summary This paper presents the current stage of a study examining the potential of complex geometry concrete tiles to improve thermal performance in building envelopes. This stage focused on developing tile geometries and testing them using physical and digital CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations. Tiles were developed taking two approaches: (i) developing variation from basic geometries (triangle, square, circle and trapezoid) and (ii) learning from natural envelopes. Following successful validation of experimental and numerical data, the designed tiles were tested using a digital simulation (Star-CCM+). The results show that for the examined configuration (flow perpendicular to the surface), a significant reduction of heat transfer rate occurs in most of the tested tiles. Furthermore, geometries that achieved the same thermal performance as the base-line flat tile saved up to 38 percent of the material.

summary This work presents a parametric development for Architecture by 3D printing, through robotic arms. It addresses a bio-mimetic design approach based on morphological features of animal beings, and develops a spectrum of design possibilities for vertical pieces. The measurements arising from the process extrusion and the possibilities of eccentricity of the manufacturing cord are exposed. As well as variables for design, like the own gravitational restrictions and vertical growth, both in morphological and constructive logic, as a search for relationships closer to the natural world. Suggesting that the new deposition construction systems call for an architecture based on biological principles.

summary We present an ongoing research project focused on the development of more efficient setups for cooperative multi-robot systems in 3D-printed construction. Early kinematic simulations of a mobile robotic cell prototype with two ceiling-mounted orbiting manipulators have provided new insights into 3D printing topology. An extrusion nozzle is mounted on each collaborative robot whose primary function is to match the extrusion path to the print contour while they move along a circular path. The challenge of setting up on site a semi-structured environment for cooperative multi-robot 3D printing led us to think up a new species of construction 3D printer.

summary In this experimental research project we report on the manufacturing process of the first full-size 3D printed concrete structure in our country. The house was 3D printed by an ABB IRB 6700 robot whose range we made fit with the requirements for transportation size and also, its range determined the size and geometry of the house. During the transformation process from sketch to code we involved students to apply computational design methods. We designed the main load bearing structure which had to be thinnest and lightest possible together with its insulation features and printability. We were aware of the world-wide research in this field started by NASA centennial Challenge called 3D-printed-habitat [Roman,2020] as well as start-ups derived from this research [1,2,3,4]. During the project, we investigated the following matters: (1) the relationship between geometry of the wall in model and in practice (2), setting of the robot and the mixture; and (3) stress test of the wall. With the results of the test we aimed at contribution to standardisation of 3D printed structures in ISO/ASTM 52939:2021. The finalized structure, named "Prvok", was made to prove printability of the mixture and stability of the design.

summary This paper addresses the development of parametric components based on BIM (Building Information Modeling) tools and their application for the teaching of architecture and urban designs, in a discipline focused on housing typology. As a didactic and research method, the use of industrialized building technologies in steel and precast concrete for production efficiency and low maintenance is associated with the idea of the studio as a laboratory for verification and experimentation. The system was improved for two years, and provided students with greater constructive control, basic feedback on the budget, and mastery of representation, while they investigated alternative design concepts and new components.

title Visualise Energy Saving Potentials in Settlement Development: By linking transport and energy simulation models for municipal planning

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.

title Modelling Precast Concrete for a Circular Economy in the Built Environment

doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.177
summary In recent years, there has been a growing interest in adopting circular approaches in the built environment, specifically reusing existing buildings or their components in new projects. To achieve this, drawings, laser scanning, photogrammetry and other techniques are used to capture data on buildings and their materials. Although previous studies have explored scan-to-BIM workflows, automation of 2D drawings to 3D models, and machine learning for identifying building components and materials, a significant gap remains in refining this data into the right level of information required for digital twins, to share information and for digital collaboration in designing for reuse. To address this gap, this paper proposes digital guidelines for reusing precast concrete based on the level of information need (LOIN) standard EN 17412-1:2020 and examines several CAD and BIM modelling strategies. These guidelines can be used to prepare digital templates that become digital twins of existing elements, develop information requirements for use cases, and facilitate data integration and sharing for a circular built environment.

title Simulation of kinetic envelope systems and their relation to increased thermal comfort - adaptive model in interior spaces Case of the Caribbean Region, Colombia
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. 569-576
summary In Colombia the last five years the average annual demand for air conditioning increased by 73%. One strategy to increase thermal comfort and reduce the use of cooling systems and energy consumption in buildings is the use of kinetic envelopes as an active response system to changes in the environment. However, there is little literature analyzing their performance and effects on buildings. This research analyses the operation of different envelope systems through digital modelling and simulation of environmental conditions. The aim is to generate a set of defined advantages in the use of kinetic envelopes for the context in the Caribbean region in Colombia.

summary This paper presents experimental and simulated façade thermal and humidity performance assessments concerning three (3) types of widely used façade systems in the Dominican construction market: 8” block wall, ventilated façade & curtain wall. Using indoor and outdoor temperature (/1T) and humidity differences (/1H) as indicators in order to compare said performances between the systems and, in turn, with environmental simulations approximating them, we try to diagnose weaknesses and foresee improvement avenues for sustainable façade systems in the Dominican context. The data was obtained by on-site measurements using eight (8) temperature and relative humidity sensors in a twelve (12) storey building in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

summary One of the major downsides of concrete construction is the difficulty to be adapted, modified and deconstructed. In this work, we look at the potential enabled by the use of Additive Formwork based on Fused Deposition Modelling, in order to design and manufacture structural elements which can be assembled and disassembled easily. We call this new typology of structures Circular Concrete Construction. The paper illustrates an integrated computational workflow, which encompasses design and fabrication. Technological aspects of the 3D printed formwork and its application in reversible node and strut connections are described, with reference to the material and structural aspects, as well as prototyping experiments. The work is a proof of concept that opens perspectives for a new type of reversible concrete construction.

