summary Extrusion based three-dimensional additive manufacturing technology forms objects by driving the material through a nozzle depositing a linear structure through vector-building blocks called roads. In a common 3-axis system, the roads are stacked layer upon layer for forming the final object. However, forming overhanging geometry in this way requires additional support structures increasing material usage and effective printing time. The paper presents a novel Horizontal forming (HF) approach and method for forming overhanging geometry, HF is a new extrusion-based AM approach that allows rapid and stable forming of horizontal structures without additional support in 3-axis systems. This approach can provide new design and manufacturing possibilities for extrusion AM, with emphasis on medium and large-scale AM. HF can affect the outcome's aesthetic and mechanical properties. Moreover, it can significantly accelerate the production process and reduce material waste. The present paper maps the influence of various parameters employed in the HF method, providing a deeper understanding of the printing process. Additionally, it explores and demonstrates the potential functional and aesthetic characteristics that can be achieved with HF for industrial design and architectural products.

title Fantastic Facades and How to Build Them
source D. Holzer, W. Nakapan, A. Globa, I. Koh (eds.), RE: Anthropocene, Design in the Age of Humans - Proceedings of the 25th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 1, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, 5-6 August 2020, pp. 355-364

summary As part of an ongoing investigation in augmented architecture, the exploration of an architectural facade as a crucial element of architecture is a challenging design experiment. We believe that new architectural facades when seamlessly integrated with augmented architecture, enhanced with multiple functionalities, interactivity and performative qualities can extend a building's use beyond its typical function and limited lifespan. Augmented facades or "Fantastic Facades," can be seen as a separate entity from the internal spaces inside the building but at the same time, can also be seen as an integral part of the building as a whole that connects users, spaces, functions and interactivity between inside and outside. An option design studio for 4th year architecture students was offered to conduct this investigation for a duration of one semester. During the process of form generations, students experimented with various 2D and 3D techniques including biomimicry and generative designs, biomechanics or animal movement patterns, leaf stomata patterns, porous bubble patterns, and origami fold patterns. Eventually, five facade designs were carried on towards the final step of incorporating performative interactions and contextual programs to the facade requirements of an existing building or structure in Bangkok.

summary In usual robotic fabrication by 6 axis industrial robot such as KUKA ,ABB and other brands ,the usual robot's 4th ,5th and 6th axis is exactly converge in one point .When this type robot (pieper) is doing movement commands ,setting the degree of 4th axis close to zero is an ideal condition for motion stability ,especially for putting device which connect to tool head on 4th axis arm part.In plastic melting or others print which not cares the rotation angle about the printing direction(the printing direction means the effector's output normal direction vector, KUKA is X axis,ABB is Z axis) ,the optimization of 4th axis technology not only makes printing stable but also makes better quality for printing.The paper introduces a new algorithm to get the analytics solution.The algorithm is clear explained by mathematics and geometry ways. At the end of paper, a grasshopper custom plugin is provided ,which contains this new algorithm ,with this plugin, people can get the optimized target path plane more easily.

summary The irreversible imprint of humankind on Earth calls for revisiting current construction practices. This paper forwards a vision for post-Anthropocene, large-scale, architectural, and landscape construction. This vision relates to transforming natural terrains into architecture using on-site robotic tools and enabling greater sustainability through increased sensibility. Despite advancements in large-scale digital fabrication in architecture, the field still mainly focuses on the production of objects. The proposed vision aims to advance theory and practice towards territorial scale digital fabrication of environments. Three notions are proposed: material-aware construction, large-scale customization, and integrated fabrication. These aspects are demonstrated through research and teaching projects. Using scale models, they explore the deployment of robotic tools toward reforming, stabilizing, and reconstituting soil in an architectural context. Together, they propose a theoretical ground for in situ digital fabrication for a new era, relinking architecture to the terrains upon which it is formed.

summary We introduce direct, versatile and almost tactile techniques for designing topographies and density distributions in architecture and landscape architecture through a sequence of digital 2D drawing and 3D modeling tools. We situate these techniques within the broader context of the growing digital divide between designers and developers of design tools. We explain, demonstrate and discuss:(i) the relevance of the techniques in design tasks, (ii) advantages of our tool sequences, (iii) the functionality of the tools, their hitherto underused connection and their sequential use. We reason that hitherto, accessibility of design tools (or simplicity of input and handling) has been much less developed than their performance (or complexity of output and variability) and call on developers to remedy this.

