summary	Machine Learning has become a significant research area in architecture; it can be used to retrieve valuable information for available data used to predict future instances. the purpose of this research was to develop an automated workflow to enhance the implementation of The Egyptian fire & life safety (FLS) code in mega projects and reduce the time wasted on the traditional process of rooms’ uses, occupant load, and egress capacity calculations to increase productivity by applying Supervised Machine Learning based on classification techniques through data mining and building datasets from previous projects, and explore the methods of preparation and analyzing data (text cleanup- tokenization- filtering- stemming-labeling). Then, provide an algorithm for classification rules using C# and python in integration with BIM tools such as Revit-Dynamo to calculate cumulative occupant load based on factors which are mentioned in the Egyptian FLS code, determine classification and uses of rooms to validate all data related to FLS. Moreover, calculating the egress capacity of means of egress for not only exit doors but also exit stairs. In addition, the research is to identify a clear understanding about ML and BIM through project case studies and how to build a model with the needed accuracy.

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. 1189–1198
summary	The presented research study tackles the topic of economic and material sustainable development in the built environment and construction industry by introducing and applying the concept and the potential of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on blockchain within the early stages of the design process via the interface of common design software. We present a digital infrastructure layer for architectural assets and building components that can integrate with AEC supply chains, enabling a more effective and articulated development of circular economies. The infrastructure layer consists of a combination of topology graphs secured with a blockchain. The paper concludes with a discussion about the possibilities of material passports as well as circular economy and smart contracts as an infrastructure for whole lifecycle BIM and digital encapsulation of value in architectural design.

summary	Smart Growth is a fast-growing urban design and planning movement developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These regulations control urban morphologies such as building form, position, faÃ§ade configurations, building materials, road configurations, which have an explicit association with the microclimate and outdoor comfort. This paper presents an urban modeling and simulation framework that can represent the urban morphology and its impact on microclimate shaped by Smart Growth. First, we created urban models using custom parametric objects and a building component library in BIM. Then we integrated parametric BIM and multiple performance simulations, including wind analysis, solar accessibility, and energy use. For implementation, a case study was carried out using two Smart Growth regulations in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The paper elaborates on the findings from simulation results, challenges in implementation, and limitations of the proposed framework to manage a large number of regulation variables in simulation.

title	Point Cloud Segmentation for Building Reuse - Construction of digital twins in early phase building reuse projects
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.327
source	Dokonal, W, Hirschberg, U and Wurzer, G (eds.), Digital Design Reconsidered - Proceedings of the 41st Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2023) - Volume 2, Graz, 20-22 September 2023, pp. 327–336
summary	Point cloud processing has come a long way in the past years. Advances in computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) have enabled its automated recognition and processing. However, few of those developments have made it through to the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Here, optimizing those workflows can reduce time spent on early-phase projects, which otherwise could be spent on developing innovative design solutions. Simplifying the processing of building point cloud scans makes it more accessible and therefore, usable for design, planning and decision-making. Furthermore, automated processing can also ensure that point clouds are processed consistently and accurately, reducing the potential for human error. This work is part of a larger effort to optimize early-phase design processes to promote the reuse of vacant buildings. It focuses on technical solutions to automate the reconstruction of point clouds into a digital twin as a simplified solid 3D element model. In this paper, various ML approaches, among others KPConv Thomas et al. (2019), ShapeConv Cao et al. (2021) and Mask-RCNN He et al. (2017), are compared in their ability to apply semantic as well as instance segmentation to point clouds. Further it relies on the S3DIS Armeni et al. (2017), NYU v2 Silberman et al. (2012) and Matterport Ramakrishnan et al. (2021) data sets for training. Here, the authors aim to establish a workflow that reduces the effort for users to process their point clouds and obtain object-based models. The findings of this research show that although pure point cloud-based ML models enable a greater degree of flexibility, they incur a high computational cost. We found, that using RGB-D images for classifications and segmentation simplifies the complexity of the ML model but leads to additional requirements for the data set. These can be mitigated in the initial process of capturing the building or by extracting the depth data from the point cloud.

