advantage of them, one can edit geometries with real-time feedback on the generated models, without ever leaving the virtual environment. The distinctive characteristics of VR applications provide a range of benefits without obstructing design activities. The designer can indeed experience the architectural models at full scale from a realistic point-of-view and truly feels immersed right next to them.

summary The passages and combinations between analog and digital languages point to issues that have persisted for decades and which continue to foster contemporary, ethical and aesthetic debates about experience and temporality. Problematizing these questions, we extend the discussion to the importance of contemporary design to adopt creative strategies that articulate thoughts from other areas of knowledge, such as philosophy and art, from the perspective of multiplicity of mediums. The intention is to oxygenate classic design issues, such as conception, form creation, and user interaction, through the provocative sensory and temporal displacements that artistic creation promotes.

summary Virtual reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality is making the headlines in the newspapers and magazines today. But unlike 25 years ago when the first VR rage started with the first Cave Automatic Virtual Environments (CAVE) infrastructures VR is now a technique that is available at very low costs.Especially the recent advances and developments in low cost VR hardware mainly the Head mounted displays (HMD), in particular those that use mobile phones but also the PC based systems like the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive together with recent software developments allow this change. Naturally this is based on the interest of the Gaming Industry and the big players in the smartphone industry. But at the moment there are nearly no tools for architects available within these systems. In our point of view there is the big potential that these technologies can give new opportunities to architects and designers to use VR and AR as part of their design toolbox and not only as a presentation tool. For us this is the most important aspect. In our projects we therefore try to develop a workflow that can be easily used even without programming and scripting skills.

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.

summary Japanese building and construction industry expect BIM for the rescue of forecasted workforce shortage due to the population aging. Although the use of BIM has been spreading over past years, the progress of BIM implementation in Japan is slow. This paper aims to identify the obstructive factor for industry's smooth transformation. First, the authors analyze Japenese BIM protocols, which includes BIM standards and guidelines, to understand the status of useful information publically available. Second, multiple BIM surveys which targeted Japanese architect and contractor firms are examined to overview the situation from practitioners' point of view. Finally, the discussion and conclusion are led to find the fundamental issue to expedite the extensive use of BIM in Japanese architecture, engineering, and construction field.

keywords In recent years there has been a gradually increasing interest in the terms on which the design and geometrical representation of the architectural object is based. ?he true challenge lies in the development of a methodology or mechanism which, having as its starting point the traditional object geometrical representation practices, will allow for a combination of new technologies towards creating new visual messages. In this research, the process of putting together a new architectural object, the digital hologram, will be seen as one such mechanism. The new views and strategies on space are open to treating spatial constructions, as a restructuring of the structures that could bring about changes for more favorable conditions for the representation of the architectural form. Thus, the strategies of architectural pioneering are judged by their ability to develop new procedures that are capable of reversing.
