summary	Most of the traditional studies on urban morphology are based on aerial views. However, the 2D plane model fails to describe the height information of buildings and the relation of buildings and the urban external space. An urban section is another map of an urban area. Through a series of continuous vertical urban slices, the city texture can be transformed into planar linear information containing height and width information. This paper proposes several indicators to describe a series of urban section slices and uses a three-dimensional coordinate mapping method Sectionmatrix to quantify and analyze the relation between the physical geometrical indicators and urban form from the section perspective. Through the case analysis of multiple residential blocks in Nanjing, China, the results showed that Sectionmatrix is convenient and efficient. Sectionmatrix relates the geometrical properties to the spatial characteristics of urban areas and provides a new way to classify, map and define building typologies. This new classification method reveals the tortuosity and complexity of residential blocks. By bridging the gap between quantity and form, the research also suggests other possible applications of Sectionmatrix as a control instrument and test framework for entire cities planning and 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.

title	Mortarless Compressed Earth Block Dwellings
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2021.340
source	ACADIA 2021: Realignments: Toward Critical Computation [Proceedings of the 41st Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 979-8-986-08056-7]. 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. 340-345.
summary	This project develops a template design and an adaptive fabrication process for sustainable Compressed Earth Block (CEB) dwellings for low-income countries. Most existing projects (Wilton et al. 2019; WASP 2021) on sustainable dwellings involve high-tech equipment or skilled workers on-site. This project integrates digital technologies into the design and fabrication processes to reduce these requirements and make the design compatible with conventional construction methods that are actively adopted in low-income countries using minimum infrastructure, skilled labor, and investment.

title	Optimisation Design Strategy of Rural Building Forms for a Healthy Microclimate Environment
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.381
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. 381-390
summary	The paper based on microclimate environment of the site takes the optimized design of rural building form to help the rural revitalization and sustainable development. The reconstructedÂ house project inÂ Baihua Village of Tangchi Town in Anhui Province is taken as the research case to discuss the form optimization strategies. Based on the principle of passive priority and active optimization, the building in Baihua Village is analyzed byÂ field investigation and numerical simulation. First, the outdoor environment is interpreted by using Weather Tool software to offer a building form proposal. Then, with the drawing software CAD, ecological building simulation software Ecotect, and green building analysis software PKPM, the optimization strategy analysis of healthy building form was carried out to verify the optimal solution of building form based on Chinas national standards. Finally, this paper summarized and improved the rural building optimization design system for a healthy microclimate environment. The results of this paper are hoped to use for the contemporary rural architectural form design.