summary	Operating room design is a complex planning task. In order to jointly find the best solution, specialists from numerous professions are involved in the planning process, since e.g. equipment layout and airflow is crucial for optimal surgical procedures. For a better and more informed discussion, and thus better optimization and firm decisions, we have developed a method linking BIM (Building Information Modelling), VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation, and a tangible user interface, so that freely configurable layouts can be tested interactively, be discussed, and optimized both in model and 1:1 scale already in early planning phases. This method has been applied to a hospital design with 33 new operating rooms, differing in sizes as well as layouts according to the different types of operations.

summary	During the COVID-19 pandemic situation, educational institutions were forced to conduct all academic activities in distance learning formats, including the architecture program. This act barred interaction between students and supervisors only through their computers screen. Therefore, in this study, we explored an opportunity to utilize virtual reality (VR) technology to help students understand and evaluate design outcomes from an architectural design studio course in a virtual environment setting. The design evaluation process is focused on building affordance and user accessibility aspect based on the design objectives that students must achieve. As a result, we developed a game-engine based VR system called VRDR for evaluating design studio outcomes modeled as Building Information Modeling (BIM) models.

title	The Use of Diagrammatic Reasoning to Aid Conceptual Design in Building Information Modeling (BIM)
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.2.039
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. 39-48
summary	Architectural design is an intellectual activity where the architect moves from the abstract to the real. In this process, the abstract represents the logical reasoning of how architectural form is configured or structured, while the real refers to the final physical form. Diagrams become an integral part of the conceptual design stage because they mediate between those two realms. Building Information Modeling (BIM) can reallocate the effort and time to emphasize conceptual design. However, many consider BIM a professionally-oriented tool that is less suitable for the early design stages. This research suggests that architectural design reasoning can be achieved using constraint-based parametric diagrams to aid conceptual design in BIM. The study examines several techniques and constructs a framework to use diagrams in the early design stages. This framework has been investigated through Villa Stein and Citrohan House by Le Corbusier. This study addresses two roles of diagrams: the generative role to create various design solutions and the analytical one to conduct an early performance study of the building. Our research contributes to the discussion on the ways designers can use digital diagrams to support the architectural design process.

title	TEC-House: Itinerant Modular Space Based on Digital Fabrication
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. 1499–1510
summary	The academy aims to understand and insert digital technologies in the collaborative, interdisciplinary and innovative process. Thus, the process of this project aims to develop an itinerant space that enables integration between academics and the community, associated with digital technologies, making it essential as a precursor of knowledge, innovation and social well-being. Based on concepts from Smart City and Smart Campus, as it addresses a phenomenon of development intrinsic to technological processes in pursuit of environmental quality, it appropriates of digital manufacturing tools as a programmatic production model. Inspired by the generation of physical objects from digital models along the lines of Wikihouse, a modular architectural executive method was developed as an alternative for flexibility and movement. At the end of the process, there is the conception of the TEC-House, idealized as an itinerant modular space, based on anthropometric parameters where function determines the way they integrate, constituting modifying places.

title	Joint Descriptive Modeling (JDM) for Assembly-Aware Timber Structure Design
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_33
source	Proceedings of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES The 3rd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2021)
summary	Joints design is an essential step in the process of designing timber structures. Complex architectural topologies require thorough planning and scheduling, as it is necessary to consider numerous factors such as structural stability, fabrication capabilities, and ease of assembly. This paper introduces a novel approach to timber joints design that embed both fabrication and assembly considerations within the same model to avoid mistakes that might cause delays and further expenses. We developed a workflow that allows us to identify the fundamental data to describe a given joint geometry, machine-independent fabrication procedures, and the assembly sequence. Based on this, we introduce a comprehensive descriptive language called Joint Descriptive Model (JDM) that leverages industry standards to convert a joint into a usable output for both fabrication and assembly simulations. Finally, we suggest a seed of a joint’s library with some common joints.

