title Application of the Sustainable Urban Environments model based on the Smart Outdoor approach in the city of Medellín
source SIGraDi 2020 [Proceedings of the 24th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Online Conference 18 - 20 November 2020, pp. 464-469
summary The quality of an urban space significantly influences the habitability of a city. In an era where buildings are becoming more and more "intelligent", outdoor space needs to evolve to make it more welcoming and to allow it to be shared and appropriate, capable of expanding opportunities and functionality for the inhabitant who lives in it. In this context the COGITO project, is exploring ways to extend the cognitive logic typical of intelligent buildings to the urban space. We propose to appropriate the model developed in COGITO and apply it in a case study of the city of Medellin.

title M-DAB - Towards re-using material resources of the city
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.1.127

summary If we strive for a de-carbonized future, we need to think of buildings within a city as resources that can be re-used rather than being disposed of. Together with considerations on refurbishment options and future building materials, this gives a decision field for stakeholders which depends on the current "building stock" - the set of pre-existing buildings which are characterized e.g. by building period, location and material composition. Changes in that context are hard to argue for since (1.) some depend on statistics, other (2.) on the concrete neighborhood and thus the space in which buildings are embedded, yet again others on (3.) future extrapolations again dealing with both of the aforementioned environments. To date, there exists no tool that can handle this back-and-forth between different abstraction levels and horizons in time; nor is it possible to pursue such an endeavor without a proper framework. Which is why the authors of this paper are aiming to provide one, giving a model of change in the context of re-using material resource of the city, when faced with numerous abstraction levels (spatial or abstract; past, current or future) which have feedback loops between them. The paper focuses on a concrete case study in the city of Vienna, however, chances are high that this will apply to every other building stock throughout the world if enough data is available. As a matter of fact, this approach will ensure that argumentation can happen on multiple levels (spatial, statistical, past, now and future) but keeps its focus on making the building stock of a city a resource for sustainable development.

title An Exploratory Urban Analysis via Big Data Approach: Eindhoven Case - Measuring popularity based on POIs, accessibility and perceptual quality parameters
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.309
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. 309-318
summary The cities are equipped with the data as a result of the individuals' sharings and application usage. This significant amount of data has the potential to reveal relations and support user-centric decision making. The focus of the research is to examine the relational factors of the neighborhoods' popularity by implementing a big data approach to contribute to the problem of urban areas' degradation. This paper presents an exploratory urban analysis for Eindhoven at the neighborhood level by considering variables of popularity: density and diversity of points of interest (POI), accessibility, and perceptual qualities. The multi-sourced data are composed of geotagged photos, the location and types of POIs, travel time data, and survey data. These different datasets are evaluated using BBN (Bayesian Belief Network) to understand the relationships between the parameters. The results showed a positive and relatively high connection between popularity - population change, accessibility by walk - density of POIs, and the feeling of safety - social cohesion. For further studies, this approach can contribute to the decision-making process in urban development, specifically in real estate and tourism development decisions to evaluate the land prices or the hot-spot touristic places.

title Virtual Reality as a Tool for Measuring Spatial Tendencies in Urban Experience
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.1.365
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. 365-374
summary Virtual reality (VR) enables the controlled acquisition of physical reality into the virtual environment. The virtual built environment stimulates people as physical urban experiences. Room-scale experience allows wandering around the urban space. The purpose of this study is to understand VR as a tool for measuring spatial tendencies of the individual through distance structuring (proxemics) in the virtual environment. According to the concept of proxemics, individuals interact with the built environment and people through personal, social, and public distances. The study provided a virtual space that was designed as a streetscape with a road and buildings along the way both sides. Users were immersed in the VR model for 10 minutes through navigating on the chosen route and recorded in the video. The objective was understanding how the architectural elements are related to proxemics tendencies. This study describes VR as a tool for understanding user tendencies through user spatial behavior.

