summary The gradual rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its increasing visibility among many research disciplines affected Computer-Aided Architectural Design (CAAD). Architectural deep learning (DL) approaches are being developed and published on a regular basis, such as retrieval (Sharma et al. 2017) or design style manipulation (Newton 2019; Silvestre et al. 2016). However, there seems to be no method to evaluate highly constrained spatial configurations for specific architectural domains (such as housing or office buildings) based on basic architectural principles and everyday practices. This paper introduces an automatic constraint-based consistency checker to evaluate the coherency of semantic spatial configurations of housing construction using a small set of design principles to evaluate our DL approaches. The consistency checker informs about the overall performance of a spatial configuration followed by whether it is open/closed and the constraints it didn't satisfy. This paper deals with the relation of spaces processed as mathematically formalized graphs contrary to existing model checking software like Solibri.

title Comparative Evaluation of Tensor-based Data Representations for Deep Learning Methods in Architecture
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.1.045

summary This paper presents an extended evaluation of tensor-based representations of graph-based architectural room configurations. This experiment is a continuation of examination of recognition of semantic architectural features by contemporary standard deep learning methods. The main aim of this evaluation is to investigate how the deep learning models trained using the relation tensors as data representation means perform on data not available in the training dataset. Using a straightforward classification task, stepwise modifications of the original training dataset and manually created spatial configurations were fed into the models to measure their prediction quality. We hypothesized that the modifications that influence the class label will not decrease this quality, however, this was not confirmed and most likely the latent non-class defining features make up the class for the model. Under specific circumstances, the prediction quality still remained high for the winning relation tensor type.

title Exploring optimal ways to represent topological and spatial features of building designs in deep learning methods and applications for architecture
doi https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.191

summary The main aim of this research is to harness deep learning techniques to support architectural design problems in early design phases, for example, to enable auto-completion of unfinished designs. For this purpose, we investigate the possibilities offered by established deep learning libraries such as TensorFlow. In this paper, we address a core challenge that arises, namely the transformation of semantic building information into a tensor format that can be processed by the libraries. Specifically, we address the representation of information about room types of a building and type of connection between the respective rooms. We develop and discuss five formats. Results of an initial evaluation based on a classification task show that all formats are suitable for training deep learning networks. However, a clear winner could be determined as well, for which a maximum value of 98% for validation accuracy could be achieved.
