summary	The paper presents a blueprint of a simulation model and structures the processing of information that sensors in real life would provide to improve the efficiency of the cooling system and increase the thermal comfort of occupants in an outdoor environment. It outlines an evidence-based technique for evaluating perceived benefits that would arise from the introduction of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Computational Techniques (CTs) to evaporative cooling systems. The initial results indicate how data that would be gathered by sensory devices on occupancy and microclimatic conditions can be employed for the prediction and optimisation of the system to narrow the time gap between peak usage and nozzle activation to minimise resource use and maximise occupants' comfort. The larger objective of the study to help mitigate the effects of rising temperatures in urban environments and support the future use of outdoor public spaces. In the longer run, the study aims to explore the role of computationally enhanced microclimate control at a large scale, integral to innovative approaches to outdoor public spaces design.

summary	This article presents a didactic experience carried out with the use of a BIM tool in the Thermal Environmental Comfort discipline of the graduate course in Architecture and Urbanism of a private Higher Education Institution in the city of Salvador-Bahia. Starting in 2020, students began designing solar protection devices using a geometric model in Revit. The method described in Annex I of the Technical Regulation on the Quality of Energy Efficiency Level in Residential Buildings (RTQ-R) was applied. The results obtained showed a better understanding by the students about the importance of correctly sizing solar protection devices for different orientations.

title	Human Behavior Simulations to Determine Best Strategies for Reducing COVID-19 Risk in Schools
source	Herrera, PC, Dreifuss-Serrano, C, Gómez, P, Arris-Calderon, LF, Critical Appropriations - Proceedings of the XXVI Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi 2022), Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, Lima, 7-11 November 2022 , pp. 39–50
summary	The dynamics of COVID-19 spread have been studied from an epidemiological perspective, at city, country, and global scales (Rabajante, 2020, Ma, 2020, and Giuliani et al., 2020), although after two years of the pandemic we know that viruses spread mostly through built environments. This study is part of the Spatiotemporal Modeling of COVID-19 spread in buildings research (Gomez, Hadi, and Kemenova et al., 2020 and 2021), which proposes a multidimensional model that integrates spatial configurations, temporal use of spaces, and virus characteristics into one multidimensional model. This paper presents a specific branch of this model that analyzes the behavioral parameters, such as vaccination, masking, and mRNA booster rates, and compares them to reducing room occupancy. We focused on human behavior, specifically human interactions within six feet. We utilized the multipurpose simulation software, AnyLogic, to quantify individual exposure to the virus, in the high school building by Perkins and Will. The results show how the most effective solution, reducing the occupancy rates or redesigning layouts, being the most impractical one, is as effective as 80% of the population getting a third boost.

title	Architecture and Context: A Data-based Approach to Optimize Climate Performance of Built Facades
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. 1139–1150
summary	The present research stems from a critical reflection about the environmental adaptability of existing building envelopes. The main goal is to explore how to balance environmental optimization with contextual constraints, using modularity, flexibility and mass customization as guiding principles. An application study was carried out with the development of a second skin proposal aligned with the use and context of the building under study. For this purpose, simulations that assess environmental conditions were developed within a visual programming tool, not only feeding the design process with essential information, but also providing a flexible creative process. Results show that such simulations allow the designer to interpret these studies more accurately, reducing the iterative guesswork, since in this workflow it is possible to transform these outputs into proposition parameters for new designs or interventions.

summary	Technological advancements throughout the industrial era have created more efficient, more economical, and safer machines to aid – and often replace – human operations, continually altering our ways of knowledge and world making. Each industrial advancement radically changes social, political, economic, environmental, and even linguistic conditions. Currently upon us is artificial intelligence (AI); machine to human and machine to machine communications. Our investigation examines AI as a creative tool, instead of a machine for industry. Recent advancements in natural language processing have made artificially intelligent machines, specifi cally Generative Pretrained Transformers (GPT), a potential active partici- pant in a creative computational discourse. Our particular interest in GPT, and the core of this project, explores the role of language in machine learning and the role of the author and editor within a continually expanding network of agents in the construction of our collective environments.

summary	Several research projects (Gramazio et al. 2014; Willmann et al. 2015; Helm et al. 2017; Adel et al. 2018; Adel Ahmadian 2020) have investigated the use of automated assembly technologies (e.g., industrial robotic arms) for the fabrication of nonstandard timber structures. Building on these projects, we present a novel and transferable process for the robotic fabrication of bespoke timber subassemblies made of off-the-shelf standard timber elements. A nonstandard timber structure (Figure 2), consisting of four bespoke subassemblies: three vertical supports and a Zollinger (Allen 1999) roof structure, acts as the case study for the research and validates the feasibility of the proposed process.