title Indicators for Urban Green (IUG): Proposal for a Computational Implementation
source SIGraDi 2020 [Proceedings of the 24th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Online Conference 18 - 20 November 2020, pp. 983-990
summary Due to the reality of the constructive densification process at urban areas in disproportion to urban vegetation cover, the aim of this paper is to formulate two indicators for measuring vegetated density. A proportion between vegetated density and built density was proposed. In order to develop a system of computational tools, an algorithmic-parametric framework called Indicators for Urban Green (IUG) was implemented. The focus is on the internal validation of the IUG through testing hypothetical urban situations. The proposed method leans on the premise of contributing to quanti-qualitative studies focused on mitigating the impacts of anthropogenic action caused at the microclimatic scale of cities.

summary Renewed interest in cohousing solutions is driven by the rapid population growth and a lack of affordable housing in many cities across the world. The home share has become more prevalent in recent years due to the cost benefits and social gains it provides. While it involves challenges primarily concerned with the usage of communal areas, the viability of this housing model increases with the advancement of technology enabling new tools for analysis and optimisation of spatial usage. This paper introduces a method of sensor application in the occupancy analysis to provide grounding for future studies and the implementation of advanced computational methods. The study focuses on the underexplored potential of the communal spaces and provides a method for the measuring of specific aspects of their usage. The study applies principles of mathematical set theory, to give a more conclusive understanding of how communal areas are used, and therefore contributes to the improvement of housing design. Presented outcomes include an algorithmic chart and a blueprint of a behavioural model.

title Enriching the Parametric Vocabulary of Urban Landscapes - A framework for computer-aided performance evaluation of sustainable development design models
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.1.047
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. 47-56
summary Three decades past since the adoption of sustainability rating systems (SRS) by the Architecture Engineering and Construction industry (AEC) as standard methods for sustainable development evaluation. Nevertheless, these methods still suffer from a low adoption and implementation rate due to their manual, labor-intensive, expert dependent, and time-demanding process. The partial success of urban development evaluation puts forth the question: Are there faster, more accurate quantitative methods for advancing sustainability evaluation? The paper describes a prototype workflow for evaluating the performance of urban landscape design in a single digital workflow, based on ecological key indicator criteria. Grasshopper and Python parametric platforms were used to translate the criteria into quantitative spatial metrics. This study demonstrates optimized biomass measurement in two urban scales in line with the SITES rating system for landscape development: (XS) site development and (XL) neighborhood scale. The measured biomass density is used as a positive indication of ecosystem services capacity in the development site. The framework's quantitative workflow contributes to additional spatial feedbacks compared to the original numeric-based rating system method. Through these, composition and configuration metrics such as ecological connectivity, edge contrast, and patch shape can be visualized, measured, and compared. The metrics, which indicate performance characteristics of the design, generate new opportunities for data-rich sustainability evaluations of urban landscapes, using a single computer-aided workflow.

summary The worldwide lockdowns during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had an immense effect on the public space. The events brought up an opportunity to redesign mobility plans, streets, and sidewalks, making cities more resilient and adaptable. This paper builds on previous research of the authors that focused on the development of a graphene-based sensing material system applied to a smart pavement and utilized to obtain pedestrian spatiotemporal data. The necessary steps for gradual integration of the material system within the urban fabric are introduced as milestones toward predictive modeling and dynamic mobility reconfiguration. Based on the capacity of the smart pavement, the current research presents how data acquired through an agent-based pedestrian simulation is used to gain insight into mobility patterns. A range of maps representing pedestrian density, flow, and distancing are generated to visualize the simulated behavioral patterns. The methodology is used to identify areas with high density and, thus, high risk of transmitting airborne diseases. The insights gained are used to identify streets where additional space for pedestrians is needed to allow safe use of the public space. It is proposed that this is done by creating a dynamic mobility plan where temporal pedestrianization takes place at certain times of the day with minimal disruption of road traffic. Although this paper focuses mainly on the agent-based pedestrian simulation, the method can be used with real-time data acquired by the sensing material system for informed decision-making following otherwise-unpredictable pedestrian behavior. Finally, the simulated data is used within a predictive modeling framework to identify further steps for each agent; this is used as a proof-of-concept through which more insights can be gained with additional exploration.

