summary	Deep learning is expected to offer new opportunities and a new paradigm for the field of architecture. One such opportunity is teaching neural networks to visually understand architectural elements from the built environment. However, the availability of large training datasets is one of the biggest limitations of neural networks. Also, the vast majority of training data for visual recognition tasks is annotated by humans. In order to resolve this bottleneck, we present a concept of a hybrid system—using both building information modeling (BIM) and hyperrealistic (photorealistic) rendering—to synthesize datasets for training a neural network for building object recognition in photos. For generating our training dataset, BIMrAI, we used an existing BIM model and a corresponding photorealistically rendered model of the same building. We created methods for using renderings to train a deep learning model, trained a generative adversarial network (GAN) model using these methods, and tested the output model on real-world photos. For the specific case study presented in this paper, our results show that a neural network trained with synthetic data (i.e., photorealistic renderings and BIM-based semantic labels) can be used to identify building objects from photos without using photos in the training data. Future work can enhance the presented methods using available BIM models and renderings for more generalized mapping and description of photographed built environments.

title	Computational Tools in Architecture and Their Genesis: The Development of Agent-based Models in Spatial Design

summary	Based on the assumption that socio-technical networks of computation in architecture exist and must be analyzed deeper in order to understand the impact of algorithmic tools on the design process, the present paper offers a foray into it, drawing on science studies methodologies. The research explores in what regard multi-agent systems (MAS) are representative as much from the existence of these socio-technical networks as of how their development influences the tension between tacit and explicit knowledge at play in procedural design processes and of the strategies architectural designers develop to resolve this tension. A methodology of analysis of these phenomena is provided as well as results of the application of this method to MAS, leading to a better understanding of their development and impact in CAAD in the past two decades. Tactics of resolution shaped by early MAS users enable, through a double appropriation, a skillful implementation of architectural practice. Furthermore, their approach partially circumvents the establishment of technical biases tied to this algorithmic typology, at the cost of a lesser massive democratization of the algorithmic tools developed in relation to it.

title	A Biofeedback Process: Detecting Architectural Space with the Integration of Emotion Recognition and Eye-tracking Technology
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.2.263
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. 263-272
summary	This paper coincides with the conference theme that people have gradually become a vital force influencing the environmental system. In the future, it is necessary to study the influence of not only the built environment on people but also people's feedback on environmental design. This study explores the â€Žprocesses of interactive design using both emotion recognition and eye-tracking of users. By putting on wearable devices to roam and perceive in a virtual reality space, the physiological data of the users are collected in real-time and used to analyze their emotional responses and visual attention to the spaces. This method will provide an auxiliary way for non-architectural professional users to participate in architectural space design. At present, there is a lack of research on the comprehensive application of eye movement knowledge and emotional feedback in architectural space design. This integration will help professional designers to optimize the design of architectural space. For this paper, we review existing research and proposing an interactive design workflow that integrates eye tracking and emotion recognition. This workflow will help with the next stage of research to understand the design of a new International School of Design building.

title	Exhibiting Digital Heritage - The Curation of Un-Mediated Experiences in Museums
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.2.193

summary	The aim of this paper is to examine how a museum exhibition can allow barrier-free access and engagement of visitors. This paper will discuss Immersive Legacies, an exhibition that presented the digital documentation and virtual representations of a significant heritage building, both physically and in virtual reality. Through the examination of the exhibition, Immersive Legacies and its broader museological context, this paper will discuss the emergence of these technologies in museums and its relation to the Anthropocene epoch. In an age of rapid advancement and destruction, it becomes essential to preserve heritage sites, architecture and cultural objects. Furthermore, connection and communication were, and continue to be facilitated by the technologies that began in the Anthropocene epoch. As a result of this era, heritage can be experienced anytime and anywhere, although it remains vital for citizens to have the opportunity to experience it in museums. In turn, this paper will examine how these technologies can be to help citizens understand and engage with heritage and the past in museums - now and in the future.

