title	What About Humans? Artificial Intelligence in Architecture
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-6568-7_2

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.

title	Techno-aesthetic spaces of fiction: Lapsus Tropicus and the Anthropocene dialetic
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. 808-815
summary	This paper is derived from a research through the creative practice, that aims at the conception of an artwork that reflects on the relationship between the human being, technology and nature. This is shown through the creation process of Lapsus Tropicus, an installation whose origin lies in the hypothesis of what would happen if a glitch -a computer error - began to transform a specific ecosystem. The research took into account the conceptual, formal and technical aspects of an artistic process that dialogues with references such as art, design, architecture, science fiction and key historical moments in the development of science.

title	Transformation as a production of meaning of the kinetic typographic form
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. 31-39
summary	Digitality evidences the existence of writings that contradict the conception of static object. Many avatars of what is written become ephemeral and kinetic: more than objects, they are events. Kinetic writing appears in contemporary works from different disciplinary fields with analog or digital support. Time, expressed in duration, movement and transformation, returns to be the production substance of the sense of the written form — typographic or calligraphic — which is no longer spatial but temporal. The objective is to show how signs mutate to produce meaning from which the transformation, given by the kinetic dimension itself, occurs.

title	Architectural Visualisation with Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGAN). - What machines read in architectural sketches.
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.299
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. 299-308
summary	As a form of visual reasoning, sketching is a human cognitive activity instrumental to architectural design. In the process of sketching, abstract sketches invoke new mental imageries and subsequently lead to new sketches. This iterative transformation is repeated until the final design emerges. Artificial Intelligence and Deep Neural Networks have been developed to imitate human cognitive processes. Amongst these networks, the Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN) has been developed for image-to-image translation and is able to generate realistic images from abstract sketches. To mimic the cyclic process of abstracting and imaging in architectural concept design, a Cyclic-cGAN that consists of two cGANs is proposed in this paper. The first cGAN transforms sketches to images, while the second from images to sketches. The training of the Cyclic-cGAN is presented and its performance illustrated by using two sketches from well-known architects, and two from architecture students. The results show that the proposed Cyclic-cGAN can emulate architects' mode of visual reasoning through sketching. This novel approach of utilising deep neural networks may open the door for further development of Artificial Intelligence in assisting architects in conceptual design.

summary	What if we are already in the Anthropocene epoch where the function of the Earth system is being impacted by human activities? What if our actions indeed are significant enough to have a critical force on the Earth as a system? The term Anthropocene (the Age of Humans) has gained increasing recognition as a description of a crucial geological stage of our planet as we face the consequences of our own events on the earth's ecosystem. While we are beginning to address the predominant challenges of sustainability and ecology, the environments we built have also shaped our behaviors. To celebrate CAADRIA's 25th Anniversary, we challenge ourselves with these questions, asking what we want our future to look like in the next 25, 50, or even 100 years from now? If human creations are substantial enough to start a new geological epoch, what does this imply for our explorations of the realm of computational design and how will advanced technologies shape our future? With the theme of RE: Anthropocene, we ask our contributors to REgard this new geological age as the main meaningful site for exploration into the future, REthink what our planet could become, REvisit our actions and behaviors to foster the REsponsibilities for the planet existence, and perhaps & importantly, REspond to whatever magnitudes happen to the built-environments and other planetary beings.

title	Imagining Futures: a Methodological Perspective for Digital Design
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. 46-51
summary	Imagining future(s) is a culturally relevant practice throughout all the ages and different social domains. Cultures develop their own imagine of future through several practices that unfold the present. The available design technologies have a primary role in this construction process, driving and altering the vision of what is imagined. Visionary images of the future, whether induced by drawing or other techniques, are real agents of social change. This paper provides a theoretical approach to futures oriented design practices through the analisis of the outcomes of the Imagining Future(s) workshop at Foster Foundation (Madrid) and outlines three methodology tracks detected during the exercise.

title	Multi-sensory Materiality - Expanding Human Experience and Material Potentials with Advanced HoloLens Technologies and Emotion Sensing Wearables
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.1.721
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. 721-730
summary	What is the current state of human/material perception relative to advanced architectural technology? What sensory experiences are possible, and how are they designed and deployed? What happens when advanced HoloLens technologies are used in conjunction with wearable emotion-sensing technologies to connect people with deeper sensory experiences relative to materiality and space? Does this offer a heightened pedagogical perspective when teaching architecture? This paper responds to these questions by expanding on and critiquing a small scale digitally augmented project created in an academic setting. The project focuses on relationships between technology and human sensory experience relative to specific augmented and sensorial engagements. It employs an overlap of HoloLens technology to make and enhance the design experience and wearable emotion sensors to evaluate the human experience.

