summary	Current approaches to smart cities have focused on implementing technologies to harvest and analyse data through sensors and artificial intelligence to improve urban performance from the top-down. However, cities are complex systems of interconnected layers that change at different speeds. More persistent layers, like networks and occupation, must have smartness embedded in them through smarter design processes. In recent years, there has been an increase in digital tools for urban design, applying computational design methods and data analytics strategies, enabling collaborative and evidence-based approaches that support sustainable urban design. A critical evaluation of their potential to inform design is necessary to aid practitioners to choose and adopt these novel strategies and tools in practice. This paper presents a critical review of selected data-driven design cloud platforms, focusing on data-driven urban design approaches that can enable the use of ICTs to steer cities into a smarter future from the bottom-up.

title	An Extended Reality Collaborative Design System
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2021.212
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].

summary	This paper presents a new system that enables an eXtended Reality (XR) collaborative design review process, by augmenting an existing physical mockup or environment with virtual models at 1:1 scale in-situ. By using this new hybrid approach, existing context can be extended with minimal or no base physical structure through a simulated VR/AR environment to facilitate stakeholder design collaboration in a manner that was previously either cost prohibitive or technically unfeasible. Through combining real and virtual in this way, the sense of realism can be enhanced, increasing engagement and participation in the design process. An approach to apply AR/VR to uncontrolled environments is described, allowing it to overcome challenges such as tracking and mapping, and allowing users to walk around freely in-situ. Two examples are presented where the system has been used in live project environments, one as a design tool for client review and engagement, and the other as part of a public planning process.

title	Investigating Computational Methods and Strategies to Reduce Construction and Demolition Waste in Preliminary Design
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.1.325

summary	The waste produced in construction and demolition presents social, economic, and environmental challenges on a global scale. Research suggests that effective decision-making mechanisms are needed during preliminary design stages to minimise the production of waste. In early research, we presented a beta version of a waste reduction tool which is now in need of a User Experience (UX) and Interaction Experience (IX) strategy to meet our research aims of (a) supporting architects in making informed decisions and (b) offer general as well a specific design optimisation to reduce waste. Thus in our research, we arrived at a point that required an investigation into computational methods and strategies to meet these aims. While optimisation and decision-making in architecture are often achieved through generative design strategies, we aim to investigate and discuss alternatives. Thus we propose the hypothesis of employing augmented intelligence. The paper presents work in augmented intelligence undertaken outside the architecture discipline and presents our literature review with a discussion and conclusion.

summary	Research in the field of additive manufacturing with concrete has gained enormous momentum in recent years. In practice, the first fully functional and habitable buildings have been realized. While these lighthouse projects have proven the general feasibility of 3D printing in construction, in the future it will be a matter of further expanding the potential of 3D printing, addressing important topics such as functional integration (reinforcement, piping, fasteners), material gradation (load-bearing, insulating) as well as disassembly and reuse. As part of an international competition organized by LafargeHolcim Ltd. and its partners Witteveen & Bos, COBOD and Fondation des Ponts wich focused on realigning a traditionally manufactured residential building to concrete 3D printing technology, a team of students and researchers have developed a concept for a modular, function-integrated panel system for individualized wall and ceiling elements. The system is characterized by the fact that the integrated modular structures are printed flat on the floor and precise connections and structural joints are subtracted while the concrete is still in its green state.

