summary	Microalgae are a sustainable source of unique properties with potential for various applications. Biofuel production has led to the use of them as bioreactors on an architectural scale. Most of these efforts cannot manage the output due to the lack of intelligent control and monitoring over environmental micro-scale growth. This research presents the possibility of control and monitoring over the bio-energy retrieved through micro-organisms in bio-reactors, specifically the growth environments computation. To achieve monitoring, three dimensions of the medium culture captured by cameras, and with the advantage of image processing, the picture frames pixel values measured. In this process, we use the Python OpenCV Library as an image processing reference. Finally, a specifically developed algorithm analyses the calculated 3d-matrix. By changing the environmental parameters, control happens by directly recognizing changes in density and outputs. This researchs computational process has proposed a novel approach for controlling particle-based environments to reach the desired functions of microorganisms, This approach can use in a wide range of cases as a method.

title	Dynamic Interscalar Methods for Adaptive Design Futures
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. 41–53
summary	This paper addresses our current environmental and political climate directly, disseminating work from a research-based, upper-level architecture studio located at the border of Mexico and the United States. Dynamic digital tools and methods were developed to connect multiple scales of spatialized data. Additional field tools, including electromagnetic field (EMF) meters, environmental sensors, and micro-photography, enabled real-time dynamics to be combined with photogrammetry, satellite and GIS data. The selected outcomes utilize the methodological framework in different ways. Three presiding significant outcomes demonstrated from this work include: 1) micro-macro scale inquiry through spatio-temporal data collection and fieldwork; 2) parametric digital tools for emergent design optimization linking natural and artificial systems; and 3) human-machine-nature interactions for cultural awareness, participation, and activism. Collectively, these three functions of the methodology shift practice towards an alter-disciplinary logic to enable adaptive design outcomes that are responsive to a range of issues presented through site-specific climate change dynamics.

title	Imprimer La Lumiere – 3D Printing Bioluminescence for Architectural Materiality
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_28
source	Proceedings of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES The 3rd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2021)
summary	‘Imprimer la Lumi?re’ examines the making of a bioluminescent micro architecture. The project positions itself inside a sustainability agenda. By exploring the use of light-emitting bacteria as a material for architecture it asks what are the concepts, methods and technologies needed for designing with living materials. The project devises new means by which to design with the luminescent vibrio fischeri bacteria in a 3D printing manufacturing process based on extrusion principles. By combining the study of these living organisms and their appropriation through advanced robot-controlled 3D printing technologies, we establish a conceptual, material and technological framework for a bio-controlled bacteria growth and 3D extrusion process and a printable material based on agarose and gelatine.

title	Bio Scaffolds
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_29
source	Proceedings of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES The 3rd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2021)
summary	‘Bio Scaffolds’ explores a series of design tectonics that emerge from a co-creation between human, machine and natural intelligences. This research establishes an integral connection between form and materiality by enabling biological materials to become a co-creator within the design and fabrication process. In this research paper, we explore a hybrid between architectural aesthetics and biological agency by choreographing natural growth through form. ‘Bio Scaffolds’ explores a series of 3D printed biodegradable scaffolds that orchestrate both Mycelia growth and degradation through form. A robotic arm is introduced into the system that can respond to the organism’s natural behavior by injecting additional Mycelium culture into a series of sacrificial frameworks. Equipped with computer vision systems, feedback controls, scanning processes and a multi-functional endeffector, the machine tends to nature by reacting to its patterns of growth, moisture, and color variation. Using this cybernetic intelligence, developed between human, machine, and Mycelium, our intention is to generate unexpected structural and morphological forms that are represented via a series of 3D printed Mycelium enclosures. ‘Bio Scaffolds’ explores an interplay between biological and computational complexity through non anthropocentric micro habitats.