summary	Digital fabrication tools are typically employed to materialize a fixed design. Design limits the choice of material; Natural material behavior may consider as flaws in the fabrication. What if these tools and material behaviors being used as sketching tools to generate new design ideas? In this paper, we present a workflow in which digital fabrication tools, specifically robotic arms, are used as sketching tools. It is called robotic sketching; The goal is to sketch with effects of fabrication settings on emerging behaviors of materials in first steps of design. We exemplify this workflow with a case on robotic clay 3D printing.

summary	The interface of science and technology has become a fruitful transdisciplinary research field for spatial practices. To address this hybridization of space-related research, it is fundamental to ask what kind of practices are emerging within this context. To promote easy access and the dissemination of methodologies applied in innovative experimental spatial practices, the present study proposes the creation of a web-based Interactive Database for Experimental Architecture and Spatial Practices, IDEAS. Therefore, we will scope, observe, examine, and classify the digital cultural landscape in the 1960-2020 period. This paper describes the methodology applied to develop IDEAS.

title	Computational Pragmatism - Computational design as pragmatist tools for the age of the Anthropocene
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.2.487
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. 487-496
summary	The age of Anthropocene describes a geological epoch wherein human action is recognised as a global-scale geophysical force that is reaping devastating consequences for the natural environment. What the Anthropocene and pragmatist thinking share is an understanding of the coevolution of life and the planet (in pragmatism's terminology human-environment relations) through a deeply systemic view. This paper outlines how core methods and theories currently engaged under the rubric of computational design can also be understood to align to key tenets of pragmatism. In so doing, the question this raises is how more recent advancements in computation that include so-called Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in design might operationalise distributed, shared, and significantly, interactional notions of systemic agency? The argument put forward here is that a neo-pragmatist perspective of computational design must fundamentally engage AI as the age of the Anthropocene necessitates a relinquishing of the privileged view of human-only agency and control over systems towards a more dynamic and interactional model.

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	Cyborgian Approach of Eco-interaction Design Based on Machine Intelligence and Embodied Experience
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-33-4400-6_8
source	Proceedings of the 2020 DigitalFUTURES The 2nd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2020)
summary	The proliferation of digital technology has swelled the amount of time people spent in cyberspace and weakened our sensibility of the physical world. Human beings in this digital era are already cyborgs as the smart devices have become an integral part of our life. Imagining a future where human totally give up mobile phones and embrace nature is neither realistic nor reasonable. What we should aim to explore is the opportunities and capabilities of digital technology in terms of fighting against its own negative effect - cyber addiction, and working as a catalyst that re-embeds human into outdoor world. Cyborgian systems behave through embedded intelligence in the environment and discrete wearable devices for human. In this way, cyborgian approach enables designers to take advantages of digital technologies to achieve two objectives: one is to improve the quality of environment by enhancing our understanding of nonhuman creatures; the other is to encourage a proper level of human participation without disturbing eco-balance. Finally, this paper proposed a cyborgian eco-interaction design model which combines top-down and bottom-up logics and is organized by the Internet of Things, so as to provide a possible solution to the concern that technologies are isolating human and nature.

summary	Digital design techniques have saturated architectural discourse in the past forty-plus years from modelling to simulation and fabrication. Digital or Computational Design now forms part of the standard architectural curriculum, promising efficiency in modelling, design, advancing site analysis and ease of fabrication. Alongside these promises, we as educators begin to witness a new level of complacency governed by the use of the digital tools; we call this Digital Stupefaction. With the increasing 'smartness' of digital tools, what is the risk of shifting away from the focus of what students should/could know, and what information they embody? Is it still relevant to be able to draw on intrinsic background knowledge, or tacit knowledge in action, when everything can be analysed and verified on the fly (or even pre-selected via AI)? How can educators respond to these challenges by adjusting the way they deliver subjects associated with digital design?

title	Towards an Interactionist Model of Cognizant Architecture - A sentient maze built with swarm intelligence
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.201
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. 201-208
summary	Cognizant Architecture is a term used to define sentient and smart structures broadly. In this paper, an 'Interactionist' model of cognizant architecture is proposed as a method of investigating the development process by inverting the conventional concept of maze design. The proposed 'Cognizant Maze' aims to achieve user-architecture micro-interactions through delighting the users, presenting a physical activity equally attractive to kids and adults alike, and activating mind-enticing visual effects. Like many previous innovations, nature is what inspires us in the maze-making process. In modelling the cognizant maze, we develop the concept and workflow of prototyping a form of swarm intelligence. We are particularly interested in exploring how simulated behaviours of swarm intelligence can be manifested in a maze environment for micro-interactions to take place. Combining parametric modelling and Arduino-based physical computing, our current interactive prototyping shows how the maze and its users can 'think, act and play' with each other, hence achieving an interactionist model of cognizant architecture. We reflect that the lessons learned from the Cognizant Maze experiment may lead to further development of cognizant architecture as a propagation of swarm intelligence through multi-layered micro-interactions.