title	Drawing-to-Factory Process - Using freehand drawing to drive robotic assembly of brick walls
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. 189-194
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.1.189
summary	The developments of digital technology applied to architecture in the recent decades has allowed for direct communication from the studio to fabrication. However, this process is typically dependent on complicated computational processes, enlarging the distance from the benefits of the traditional drawing approaches employed by architects. This research intends to explore possibilities of reenacting the drawing as a means of computational generative design which feeds automated systems of construction. By using a Cobot directed by an algorithm which reads a simple drawn curve on paper, an automated brick wall is built, as demonstrated in two exhibitions. This mixed approach allows for technology in architectural design and construction to be more accessible to a wider audience, while blurring the boundaries between concept and materialization.

title	Quantification of Effective Temporal Exposure to Daylight Illuminance Levels in Healthcare Settings
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. 315–326
summary	The purpose of this study is the quantification of the exposure of occupants to daylight illuminance levels. The case study is the typical floor of a patient tower occupied by nurses in twelve hours shifts, from 7 am to 7 pm. Significant evidence exists regarding the positive impact of access to daylight on staff outcomes in healthcare facilities in terms of reduction of stress, absenteeism, medication errors, and burn outs. However, the standard daylight simulation methods evaluate the building and do not capture the dynamic nature of people’s behavior while moving through the space. The proposed approach combines agent-based simulation and daylight performance analysis to compute the occupants’ exposure to daylight levels throughout the year. The results show the discrepancies between building-centric and human-centric types of analysis and the contribution of dynamic simulation methods to design occupancy schedules to warranty equitable access to daylight to building occupants.

title	Iris Diaphragm Mechanism Application for Daylighting Control
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. 505-514
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.1.505
summary	Daylight is an important factor in interior design. The benefits can be seen in reduced need for heating and artificial lighting, while the caveats are visual hindrance, glare, thermal discomfort and increased energy for cooling. The industry standard way of controlling daylighting is with roller blinds, venetian blinds, curtains, static and automated façades which do not allow sufficient control over daylight. The aim of this paper is to explore the potential of using circular modules with the iris diaphragm mechanism as a system for controlling the daylight amount, similar to the approach used on Arab World Institute. Circular module that are proposed in the paper consists of an outer casing, inner rotational and stationary rings and blades. A parametric iris model is generated and optimized to conform to the criteria of having the smallest casing, thinnest blades and the least amount of blades to decrease fabrication and assembly time. The circular module is applied in three layouts on a rectangular opening to calculate the efficiency in daylighting control. Obtained results show significant increase in systems flexibility and performance compared to the closest implementation in the south façade of the Arab World Institute.

title	From Physiology to Architecture - The methodology for interactive architecture behavior design
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. 195-204
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.1.195
summary	Interactive architectural design is a booming topic in current architectural research, which requires thinking about how to realize buildings provide various spatial services according to users' needs. In the human-building interaction (HBI) design, the architectural behavior design plays as one of the most relevant and essential parts of architectural space design. HBI design requires the establishment of a standard behavioral language system for architecture and people. Therefore, this paper proposes that the design of architectural behavior can mimic human behavior at the physiological level, thus making it easier for people to understand the behavior of architecture. The paper systematically analyzes the design methods and design routes to build muscular and glandular systems for architecture through some case studies.

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	Beyond typologies, beyond optimization: Exploring novel structural forms at the interface of human and machine intelligence
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 3, 466–490
summary	This article presents a computer-aided design framework for the generation of non-standard structural forms in static equilibrium that takes advantage of the interaction between human and machine intelligence. The design framework relies on the implementation of a series of operations (generation, clustering, evaluation, selection, and regeneration) that allow to create multiple design options and to navigate in the design space according to objective and subjective criteria defined by the human designer. Through the interaction between human and machine intelligence, the machine can learn the nonlinear correlation between the design inputs and the design outputs preferred by the human designer and generate new options by itself. In addition, the machine can provide insights into the structural performance of the generated structural forms. Within the proposed framework, three main algorithms are used: Combinatorial Equilibrium Modeling for generating of structural forms in static equilibrium as design options, Self-Organizing Map for clustering the generated design options, and Gradient-Boosted Trees for classifying the design options. These algorithms are combined with the ability of human designers to evaluate non-quantifiable aspects of the design. To test the proposed framework in a real-world design scenario, the design of a stadium roof is presented as a case study.

summary	The integration of Artificial Intelligence algorithms into computational design processes promote a human-machine collaboration, transforming the role of conventional designers into meta-designer as a product of this collaboration. Specifically, StyleGAN's algorithms offer a novel approach to experimenting with shapes from previously designed images of products or objects. This article presents the application of a methodology for image experimentation to designers without previous knowledge of computation and programming. Each of the steps was developed through different cases for different speculative object production, using artificial intelligence algorithms, and reflecting - in an applied way - the designer's role as curator and co- creator of the creative process in conjunction with computing.