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. 203–215
summary	Designers are increasingly challenged by a constant change of context and the interaction of layers of data from a huge variety of sources, from natural-artificial to human-machine. This research aims at mapping the interrelations of energy problems, bio- and artificial intelligence, and human-machine interaction to reflect and rethink the future of solar design. This paper first discusses its theoretical approach that stands at the convergence of light-harvesting systems, their aggregation and intelligence. Afterwhich, this paper explores their translation into iterative processes between designer and artificial intelligences, which is defined as rule/agent-based and machine learning systems; in particular, the relationship between Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithm, and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is discussed. Finally, it introduces a design project - @R.E.Ar_ - showing the proposed combinatorial pipeline and some preliminary results.

title	Bio-Tile: An Intelligent Hybrid-Infrastructure
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_8
source	Proceedings of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES The 3rd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2021)
summary	Bio-tile is a multipurpose artifact designed for protecting the coastline from erosion while creating a landscape element and an architectural experience for visitors. Bio-tile performs as a mitigation strategy to slow down erosion while promoting biodiversity. This paper describes the methodology used to develop the bio-tile as the nexus between digital and environmental for resolving coastline challenges through material tectonics. A non-linear algorithm and nature’s inherent code are used to develop the Bio-tile, a nature-based hybrid infrastructure. This approach aims to generate a performance-oriented design by using emergence theory to construct shoreline elements adaptive to climatic conditions.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.493

summary	Desertification has made large productive landscapes in the South-west Thar desert redundant, subjected people to migration and induced a constant influx of sand into the region (Singhvi and Amal, 2014). The abundance of sand creates an opportunity to adopt an existing technique, Bio-mineralisation, to develop a sand based composite material which, when treated with a construction binder like sodium alginate, can be used for engineering purposes. The paper sets a theoretical framework to develop a fabrication mechanism with microbial-grout injections and propose the development of in-dune/underground assembly of habitable spaces. Each of the sub-components of material system, fabrication mechanism and In-dune structures are detailed, and evaluated to devise a hierarchy between them. Their interdependencies together inform design strategies, a phasing plan and global time scale for overall terrain transformation.

summary	This essay aims to explore an architecture computational design intended to accept and absorb moisture through geometrical and material conditions, and using design strategies, help deliver this moisture upwards through capillary action to areas of cryptogamic growth including mosses and smaller ferns on the surface of architecture. The purpose of this research project is to explore the morphology of general capillary systems based on research into the principle of xylematic structures in trees, thereby creating a range of capillary designs using three types of material: plaster, 3D print plastic, and concrete. In addition, computational studies are used to examine various types of computational designs of organic structures, such as columns, driven by physical and environmental conditions such as sunshine, shade, tides and other biological processes to explore three-dimensional particle-based branching systems that define both structural and water delivery paths.

summary	Bacterial cellulose is a bio self-assembled organic material with unique features such as great tensile strength, biodegradability, and renewable potential that has made it worthwhile for different fields of industrial development research. Since the past decade, in the field of architecture also, enormous efforts were done to reach the desired guided shape of bacterial cellulose with optimized structural features. However, all these efforts are in their infancy. To reach the adaptive architectural bio-component, we need something beyond static prototyping. Therefore, we investigate the specific type "Bacterium Glucoacetobacter xylinus(BC)" cellulose growth procedure by syncing the culture medium (cellulose growth environment) to a virtual stimulating environment to introduce the computational architectural design process based on dynamic biological structures. This research presents the smart design process via the syncing of CAD environment and growth environment to create a framework that provides data analysis that the implementation of its outcomes can revolutionize the bio-digital fabrication process.

title	An Autonomous Bio-Inspired Shading Façade System based on Plant Movement Principles
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.2.463

summary	Utilizing existing principles of plant movement, we can design climatic-responsive facades made of hygroscopic materials. This paper investigates the use of a double actuating system to create an architectural façade. Several adaptive façade strategies have been previously developed using wood bilayers, but there has not been significant investigation into the application of multiple actuation points in a single unit. The paper presents a façade that is responsive to the surrounding environment via the kinematic amplification of hygroscopic wood expansion. The kinematic amplification uses the biomechanical principles from both the Water Lily (Nymphaea) and the Purple Shamrock (Oxalis triangularis). Acting as an adaptive shading mechanism, the façade system - arranged using Lindenmayer system principles - can improve occupant comfort by controlling solar radiation . The developed prototypes use climate-responsive wood bilayer actuators. The aesthetic and functional features of the bio-inspired mechanism promote a visual awareness between our built environment and environmental conditions.

