title	RILAB - architectural envelopes - From spatial representation (generative algorithm) to geometric physical optimization (scientific modeling)
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.3.017
source	Sousa, JP, Xavier, JP and Castro Henriques, G (eds.), Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution - Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference - Volume 3, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2019, pp. 17-24
summary	Augmented graphical thinking operates by integrating algorithmic, heuristic, and manufacturing processes. The Representation and Ideation Laboratory (RILAB-2018) exercise begins with the application of a parametric definition developed by the team of teachers, allowing for the construction of structural systems by the means of the combination of segmental shells and bending-active. The main objetive is the construction of a scientific model of simulation for bending-active laminar structures has brought into reality trustworthy previews for architectural envelopes through the interaction of parametrized relational variables. This way we put designers in a strategic role for the building of the pre-analysis models, allowing more preciseness at the time of picking and defining materials, shapes, spaces and technologies and thus minimizing the decisions based solely in the definition of structural typological categories, local tradition or direct experience. The results verify that the strategic integration of models of geometric physical optimization and spatial representation greatly expand the capabilities in the construction of the complex system that operates in the act of projecting architecture.

title	'GHShot': a collaborative and distributed visual version control for Grasshopper parametric programming
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.3.035
source	Sousa, JP, Xavier, JP and Castro Henriques, G (eds.), Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution - Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference - Volume 3, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2019, pp. 35-44
summary	When working with parametric models, architects typically focus on using rather structuring them (Woodbury, 2010). As a result, increasing design complexity typically means a convoluted parametric model, amplifying known problems: 'hard to understand, modify, share and reuse' (Smith 2007; Davis 2011). This practice is in contrast with conventional software-programming where programmers are known to meticulously document and structure their code with versioning tool. In this paper, we argue that versioning tools could help to manage parametric modelling complexity, as it has been showing with software counterparts. Four key features of version control: committing, differentiating, branching, and merging, and how they could be implemented in a parametric design practice are discussed. Initial user test sessions with 5 student designers using GHShot Grasshopper version control plugin (Cristie and Joyce 2018, 2017) revealed that the plugin is useful to record and overview design progression, share model, and provide a fallback mechanism.

title	Integrated Parametric Urban Design in Grasshopper / Rhinoceros 3D - Demonstrated on a Master Plan in Vienna
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.3.313
source	Sousa, JP, Xavier, JP and Castro Henriques, G (eds.), Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution - Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference - Volume 3, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2019, pp. 313-322
summary	By 2050 an estimated 70 percent of the world's population will live in megacities with more than 10 million citizens (Renner 2018). This growth calls for new target-oriented, interdisciplinary methods in urban planning and design in cities to meet sustainable development targets. In response, this paper exemplifies an integrated urban design process on a master plan project in Vienna. The objective is to investigate the potential towards a holistic, digital, urban design process aimed at the development of a practical methodology for future designs. The presented urban design process includes analyses and simulation tools within Rhinoceros 3D and its plug-in Grasshopper as quality-enhancing mediums that facilitate the creative approaches in the course of the project. The increase in efficiency and variety of design variants shows a promising future for the practical suitability of this approach.

title	Trend Topics and Changing Concepts of Computational Design in the Last 16 Years - A content analysis
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.1.423
source	Sousa, JP, Xavier, JP and Castro Henriques, G (eds.), Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution - Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference - Volume 1, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2019, pp. 423-430
summary	This study argues that analysis of written content might be helpful to provide clues at a certain extent on the future directions of current research areas and the emergence of new study areas. In the scope of the study, the International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC) which has been a scientific platform covering many pioneer publications on education research in computer-aided architectural design (CAAD) field was selected as source content. Although the size of the source domain is limited, the analysis of abstracts and titles of 439 articles published in IJAC between 2003 and 2018 revealed promising results which can be examined under four characteristics: "constant", "emerging", "fading" and "solidifying" concepts. The tokens in the analysis process are words, phrases, topic nodes and links between topic nodes. The outcomes of this study might contribute to tracking the evolution of concepts their emergence or disusage in different time and contexts, and interrelations between different concepts.

summary	On May 2018 the Brazilian federal government published the Decree 9.377 setting a National Strategy for Information and Dissemination of Building Information Modelling - BIM to enable its adoption by public administration. This strategy has nine targets and among them the task of training professionals in BIM to support the demand that should be generated. A period between 2018 and 2021 has been planned to establish learning objectives and develop model disciplines, a process that, however, should not start from scratch because there are already some BIM training initiatives being performed in the country since the early 2000s. This paper has done an overview on this production highlighting some relevant conceptual contributions to this debate aiming to address challenges and possible ways to support the expected Architectural and Engineering courses restructuring.

title	A Generative System for the Terrain Vague - Transcarioca Bus Expressway in Rio de Janeiro
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.1.035
source	Sousa, JP, Xavier, JP and Castro Henriques, G (eds.), Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution - Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference - Volume 1, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2019, pp. 35-44
summary	The transport infrastructures are important elements in the cities, but, as there is a lack of planning, they tear through the urban fabric and leave empty spaces. Due to government and private disinterest, these spaces become vacant, forgotten and degraded. However, these extensive Terrain Vague offer new potential for urban use. To exploit this potential, we need methodologies that can offer personalised, extensive, feasible urban solutions. For this, we propose a computational generative system, following a 4-step methodology: 1) Site analyses and Terrain Vague identification; 2) Site classification according to parameters based on a "visual grammar"; 3) Algorithm associating space properties with geometric transformation to generate solutions: namely transformative operations in public spaces, additive transformations in semi-public spaces and subtractive operations in semi-private spaces; 4) Solution evaluation and development, according to shade criteria, spatial hierarchy and volumetric density. With our own algorithms combined with genetic algorithms, we guided the evolution of 50 volumetric solutions. The exponential increase in information requires new methodologies (Schwab, 2018). Results show the potential of computational methodologies to produce extensive urban solutions. This research, developed in a final graduation project in Architecture, aims at stimulating generative methodologies in undergraduate courses.