title	A Generative Approach to Social Ecologies in Project [Symbios]City

doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_2
summary	The following paper talks about the studio project [Symbios]City, which is developed as a design research project in 2020–2021 Schumacher’ studio on social ecology of the graduate program in Architectural Association’s design research lab. The project aims to create an assemblage of social ecologies through a rich but cohesive multi-authored urban district. The primary ambition is to generate an urban area with a characterful, varied identity, that achieves a balanced order between unity and difference avoiding both the sterile and disorienting monotony of centrally planned modernist cities and the (equally disorienting) visual chaos of an agglomeration of utterly unrelated interventions as we find now frequently. Through a thorough research process, our project evolves mainly out of three principles that are taken into consideration for the development of our project: topological optimization, phenomenology, and ecology. By “ecology”, we understand it as a living network of information exchange. Therefore, every strategy we employ is not merely about reacting to the weather conditions, but instead it is an inquiry into the various ways we can exploit the latter, a translation of the weather conditions into spatial and programmatic properties. [Symbios]City therefore aims at developing a multi-authored urban area with a rich identity that achieves a balance between the various elements. [Symbios]City began formally from topological optimization, developed based on studies on ecology, and concluded the design following our phenomenological explorations, aiming at a complex design project that unifies the perception of all scales of design: from the platform to the skyscrapers.

summary	PX01-Switch is a research investigation based on an internationally filed patent by the author, focused on human-robot interaction and robotic control/motion in the field of design (Poustinchi, E. 2020). Using hardware solutions, PX01-Switch enables users—with limited or no programming background, to convert any simple or complicated “offline” developed robotic operations for KUKA robots, to realtime online operational strategies without needing any additional software package or coding knowledge. Operating as a hardware plug-in, PX01-Switch—as a device, can be added to any KUKA robot with the 4th generation controller—KRC4, regardless of the robot's type and payload. PX01-Switch aims to make realtime robotic interaction more accessible to general users, by simplifying some of the advanced programming aspects of the process, at the cost of reducing the operation/interaction resolution.

Denver. 26-28 October 2023. edited by A. Crawford, N. Diniz, R. Beckett, J. Vanucchi, M. Swackhamer 220-225.
summary	Previous research projects (Adel, Agustynowicz, and Wehrle 2021; Adel Ahmadian 2020; Craney and Adel 2020; Adel et al. 2018; Apolinarska et al. 2016; Helm et al. 2017; Willmann et al. 2015; Oesterle 2009) have explored the use of comprehensive digital design-to-fabrication workflows for the construction of nonstandard timber structures employing robotic assembly technologies. More recently, the Robotically Fabricated Structure (RFS), a bespoke outdoor timber pavilion, demonstrated the potential for highly articulated timber architecture using short timber elements and human-robot collaborative assembly (HRCA) (Adel 2022). In the developed HRCA process, a human operator and a human fabricator work alongside industrial robotic arms in a shared working environment, enabling collaborative fabrication approaches. Building upon this research, we present an exploration adapting HRCA to nail-laminated timber (NLT) fabrication, demonstrated through a case study exhibition (Figures 1 and 2).

summary	Over the past 13 years, the 'World16'-group has collaborated face-to-face on various challenges that architectural design faces within VR, architecture, urban design, and its delivery to the professional industries. The focus of the collaboration is to foster pathways of academic research and developments to industries and professions. In 2020, due to the restrictions of the pandemic, the group had to rethink and redevelop how to collaborate meaningfully and become resilient: the World16 collaborated akin to the Virtual Design Studios (VDS) of the Nineties for the first time exclusively virtually becoming the 'Virtual World16'. The paper presents the group's various projects that are transformative to the praxis in VR architecture, design and urban design, and critically reflects on the lessons learned from VDS-paradigm.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.2.095
summary	This paper presents experimental research about using Augmented Reality (AR) for interactive design processes, exploring a spatial "live" design method taking place in an overlay of real space and digital models. It discusses the processes and outcomes of a seminar undertaken at Graz University of Technology in winter term 2020/2021. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the course was taught online, and conceptualized to allow students the biggest possible learning experience during the lockdown. Ensuring accessibility to all participants, the seminar was based on the use of ubiquitous devices. The implementation of newly developed software, such as "Fologram", enabled the students to use AR systems at home with their personal computers and smartphones. The task of the course was to design customized interventions for the students' own domestic spaces, reacting to changing conditions and needs during the lockdown. The employed workflow was driven by an instant connection between 3D-modeling (Rhinoceros3D), parametric design (Grasshopper) and holographic immersion (Fologram).

summary	We present a framework for data-driven algorithmic generation and post-evaluation of alternative urban developments. These urban developments are framed by a strategic placement of diverse urban typologies whose spatial configurations follow design recommendations outlined in existing building and zoning regulations. By using specific rule-based generative algorithms, different spatial arrangements of these urban typologies, forming building blocks, are derived and visualized, given the aforementioned spatial, legal, and functional regulations. Once the envisioned urban configurations are generated, these are evaluated based on a number of aspects pertaining to spatial, economic, and thermal (environmental) dimensions, which are understood as the key performance indicators (KPIs) selected for informed ranking and evaluation. To facilitate the analysis and data-driven ranking of derived numeric KPIs, we deployed a diverse set of analytical techniques (e.g., conditional selection, regression models) enriched with visual interactive mechanisms, otherwise known as the Visual Analytics (VA) approach. The proposed approach has been tested on a case study district in the city of Vienna, Austria, offering real-world design solutions and assessments.