summary In the early months of 2019, air pollution in Bangkok reached a record high, bringing national and international attention to the air quality in the South East Asian cosmopolitan. Although applications such as real-time pollution maps provide an environmental reading from the exterior, such information reveals the ‘here and now,’ where its record is inevitably lost through the ‘refreshing’ process of the live update and does not take increment and accumulation as factors to consider. The project was conceived around understanding the human body as precisely that medium that resists classification as either an interior or exterior environment that inherently performs as an impressionable record of its surroundings. Can a city’s toxicity be read through its living constituents? Can the living bodies that dwell, navigate, breathe, and process habitable environments be accessed? Can architecture retain a degree of independence while also performing as a beacon for the collective? Along this line of questioning, it was found that human hair can be transformed from a material that is effortlessly and continuously grown, cut, stylized, and discarded, and instead be intercepted and used in the production of public information gathering. Foll(i)cle is a collective being made of discarded human hair. Performing as a parliament for collectivity embedded with a protocol; the hairy pavilion invites the public in and presents them with a device at the center that hosts all the necessary equipment and information for anonymously and voluntarily providing hair samples for heavy metal analysis, the data of which is used in making a publically accessible toxi-cartography. Although humans are the primary subject for this study, the results suggest that extending the methodology to non-humans could prove useful in reading urban toxicity through various life forms.

summary As urbanization rapidly increases towards concerning levels, new methodologies and approaches are required to shape future cities. This research combines passive design approaches with building performance simulation in the same algorithmic description, to highlight the bidirectional impact of the building and the urban context in which it is inserted. To that end, the proposed workflow employs an algorithmic design tool along with validated analysis engines, to assess incident solar radiation and comfort metrics. We apply this methodology in a case study, exploring alternative building geometries to mitigate the consequences of uninformed design decisions in the environment. Results show that the application of passive design strategies can be done within early design stages, allowing a continuous workflow from project to construction while minimizing time and labour requirements regarding building efficiency.

summary The paper details computational mapping and modeling techniques from an ongoing design research project titled Irradiated Shade, which endeavors to develop and calibrate a computational toolset to uncover, represent, and design for the unseen dangers of ultraviolet radiation, a growing yet underexplored threat to cities, buildings, and the bodies that inhabit them. While increased shade in public spaces has been advocated as a strategy for “mitigation [of] climate change” (Kapelos and Patterson 2014), it is not a panacea to the threat. Even in apparent shade, the body is still exposed to harmful, ambient, or “scattered” UVB radiation. The study region is a binational metroplex, a territory in which significant atmospheric pollution and the effects of climate change (reduced cloud cover and more “still days” of stagnant air) amplify the “scatter” of ultraviolet wavelengths and UV exposure within shade, which exacerbates urban conditions of shade as an “index of inequality” (Bloch 2019) and threatens public health. Exposure to indirect radiation correlates to the amount of sky visible from the position of an observer (Gies and Mackay 2004). The overall size of a shade structure, as well as the design of openings along its sides, can greatly impact the UV protection factor (UPF) (Turnbull and Parisi 2005). Shade, therefore, is more complex than ubiquitous urban and architectural “sun” and “shadow studies” are capable of representing, as such analyses flatten the three-dimensional nature of radiation exposure and are “blind” to the ultraviolet spectrum. “Safe shade” is contingent on the nuances of the surrounding built environment, and designers must be empowered to observe and respond to a wider context than current representational tools allow.

title Post-conflict reconstruction in the Middle East and North Africa region: A bidirectional parametric urban design approach
source International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 18 - no. 3, 296-313
summary Post-conflict reconstruction is a major topic in war-torn cities in the Middle East and North Africa region. Rather than being limited to re-establishing pre-conflict conditions, new formats of urban settings may be adopted, both for the design and quality of urban space, as well as for the design and building process. This article proposes a combined top-down and bottom-up design approach, supported by parametric urban design modelling. As sustainable (re-)development of the urban-scape requires coordination across different scales, a top-down approach is partly needed for reasons of coordination. As participatory design processes involving local stakeholders work from the partial to the whole, a bottom-up approach is partly needed for reasons of inclusion. By means of a parametric urban model combining both overview and detail, the two approaches can be combined. This article shows the theoretical framework and, by way of example, applies the model to Fallujah in Iraq as a case study.