title	We Gain a Lot…But What are We Losing? A Critical Exploration of the Implications of Digital Design Technologies on Sustainable Architecture
source	Abdelmohsen, S, El-Khouly, T, Mallasi, Z and Bennadji, A (eds.), Architecture in the Age of Disruptive Technologies: Transformations and Challenges [9th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings ISBN 978-1-907349-20-1] Cairo (Egypt) [Virtual Conference] 2-4 March 2021, pp. 293-305
summary	In the field of architecture, new technologies are enabling us to promptly simulate, quantify, and compare multitudes of design alternatives and consider an ever more expanding list of environmental and economic parameters within the early design phases of projects. However, architecture today veers further towards non-neutral technologies, changing our culture, introducing new values, and (re)shaping our social ideals. The change of media, from the manual to the digital, has deeply transformed architecture and city design. There is undoubtedly progress, but what are we losing in this automation, virtualization and over-digitalization? Are architects—creators of space, human experience, and cultural capital—starting to occupy the role of technicians? Sustainable architecture is a field that is already experiencing tensions between the quantitative and the qualitative, the optimum and the ethical, and the parametric and haptic methods. Yet the rapidly evolving CAAD technologies overlook many of the non-quantifiable values of these binaries. Gains in speed and efficiency in the design process with the help of parametric design may be challenging the designer’s reflection-in-action process required for critical architecture while ethical, cultural, and human dimensions can hardly be modelled algorithmically. Similarly, computational thinking and digitalization in architectural education, have yet to come to terms with the loss of analogue ways of learning that favour a more diverse and inclusive classroom environment. Instead of keeping the analogue and the haptic practices away from the immaculate realm of CAAD, this paper argues for hybrid technologies that recognize these practices and their value in sustainable design and incorporate them. Film animation, as a branch of architecture’s most expressive means, film, can serve as a paradigm of a feasible disruptive technology, but most importantly, as an indicator of the hybridity between the handmade and the digital and its effectiveness in expressing vital elements of sustainability that are otherwise dismissed.

summary	Rapidly evolving technologies are increasingly shaping our societies as well as our understanding of the discipline of architecture. Computational developments in fields such as machine learning and data mining enable the creation of learning networks that involve architects alongside algorithms in developing new understanding. Such networks are increasingly able to observe current social conditions, plan, decide, act on changing scenarios, learn from the consequences of their actions, and recognize patterns out of complex activity networks. While digital technologies have already enabled architecture to transcend static physical boxes, new challenges of the present and visions for the future continue to call for both innovative responses integrating emerging technologies into experimental architectural practice and their critical reflection. In this process, the capability of adapting to complex social and environmental challenges through learning, prototyping and verifying solution proposals in the context of rapidly shifting realities has become a core challenge to the architecture discipline. Supported by advancing technologies, architects and researchers are creating new frameworks for digital workflows that engage with new challenges in a variety of ways. Learning networks that recognize patterns from massive data, rapid prototyping systems that flexibly iterate innovative physical solutions, and adaptive design methods all contribute to a flexible and networked digital architecture that is able to learn from both past and present to evolve towards a promising vision of the future.

title	ASCAAD 2021: Architecture in the Age of Disruptive Technologies - Transformation and Challenges
source	Architecture in the Age of Disruptive Technologies: Transformations and Challenges [9th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings ISBN 978-1-907349-20-1] Cairo (Egypt) [Virtual Conference] 2-4 March 2021.
summary	The ASCAAD 2021 conference theme addresses the gradual shift in computational design from prototypical morphogenetic-centered associations in the architectural discourse. This imminent shift of focus is increasingly stirring a debate in the architectural community and is provoking a much needed critical questioning of the role of computation in architecture as a sole embodiment and enactment of technical dimensions, into one that rather deliberately pursues and embraces the humanities as an ultimate aspiration. We have encouraged researchers and scholars in the CAAD community to identify relevant visions and challenging aspects such as: from the tangible to the intangible, from the physical to the phenomenological, from mass production to mass customization, from the artifact-centered to the human-centered, and from formalistic top-down approaches to informed bottom-up approaches. A parallel evolving impact in the field of computational design and innovation is the introduction of disruptive technologies which are concurrently transforming practices and businesses. These technologies tend to provoke multiple transformations in terms of processes and workflows, methodologies and strategies, roles and responsibilities, laws and regulations, and consequently formulating diverse emergent modes of design thinking, collaboration, and innovation. Technologies such as mixed reality, cloud computing, robotics, big data, and Internet of Things, are incessantly changing the nature of the profession, inciting novel modes of thinking and rethinking architecture, developing new norms and impacting the future of architectural education. With this booming pace into highly disruptive modes of production, automation, intelligence, and responsiveness comes the need for a revisit of the inseparable relation between technology and the humanities, where it is possible to explore the urgency of a pressing dialogue between the transformative nature of the disruptive on the one hand and the cognitive, the socio-cultural, the authentic, and the behavioral on the other.

