Online and Global. 24-30 October 2020. edited by M. Yablonina, A. Marcus, S. Doyle, M. del Campo, V. Ago, B. Slocum. 192-197
summary	This project presents computational design and fabrication methods for locating standard steel reinforcement within 3D printed water-soluble PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) molds to create non-standard concrete columns. Previous methods from “Melting: Augmenting Concrete Columns with Water Soluble 3D Printed Formwork” and “Dissolvable 3D Printed Formwork: Exploring Additive Manufacturing for Reinforced Concrete” (Doyle & Hunt 2019) were adapted for larger-scale construction, including the introduction of new hardware, development of custom programming strategies, and updated digital fabrication techniques. Initial research plans included 3D printing continuous PVA formwork with a KUKA Agilus Kr10 R1100 industrial robotic arm. However, COVID-19 university campus closures led to fabrication shifting to the author’s home, and this phase instead relied upon a LulzBot TAZ 6 (build volume of 280 mm x 280 mm x 250 mm) with an HS+ (Hardened Steel) tool head (1.2 mm nozzle diameter). Two methods were developed for this project phase: new 3D printing hardware and custom GCode production. The methods were then evaluated in the fabrication of three non-standard columns designed around five standard reinforcement bars (3/8-inch diameter): Woven, Twisted, Aperture. Each test column was eight inches in diameter (the same size as a standard Sonotube concrete form) and 4 feet tall, approximately half the height of an architecturally scaled 8-foot-tall column. Each column’s form was generated from combining these diameter and height restrictions with the constraints of standard reinforcement placement and minimum concrete coverage. The formwork was then printed, assembled, cast, and then submerged in water to dissolve the molds to reveal the cast concrete. This mold dissolving process limits the applicable scale for the work as it transitions from the research lab to the construction site. Therefore, the final column was placed outside with its mold intact to explore if humidity and water alone can dissolve the PVA formwork in lieu of submersion.

summary	Timber gridshell is an efficient structural system. However, the feature of double curved surface result in limitation of practical application of timber gridshell. Digital technology provides an opportunity to break this limitation and achieve a lightweight free-form gridshell. In the practice of Venue B for 2018 West Bund World AI Conference, architects and structural engineers cooperated to explore innovative design of lightweight steel-timber composite gridshell with the help of digital tools. Setting digital technology as support and restrains of the project as motivation, the design tried to achieve the realization of material, structure, construction and spatial expression. The digital design and construction process will be discussed from four aspects, including form-finding of gridshell surface, steel-timber composite design, digital detailed design and model-based fabrication and construction. We focuses on the use of digital tools in this process, as well as the role of the design subject.

title	Lumen
source	Living Architecture Systems Group White Papers 2019 [ISBN 978-1-988366-18-0] Riverside Architectural Press: Toronto, Canada 2019. pp.291 - 318
summary	This paper documents the computational design methods, digital fabrication strategies, and generative design process for [Lumen], winner of MoMA & MoMA PS1’s 2017 Young Architects Program. The project was installed in the courtyard at MoMA PS1 in Long Island City, New York, during the summer of 2017. Two lightweight 3D digitally knitted fabric canopy structures composed of responsive tubular and cellular components employ recycled textiles, photo-luminescent and solar active yarns that absorb and store UV energy, change color, and emit light. This environment offers spaces of respite, exchange, and engagement as a 150 x 75-foot misting system responds to visitors’ proximity, activating fabric stalactites that produce a refreshing micro-climate. Families of robotically prototyped and woven recycled spool chairs provide seating throughout the courtyard. The canopies are digitally fabricated with over 1,000,000 yards of high tech responsive yarn and are supported by three 40+ foot tensegrity towers and the surrounding matrix of courtyard walls. Material responses to sunlight as well as physical participation are integral parts of our exploratory approach to the 2017 YAP brief. The project is mathematically generated through form-finding simulations informed by the sun, site, materials, program, and the material morphology of knitted cellular components. Resisting a biomimetic approach, [Lumen] employs an analogic design process where complex material behavior and processes are integrated with personal engagement and diverse programs. The comprehensive installation was designed by Jenny Sabin Studio and fabricated by Shima Seiki WHOLEGARMENT, Jacobsson Carruthers, and Dazian with structural engineering by Arup and lighting by Focus Lighting.

title	Non-Standard Housing - Exploring Generative Design Strategies for Differentiated Residential Projects
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2019.2.241
source	M. Haeusler, M. A. Schnabel, T. Fukuda (eds.), Intelligent & Informed - Proceedings of the 24th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 2, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand, 15-18 April 2019, pp. 241-250
summary	This paper presents arguments and experiences around generative design applied to housing, combining the potential of computational tools with an agenda to increase internal differentiation. It argues for a more varied and mixed approach to the clustering of apartment types and building typologies to increase the social diversity within projects and in relation to this, the sustainability and resilience of urban environments towards future societal changes. Through the discussion of two residential projects operating at different scales, it is shown how carefully calibrated complexity can be introduced in the design process, communicating with clients and collaborators and keeping the complexity of the workflow minimised. It is argued that this avenue of work points to significant opportunities to rethink how computational architectural and urban design processes can be linked to social sciences and a more human-centred approach within the understanding of performance of the built environment.