title	Solidarity through difference: Speculative participatory serious urban gaming (SPS-UG)
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 18 - no. 2, 141-154
summary	This article discusses the methodology and results of the Maslow’s Palace workshops project, which engages with current debates surrounding the democratisation of digital urban design technology and stakeholder decision making, through the implementation of a speculative oriented approach to serious gaming. The research explores how serious games might be used to help marginalised communities consider past, future and present community experiences, reconcile dissimilar assumptions, generate social capital building and design responses and prime participants for further long-term design engagement processes through a new approach called Speculative Participatory Serious Urban Gaming. Empirical material for this research was gathered from a range of case study workshops prepared with three landfill-based communities and external partners throughout 2017. Results show the approach helped participants develop shared norms, values and collective understandings of sensitive topics and develop ideas for future action through ‘collective tinkering.

summary	This paper takes the 25th anniversary conference of CAADRIA as an opportunity to reflect on the association as well as the changing landscape of CAAD research in Asia. Following a discussion of CAADRIA and its organisational structures and procedures, the paper analyses and reflects on past and current developments of our research community. To this end, CAADRIA publication keywords are examined to visually map the development of the association since such keywords started to be recorded consistently 12 years ago. The paper calls for a revived critical discourse on fundamental questions of our field in general, and some disconnects between CAADRIA's mission and its current direction in particular. It concludes with a discussion of potential directions for CAADRIA for the coming 25 years.

title	What About Humans? Artificial Intelligence in Architecture
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-6568-7_2
source	Architectural Intelligence Selected Papers from the 1st International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2019)
summary	Artificial intelligence is about to reshape the architectural discipline. After discussing the relations between artificial intelligence and the broader question of automation in architecture, this article focuses on the future of the interaction between humans and intelligent machines. The way machines will understand architecture may be very different from the reading of humans. Since the Renaissance, the architectural discipline has defined itself as a conversation between different stakeholders, the designer, but also the clients and the artisans in charge of the realization of projects. How can this conversation be adapted to the rise of intelligent machines? Such a question is not only a matter of design effectiveness. It is inseparable from expressive and artistic issues. Just like the fascination of modernist architecture for industrialization was intimately linked to the quest for a new poetics of the discipline, our contemporary interest for artificial intelligence has to do with questions regarding the creative core of the architectural discipline.

summary	This paper presents findings of a survey conducted to assess students’ experiences within the online instruction stage of their architectural education during the lockdown period caused by the COVID-19 pandemic between March and June 2020. The study was conducted in two departments of architecture in both Cairo branches of the Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT), Egypt, with special focus on courses involving a CAAD component. The objective of this exploratory study was to understand students’ learning experiences within the online period, and to investigate challenges facing architectural education. A mixed methods study was used, where a questionnaire-based survey was developed to gather qualitative and quantitative data based on the opinions of a sample of students from both departments. Findings focus on the qualitative component to describe students’ experiences, with quantitative data used for triangulation purposes. Results underline students’ positive learning experiences and challenges faced. Insights regarding digital tool preferences were also revealed. Findings are not only significant in understanding an important event that caused remote architectural education in Egypt but may also serve as an important stepping-stone towards the future of design education in light of newly-introduced disruptive online learning technologies made necessary in response to lockdowns worldwide

title	Making a New City Image
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2020.1.658
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]. Online and Global. 24-30 October 2020. edited by B. Slocum, V. Ago, S. Doyle, A. Marcus, M. Yablonina, and M. del Campo. 658-667.
summary	This paper explores the application of computer vision and machine learning to streetlevel imagery of cities, reevaluating past theory linking urban form to human perception. This paper further proposes a new method for design based on the resulting model, where a designer can identify areas of a city tied to certain perceptual qualities and generate speculative street scenes optimized for their predicted saliency on labels of human experience. This work extends Kevin Lynch’s Image of the City with deep learning: training an image classification model to recognize Lynch’s five elements of the city image, using Lynch’s original photographs and diagrams of Boston to construct labeled training data alongside new imagery of the same locations. This new city image revitalizes past attempts to quantify the human perception of urban form and improve urban design. A designer can search and map the data set to understand spatial opportunities and predict the quality of imagined designs through a dynamic process of collage, model inference, and adaptation. Within a larger practice of design, this work suggests that the curation of archival records, computer science techniques, and theoretical principles of urbanism might be integrated into a single craft. With a new city image, designers might “see” at the scale of the city, as well as focus on the texture, color, and details of urban life.