title	Affective Computing in Space Design: A Review of Literature of Emotional Comfort Tools and Measurements
source	Abdelmohsen, S, El-Khouly, T, Mallasi, Z and Bennadji, A (eds.), Architecture in the Age of Disruptive Technologies: Transformations and Challenges [9th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings ISBN 978-1-907349-20-1] Cairo (Egypt) [Virtual Conference] 2-4 March 2021, pp. 330-340
summary	Architecture Digital Platforms are capable of creating buildings that provide comfort that meets human thermal, acoustic and visual needs. However, some building technologies can choose the physical energy arena of the building on the expense of the mentioned aspects of human comfort. Nevertheless, aspects like emotional and psychological human comfort exist in limited studies practiced in interior design, or in active design of public spaces and on the landscape and urban scale. It is not mandatory in building design: How different spaces affect humans and what makes an environment stressful or not. Study gathers literature theoretically and categorizes it per topic: 1) Affective computing Introduction and uses, 2) Human responses to different stimulus and environments, 3) Factors that affect humans, 4) Technologies like brain imaging and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) that are used to measure human anxiety levels, as well as blood pressure and other indications on the person’s well-being, and some 5) Case Studies. Affective computing can be an addition to different pre- design analysis made to a project. Different areas of comfort like space dimensions, height, colour and shape can be the start of coding “Human Comfort” analysis software. Study has been restricted to previous research, and can be expanded further to experimentation. Future work aims to code it into Building Information Modelling Software.

title	From Design to the Fabrication of Shellular Funicular Structures
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2021.328
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. 328-339.
summary	Shellular Funicular Structures (SFSs) are single-layer, two-manifold structures with anticlastic curvature, designed in the context of graphic statics. They are considered as efficient structures applicable to many functions on different scales. Due to their complex geometry, design and fabrication of SFSs are quite challenging, limiting their application in large scales. Furthermore, designing these structures for a predefined boundary condition, control, and manipulation of their geometry are not easy tasks. Moreover, fabricating these geometries is mostly possible using additive manufacturing techniques, requiring a lot of supports in the printing process. Cellular funicular structures (CFSs) as strut-based spatial structures can be easily designed and manipulated in the context of graphic statics. This paper introduces a computational algorithm for translating a Cellular Funicular Structure (CFS) to a Shellular Funicular Structure (SFS). Furthermore, it explains a fabrication method to build the structure out of a flat sheet of material using the origami/ kirigami technique as an ideal choice because of its accessibility, processibility, low cost, and applicability to large scales. The paper concludes by displaying a structure that is designed and fabricated using this technique.

summary	Evaluation of design ideas is an important task throughout the life cycle of design development in the AEC industry. It involves multiple stakeholders with diverse backgrounds and interests. However, there is limited computational support which through this collaboration is facilitated, in particular for projects that are complex. Current systems are either highly specialized for designers or configured for a particular purpose or design workflow overlooking other stakeholders' needs. We present our approach to motivating participatory and collaborative design decision-making on alternative solutions as early as possible in the design process. The main principle motivating our approach is giving the stakeholders the control over customizing the data presentation interfaces. We introduce our prototype system D-ART as a collection of customizable web interfaces supporting design data form and performance presentation, feedback input, design solutions comparisons, and feedback compiling and presentation. Finally, we started the evaluation of these interfaces through an expert evaluation process which generally reported positive results. Although the results are not conclusive, they hint towards the need for presenting and compiling feedback back to the designers which will be the main point of our future work.