title	Bioreceptive Parameters for Additive Manufacturing of Clay based Composites

summary	Due to climate change and the problematic amount of waste and CO2 emissions in the construction industry, non-human organisms and sustainable solutions are key motivators of the study. This paper focuses on developing a bioreceptive (Guillitte, 1995) composite suitable for additive manufacturing, composed to support growth of various organisms. It investigates key properties which have shown to be beneficial for promoting biological growth, such as water absorption, water permeability, humidity, and surface texture. The study evaluates the effect of two groups of clay-based waste additives, wooden sawdust (Arslan, et al., 2021) and sediment material sourced from local tunnel excavation in Prague. Simultaneously the need for intelligent reintegration and waste use is prevalent. Additive fabrication offers the ability to test a variety of composites and (re-)integrate them into the manufacturing processes. Current approach explores how to design artificial environments/skins for greenery and small life with the potential to improve both diversity and survivability while maintaining a better climate in its immediate surroundings. Bioreceptive design has the potential to improve the quality of the urban environment and bring new aesthetic influences into it (Cruz and Beckett 2016, p. 51-64).

summary	As a design research project, this paper aims to provide a novel surface geometry design and fabrication strategy. As the foundation, this paper discusses and investigates the deformation mechanism and geometric features of cellular epithelial tissues, especially the generation of the newly discovered scutoid shape. Subsequently, we utilize the mechanism to design and fabricate programmable physical surface geometry that can change shape autonomously based on external stimulation. We summarize the work we have conducted thus far into two aspects: First, inspired by the deformation mechanism of epithelial cells we propose a new design strategy for generating complex surface geometry from transformable individual units; Second, we also develop a new 4d printing method, which allows the surface geometry to be programmed on demand and to emulate the generative and bio-inspired design model analogically.

title	Additive Manufacture of Cellulose Based Bio-Material on Architectural Scale
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_27
source	Proceedings of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES The 3rd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2021)
summary	There are severe environmental and ecological issues once we evaluate the architecture industry with LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), such as emission of CO2 caused by necessary high temperature for producing cement and significant amounts of Construction Demolition Waste (CDW) in deteriorated and obsolete buildings. One of the ways to solve these problems is Bio-Material. CELLULOSE and CHITON is the 1st and 2nd abundant substance in nature (Duro-Royo, J.: Aguahoja_ProgrammableWater-based Biocomposites for Digital Design and Fabrication across Scales. MIT, pp. 1–3 (2019)), which means significantly potential for architectural dimension production. Meanwhile, renewability and biodegradability make it more conducive to the current problem of construction pollution. The purpose of this study is to explore Cellulose Based Biomaterial and bring it into architectural scale additive manufacture that engages with performance in the material development, with respect to time of solidification and control of shrinkage, as well as offering mechanical strength. At present, the experiments have proved the possibility of developing a cellulose-chitosan- based composite into 3D-Printing Construction Material (Sanandiya, N.D., Vijay, Y., Dimopoulou, M., Dritsas, S., Fernandez, J.G.: Large-scale additive manufacturing with bioinspired cellulosic materials. Sci. Rep. 8(1), 1–5 (2018)). Moreover, The research shows that the characteristics (Such as waterproof, bending, compression, tensile, transparency) of the composite can be enhanced by different additives (such as xanthan gum, paper fiber, flour), which means it can be customized into various architectural components based on Performance Directional Optimization. This solution has a positive effect on environmental impact reduction and is of great significance in putting the architectural construction industry into a more environment-friendly and smart state.

title	PolyTile 2.0: Programmable microtextured ceramic architectural tiles embedded with environmentally responsive biofunctionality
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 1, 65–85
summary	PolyTile 2.0 interrogates the potential of programmable biofunctionalities in our constructed architectural environmentsthrough the development of advanced ceramic bio-tiles. These tiles utilize novel patterning techniques and hydrogelbiomaterials to tune surface conditions at the micro- and macroscale. This trans-disciplinary work builds upon recentadvancements in the fields of three-dimensional printing, digital ceramics, materials science, bioengineering, chemicalbiology, and architecture. PolyTile 2.0 enables designers and architects to implement biofunctionality and microscalepatterning fittingly and with the ability to continuously adjust design iterations across scales. The refinement utilizesglazing strategies as a directable fluidic device and biocompatible hydrogels as a sensing platform to further developmentsin responsive built environments. This article outlines methods for the production of bulk-scale hydrogel materials,stereolithography-based three-dimensional printed ceramic tiles, and scalable glazing techniques, which bring building-scale application of this technology to the foreground.