title	A Co-existing Interactive Approach to Digital Fabrication Workflow

summary	In recent years, digital fabrication projects have explored how to best present complex spatial patterns. These patterns are generated by a series of function clusters and need to be separated into reasonable working sequences for workers. In the stage between design and fabrication, designers and workers typically spend considerable time communicating with each other and prototyping models in order to understand the complex geometry and joint methods of fabrication works. Through the potential of mixed reality technology, this paper proposes a novel form of co-existing interactive workflow that helps designers understand the morphing status of material composition and assists workers in achieving desired results. We establish this co-existing workflow mechanism as an interface between design and reality that includes a HoloLens display, a parametric algorithm, and gesture control identification. This paper challenges the flexibility between the virtual and reality and the interaction between precise parameters and natural gestures within an automation process.

source	Proceedings of the 2020 DigitalFUTURES The 2nd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2020)
summary	This paper examines the role of computational simulation of material processes with robotics fabrication, with the intent of examining its implications for architectural design and construction. Simulation techniques have been adopted in the automotive industry amongst others, advancing their design and manufacturing outputs. At present, architecture is yet to explore the full potential of this technology and their techniques. The need for simulation is evident in exploring the behaviours of materials and their relative properties. Currently, there is a distinct disconnect between the virtual model and its fabricated counterpart. Through research in simulation, we can begin to understand and clearly visualize the relationship between material behaviours and properties that can lead to a closer correlation between the digital design and its fabricated outcome. As the first phase of investigation, the material of clay is used due to its volatile qualities embedded within the material behaviour. The input geometry is constrained to rudimentary extruded forms in order to not obscure the behaviour of the material, but rather allow for it to drive the machine-making process.

summary	While the theoretical possibilities and implications of interactive architecture are promising, much still is unknown how these can be practically translated towards purposeful deployments. To understand the true dynamic qualities of interactive architecture, the only method is experiencing its hedonic qualities firsthand. To this end, working prototypes need to be realised and their actual impact measured. In this paper, we compare two potential experimental strategies for interactive architecture prototype evaluation, as we benchmark the conceptual, technological and methodological differences between a life-size, physical prototype and an immersive virtual reality simulation. By presenting the preliminary findings of each strategy, we discuss how their unique strengths and weaknesses could complement each other in future research endeavours.

title	An Architecture for Cyborg Super-Society
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-6568-7_3
source	Architectural Intelligence Selected Papers from the 1st International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2020)
summary	This paper embraces the future-open, anti-humanist sensibility of cyborgism from a societal perspective and locates the origin of the ongoing historical transformation of human identities and ways of life in the technology-induced transformation of societal communication dynamics. The evolution of language, and later of writing systems, is identified as crucial empowering engines of human productive cooperation and cultural evolution. Equally crucial for collective human selftransformation is the ever-evolving construction of artificial environments. Built environments are as much a human universal as language and all societal evolution depends on them as frames within which an increasingly complex social order can emerge and evolve. They constitute an indispensable material substrate of societal evolution. These built environments do not only function as physical ordering channels but also operate as information-rich spatio-visual languages, as a form of writing. This insight opens up the project of architectural semiology as task to radically upgrade the communicative capacity of the built environment via deliberate design efforts that understand the design of built environments primarily as the design of an eloquent text formulated by an expressive architectural language. The paper ends with a critical description of a recent academic design research project illustrating how such a semiological project can be conceived. Extrapolating from this leads the authors to speculate about a potentially far-reaching, new medium of communication and means of societal integration, facilitating a ‘cyborg super-society’.

summary	In this paper, I present the commercial, urban-scale gunshot detection system ShotSpotter in contrast with a range of ecological sensing examples which monitor animal vocalizations. Gunshot detection sensors are used to alert law enforcement that a gunshot has occurred and to collect evidence. They are intertwined with processes of criminalization, in which the individual, rather than the collective, is targeted for punishment. Ecological sensors are used as a “passive” practice of information gathering which seeks to understand the health of a given ecosystem through monitoring population demographics, and to document the collective harms of anthropogenic change (Stowell and Sueur 2020). In both examples, the ability of sensing infrastructures to “join up and speed up” (Gabrys 2019, 1) is increasing with the use of machine learning to identify patterns and objects: a new form of expertise through which the differential agendas of these systems are implemented and made visible. I trace the differential agendas of these systems as they manifest through varied components: the spatial distribution of hardware in the existing urban environment and / or landscape; the software and other informational processes that organize and translate the data; the visualization of acoustical sensing data; the commercial factors surrounding the production of material components; and the apps, platforms, and other forms of media through which information is made available to different stakeholders. I take an interpretive and qualitative approach to the analysis of these systems as cultural artifacts (Winner 1980), to demonstrate how the political and social stakes of the technology are embedded throughout them.