title	Topology Generated Non-Fungible Tokens - Blockchain as infrastructure for a circular economy in architectural design
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.2.151

summary	The paper presents a new digital infrastructure layer for buildings and architectural assets. The infrastructure layer consists of a combination of topology graphs secured on a decentralised ledger. The topology graphs organise non-fungible digital tokens which each represent and correspond to building components, and in the root of the graph to the building itself.The paper presents background research in the relationship of building representation in the form of graphs with topology, of both manifold and non manifold nature. In parallel we present and analyse the relationship between digital representation and physical manifestation of a building, and back again. Within the digital representations the paper analyses the securing and saving of information on decentralised ledger technologies (such as blockchain). We then present a simple sample of generating and registering a non-manifold topology graph on the Ethereum blockchain as an EC721 token, i.e. a digital object that is unique, all through the use of dynamo and python scripting connected with a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. Ownership of this token can then be transferred on the blockchain smart contracts. The paper concludes with a discussion of the possibilities that this integration brings in terms of material passports and a circular economy and smart contracts as an infrastructure for whole-lifecycle BIM and digitally encapsulates of value in architectural designPlease write your abstract here by clicking this paragraph.

title	Framework for decentralised architectural design BIM and Blockchain integration
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 2, 157–173
summary	The paper introduces a framework for decentralised architectural design in the context of the fourth industrial revolution. We examine first the constraints of building information modelling in regard to collaboration and trust. We then introduce Blockchain infrastructure as a means for creating new operational and business models for architectural design, through project governance, scaling collaboration nominally to thousands of agents, and shifting trust to the infrastructure rather than the architectural design team. Through a wider consideration of Blockchains in construction projects we focus on the design process and validate our framework with a prototype of BIM design optimisation integrated with a Blockchain mechanism. The paper concludes by outlining the contributions our framework can enhance in the building information modelling processes, within the context of the fourth industrial revolution.

title	Designing Crowd Safety - Agent-Based Pedestrian Simulations in the Early,Collaborative Design Stages
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.2.729

summary	Contemporary agent-based pedestrian simulations offer great potential to evaluate architectural and urban design proposals in terms of medical risks, crowd safety, and visitor comfort. Nevertheless, due to their relative computational heaviness and complicated input-parameters, pedestrian simulations are not employed during the design process commonly. Simulation results significantly impact planning decisions, especially when they are already available in the early design phases. This paper analyzes the requirements of pedestrian simulations for early planning stages, such as seamless integration into iterative and collaborative design processes, interactivity, and appropriate visualization of results. For this purpose, we combine two existing projects: a high-accuracy pedestrian simulation and the CDP//Collaborative Design Platform. To adapt the simulation method to the requirements of early planning stages, we investigate interactions that blend intuitively with the design process and enable multiple users to interact simultaneously. We simplify simulations input parameters to match the level of detail of the early design phases. The simulation model is adapted to facilitate continuous and spontaneous interactions. Furthermore, we develop visualization techniques to support initial design negotiations and present strategies for compensating computation time and giving constant feedback to a dynamic design process.

title	SECTIONMATRIX - Mapping Urban Form through Urban Sections

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	(Computationally) designing out waste: Developing a computational design workflow for minimising construction and demolition waste in early-stage architectural design
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 4, 594–611
summary	In the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, waste is oft framed as an economic problemtypically addressed in a building’s construction and demolition phase. Yet, architectural design decision-making can significantly determine construction waste outcomes. Following the logic of zero waste, thisresearch addresses waste minimisation‘at the source’. By resituating the problem of construction wastewithin the architectural design process, the research explores waste as a data and informational problem in adesign system. Accordingly, this article outlines the creation of an integrated computational design decisionsupport waste tool that employs a novel data structure combining HTML-scraped material data and historicbuilding information modelling (BIM) data to generate waste evaluations in a browser-based 3D modellingplatform. Designing an accessible construction waste tool for use by architects and designers aims to heightenawareness of the waste implications of design decisions towards challenging the systems of consumption andproduction that generate construction and demolition waste.

summary	Building's spatial structure described in a BIM model can be used for retrieving the information required for determining the shortest path within the building. The matrix method and the visibility method are the two main ways of dividing space into prime factors. Both are widely used to find the shortest path. In order to compare the performance of both methods, several tests were carried out with various versions of the floorplan modification (room area, the surface of internal walls, distance between the entrance, and exit in a straight line and within the boundary marked by walls of the maze). The results revealed significant differences between the visibility graph and the matrix method.

