Online and Global. 3-6 November 2021. edited by B. Bogosian, K. Dörfler, B. Farahi, J. Garcia del Castillo y López, J. Grant, V. Noel, S. Parascho, and J. Scott. 38-47.
summary	This research explores how exterior public space, defined through the configuration of the city, and human behavior affect the spread of disease. In order to understand the virus spreading mechanism and influencing factors of the epidemic which accompanying residents’ movement, this study attempts to reproduce the process of virus spreading in city areas through computer simulation. The simulation can be divided into residents movement simulation and the virus spreading simulation. First, the Agent-based model can effectively simulate the behavior of the individual and crowd, and real location data based on residents which uploaded by mobile phone applications is used as a behavioral driving force for the agent's movement. Second, a mathematical model of infectious diseases was constructed based on SIR (SEIR) Compartmental models in epidemiology. Finally, by analyzing the simulation results of the agent's movement in the city area and the virus spreading under different conditions, the influence of multiple factors of city configuration and human behavior on its spreading process is explored, and the effectiveness of countermeasures such as social distancing and lockdown are further demonstrated.

title	Interactive Virtual Sand Table: An Improved Alternative Participatory Design Tool for Architectural Design
source	Gomez, P and Braida, F (eds.), Designing Possibilities - Proceedings of the XXV International Conference of the Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi 2021), Online, 8 - 12 November 2021, pp. 67–78
summary	With the planning reform in China, public participation is becoming increasingly crucial to the success of rural planning. However, it is difficult to involve various stakeholders in planning and design projects, mainly due to insufficient planning knowledge and computer skills. Therefore, this paper introduces the Interactive Virtual Sand Table (IVST) as a participatory design tool so that non-professional users can use it conveniently and promote interactive and efficient collaborative design discussion. The IVST based participatory tool was applied in Xidong Village, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, China. The results show that IVST interaction is more natural and reduces non-professional users' difficulty participating in the design. Participants' ability to participate was highly enhanced, and their interest in IVST visualization was highly activated. In conclusion, the Interactive Virtual Sand Table highly supports the participatory village planning process and may apply to other areas and domains.

summary	Geometrically complex building components‚ reliance on high-touch implementation often results in tedious information reprocessing. Recent use of Mixed Reality (MR) in architectural practices, however, can reduce data translation and potentially increase design-to-build efficiency. This paper uses Aurora, a single-story residential building for 2021 China‚s Solar Decathlon Competition, as a demonstrator to evaluate the performance of on-site holographic building construction. This paper firstly reviews recent studies of MR in architectural design and practice. It then describes an MR-aided construction process of Aurora's non-standard building envelope and rooftop mounting structure, where in-situ holographic registration, human-machine cooperation, and as-built analysis are discussed. This paper concludes by stating that MR technologies provide unskilled implementers with a handy approach to materialise complex designs. The research was guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially aligning with the GOAL 9 which seeks innovations in industry and infrastructure.

title	Exploration on Machine Learning Layout Generation of Chinese Private Garden in Southern Yangtze
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_4
source	Proceedings of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES The 3rd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2021)
summary	Machine learning has been proved to be feasible and reasonable in architectural field by extensive researches recently, whereas its potential is far from being tapped. Previous studies show that the training of GAN by labelling can enable a computer to grasp interrelationship of spatial elements and logical relationship between spatial elements and boundary. This study set the learning object as layout of private gardens in southern Yangtze with higher complexity. Chinese scholars usually analyse private garden layout based on their observation and experience. In this paper, based on Pix2Pix model, we enable a computer to generate private garden layout plan for given site conditions by learning classic cases of traditional Chinese private gardens. Through the experiment, taking Lingering garden as example, we continuously adjust the labelling method to improve learning effect. The finally trained model can quickly generate private garden layout and aid designers to complete scheme design with private garden element corpus. In addition, the working process of training GAN enables us to discover and verify some private garden layout rules that have not been paid attention to.

title	Computational Generation of Hutong Neighbourhood Maps - A shape grammar for procedural modelling to represent the historical Beijing urban structure
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.2.303
source	Stojakovic, V and Tepavcevic, B (eds.), Towards a new, configurable architecture - Proceedings of the 39th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, University of Novi Sad, Novi Sad, Serbia, 8-10 September 2021, pp. 303-312
summary	The Hutong neighbourhoods, composed of Chinese courtyard dwellings (Siheyuan), are historically and socially significant urban spaces that embody traditional Chinese philosophy. There is a global interest in these spaces many of which face oblivion, this study presents a formal grammar for parametrically generating Hutong neighbourhoods, which replicates the morphological characteristics of historic cases. This research investigates traditional principles of urban planning of ancient Beijing, based on examples on the historical map Qianlong Jingcheng Quantu, to derive the lost design rules. These rules are then used to build up a procedural modelling process, which reveals the development of Beijing urban structure from Yuan (1271-1368) to Qing (1368-1911) dynasty. The grammar presented in the procedural modelling process contributes to the understanding of the generation of Hutong neighbourhoods. In support of traditional Chinese urban design, the grammar will be translated into an algorithm to be implemented in a computational environment by visual scripting that will generate new instances of Hutong neighbourhoods.