summary The building and its urban environment are complex and dynamic data systems. Designers, who make design decisions, need the design tools to simulate the built environment, to estimate the feasibility of the design. However, the static modeling software, widely used nowadays, restricts the linkage relationship between the actual data environment and the simulation model, which lacks the dynamic constraint relationship and the construction of the loop order. Different from traditional modeling and analysis tools, simulation games, with dynamic constraint rules and real-time feedback operations, provide a new way of thinking and a perspective to observe the urban, which makes the simulation game be seen as a simplified analog system, to some extent. Therefore, this paper plan to builds a city model, based on an urban design project of an urban district of Nanjing as an example, by using the Cities: Skylines, a city simulation game with priority of traffic and zoning concept. Based on this dynamic model, the next step will evaluate the original project and carry out further optimization operations in real-time.

summary Urban morphology significantly impacts resident's well-being. This study examines the impact of urban environments on the sense of well-being, using virtual reality as a research environment. Most of the world's population already live in urban localities; and it is expected that in two decades, more than 70% of the total population of the planet will be city dwellers(UN 2018). This study examines the impact of various urban configurations on dwellers well-being. Participants were presented with simulated pedestrian movement through 24 virtual urban environments. The environments differed by density level, spatial configurations, vegetation, and commerce. Participants assessed each alternative through structured questionnaires. It has been found that the density and presence of vegetation and commerce in the urban area have a significant impact on the subject's well-being in urban environments. extreme levels of densification have a negative effect on subjects' feelings, but vegetation and commerce, especially at the high levels of density, can improve them. In this research we established the framework for planning principles that can improve urban densification processes. An understanding of the wellbeing of urban dwellers, and the parameters that can influence this, will help urban designers and planners in creating better urbanized future environments.

summary Social indicators are fundamental tools for measuring social facts, and their use has the potential to facilitate broad access to information. In 2020, the World experienced the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic, which impacted the socio-spatial reality of cities around the world in several aspects and deepened social inequalities. As part of a coping Covid-19 project by ArqPET, the Somar Platform, this paper presents a mapping process of the spread of Covid-19 in Fortaleza during the four months after its arrival. The mapping, which aims to inform public policies and provides documents that support the demand for adequate housing and sanitary infrastructure in the neglected spaces of the city, relates the spread of the virus to social indicators and uses database technology to optimize its productions.

summary This paper presents a deep learning approach to measuring brand store image and generating positioning maps. The rise of signature brand stores can be explained in terms of brand identity. Store design and architecture have been highlighted as effective communicators of brand identity and position but, in terms of spatial environment, have been studied solely using qualitative approaches. This study adopted a deep learning-based image classification model as an alternative methodology for measuring brand image and positioning, which are conventionally considered highly subjective. The results demonstrate that a consistent, coherent, and strong brand identity can be trained and recognized using deep learning technology. A brand positioning map can also be created based on predicted scores derived by deep learning. This paper also suggests wider uses for this approach to branding and architectural design.

summary Magnesium alloys have an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and can be manufactured with a lower environmental impact. Although its application is attractive for wheelchair design, it is little explored. As a result of this work, an all-terrain wheelchair was designed, exhibiting a weight reduction of 32% compared to commercial products. Users performed usability tests, to evaluate the improvements achieved. This wheelchair can contribute to improving their quality of life, allowing users to save energy and preserve the health of their upper limbs. Finally, an impact was achieved in the local industry, developing capacities to manufacture products in these alloys.

summary The research presented in this paper investigates the development of "3D printed ceramic green wall", a technological Nature Based Solution (NBS) aimed at regenerating urban areas by improving spatial quality and sustainability through clean and autonomous energy production. Building upon previous research, the challenge of this system is to adapt additive manufacturing processes of ceramic 3D printing with biophotovoltaic systems while simultaneously developing digital and cyber-physical frameworks to generate site and user responsive design and autonomous solutions that optimize system performance and energy generation. The paper explores the complex design negotiations between these drivers, focusing particularly on their performance optimization, and finally highlights the system potential as exemplified through a successful implementation of a 1:1 site responsive wall prototype.