title	Computational screening-LCA tools for early design stages
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 1, 6–22
summary	Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been widely adopted to identify the Global Warming Potential (GWP) in the construction industry and determine its high environmental impact through Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, energy and resource consumptions. The consideration of LCA in the early stages of design is becoming increasingly important as a means to avoid costly changes at later stages of the project. However, typical LCA-based tools demand very detailed information about structural and material systems and thus become too laborious for designers in the conceptual stages, where such specifications are still loosely defined. In response, this paper presents a workflow for LCA-based evaluation where the selection of the construction system and material is kept open to compare the impacts of alternative design variants. We achieve this through a strict division into support and infill systems and a simplified visualization of a schematic floor layout using a shoebox approach, inspired from the energy modelling domain. The shoeboxes in our case are repeatable modules within a schematic floor plan layout, whose enclosures are defined by parametric 2D surfaces representing total ratios of permanent supports versus infill components. Thus, the assembly of modular surface enclosures simplifies the LCA evaluation process by avoiding the need to accurately specify the physical properties of each building component across the floor plan. The presented workflow facilitates the selection of alternative structural systems and materials for their comparison, and outputs the Global Warming Potential (GWP) in the form of an intuitive visualization output. The workflow for simplified evaluation is illustrated through a case study that compares the GWP for selected combinations of material choice and construction systems.

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.

summary	Nowadays, due to the increasing demand for sustainable design and energy efficient buildings, “performance” is becoming a key parameter behind design decisions. Traditional design methods may be insufficient in both evaluating the energy performance and producing optimized design alternatives, as well as in understanding the relationship between design variables and performance metrics. Recently, via parametric design tools and optimization algorithms, a wide range of design methods have been formed and various performance data have been measured and optimized. In this context, this study offers a design approach to integrate sustainability principles and physical environmental conditions into the design process as a quantifiable parameter used to improve building performance. Further, this study aims to design a facade and its modules based on environmental conditions in Istanbul, Turkey. The design process focuses on daylight radiation and the analysis of environmental data using a digital model. Rhino and Grasshopper software was used as the digital medium for design and Ladybug-Honeybee plugins were utilized in the analysis. Based on Istanbul’s weather data obtained from Ladybug, optimization of the model consisting of the first diagrams was achieved during the environmental analysis process. The model underwent the analysis process created for facade panelization and the panelization process was carried out according to daylight radiation. After the design process is completed, the model will be ready for production for the 3d printed model. As a result of the study, a discussion developed on how to integrate precast concrete panels into the design of complex geometrical surfaces using computational design techniques.

summary	In response to pandemic-related social distancing measures, this paper presents a computational model for simulating resident congestion in Singapores migrant worker dormitories. The model is presented as a tool for supporting evidence-based building design and management. In contrast to agent-based or network-based building analysis, we demonstrate a method for implementing a schedule-based building simulation. In this paper we present the key functions and outputs of the computational model as well as results from analysis of a case study and its design variants. Learnings on the comparative advantages of schedule modification versus physical design modification in assisting social distancing are presented in a discussion section. In the conclusion section we consider applications of our learnings to other dense institutional buildings and future directions for evidence-based design for resilient buildings.

summary	Architecture has a substantial influence worldwide as it shapes our cities, and it is made to last. Urban areas are also responsible for 70% of the world’s carbon emissions. Consequently, architects are responsible for minimising the destructive effects of construction on the environment. How can biological intelligence be inserted in architecture as a possibility to increase environmental performance? Bio-design goes further than biology-inspired approaches. Biodesign refers to incorporating living organisms as an essential component of a system, changing the natural and built environment boundaries. It contains living and machine intelligence, whether embedded in the design process or in the building itself. This paper seeks to give an overview of bio-design and how it can be seen as a strategy of thinking of new research pathways.

summary	INOCULATED MATTER looks towards new possibilities for designing and making architectural elements with living organisms, upcycled waste, and 3D printing technologies. This research project, which is currently ongoing and has been developed over the past two years, includes a series of multi-scalar mycelium bio-composites, as a means of redefining material, water, and energy in the face of changing scales of manufacturing and resource cycles.
