title	Augmented Reality-based Collaboration - ARgan, a bamboo art installation case study
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.2.313

summary	ARgan is a geometrically complex bamboo sculpture that relied on Mixed Reality (MR) for its joint creation by multiple sculptors and used latest Augmented Reality (AR) technology to guide manual fabrication actions. It was built at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the fall of 2019 by thirty participants of a design-and-build workshop on the integration of AR in construction. As part of its construction workflow, holographic setups were created on multiple devices, including a series of Microsoft HoloLenses and several handheld Smartphones, all linked simultaneously to a single digital base model to interactively guide the manufacturing process. This paper critically evaluates the experience of extending recent AR and MR tool developments towards applications that centre on creative collaborative production. Using ARgan as a demonstrator project, its developed workflow is assessed on its ability to transform a geometrically complex digitally drafted design to its final physically built form, highlighting the necessary strategic integration of variability as an opportunity to relax notions on design precision and exact control. The paper concludes with a plea for digital technology's ability to stimulate dialogue and collaboration in creative production and augment craftsmanship, thus providing greater agency and more diverse design output.

title	Generation of Public Space Structure Based on Digital Multi-agent System - Taking the interaction between self-consensus "Stigmergy" particles and the old city area as an example
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.1.285
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. 285-294
summary	In the study, the ant colony behavior was simulated to establish a parametric multi-agent system with independent consensus "Stigmergy" for interaction with the site. In the experiment, the initial points of the particles correspond to the key historical buildings, and the target points correspond to the important public space nodes. Edit and adjust the motion characteristics, search features, generation and disappearance characteristics of the simulated particles to obtain the main consensus particle swarm distribution and the distributed consensus particle swarm distribution. This form has a compliant or conflicting relationship with the existing urban environment. Using the contours of the self-consensus spatial form, the particle swarm density, and the pointing relationship between the particles and the building can provide a basis for the transformation and renewal of the existing urban environment, thus forming a spatial transformation strategy that more closely matches the user behavior in the space.

title	The Augmented Museum - A Machinic Experience with Deep Learning
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.2.639

summary	Today we witness a shift in the role with which museum used to play -- from one that was simply a spatial container filled with physical artworks on display, to one that is now layered with the digital/online version of the artworks themselves. Deep learning algorithms have become an important means to process such large datasets of digital artworks in providing an alternative curatorial practice (biased/unbiased), and consequentially, augmenting the navigation of the museum's physical spaces. In collaboration with a selection of museums, a series of web/mobile applications have been made to investigate the potential of such machinic inference, as well as interference of the physical experience.

title	Optimization of Public Space Design Based on Reconstruction of Digital Multi-Agent Behavior - --Taking the public space of the North Bund in Shanghai as an example
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.1.335
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. 335-344
summary	This paper uses the digital software platform to build an intelligent multi-agent system. Through the classification of site elements, the Shanghai North Bund waterfront public space elements are classified into different systems such as transportation hub facilities, catering facilities, shopping facilities and leisure venues. The main population activities in this area are classified into different activities such as youth activities, elderly activities, and family activities through user behavior classification. Finally, the intelligent multi-agent particle swarm is built by the dynamic simulation component of grasshopper, and its individual behavior rules and group interaction rules are adjusted to form the crowd moving particle flow. The particle flow interacts with the classified site elements to derive a distribution pattern of population activity in different systems. Particle flow data information and particle distribution patterns after interactive simulation can be the support for urban design evaluation and optimization.

title	Encouraging Community Participation in Design Decision-making through Reactive Scripting - a general framework tested in the smart villages context
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.2.051
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 2, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, 5-6 August 2020, pp. 51-60
summary	In governmental decision-making, centralised experts spending a society's resources benefit from the guidance of community participation, yet the most effective participation by individuals distributed throughout a community often relies on expert guidance. This co-dependency of centralised and distributed knowledge is a critical weakness in contexts, such as developing rural communities, in which opportunities for in-field expert engagement are limited. This paper proposes a novel computational framework to break this deadlock by taking into the field responsive expertise digitally encapsulated within accessible built environment simulations. The framework is predicated in reactive scripting for design apps that invite a citizen user to progress a model towards their ideal design by prompts that highlight exceptional, contradictory, mutually exclusive, or simply underwhelming outcomes or branching decisions. The app simulations provide a gamified context of play in which goals are not prescriptively encoded but instead arise out of the social and community context. The detailed framework, presented together with a proof of concept smart villages app that is described along with an integration and feasibility test with positive results, provides a model for better participatory decision-making outcomes in the face of limited availability of expertise.