title	Design for Mass-Customization
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2019.564
source	ACADIA 19:UBIQUITY AND AUTONOMY [Proceedings of the 39th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-578-59179-7] (The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture, Austin, Texas 21-26 October, 2019) pp. 564-572
summary	Tradition wood tectonics, like interlocking joints, have regained focus against the background of digital design and fabrication technologies. While research on interlocking joints is quite focused on joint geometries, especially for timber plates, there has been less attention on the design and mass customization of interlocking joints for linear timber elements. In this context, this research addresses the challenges of mass customization of interlocking joints for linear elements through the design and realization of a 9-meterhigh timber structure with fully interlocking joints, without the use of any nails or glue. A customized code generation program was developed for the fabrication process, allowing the rapid programming and fabrication for all the 840 elements and 2592 notches. The project demonstrates how innovative structures are allowed through the synthesis of joint geometry, assembly process, and cutting-edge fabrication technology.

summary	As the medium of the environment, a building's environment performance-based generative design cannot be separated from intelligent data processing. Sustainable building design should seek an optimized form of environmental performance through a complete set of intelligent induction, autonomous analysis and feedback systems. This paper analyzed the trends in architectural design development in the era of algorithms and data and the status quo of building generative design based on environmental performance, as well as highlighting the importance of physical experiments. Furthermore, a design method for self-generating environmental performance of urban high-rise buildings by applying artificial intelligence neural network algorithms to a customized physical wind tunnel is proposed, which mainly includes a morphology parameter control and environmental data acquisition system, code translation of environmental evaluation rules and architecture of a neural network algorithm model. The design-oriented intelligent prediction can be generated directly from the target environmental requirements to the architectural forms.

source	Ji-Hyun Lee (Eds.) "Hello, Culture!" [18th International Conference, CAAD Futures 2019, Proceedings / ISBN 978-89-89453-05-5] Daejeon, Korea, p. 185
summary	In the urbanization process, high-rise is favored and popularized? while results to the high-density urban space which aggravated the deterioration of urban wind environment. Using quantifiable environmental factors to control the building, is promoting a more meaningful group formation of the sustainable high-rise buildings. Thus, taking wind performance into account in high-rise design infancy is essential. According to the achievement of CAADRIA2018 “SELF-FORM-FINDING WIND TUNNEL TO ENVIRONMENTAL-PERFORMANCE URBAN AND BUILDING DESIGN” workshop, a preliminary set related to the environmental performance urban morphology generation system and method was constructed. In this study, various of high-rise building forms that might be conducive to urban ventilation were selected, such as “hollow-out”, “twisting”, “façade retracting” and “liftup”, to design the Dynamic Model System with multi-dimensional motion.

summary	It is a great challenge to digitally generate emotionally satisfying patterns with national style characteristics to meet diversified consumer demands for national patterns. As the core of national culture’s gestation, growth and development, cultural genes can realize cultural inheritance and maintain national identity . From the view of design, the basic feature elements of cultural genes are extracted by original national pattern deconstruction and semantically summarized to form specific cultural design genes suitable for the rapid design of national pattern. Further, the topology principle and ComputerAided design is introduced to simultaneously generate pattern shapes using Self-Crossing and Cross-Crossing transformation by shape grammar. Then, the pattern elements are arranged according to the initial ethnic pattern composition rules to generate new series of ethnic patterns. Finally, Chinese Tibetan pattern is patterned as an example to demonstrate that this research can creates patterns faster and in line with the user's intent.

summary	This paper introduces an adaptive robotic spatial aggregation system for the development of an intricate self-supporting glass structure. Rather than using discrete and standardized building elements in the design and fabrication process, this research focuses on utilizing a non-arbitrary shape as an aggregated material for autonomous robotic assembly. More specifically, this paper presents an adaptive robotic fabrication pipeline that measures the size of hollow glass balls (inaccurate materials) as fabrication units to aggregate the entire glass structure. Ultraviolet (UV) curing adhesive is used as the bond between each glass element. Thus, through the live robotic programming as well as various combinations of spherical glass objects and UV curing adhesives/devices, the entire glass structure is self-supported. The project is aimed not only at the development of algorithms and a robotic fabrication system, but also the exploration of the aesthetics of glass materials. In other words, this project investigates a flexible and adaptable framework in response to live sensor data for the design and fabrication of nonstandard spatial structures aggregated out of discrete spherical glass elements, and it further explores glass material aesthetic and perception of architecture.