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 This paper presents a novel human-machine collaborative approach to automatic quality-control of Glass-Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) molds directly on the factory floor. The framework introduces Industry 4.0 technologies to enhance the ability of skilled craftsmen to make molds through the provision of horizontal feedback regarding dimensional tolerances. Where digital tools are seldom used in the fabrication of GFRC molds, and expert craftsmen are not digital experts, our implementation of automated registration and feedback processes enables craftsmen to be integrated into and gain value from the digital production chain. In this paper, we describe the in-progress framework, Precision Partner, which connects 3d scanning and point cloud registration of geometrically complex and varied one off elements to factory floor dimensional feedback. We firstly introduce the production context of GFRC molds, as well as industry standards for production feedback. We then detail our methods, and report the results of a case study that tests the framework on the case of a balcony element.

summary The application of Additive Manufacturing in architecture is an emerging research trend. Most of the research focuses on large-scale concrete and clay printing and, however, overlooks Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), the most ubiquitous and inexpensive printing technology. Reasons for this include FFF’s reduced build volume, low mechanical resistance, and long printing times. In this research, the use of FFF for the construction of ornamental architectural surfaces is proposed, developed, and tested in a permanent, full-scale project. A discussion on the digital workflows, design, manufacturing, and assembly processes is presented, leading to a conclusion and outlook based on the evidence collected and highlighting the key advantages and main challenges of using FFF in architecture.

title LightWing II

summary LightWing II is an immersive XR installation that explores hybrid design strategies equally addressing physical and digital design parameters. The interactive project links a kinetic structure with dynamic digital information in the form of 3D projected imagery and spatial sound. A key component of the project was the development of a new rendering principle that allows the accurate projection of stereoscopic images on a moving target screen. Using simple red/cyan cardboard glasses, the system expands the applications of contemporary AR headsets beyond an isolated viewing towards a communal multi-viewer event. LightWing`s construction consists of thin flexible carbon fibre rods used to tension an almost invisible mesh screen. The structure is asymmetrically balanced on a single pin joint and monitored by an IMU. A light touch sets the delicate wing-like object into a rotational oscillation. As a ‘hands-on’ experience, LightWing II creates a mysterious sensation of tactile data and enables the user to navigate through holographic narratives assembled in four scenes, including the interaction with swarms of three winged creatures, being immersed in a silky bubble, and a journey through a velvet wormhole. The user interface is dissolved through the direct linkage between the physical construction and the dynamic digital content. The project was developed at the arc/sec Lab at the University of Auckland. The Lab explores user responsive constructions where dynamic properties of the virtual world influence the material world and vice versa. The Lab’s vision is to re-connect the intangible computer world to the multisensory qualities of architecture and urban spaces. With a focus on intuitive forms of user interaction, the arc/sec Lab uses large-scale prototypes and installations as the driving method for both the development and the demonstration of new cyber-physical design principles.

summary Improving speech intelligibility in classrooms enhances information dissemination, institutional knowledge capture, and quality of learning experience. While off-the-shelf solutions are available for acoustically retrofitting existing learning spaces, they do not allow for a fine-tuned context-specific intervention. However, this possibility is enabled through bespoke digital manufacturing informed by advanced digital simulations. In this research we explore and synchronize architecture, acoustics, computation, and fabrication for the making of better sound environments. We present performance-driven design-to-manufacture (DTM) workflows for sound-scattering brick elements. We reimagine the brick as an acoustically active geometry capable of modulating the sound experience in a university classroom by improving speech intelligibility. We contextualize our research within existing methods of digital performance-based design and robotic fabrication processes, namely wire cutting and pick-and-place applications. We then detail digital methods that combine heuristics and acoustic simulation to design the bricks within the 3D modeling environment, as well as describe the processes of robotic oscillating wire cutting and adaptive pick-and-place developed for the execution of the full-scale demonstrator. Finally, we report on the results of the acoustic analysis performed on the full-scale demonstrator in situ and laboratory measurements of a representative demonstrator which validates our design hypothesis.

summary This paper addresses the use of BIM for code verification and automatic validation of the Architectural Design of Airports (ADA). In Brazil, the evaluation and approval of ADA are carried out by INFRAERO. Currently, designs are evaluated manually, resulting in errors and long evaluation time. To deal with this problem, a conceptual framework for automated ADA assessment with Code Checking is proposed. The method used was Design Science Research, with the proposal of an artifact. The partial results show the importance of establishing protocols for BIM modeling, based on IFC as an important tool for automated assessment with code checking.

doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.127
summary An educational methodology is presented that introduces basic digital design concepts to first year design students. The methodology differentiates between four fields in design thinking namely Form, Function, Context, and Structure/Materiality and focuses on Structure/Materiality that is approached as an assemblage of components. Components are categorised in respect to their geometric and structural qualities with reference to the elements of 'point', 'line', 'surface' and 'volume'. Components are interconnected to corresponding design techniques that are used in order to compose complex forms and are outlined by a rule of composition. The primary technique of 'point' structures is based on the notion of multiplicity and repetition. 'Line' assemblages introduce to the concept of load bearing structures and they can effectively describe hierarchical associations. 'Surface' elements are used to explain the results of transformational processes upon structural behaviour. 'Volume' techniques refer to the notion of integration and directly affect the overall performance of the structure. For each one of these elements, the students are asked to work directly on physical assemblages with ready-made components which are chosen in respect to their structural characteristics and to describe explicitly the whole process in drawings and diagrams.