title	3Dino: Configuration for a Micro-Photogrammetric Survey - Applying Dino-Lite microscope for the digitalization of a cuneiform tablet

summary	Close-range photogrammetry, due to the possibilities offered by the technological evolution of acquisition tools and, above all, the relative original challenges posed to surveyors and the theory of measurements, deserve constant critical attention. The new opportunities to detect and represent reality are mostly focused on historical architecture, referring to consequent orders of magnitude and restitution scales. On the other hand, the formalization of relevant practices for very small objects is not frequently addressed. In recent tests carried out using two Dino-Lite handheld digital microscope models, polarized light digital microscopes generally used in medical and industrial fields, we proved the potential of using these imaging systems also for Cultural Heritage documentation, highlighting, however, some issues related to the depth of field and the consequent acquisition geometry. Therefore, this study aims to solve these problems, increasing the performance of microscopic photogrammetry by optimizing the acquisition procedures with the design of custom accessories for micro-photogrammetry (e.g. a calibrated plate). These developments will be carried out as part of a technology transfer agreement with the Dino-Lite company pointed to codify a protocol for high accuracy photogrammetric documentation of small artefacts.

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. 318-327.
summary	Positioned at the intersection of the computational modes of design and production, this research explains the principles and applications of a novel fabrication-informed geometric system called nesting. Applying the nesting fabrication method, the authors reimage the construction of complex forms by proposing geometric arrangements that lessen material waste and reduce production time, transportation cost, and storage space requirements. Through this method, appearance and performance characteristics are contingent on fabrication constraints and material behavior. In this study, the focus is on developing design rules for this method and investigating the main parameters involved in dividing the global geometry of a complex volume into stackable components when the first component in the stack gives shape to the second. The authors introduce three different strategies for nesting fabrication: 2D, 2.5D, and 3D nesting. Which of these strategies can be used depends on the geometrical needs of the design and available tools and materials. Next, by revisiting different fabrication approaches, the authors introduce readers to the possibility of large-scale objects with considerable overhangs without the need for nearly any temporary support structures. After establishing a workflow starting with the identification of geometric rules of nesting and ending with fabrication limits, this work showcases the proposed workflow through a series of case studies, demonstrating the feasibility of the suggested method and its capacity to integrate production constraints into the design process. Traversing from pragmatic to geometrical concerns, the approach discussed here offers an integrated approach supporting functional, structural, and environmental matters important when turning material, technical, assembly, and transportation systems into geometric parameters.

summary	This paper discusses recent developments on the geometric construction and fabrication techniques associated with large-scale surface disclinations. The basic concept of disclinations recognizes the role of “defects” in the composition of materials, the strategic placement of which shapes the material by inducing curvature from initially planar elements. By acknowledging the relationship between geometry and topology that governs disclination based form-finding and material prototyping, this work consciously explores its potential at the architectural scale. Basic geometric figures and their topological transformations are documented in the context of digital modeling and simulation, fabrication, and a specific material palette. Specifically, this work builds on recent efforts by focusing on three particular areas of investigation; a) enhancing the stability of surface disclinations with a synthetic fibrous layer, b) aggregation via periodic tilings, and c) harnessing snap-through buckling to increase bending stiffness in thin surfaces.

title	Generative systems in the architecture, engineering and construction industry: A systematic review and analysis
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 3, 226–249
summary	Researchers have been extensively exploring the employment of generative systems to support design practices in the architecture, engineering and construction industry since the 1970s. More than half a century passed since the first architecture, engineering and construction industry’s generative systems were developed; researchers have achieved remarkable leaps backed by advances in computing power and algorithms’ capacity. In this article, we present a systematic analysis of the literature published between 2009 and 2019 on the utilization of generative systems in the design practices of the architecture, engineering and construction industry. The present research studies present trends, collaborations and applications of generative systems in the architecture, engineering and construction industry in order to identify existing shortcomings and potential advancements that balance the need for theory development and practical application. It provides insightful observations that are translated into meaningful recommendations for future research necessary to progress the incorporation of generative systems into the design practices of the architecture, engineering and construction industry.