title	Shaping hybrids – Form finding of new material systems
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 16 - no. 2, 91-103
summary	Form-finding processes are an integral part of structural design. Because of their limitations, the classic approaches to finding a form – such as hanging models and the soap-film analogy – play only a minor role. The various possibilities of digital experimentation in the context of structural optimisation create new options for the designer generating forms, while enabling control over a wide variety of parameters. A complete mapping of the mechanical properties of a structure in a continuum mechanics model is possible but so are simplified modelling strategies which take into account only the most important properties of the structure, such as iteratively approximating to a solution via representations of kinematic states. Form finding is thus an extremely complex process, determined both by the freely selected parameters and by design decisions.

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	Our everyday environment plays a significant role in shaping our social and emotional interactions. It has been empirically evidenced that natural daylight mitigates depression, insomnia, and other disorders (Weber, 2022). This resonates with the fact that individuals with disrupted circadian rhythms are more susceptible to mental health perturbations (Menculini et al., 2018). The current investigation delves into the correlation between luminosity and spatial configuration within the Guillermo Grantt Benavente Psychiatry Service in Concepción, Chile. The contention is that proficient spatial connectivity and exposure to natural daylight can potentially enhance therapeutic dimensions. The overarching objective is to comprehend this nexus for formulating an architectural design methodology. Specific objectives encompass: 1. Defining the communal spaces under scrutiny; 2. Analyzing luminosity and spatial attributes. The methodological approach encompasses a hybrid framework encompassing interviews, spatial analysis, and illuminance measurements. An intricate interrelationship among preferred spaces, illuminance, and spatial characteristics is anticipated.

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.

title	Critical Computational Literacy: A Call for the Development of Socially Aware, Ethically Minded Research within ACADIA

summary	As computational design matures and strives to move out of the studio/lab and into the real world, multiple dimensions of literacy, valuing the social, the political, and the ethical as well as the technical and the creative, must be acknowledged and supported. This paper evaluates the presence of research advancing socially aware, ethically minded issues currently found in ACADIA’s body of research and offers a strategy for shaping future work in this area. First, data from the CumInCAD index is used to provide a quantitative understanding of the degree to which these issues are represented in ACADIA’s history, with particular focus on the last decade. The paper goes on to articulate key offerings from the field of Software Studies to motivate and identify possible entry points for computational designers to further engage the social and ethical agencies tied to their work. Within this context, the paper argues that the set of lenses used to understand a project's digital components expands to include social, cultural, political, and ethical effects in addition to the technical realities of implementation. The analytical methods presented are intended to support a preliminary survey of ACADIA's literature and serve as a first step in identifying avenues for pursuing socially aware, ethically minded computational design research.

summary	Rapidly evolving technologies are increasingly shaping our societies as well as our understanding of the discipline of architecture. Computational developments in fields such as machine learning and data mining enable the creation of learning networks that involve architects alongside algorithms in developing new understanding. Such networks are increasingly able to observe current social conditions, plan, decide, act on changing scenarios, learn from the consequences of their actions, and recognize patterns out of complex activity networks. While digital technologies have already enabled architecture to transcend static physical boxes, new challenges of the present and visions for the future continue to call for both innovative responses integrating emerging technologies into experimental architectural practice and their critical reflection. In this process, the capability of adapting to complex social and environmental challenges through learning, prototyping and verifying solution proposals in the context of rapidly shifting realities has become a core challenge to the architecture discipline. Supported by advancing technologies, architects and researchers are creating new frameworks for digital workflows that engage with new challenges in a variety of ways. Learning networks that recognize patterns from massive data, rapid prototyping systems that flexibly iterate innovative physical solutions, and adaptive design methods all contribute to a flexible and networked digital architecture that is able to learn from both past and present to evolve towards a promising vision of the future.

Analysing key factors such as consumer demand, transportation, location, built environment, and competition, the study utilizes count regression models to assess occurrence frequency. The investigation reveals a significant surge in community restaurants from 2018 to 2021, influencing spatial patterns. Population density, housing prices, transportation infrastructure, and built environment emerge as pivotal factors impacting neighbourhood restaurants dynamics. The Hurdle-NB model, considering both count and zero parts, demonstrates the best fit. This study contributes nuanced insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders, aiding in enhancing accessibility, sustainability, and competitiveness of neighbourhood restaurants in urban areas amidst changing urban dynamics and consumer trends.

summary	Several research projects (Gramazio et al. 2014; Willmann et al. 2015; Helm et al. 2017; Adel et al. 2018; Adel Ahmadian 2020) have investigated the use of automated assembly technologies (e.g., industrial robotic arms) for the fabrication of nonstandard timber structures. Building on these projects, we present a novel and transferable process for the robotic fabrication of bespoke timber subassemblies made of off-the-shelf standard timber elements. A nonstandard timber structure (Figure 2), consisting of four bespoke subassemblies: three vertical supports and a Zollinger (Allen 1999) roof structure, acts as the case study for the research and validates the feasibility of the proposed process.