title	BIM quality control based on requirement linked data
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 3, 431–448
summary	This article discusses a BIM Quality Control Ecosystem that is based on Requirement Linked Data in order to create a framework where automated BIM compliance checking methods can be widely used. The meaning of requirements is analyzed in a building project context as a basis for data flow analysis: what are the main types of requirements, how they are handled, and what sources they originate from. A literature review has been conducted to find the present development directions in quality checking, besides a market research on present, already widely used solutions. With the conclusions of these research and modern data management theory, the principles of a holistic approach have been defined for quality checking in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. A comparative analysis has been made on current BIM compliance checking solutions according to our review principles. Based on current practice and ongoing research, a state-of-the-art BIM quality control ecosystem is proposed that is open, enables automation, promotes interoperability, and leaves the data governing responsibility at the sources of the requirements. In order to facilitate the flow of requirement and quality data, we propose a model for requirements as Linked Data and provide example for quality checking using Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL). As a result, an opportunity is given for better quality and cheaper BIM design methods to be implemented in the industry.

summary	Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) envisions a possible alternative for predominantly manual construction with various benefits. In addition to the well-known extrusion-based implementations of AMC, other techniques have been developed to meet various visual and functional requirement. However, the application of Additive Manufacturing (AM) into construction projects has to be carefully evaluated, especially during the early phases of architectural design when important decisions are made. From this point, this work devised an AMC-Oriented Design Decision Support System (DDSS) to identify suitable building components which can be manufactured with specific AM methods. In such a DDSS, knowledge base and decision-making strategy are both critical. To this end, principle of leveraging Semantic Web techniques and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodologies will be addressed. At the current stage of our research, pre-printed building components using concrete material are considered during the decision support process.

title	Interoperability Between Agisoft Metashape and Autodesk Revit Software

summary	The 3D digital mapping to create models (Mesh) contributes to the documentation of the architectural heritage, by the accuracy of the details achieved. The documentation through Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies is a current strategy to digitize the as-built information. Despite the potential for integrated use of these technologies, interoperability between them presents a gap involving complexity and operability in the work process. This research aims to investigate the interface and communication capabilities between Mesh models, generated by photogrammetry, and a BIM model, through the interoperability between Agisoft Metashape and Autodesk Revit software. By analyzing a new format for heritage documentation through digital technologies, using as object of study the façade of the Centro de Divulgaçao Científica e Cultural (CDCC-USP) in Sao Carlos, the results show that the joint use of technologies does not present great losses of information, unlike the techniques that are currently used.

title	Integration of Algorithm-Based Optimization into the Design Process of Industrial Buildings: A Case Study
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_17
source	Proceedings of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES The 3rd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2021)
summary	Algorithm-based optimization is widely applied in many fields like industrial production, resulting in state-of-the-art workflows in the production process optimization. This project takes the cultural lag of conventional industrial architecture design as a motivation to investigate the implementation of algorithmbased optimization into traditional design processes. We argue that an enhanced way of architectural decision-making is possible. Current approaches use a translation of the whole design problem into a single, overly complicated optimization system. Contrary to that, this paper presents a novel workflow that defines precise design steps and applies optimizations only if suitable. Furthermore, this method can generate relevant results for factory planning design problems with contradicting factors, making it a promising approach for the complex challenges of i.e. resource-efficient building.

summary	The Adaptive Solar Façade (ASF) as an integrated dynamic and flexible building facade could be a hopeful design tool to provide residents comfort and energy efficiency by applying relevant integrated parametric design. Based on that, in this study, we investigated a designing process and optimization of ASF concentrating on providing the visual comfort and energy efficiency. We start with an extended summary of previous studies which has been done for developing a dynamic system correspond to origami and butterfly wings. Afterwards, we design 10 movement patterns for façade at the next stage, we simulate the Illuminance uniformity distribution and amount of energy consumption in the interior area. It should be noted that this simulation is done hourly. Therefore, 52 base models were investigated in Hamedan without using intelligent façade. It should be considered that these models are offices and they are investigated in the cold tundra in four days of the year between 6 A.M. to 6 P.M. Afterwards, 520 façade affected proposed models simulated for comparing to the base model. We have done the latter simulation using Colibri plugin while it optimized linearly. All of the datasets have been processed in an algorithm circulation for analyzing the simulations results.