title	An optimization method for large-scale 3D printing - Generate external axis motion using Fourier series
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.683
source	A. Globa, J. van Ameijde, A. Fingrut, N. Kim, T.T.S. Lo (eds.), PROJECTIONS - Proceedings of the 26th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 1, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Online, Hong Kong, 29 March - 1 April 2021, pp. 683-692
summary	With the increase in labor costs, more and more robot constructions appear in building construction and spatial structure fabrication. There are many robots working on large-scale objects. When the reach range of the robot cannot meet the requirements, so an external axis is needed. The external axis is usually a linear motion device, which can significantly increase the operating range of the robotic arm. In actual construction, it is also widely used. This article introduces a 3d printing coffee bar project. Because this project is of a large scale and needs to be printed at one time, the XYZ external axis was used in this project to complete the task. Inspired by this project, this article study several methods of optimizing the motion of external axes in large-scale construction. Finally, we chose to use the Fourier series as the most suitable method to optimize the printing path and programed this method as a component of FUROBOT for more convenient use. This article explains the principle of this method in detail. Finally, this article uses a 3D printing example to illustrate the precautions in actual use.

title	CubiGraph5K - Organizational Graph Generation for Structured Architectural Floor Plan Dataset
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.081

summary	In this paper, a novel synthetic workflow is presented for procedural generation of room relation graphs of floor plans from structured architectural datasets. Different from classical floor plan generation models, which are based on strong heuristics or low-level pixel operations, our method relies on parsing vectorized floor plans to generate their intended organizational graph for further graph-based deep learning. This research work presents the schema for the organizational graphs, describes the generation algorithms, and analyzes its time/space complexity. As a demonstration, a new dataset called CubiGraph5K is presented. This dataset is a collection of graph representations generated by the proposed algorithms, using the floor plans in the popular CubiCasa5K dataset as inputs. The aim of this contribution is to provide a matching dataset that could be used to train neural networks on enhanced floor plan parsing, analysis and generation in future research.

title	EvoMass + GH_Wind - An agile wind-driven building massing design optimization framework
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.1.477
source	Stojakovic, V and Tepavcevic, B (eds.), Towards a new, configurable architecture - Proceedings of the 39th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, University of Novi Sad, Novi Sad, Serbia, 8-10 September 2021, pp. 477-486
summary	The complex interactive relationship between wind flow and building design poses a great challenge in architectural design. Recent research has been conducted to combine Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and computational design optimization to solve the problem. However, due to the time-consuming simulation process and the assertion-oriented computational optimization application, such CFD-based design optimization frameworks are not easy to integrate with architects' early-stage design exploration. To address these issues, this paper proposes an agile wind-driven building massing design optimization framework incorporating EvoMass and GH_Wind in the Rhino-Grasshopper environment. EvoMass is an integrated evolutionary building massing design tool, and GH_Wind is a simulation tool embedded with a Fast Fluid Dynamics (FFD) solver. Combining these two tools allows for fast wind-driven design optimization, thereby enabling architects to apply it to early-stage design exploration. To demonstrate its efficacy, a case study is presented to illustrate how the proposed design optimization framework can provide architects with useful design information and, thereby, facilitate more performance-informed design for early-stage architectural design.

summary	The free-form ice shell is the most challenging type in the design and construction of free-form buildings due to the regional and temporary nature of its materials. This paper presents a case study of the integration of design and fabrication of free-form ice shell. Taking the computational design and robotic fabrication of the ice shell as the main object, we discuss that combines the form-finding of the shell structure of graphic static with the tessellation technology of stereotomy, and propose a new method and workflow for the integration of discrete free-form ice shell design and construction. In the end, we built a free-form ice shell consisting of 116 discrete ice blocks. Practice has proved the feasibility of the integrated method of discrete free-form ice shell design and construction in the article.

title	Intuitive Behavior - The Operation of Reinforcement Learning in Generative Design Processes

summary	The paper posits a novel approach for augmenting existing generative design processes to embed a greater level of design intention and create more sophisticated generative methodologies. The research presented in the paper is part of a speculative research project, Artificial Agency, that explores the operation of Machine Learning (ML) in generative design and robotic fabrication processes. By framing the inherent limitation of contemporary generative design approaches, the paper speculates on a heuristic approach that hybridizes a Reinforcement Learning based top-down evolutionary approach with bottom-up emergent generative processes. This approach is developed through a design experiment that establishes a topological field with intuitive global awareness of pavilion-scale design criteria. Theoretical strategies and technical details are demonstrated in the design experiment in regard to the translation of ML definitions within a generative design context as well as the encoding of design intentions. Critical reflections are offered in regard to the impacts, characteristics, and challenges towards the further development of the approach. The paper attempts to broaden the range and impact of Artificial Intelligence applications in the architectural discipline.