title	The Association Study Between Residential Building Interface and Perceived Density based on VR Technology - Taking 2 Enclosed Residential Districts of Guangzhou as Examples
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.1.711
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. 711-720
summary	As urban development enters the stock increment era , the demand of environmental quality in urban residential districts gradually improves, making the construction of livable residential environment an important direction of urban development. The improvement of livable environment is the inevitable result of this process and perceived density is an indispensable and important part. Among the statistical methods, preference study is the most commonly one to explore the subjective factors affecting preference. The experience of immersive virtual environment can provide a more appropriate analytical method better for traditional image selection. Different permeability of architectural interface has significant influences on the perception of space comfortability, crowding and fascination. In this paper, two existing enclosed residential districts are selected for case study. The factors closely related to perceived density, such as solid Wall, grille, glass, open space, greening, etc, are selected by using immersive virtual technology. Through the interviewees' evaluations of perceived density of the virtual environment, the relationship between building interface and the perceived density of the residential area will be established.

title	Prototype As Artefact
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2020.1.350
source	ACADIA 2020: Distributed Proximities / Volume I: Technical Papers [Proceedings of the 40th Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-578-95213-0].

summary	In digital design-to-fabrication workflows in architecture, in which digitally controlled machines perform complex fabrication tasks, all design decisions are typically made before production. In such processes, the formal definition of the final shape is explicitly inscribed into the design model by means of corresponding step-by-step machine instructions. The increasing use of augmented reality (AR) technologies for digital fabrication workflows, in which people are instructed to carry out complex fabrication tasks via AR interfaces, creates an opportunity to question and adjust the level of detail and the nature of such explicit formal definitions. People’s cognitive abilities could be leveraged to integrate explicit machine intelligence with implicit human knowledge and creativity, and thus to open up digital fabrication to intuitive and spontaneous design decisions during the building process. To address this question, this paper introduces open-ended Prototype-as-Artefact fabrication workflows that examine the possibilities of designing and creative choices while building in a human-robot collaborative setting. It describes the collaborative assembly of a complex timber structure with alternating building actions by two people and a collaborative robot, interfacing via a mobile device with object tracking and AR visualization functions. The spatial timber assembly being constructed follows a predefined grammar but is not planned at the beginning of the process; it is instead designed during fabrication. Prototype-as-Artefact thus serves as a case study to probe the potential of both intuitive and rational aspects of building and to create new collaborative work processes between humans and machines.

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	User-driven Configurable Architectural Assemblies - Towards artificial intelligence-embedded responsive environments
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.483
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. 483-490
summary	The paper theoretically elaborates the idea of individual users' customisation activities to create and configure responsive spatial scenarios by means of reconfigurable interactive adaptive assemblies. It reflects Gordon Pask's concept of human and device interaction based on its unpredictable notion speculating a potential to be enhanced by artificial intelligence learning approach of an assembly linked with human activator's participative inputs. Such a link of artificial intelligence, human agency and interactive assembly capable to generate its own spatial configurations by itself and users' stimuli may lead to a new understanding of humans' role in the creation of spatial scenarios. The occupants take the prime role in the evolution of spatial conditions in this respect. The paper aims to position an interaction between the human agents and artificial devices as a participatory and responsive design act to facilitate creative potential of participants as unique individuals without pre-specified or pre-programmed goal set by the designer. Such an approach will pave a way towards true autonomy of responsive built environments, determined by an individual human agent and behaviour of the spatial assemblies to create authentic responsive built forms in a digital and physical space.

