title	3d-Printed Bending-Active Formwork for Shell Structures
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-6568-7_18
source	Architectural Intelligence Selected Papers from the 1st International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2026)
summary	This paper presents a novel building technique for the formwork of thin shell structures with 3d-printed bending-active mesh sheets. To enhance the structural stiffness of the flexible plastic materials, bending-active form is applied to utilize the geometry stiffening effect through the large deformation of bending. As it is the main problem to determine the final geometry of the bent surface, design methods with consideration of the numerical simulation is researched and both simulations via dynamic relaxation and finite element method are presented. Several demonstrator pavilions and the building process are shown to test the feasibilities of the presented building techniques in the real shell project. It is expected that this method could be applied into more thin shell projects to realize an efficient building technology with less exhaust of materials.

title	Towards an Interactionist Model of Cognizant Architecture - A sentient maze built with swarm intelligence
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.201
source	Werner, L and Koering, D (eds.), Anthropologic: Architecture and Fabrication in the cognitive age - Proceedings of the 38th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, TU Berlin, Berlin, Germany, 16-18 September 2020, pp. 201-208
summary	Cognizant Architecture is a term used to define sentient and smart structures broadly. In this paper, an 'Interactionist' model of cognizant architecture is proposed as a method of investigating the development process by inverting the conventional concept of maze design. The proposed 'Cognizant Maze' aims to achieve user-architecture micro-interactions through delighting the users, presenting a physical activity equally attractive to kids and adults alike, and activating mind-enticing visual effects. Like many previous innovations, nature is what inspires us in the maze-making process. In modelling the cognizant maze, we develop the concept and workflow of prototyping a form of swarm intelligence. We are particularly interested in exploring how simulated behaviours of swarm intelligence can be manifested in a maze environment for micro-interactions to take place. Combining parametric modelling and Arduino-based physical computing, our current interactive prototyping shows how the maze and its users can 'think, act and play' with each other, hence achieving an interactionist model of cognizant architecture. We reflect that the lessons learned from the Cognizant Maze experiment may lead to further development of cognizant architecture as a propagation of swarm intelligence through multi-layered micro-interactions.

title	Virtual Simulation of New Residential Buildings in Lingnan Using Vernacular Wisdom
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.1.269
source	Werner, L and Koering, D (eds.), Anthropologic: Architecture and Fabrication in the cognitive age - Proceedings of the 38th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, TU Berlin, Berlin, Germany, 16-18 September 2020, pp. 269-278
summary	Every new idea has some sort of precedent or echoes from the past. It is the same for the new residential buildings in Lingnan, China. In Lingnan, the vernacular knowledge of building design has been established over thousands of years. Whether it is suitable for use today should be verified. In this research, virtual simulations are employed to arrive at an overall conclusion. Virtual simulations based on PHOENICS, ENVI_MET, CadnaA, and Ecotect software were separately used for analysing the case of new residential buildings located in Lingnan. The study analysed the wind, thermal, acoustic, and light environments, which are four aspects of these new residential buildings. According to the results of our research, the paper discussed ways to amend and improve the new residential buildings that sit within the overall spirit of the vernacular knowledge of Lingnan; thus, it helps to put the traditional knowledge into the current context. The vernacular knowledge from XS to XL scale contexts, such as Feng-shui, was verified as being suitable for use in Lingnan today.

title	A big data evaluation of urban street walkability using deep learning and environmental sensors - a case study around Osaka University Suita campus
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.319
source	Werner, L and Koering, D (eds.), Anthropologic: Architecture and Fabrication in the cognitive age - Proceedings of the 38th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, TU Berlin, Berlin, Germany, 16-18 September 2020, pp. 319-328
summary	Although it is widely known that the walkability of urban street plays a vital role in promoting street quality and public health, there is still no consensus on how to measure it quantitatively and comprehensively. Recent emerging deep learning and sensor network has revealed the possibility to overcome the previous limit, thus bringing forward a research paradigm shift. Taking this advantage, this study explores a new approach for urban street walkability measurement. In the experimental study, we capture Street View Picture, traffic flow data, and environmental sensor data covering streets within Osaka University and conduct both physical and perceived walkability evaluation. The result indicates that the street walkability of the campus is significantly higher than that of municipal, and the streets close to large service facilities have better walkability, while others receive lower scores. The difference between physical and perceived walkability indicates the feasibility and limitation of the auto-calculation method.

title	Traditional Knowledge on Modern Milling Robots - How CNC-joinery machines promote a renaissance to lost techniques in the profession of a carpenter.
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.597
source	Werner, L and Koering, D (eds.), Anthropologic: Architecture and Fabrication in the cognitive age - Proceedings of the 38th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, TU Berlin, Berlin, Germany, 16-18 September 2020, pp. 597-604
summary	The profession of a carpenter is changing significantly. Over the last 20-30 years, CNC-joinery machines became ready to penetrate the market and lead to a significant optimization of daily processes in these firms. In this case study, we take a closer look at the working techniques of a carpenter in the Bregenzerwald. This skilled craftsman found a way, of how to translate his expert knowledge on to a CNC-joinery machine. Instead of only following modern, simplified construction methods, he tried to revive historic methods and developed a way to translate his expertise. By scaling up on a technological basis, he was able to reintroduce the so-called 'Dovetail joint' and by that managed to erect the first proof of concept, a single-family house. This research shows, how a new integrated robot enables a way of manufacturing, that otherwise might not be affordable anymore. Benefits of this approach can be seen on a variety of economic and ecologic aspects. As mentioned by the carpenter, these results are encouraging, but for him, the real advantage is the increased empowerment to skill, craft and knowledge typical for his profession.