summary	The development of information technologies has resulted in a strong return of interest in the concept of automating the design process. Most of the attempts such as works of Hersey and Freedman, Duarte or the PRISM application are based on shape grammars. Another approach is evolutionary simulations in concept creation augmentation such as works of Dogan, Saratsis and Reinhart or Nahara and Terzidis.This study examines to what extent evolutionary algorithms can be used to automate early stages of residential multi-family building architectural design. To facilitate informed decision-making, a tool capable of analysing a building plot and proposing the best fitting building shape was designed and tested with Polish legal regulations taken into consideration.A script generating, analysing, and evolutionally optimising a 3D model of the apartment building, was developed. All models met the basic legal conditions and were optimised by four criteria - view obstruction, insolation, maximal allowed floor area built and building compactness. The script was later used on selected building plots producing thousands of solutions. The best performing solutions were selected and presented together with their calculated parameters.

title	Design is real, complex, inclusive, emergent and evil
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 18 - no. 1, 5-19
summary	Can computers make our designs more intelligent and better informed? This is the implication of the theme of the special issue. Architectural design is often thought of as the design of the object, and design models of architecture seek to explicate this process. As an architect, however, I cannot subscribe to that view. In this particular article, I will explore how computational approaches have illuminated and expanded my work to enable the interaction of these themes across scores of projects. Underpinning the projects are foundational concepts: design is real, complex, inclusive, emergent and evil. Design is grounded in reality and facts, that we can derive design outcomes from a deep and unblemished understanding of the world around us. It is not a stylistic escape. Reality is complex. Architectural design has sought to simplify. This was inescapable when projects are so large yet need to be communicated succinctly. ‘Less is more’ justified this approach. In town planning, this is evident in the tool of zoning. Parse the problem and then address each piece. What we do is part of a larger effort. The field of architecture seeks distinction. Design theories want to distinguish and elevate architecture. But if design is complex and it is real, then it is tied to messy realism. Designing has to become accessible to other realms of knowledge. Designing is the seeking of opportunity. For many, design is simply finding the answer – think of Herbert Simon’s statement that design is problem solving. Design reveals opportunities, and these emergent conditions are to be grasped. As designers, our decisions have implications. We know now that what we build has future implications in ways that are profound. When we define design as problem solving, we ignore the truth that design is problem making.

summary	The paper discusses the future possible trajectories of information technologies applied to Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) domain. Specifically, it focuses on Building Information Modelling (BIM) being a key subject in the context of understanding the challenge of computing for a better tomorrow. In this respect it presents Polish situation as one of the European Union countries aiming at implementing BIM on the national level. What is more, it reveals findings derived from experience of teaching BIM and from questionnaires prepared for BIM learners. A comparative study of two types of representatives, viz. architecture students and experienced professionals, both acquiring BIM skills, has been conducted. The results show different approach and key obstacles associated with teaching, learning and comprehending BIM. Furthermore, on the one hand the study reveals discrepancy between research, academic experiments and everyday practice. On the other hand it emphasises specific characteristics of this domain enhanced with dynamic pace of change in technology, leading to conclusions that BIM should be placed on lifelong learning trajectory. Despite numerous obstacles the adoption of BIM is facing it concludes that it has arguments and potential to become 2020+ realm.

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. 475-482
summary	This paper presents social media as an analytical tool, helping to transform public policy-making, alongside urban needs by dissecting and evaluating human perception. Using emotion analysis on data gathered from a social media platform, experiments are developed to bring new value to architectural and civic narratives. Emotions from texts collected within social media platforms are extracted and mapped alongside tagged locations to gain a greater understanding of how public spaces are utilized. This project develops a new analytical layer within our built environment, working alongside the urban fabric, mechanical systems, and digital infrastructure. It is offered as an interactive tool for policymakers and designers to glean feedback, creating an informed conversation between citizens and decision-makers. Whereas social media platforms such as Twitter and Yelp have been referenced in past academic contexts, this project moves further by producing quantified emotions, painting a differentiated result from what purely semantic data could deliver.

summary	Smart Growth is an urban design movement initiated by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States (Smart Growth America, 2019). The regulations of Smart Growth control urban morphologies such as building height, use, position, section configurations, faÃ§ade configurations, and materials, which have an explicit association with energy performances. This research aims to analyze and visualize the impact of Smart Growth developments on environmental performances. This paper presents a parametric modeling and simulation framework for Smart Growth developments that can model the potential community development scenarios, simulate the environmental footprints of each parcel, and visualize the results of modeling and simulation. We implemented and examined the proposed framework through a case study of two Smart Growth regulations: Columbia Unified Development Code (UDC) in Missouri (City of Columbia Missouri, 2017) and Overland Park Downtown Form-based Code (FBC) in Kansas City (City of Overland Park, 2017, 2019). Last, we discuss the implementation results, the limitations of the proposed framework, and the future work. We anticipate that the proposed method can improve stakeholders' understanding of how Smart Growth developments are associated with potential environmental footprints from an expeditious and thorough exploration of what-if scenarios of the multiple development schemes.