title	Managing Risk in a Research-Based Practice as Projects Scale To Construction:A Case Study
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.1.065
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. 65-74
summary	Research-based architectural practices often experiment along the bleeding edge of the new frontier of design and include developing methodologies unfamiliar to the construction industry. Successfully implementing the resulting research methodologies to an architectural scale requires careful consideration of risk management within a Design-Bid-Build construction project. How a firm manages the risk when scaling a research conclusion to an architectural scale is an essential aspect of assuring the success of the project. These considerations are particularly acute within firms whose research involves convoluted geometry. In the field of doubly-curved geometric material systems, the level of precision required to manage professional risk is commensurate with the level of geometric complexity. Adopting the mindset of a Medieval master mason's process within the context of twenty-first-century materials and processes can be a method toward a successful project. By performing well thought-out transfer procedures of digital data, resolving the fundamental challenges of fabrication, and including structural analysis as a part of the early design phases, experimental architectural expressions can be realized without extra financial risk to the designer.

summary	Due to constant technological developments, society’s priorities and cultural perspectives have changed, requiring a redefinition of experiences in education. In the field of architecture teaching, the transition from CAD (Computer-Aided Design) to the design systems in other digital media, such as the parametric design, can be observed. This article aims to demonstrate two analog-digital experiences in an architecture school. The methodology consisted of dividing the activities into three stages: analog, logical, and digital. The results are described through quantitative and qualitative data acquired in the experiences. The data allowed toreflect on the strategies adopted, lessons learned, and futures challenges.

title	Design and 3D Printing Methodologies for Cellulose-based Composite Materials
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.1.547

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.

title	Sensing the Diversity of Social Hubs through Social Media

summary	As we continue to discover the potential of social media data as an insightful source for academic research, the majority of previous work tends to focus on the density of socio-spatial relations as the foundation for understanding urban phenomena. This paper extended those approaches by introducing the concepts of diversity and inclusiveness through an investigation of the 'differences' within the networks of relations that are inherent to social media data. The author constructs a diversity measure based on the variety of home locations of social media user visitors to each geographical location in the city. This home location, in its turn, is derived from each user's digital spatio-temporal footprint. This proposed method demonstrates that through the visualization of this diversity measure, 'social hubs' (which are frequently visited by different groups of people) were able to be located that would otherwise be overlooked in conventional data analyses that focus only on density. As such, this research expands the usefulness of social media as a practical tool to help understand urban processes by making the concept of diversity - a key consideration in many planning and design contexts - measurable and mappable.

summary	The paper exemplifies possible traces of transition towards Post-Anthropocene that is envisioned as non-hierachical system. It is taking Morton's discussion on 'hyperobjectivity' further into multi-layered codesign performed in real time and real life across bio-digital agents, including humans. Though our planet might be recently experiencing drastic times and one catastrophic scenario follows the other, a natural succession often comes after most disasters.

title	Discrete Continuity in the Urban Architectures of H. Hara & K. Kuma

Online and Global. 24-30 October 2020. edited by B. Slocum, V. Ago, S. Doyle, A. Marcus, M. Yablonina, and M. del Campo. 416-424.
summary	The 2020 pandemic has laid bare the ambiguous value of the virtual proximity that distributed computing enables. The remote interaction it ushered in at an unprecedented scale also spawned social isolation, which is symbolically underscored by the reliance of this form of connectivity on individuals’ discrete digital identification. This cyber-spatial dualism may be called ‘discrete continuity,’ and it already appeared in architectural thought in the 1960s with the advent of cybernetics and the first computers. The duality resurfaced in the 1990s in virtual projects, when architectural software was first widely commercialized, and it reappeared in built form in the past decade. This paper sheds light on the architectural aspects of this conceptual duality by identifying the use of discreteness and continuity in the theories of two Japanese architects, Hiroshi Hara (b.1936) and his former student, Kengo Kuma (b.1954), in their attempts to combine the two topological conditions as metaphors of societal structures. They demonstrate that the onset of the current condition, while new in its pervasiveness, has been latent in architectural thinking for several decades. This paper examines Hara’s and Kuma’s theories in light of the author’s interviews with the architects, their writings, and specific projects that illustrate metaphoric translations of topological terms into social structures, reflected in turn in the organization of urban schemes and building parts. While Hara’s and Kuma’s respective implementations are poles apart visually and materially, they share the idea that the discrete continuity of contemporary urban experience ought to be reflected in architecture. This link between their ideas has previously been overlooked.