title	A POI-Based Machine Learning Method in Predicting Health
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2021.160

summary	This research aims to explore the quantitative relationship between urban planning decisions and the health status of residents. By modeling the Point of Interest (POI) data and the geographic distribution of health-related outcomes, the research explores the critical factors in urban planning that could influence the health status of residents. It also informs decision-making regarding a healthier built environment and opens up possibilities for other data-driven methods. The data source constitutes two data sets, the POI data from OpenStreetMap, and the PLACES: Local Data for Better Health dataset from CDC. After the data is collected and joined spatially, a machine learning method is used to select the most critical urban features in predicting the health outcomes of residents. Several machine learning models are trained and compared. With the chosen model, the prediction is evaluated on the test dataset and mapped geographically. The relations between factors are explored and interpreted. Finally, to understand the implications for urban design, the impact of modified POI data on the prediction of residents' health status is calculated and compared. This research proves the possibility of predicting resident's health from urban conditions with machine learning methods. The result verifies existing healthy urban design theories from a different perspective. This approach shows vast potential that data could in future assist decision-making to achieve a healthier built environment.

title	Inside the Matrix: Immersive Live Coding for Architectural Design
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 2, 174–189
summary	Algorithmic Design (AD) uses computer programs to describe architectural models. These models are visual by nature and, thus, greatly benefit from immersive visualization. To allow architects to benefit from the advantages of Virtual Reality (VR) within an AD workflow, we propose a new design approach: Live Coding in Virtual Reality (LCVR). LCVR means that the architect programs the design while immersed in it, receiving immediate feedback on the changes applied to the program. In this paper, we discuss the benefits and impacts of such an approach, as well as the most pressing implementation issues, namely the projection of the programming environment onto VR, and the input mechanisms to change the program or parts of it. For each, we offer a critical analysis and comparison of the various solutions available in the context of two different programming paradigms: visual and textual.

title	The Possibilities of Digital Collage as a Representation Language in Contemporary Architecture and Urbanism
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. 547–557
summary	This article approaches the theme of digital collage as a technique of graphic representation in Architecture and Urbanism emerging in cyberculture. The main objective is to highlight the underlying logic of digital collage as a representation language of contemporary architecture and urbanism projects. From a methodological point of view, this article is the result of qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research. In addition to the literature review on collage as an artistic and architectural expression, and its incorporation into digital culture, a study of multiple cases was carried out, taking as empirical object the graphic production of ten architecture and urbanism offices from different parts of the world. Finally, it appears that digital collages are consistent with the hybrid contemporary reality and create new poetics capable of representing the semantic and communicative dimension of architecture and urbanism design.

summary	This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a virtual filter that digitally compensates for age-related changes in color perception. Many elderly people experience declining color perception. Medical studies have been conducted on how elderly peoples lenses affect their color perception. However, digital practical method for improving elderly peoples color perception need to be developed. Subway map is a good example of many elders daily experience. To adapt virtual filters to subway maps colors, standard short-wavelength colors, namely purple and green, were selected for variance independence (VI) because colors with short wavelengths of 400-600 nm on visible light are difficult for elderly people to perceive. Standard color VIs of subway lines and VI transferred to artificial lenses were measured with a spectrophotometer. CIE LAB and RGB; Color value on virtual filter (VD) was analyzed from VI. This virtual filter was developed based on artificial lenses using Dynamo. A visual programming algorithm was developed to adjust the color of a virtual filter through an interface. The results showed that virtual filters can be used to help elderly people detect short-wavelength colors. Therefore, virtual filters should be incorporated into lenses for use by the elderly.

title	Codesign and Digital Technologies: Including the Child in The Playground Design Process in a Pocket
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. 1321–1332
summary	The vast majority of children's environments are planned and organized considering the perceptions of adults. Co-design is an important tool for adding users to design process. The objective of this work is to include children in the design process of a Pocket Park, using methods and tools to support Co-design. The work was structured based on literature review, Focus Group, Culture Maker, Digital Fabrication and Prototyping. Two online synchronous workshops were held with 23 students and 2 primary school teachers. A survey indicated that the collaborative project has a great contribution in the design process of urban spaces. Promotes assertive communication between those involved, welcoming their ideas in a flexible way. It also indicates that Digital Fabrication and Prototyping equipment are important vehicles in the construction of objects that facilitate communication during the design process, such as toys present in children's daily lives. Finally, there was a rich exchange of information and learning during the design process.