summary	Performance-based design is encouraging designers to carry out quantitative-oriented research, sometimes indifferent to qualitative matters that concern social, cultural, and even psychological aspects. Design requirements related to humans subjective value and decision-making ought to be properly addressed. This paper begins with the discussion of architectural complexity about its ill-defined design problems. Humans linguistic variables contain the ambiguous yet uncertain value that seemingly unfit for todays precise digital design approaches. Hence, this paper involves the idea of fuzzy logic and its inference system, presents a soft computing method using membership functions to describe qualitative parameters. It then uses MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox, as an auxiliary design tool apart from Rhinoceros Grasshopper, to grade design options of a bending-active gridshell from an undergraduate design studio.

summary	Wearable electronics endow us a great capacity to see clothing as an extension of our body and an interface to interact with our physical and social environment. The fashion industry is experimenting with new tectonics and materiality, however, few projects have explored wearables in the public and social domains and how it can dynamically respond to a wide range of interpersonal distances in social interaction. PNEU-SKIN is a pneumatic wearable that uses critical making as a research strategy to explore interactive and soft interfaces to create soft boundaries between private and public space. This paper proposes an embodied computation agenda and describes the design and prototyping process of a multi-sensory smart skin in response to varying social distance in interpersonal communication. By looking at adaptive behaviors in nature and the way that certain animal species respond to external stimuli by increasing their size and providing multi-sensory responses, PNEU-SKIN looks into how our clothing could become an adaptable skin to redefine interpersonal communication experience within everyday social interaction.

summary	The business model of architecture has been accused of being technologically deficient. Through case studies, this paper investigates alternatives to the status quo of computation in architecture, with a focus on design-oriented service providers. It first examines the discourse on computation within the field, then describes the experiments of a relevant design firm before discussing implications for the wider industry. In the process, the paper articulates the gap between theoretical computing applications and the realities of the architecture business. It addresses difficult technological adaptations within the industry with concrete use cases of integrated computing expertise, highlighting opportunities, benefits, and, more importantly, the need for a computational workforce.

title	From Separation to Incorporation - A Full-Circle Application of Computational Approaches to Performance-Based Architectural Design
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_18
source	Proceedings of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES The 3rd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2021)
summary	In performance-based architectural design, most existing techniques and design approaches to assisting designers are primarily for a single design problem such as building massing, spatial layouts, or facade design. However, architectural design is a synthesis process that considers multiple design problems. Thus, for achieving an overall improvement in building performance, it is critical to incorporate computational techniques and methods into all key design problems. In this regard, this paper presents a full-circle application of different computational design approaches and tools to exploit the potential of building performance in driving architectural design towards more novel and sustainable buildings as well as to explore new research design paradigms for performance-based architectural design in real-world design scenarios. This paper takes a commercial complex building design as an example to demonstrate how building performance can be incorporated into different building design problems and reflect on the limitations of existing tools in supporting the architectural design.

title	The Synergy of building massing and facade - An Evo-Devo approach for performance-based design optimization combining facade design with building massing
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.451
source	A. Globa, J. van Ameijde, A. Fingrut, N. Kim, T.T.S. Lo (eds.), PROJECTIONS - Proceedings of the 26th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 1, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Online, Hong Kong, 29 March - 1 April 2021, pp. 451-460
summary	One of the problems lies in performance-based architectural design optimization is the separation of building massing design and facade design. The separation of design processes significantly weakens the synergizing of building massing and facades for more progressive performance improvement. In order to overcome this weakness, this paper presents a performance-based design optimization workflow combining facade with building massing design using an Evo-Devo approach. This workflow enables architects to make a rapid design exploration of different faÃ§ade design schemes incorporating building massing design optimization. For demonstration, a case study is presented to show how this approach can facilitate early-stage architectural design exploration, and how the combination of the two factors can outperform the results produced by separated design processes.

summary	Graphic statics vividly shows the topological relationship between the "form" represented by the structure itself and the "force" generated by its action through graphic method, which has become an important tool for architects to carry out structural innovative design in the past century. In the 21st century, with the development of computer technology, graphic statics has developed from the dual relationship between 2D thrust network and closed force polygon to the dual relationship between 3D thrust network and space closed force polyhedron. In this paper, the design method of graphic statics based on 3D graphic statics is applied to a stainless chair and an ice pavilion design. Researchers used different digital fabrication methods to manufacture the chair and the pavilion according to its material attribute.