summary	In the contemporary changing world, digital architecture is to bring us new horizons and opportunities to take a determining step toward future. It results in speed and precision in process of design and construction. Moreover, the world is shifting to smartness. This paper is to develop a comprehensive mechanism to design an innovative canopy inspired from nature. Therefore, the canopy is going to inspire from young sunflowers. The canopy consists of a multi-functional waffle-frame. The main wing of the platform structure can have alternative utilization and the amount of light passing through it can be adjusted by using shade on the waffle spaces. Solar panels can also be used on the frames conductive to supply the energy independently. This HelioPhilia canopy always seeking the daylight, therefore, it cast a shadow behind itself to provide much more comfortable environment for whom choose there to be inside as a user. The results emphasize on the role of learning from nature in successful digital design process.

title	Dance with Shadows - Capturing tacit knowledge with smart device augmented reality (SDAR)
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.165
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. 165-172
summary	Tacit knowledge has been notified with its involvement in the creative and innovative process of design. However, it has been an elusive subject due to its difficulty to be articulated, recorded, and communicated. Augmented Reality (AR) is introduced as an affordable, accessible, and collaborative way to revisit tacit knowledge in the design process. In this paper, a computational design approach with Smart Device Augmented Reality (SDAR) is proposed for a real-time fenestration design in a targeted room. In comparison to standard methods of showcasing daylighting metrics, the use of Smart Device Augmented Reality (SDAR) is an alternative method as it delivers a dynamic experience by combining both the real and digital environments, enabling the visualization of the design in its intended site context with real-time feedback. The implementation of the proposed approach is explained and the design process with SDAR is also demonstrated in this paper.

summary	Elementary robotics mechanisms based on the effective crank–slider and four–bar kinematics methods have been applied in the past to develop architectural concepts of reconfigurable structures of planar rigid-bar linkages (Phocas et al., 2020; Phocas et al., 2019). The applications referred to planar structural systems interconnected in parallel to provide reconfigurable buildings with rectangular plan section. In enabling structural reconfigurability attributes within the spatial circular section buildings domain, a vertical setup of the basic crank–slider mechanism is proposed in the current paper. The kinematics mechanism is integrated on a column placed at the middle of an axisymmetric circular shaped spatial linkage structure. The definition of target case shapes of the structure is based on a series of numerical geometric analyses that consider certain architectural and construction criteria (i.e., number of structural members, length, system height, span, erectability etc.), as well as structural objectives (i.e., structural behavior improvement against predominant environmental actions) aiming to meet diverse operational requirements and lightweight construction. Computer-aided algorithmic modelling is used to analyze the system's kinematics, in order to provide a solid foundation and enable rapid adaptation for mechanisms that exhibit controlled reconfigurations. The analysis demonstrates the implementation of digital parametric design tools for the investigation of the kinematics of the system at a preliminary design stage, in avoiding thus time-demanding numerical analysis processes. The design process may further provide enhanced interdisciplinary performance-based design outcomes.

summary	This practice-led research lies at the intersection of design, craft, materials science, and biology. Inspired by the responsive mechanism of plant’s biological actuators, and Nature's outstanding capacity of attaining maximal performances while using minimum resources. This thesis explores how to achieve a higher level of integration between the generation of form and behavior with its materialization and fabrication.This research proposes to endow a conventional laminar elastic material with unconventional behavior. Taking as inspiration plants biological actuators, which allows them to sense and adapt according to different environmental stimuli. We explored, developed, and fabricated a range of cellular structures (and in particular auxetics) that have out of the plane shape morphing capabilities, displaying a distinctive behavior in response to a design pattern (spatial cell arrangement) and an actuating force.The final design is a material/geometry-based actuator with reversible behavior, an active material with integrated tunable and responsive capacity which provides the capabilities to sense, adapt and respond to external stimuli within the structure of the material.