title	Computational Design Sustainability: A Conceptual Framework for Built Environment Research
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.1.219

summary	This paper presents and demonstrates a "Computational Design Sustainability" (CDS) framework, inspired by "Computational Sustainability" (CS), which is a new area in computational research (C. Gomes & Yang, 2011). CS aims to apply techniques from computer science to address sustainability problems affecting a wide range of fields from environmental sciences to social studies. While CS has been broadly embraced in environmental science, the great potential of this concept to address grand challenges and solve complex problems seems to have not been adequately explored in the built environment domain. Therefore, this paper attempts to formally investigate the application of CS in built environment research addressing different scales of design problems with computational design through proposing the new concept of CDS . These approaches are demonstrated and evaluated through a range of projects collectively conducted by the research team. CDS proposes to advance computational deign research by creating a trade-off between pillars of sustainability in an integrated multifaceted and multidisciplinary approach. The presented conceptual framework provides a formal means to critically understand and further advance these approaches in a systematic way suitable for future development and broader application.

summary	We investigated the contributions of BIM in the light of the Self-Regulatory Learning construct, to understand how academics mobilize strategies to become more autonomous and capable of their own learning. It was investigated how can BIM technology software brings contributions to the development of self-regulatory strategies by undergraduate students. The research was developed first performing a semi-structured interview. Then the collected data were submitted to the content analysis technique and two categories emerged: a) the potentialities of BIM technology use b) contributions of BIM technology in the use of self- regulatory strategies. The findings of this research reveal the role of BIM to support student's self-regulatory strategies.

summary	The stock renovation has become an important area of study. As customized design becomes increasingly popular, the design methods with occupants' participation are increasingly valued. The designers need an intuitive, understandable design method that allows non-professional occupants can also participate in the design process. Therefore, the proposed system explores the applicability of integrating the Building Information Modeling (BIM) model into the Mixed Reality (MR) environment to display realistic and interactive design plans. Occupants who involved in the renovation design wearing head mounted display (HMD) would experience the same MR environment. All of them can use gestures to interact with each other and control all the virtual structures and objects. This MR experience can help users to better understand other's intentions, and they can evaluate the design plans more easily. This paper will introduce a prototype of the integrated co-designing system using multiple HMDs connected in a local area network (LAN).

summary	The shift from computer-aided design (CAD) to building information modeling (BIM) has made the adoption of augmented reality (AR) promising in the field of architecture, engineering and construction. Despite the potential of AR in this field, the industry and professionals have still not fully adopted it due to registration and tracking limitations and visual occlusions in dynamic environments. We propose our first prototype (BIMxAR), which utilizes existing buildings' semantically rich BIM models and contextually aligns geometrical and non-geometrical information with the physical buildings. The proposed prototype aims to solve registration and tracking issues in dynamic environments by utilizing tracking and motion sensors already available in many mobile phones and tablets. The experiment results indicate that the system can support BIM and physical building registration in outdoor and part of indoor environments, but cannot maintain accurate alignment indoor when relying only on a device's motion sensors. Therefore, additional computer vision and AI (deep learning) functions need to be integrated into the system to enhance AR model registration in the future.

summary	Machine Learning (ML) has valuable applications that are yet to be proliferated in the AEC industry. Yet, ML offers arguably significant new ways to produce and assist design. However, ML tools are too often out of the reach of designers, severely limiting opportunities to improve the methods by which designers design. To address this and to optimise the practices of designers, the research aims to create a ML tool that can be integrated into architectural design workflows. Thus, this research investigates how ML can be used to universally move BIM data across various design platforms through the development of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for the recognition and labelling of rooms within floor plan images of multi-residential apartments. The effects of this computation and thinking shift will have meaningful impacts on future practices enveloping all major aspects of our built environment from designing, to construction to management.

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.