title	Design, Analysis and Robotic Fabrication of a Bending-Active Shell Structure with Thin Sheets Based on Curved-Crease-Folding Technique
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2019.1.063
source	M. Haeusler, M. A. Schnabel, T. Fukuda (eds.), Intelligent & Informed - Proceedings of the 24th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 1, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand, 15-18 April 2019, pp. 63-72
summary	This paper shows a design and building application of an innovative structure concept which is developed by the authors. The long-span shell structure (8m10m2.5m) built with 1.5mm thin aluminum sheets demonstrates the possibility to apply bending-active structures with flexible thin sheet material in shell structures to enhance the global and local stiffness. The structure is mainly originated from the curved-crease-folding technique which enhances the structural stiffness by introducing curvature to the surfaces. The Y-shape structural elements define the basic geometrical rules and find its global double-curved geometry via the folding of the three lateral ribs. The full-scale prototype and its design and fabrication techniques show a design framework of the structure from its form-finding, surface optimization, robotic simulated fabrication to the final full-scale assembly. As a pioneer pavilion in a research workshop, students' design with diverse forms also show the widely possible application of this structural concept.

summary	Although research on robotic brickwork assembly systems has long focused on the automatic assembly of bricks, most studies are conducted in the laboratory with refined environmental and material conditions. This paper presents the development and application of a novel robotic masonry system that directly confronts the challenges and constraints of on-site construction in a generic site in rural China, including low-quality bricks, thick mortar connection, and critical temperatures. The construction process includes site surveys, foundation construction, wall masonry, landscape construction, and ground paving. During the process, the robot's arms are used for making formworks for the foundation and creating a pipeline for brick masonry, including printing mortar and brick tiling. A novel duel function end effector is developed to include the accurate printing of thick mortar, and the design is developed in consideration of the site condition and construction process

summary	This paper presents the design and construction of a 3D-printed thin bending-active formwork for shell. In order to use less scaffolding and make a dome with flexible material,3-D print is applied to the formwork. First step is form-finding . Two single -curved surfaces are used to fit the form found by Kanagaroo and then unroll them .Principle stress lines are also printed on the unrolled formwork to enhance it. However, the formwork with stress lines is hard to bend. So, bending-active simulation made by ABAQUS is also applied to find the best mesh pattern to bend. Bend the basic pattern first on the framework and then print Principle stress lines onto it. Karamba is used to simulate the deformation of the shell under gravity load. It is proved that grid made up of stress lines have the best performance The full scale prototype is made up of two pieces shell bent and tied together can stand steadily. Spring-back test shows that the second layer printed on the shell can help to provide deformation.

summary	The complexity of urban social system makes it difficult to be computerized. The trend of simplification has always existed in understanding and modelling the city. However, this enlarges the gap between the planned or designed urban and the real operations of the city. This research focuses on the Favela to study the general principles of the social system and is doing an attempt to computerize the Favela. Agent-based Model is applied in this research and has been developed by involving more groups of agents, imitating multiple social systems. The interactions among different systems in computation are based on initial sociological studies. The computational model can be understood as a preliminary study of computerized social system.

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.

title	On the Impact of Machine Learning: Architecture without Architects?
source	Ji-Hyun Lee (Eds.) "Hello, Culture!" [18th International Conference, CAAD Futures 2019, Proceedings / ISBN 978-89-89453-05-5] Daejeon, Korea, pp. 148-167
summary	Architecture has always followed and adopted technological breakthroughs of other areas. As a case in point, in the last decades, the field of computation changed the face of architectural practice. Considering the recent breakthroughs of Machine Learning (ML), it is expectable to see architecture adopting ML-based approaches. However, it is not yet clear how much this adoption will change the architectural practice and in order to forecast this change it is necessary to understand the foundations of ML and its impact in other fields of human activity. This paper discusses important ML techniques and areas where they were successfully applied. Based on those examples, this paper forecast hypothetical uses of ML in the realm of building design. In particular, we examine ML approaches in conceptualization, algorithmization, modeling, and optimization tasks. In the end, we conjecture potential applications of such approaches, suggest future lines of research, and speculate on the future face of the architectural profession.

summary	To achieve Sustainable Development Goals, in addition to the switch to sustainable energy sources and energy-efficient buildings, transport offers a major lever for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gases. The increasing demand for emission-free mobility (e.g. through electromobility) but also heat pumps has a direct impact on the electricity consumption of buildings and settlements. It is still difficult to simulate the effects and interactions of different measures as sector coupling concepts require comprehensible tools for ex ante evaluation of planning measures at the community level and the linking of domain-specific models (energy, transport). Using the municipality of Bruck an der Leitha (Austria) as an example, a digital twin based on an open data model (Bednar et al., 2020) is created for the development of methods, which can be used to simulate measures to improve the settlement structure within the municipality. Forecast models for mobility (Schmaus, 2019; Ritz, 2019) and the building stock are developed or applied and linked via the open data model to be able to run through development scenarios and variants. The forecasting and visualisation options created in the project form the basis for the ex-ante evaluation of measures and policies on the way to a Positive-Energy-District. By identifying and collecting missing data, data gaps are filled for the simulation of precise models in the specific study area. A digital, interactive 3D model is created to examine the forecast results and the different scenarios.