title An Ethnographic Enquiry into Digital Design Tool Making

summary This paper presents an ethnographic pilot study into the design and application of digital design tools in a leading Shanghai-based architecture and engineering firm. From a participant observer's point of view, we employ qualitative research methods to enquire the conditions and experiences entailed in day-to-day collaborative activities in conjunction with the custom-development of digital design tools in advanced practice. The described initial ethnographic enquiry lasted for six weeks. While previous studies tended to favour post-rationalised and outcome-focused reports into toolmaking for design, we observe through participant observation that daily collaboration in practice is multi-faceted and overwhelmingly more complex. This paper further portrays and reflects on the concomitant opportunities and challenges of participant observation as a research method that can bridge academia and practice. We argue that, in order to appreciate and to inform digital design toolmaking practices, it is essential to recognise the richness of practice, in and of itself.

title Visual Meets Textual - A Hybrid Programming Environment for Algorithmic Design

summary Algorithmic approaches are currently being introduced in many areas of human activity and architecture is no exception. However, designing with algorithms is a foreign concept to many and the inadequacy of current programming environments creates a barrier to the generalized adoption of Algorithmic Design (AD). This research aims to provide architects with a programming tool they feel comfortable with, while allowing them to fully benefit from AD's advantages in the creation of complex architectural models. We present Khepri.gh, a hybrid solution that combines Grasshopper, a visual programming environment, with Khepri, a flexible and scalable textual programming tool. Khepri.gh establishes a bridge between the visual and the textual paradigm, offering its users the best of both worlds while providing an extra set of advantages, including portability among CAD, BIM, and analysis tools.

summary Increasing use of computational design tools have led to an increase in the demand for mass customised fabrication, rendering decades old industrial CAD-CAM protocols limiting for such fabrication processes. This bespoke demand of components has led to a unified workflow between design strategies and production techniques. Recent advances in computation have allowed us to predict and register the tolerances of fabrication before and while being fabricated. Procedural algorithms are a set of novel problem-solving methods and have been attracting considerable attention for their good performance.They follow a procedural way of iteration with an established way of behavior.In the particular case of Incremental Sheet forming (ISF), these algorithms can realize several functions such as edge detection and segmentation required for optimizing machining time and accuracy.In this context, this paper presents a methodology to optimize long-drawn-out ISF operation by using geometrical intervention informed by supervised machine learning algorithms.

summary OGOS+ is a GIS data-based tool, which would offer urban planners, architects, and researchers visualisations of potential building mass in the form of 3D models. It compares the height of existing buildings to the maximum permitted height by German zoning law and calculates the potential building mass. To ensure minimum building footprints it only calculates the densification potential on top of existing buildings. It summarises information of the building potential for future utilisation. The goal is an increase of urban density achieved with micro interventions.

title Connecting Timber Sheet Materials to Create a Self-Supporting Structure using Robotic Fabrication and Computational Tools

doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.1.085
summary The research developed in this paper is the workflow to create a self-supporting structure from sheet materials using robotic fabrication and computational tools. This research focuses on timber sheet materials, as timber is a material that can be altered in a variety of ways. Japanese timber connections were a strong influence for this research, due to its prolonged lifespan and sustainable advantages. In the past, timber fabrication techniques have been limited due to design limitations. This research explored how current technology, specifically parametric software combined with robotic fabrication, can create timber connections to connect sheet materials at different angles. This method was utilised to repurpose the concept of sheet materials towards a complex structure, which adopted the idea of mass customisation over mass production. This can help reshape the future of architecture through the use of advancing technology and sustainable assembly techniques using timber to timber joints.

summary A growing awareness of architecture's environmental responsibility is encouraging a shift from an industrial age to an ecological one. This shift emphasises a new era of materiality, characterised by a special focus on bio-polymers. The potential of these materials is to address unsustainable modes of resource consumption, and to rebalance our relationship with the natural. However, bio-polymers also challenge current design and manufacturing practices, which rely on highly manufactured and standardized materials. In this paper, we present material experiments and digital design and fabrication methodologies for cellulose-based composites, to create porous biodegradable panels. Cellulose, the most abundant bio-polymer on Earth, has potential for differentiated architectural applications. A key limit is the critical role of additive fabrication methods for larger scale elements, which are a subject of ongoing research. In this paper, we describe how controlling the interdependent relationship between the additive manufacturing process and the material grading enables the manipulation of the material's performance, and the related control aspects including printing parameters such as speed, nozzle diameter, air flow, etc., as well as tool path trajectory. Our design exploration responds to the emerging fabrication methods to achieve different levels of porosity and depth which define the geometry of a panel.

summary The deterministic and linear nature of robotic processes in architectural construction often allows no or very little adjustments during the fabrication process. If any need for modification arise the process is usually interrupted, changes are accommodated, and the process is resumed or restarted. The rigidity in this fabrication process leaves little room for creative intervention and human activities and robotic process are often considered as two segregated processes.The paper will present and discuss the methodological and design challenges of interactive robotic fabrication of brickwork with an industrial robotic arm, a webcam and bricks with varying color tones. Emphasis will be on the integration of external computer vision libraries within Rhino Grasshopper to augment the interactive robotic process. The paper will describe and demonstrate a framework comprising (1) robotic pick and place, material selection and evaluation using computer vision, (2) interactive robotic actuation and (3) the role of human input during a probabilistic fabrication-based design process.

summary Data-driven Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology has brought new tools to efficiently deal with the tension between the real and the virtual environments in the field of Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO). For historic assets, BIM represents a paradigm shift, enabling better decision-making about preventive maintenance, heritage management, and interpretation. The potential application of the Historic-BIM is creating a digital twin of the asset. This paper deals with the concept of a virtual environment for the consolidation and dissemination of heritage information. Here we show the process of creating interactive virtual environments for the Pampulha Modern Ensemble designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the 1940s, and the workflow to their dissemination in an AR visualization APP. Our results demonstrate the APP feasibility to the Pampulha's building interpretation.

The second and third elements of sensMOD are parts and interaction which focus attention on the nature of complexity and connectivity in our networked world. The paper proposes a methodology that was used to guide the teaching of an elective for third year architecture students at a UK university. Its wider purpose is to contribute to discussion concerning the dysfunctional state of an AEC sector that needs to consider its productivity as projections of wider networks of resource and energy relationships. Henri Lefebvre's spatial theory (1991) guides the narrative and formulation of sensMOD.

summary Textiles and architecture share a long, intertwined history from the earliest enclosures to contemporary high-tech tensile structures. In the Four Elements of Architecture, Gottfried Semper (2010) posited wickerwork and carpet enclosures to be the essential origins of architectural space. More recently, architectural designers are capitalizing on the characteristics of textiles that are difficult or impossible to reproduce with other material systems: textiles are pliable, scalable, and materially efficient. As industrial knitting machines join robotic systems in architecture schools with fabrication- forward agendas, much of the recent developments in textile-based projects make use of knitting. In this paper, we propose an alternative textile technique, lacemaking, for architectural fabrication. We present a method for translating traditional lacemaking techniques to an architectural scale and explore its relative advantages over other textiles. In particular, we introduce bobbin lace and describe its steps both in traditional production and at an architectural scale. We use the unique properties of bobbin lace to form workflows for fabrication and computational analysis. An example of computational analysis demonstrates the ability to optimize lace-based designs towards particular labor objectives. We discuss opportunities for automation and consider the broader implications of understanding a material system relative to the cost of labor to produce designs using it.

summary In a systems building experiment, we explored how directly manipulating non-parametric geometries can be used together with a real-time parametric performance analytics for informed design decision-making in the early phases of design. This combination gives rise to a design process where considerations that would traditionally take place in the late phases of design can become part of the early phases. The paper presents FlowUI, a prototype tool for performance-driven design that is developed in a collaboration with our industry partner as part of our design analytics research program. The tool works with and responds to changes in the design modeling environment, processes the design data and presents the results in design (data) analytics interfaces. We discuss the system's design intent and its overall architecture, followed by a set of suggestions on the comparative analysis of design solutions and design reports generation as integral parts of design exploration tasks.

summary Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, offers advantages over traditional construction technologies, increasing material efficiency, fabrication precision, and speed. However, many AM projects in academia and industrial institutions do not comply with building codes. Consequently, they are not considered safe structures for public utilization and have languished as exhibition prototypes. While three discrete scales—micro, mezzo, and macro—are investigated for AM with paste in this paper, structural integrity has been tackled on the mezzo scale to investigate the impact of process parameters on the bond strength between layers in an AM process. Real-world material deposition in a robotic-assisted AM process is subject to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, the load of upper layers, the pressure of the nozzle on printed layers, etc. Those factors add a secondary geometric characteristic to the printed objects that was missing in the initial digital model. This paper introduces a heuristic workflow for investigating the impacts of three selective process parameters on the bond strength between layers of paste in the robotic-assisted AM of large-scale structures. The workflow includes a method for adding the secondary geometrical characteristic to the initial 3D model by employing X-ray computerized tomography (CT) scanning, digital image processing, and 3D reconstruction. Ultimately, the proposed workflow offers a pattern library that can be used by an architect or artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in automated AM processes to create robust architectural forms.

summary What is the current state of human/material perception relative to advanced architectural technology? What sensory experiences are possible, and how are they designed and deployed? What happens when advanced HoloLens technologies are used in conjunction with wearable emotion-sensing technologies to connect people with deeper sensory experiences relative to materiality and space? Does this offer a heightened pedagogical perspective when teaching architecture? This paper responds to these questions by expanding on and critiquing a small scale digitally augmented project created in an academic setting. The project focuses on relationships between technology and human sensory experience relative to specific augmented and sensorial engagements. It employs an overlap of HoloLens technology to make and enhance the design experience and wearable emotion sensors to evaluate the human experience.
