summary	This research investigates gaming as a framework for design democratization in architecture, where the end user is the key decisionmaker in the design process. ARchitect is a multisensory game that promotes and explores the educational aspects of learning games and their influence on end user engagement with house co-design. This combinatorial game relies on an augmented reality (AR) application accessible through a smartphone, serving as a low-threshold tool for converting architectural drawings into 3D models in real time and using AR technology for design evaluation. By allowing for learning through playing, ARchitect provides alternative ways of gaining knowledge about design and architecture and empowers non-experts to take active and informed positions in shaping their future urban environments on a micro-scale, rethinking conventional market relations and exploring emerging personal and public values. The ARchitect game challenges conventional participatory design where an architect plays an essential role in facilitation of the design process and translation of end users’ design proposals. In contrast, the proposed game system allows non-architect players to autonomously produce and access design solutions through embedded computational simulation by an AR application, thus giving an equal chance to non-professionals to express their design visions and become aware of potential implications of their ideas. By providing free access to the game contents through the ARchitect platform and a playful user experience by which design principles can be learned, this game will inspire the general public to engage in conversation about home design, eventually spreading architectural literacy to less-privileged communities.

summary	Cheap VR technologies have fed the online community a boasting dose of bored individuals that crave rapid, on demand, interactive entertainment, which is freely available on platforms such as VR CHAT. Up to today, VR platforms primarily exist as an extra layered multimedia entertainment platform with fairly shallow character development and scene use. Through the use of such platforms, a general assessment of key traits was formed based on the population status of the most visited worlds by the general public throughout a typical week. Six key traits were used as a baseline view in order to better understand the relations between each world and how the individual differences could have influenced the final result. the traits were design quality, complexity, lighting conditions, function, scale, and asset amount. The final results proved that pre-pandemic online populace chose worlds of fairly mid ranged traits almost all across the board, with the exception of lighting conditions and representative function. Gathered information will form a basic understanding of the desires of the virtual human counterpart, and from a clearer view of the trends in virtual architecture design for online living spaces.

summary	Architectural Education faces limitations due to its tactile approach to learning in classrooms with only 2-D and 3-D tools. At a higher level, virtual reality provides a potential for delivering more information to individuals undergoing design learning. This paper investigates a hypothesis establishing grounds towards a new research in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR). The hypothesis is projected to determine best practices for content creation and tactile object virtual interaction, which potentially can improve learning in architectural & construction education with a less costly approach and ease of access to well-known buildings. We explored this hypothesis in a step-by-step game design demonstration in VR, by showcasing the exploration of the Farnsworth House and reproducing assemblage of the same with different game levels of difficulty which correspond with varying BIM levels of development (LODs). The game design prototype equally provides an entry way and learning style for users with or without a formal architectural or construction education seeking to understand design tectonics within diverse or cross-disciplinary study cases. This paper shows that developing geometric abstract concepts of design pedagogy, using varying LODs for game content and levels, while utilizing newly developed features such as snap-to-grid, snap-to-position and snap-to-angle to improve user engagement during assemblage may provide deeper learning objectives for architectural precedent study.

summary	Over centuries architects have developed frameworks of representation of the built surroundings in diverse types of drawings or models. With the rise of digital techniques, virtual models slowly replace these representation techniques but are still far from replicating the real world's ambiguity and complexity. This paper wants to address the representational problems of architecture combined with architecture-related AI systems and missing standardized tests for such systems. For this, we suggest a standardized computational testbed that can serve for developing, testing and benchmarking design solutions for abstracted architectural problems with various AI approaches in a game-like environment.Furthermore, this paper will discuss architectural problems' subdivision into atomic subtasks solvable by specific AI systems. Ideally, there is a waste number of possible architectural subtasks that can be applied. The paper presents some examples of possible architectural game strategies that abstractly deal with concepts of walls and borders, zones and connections. Although this paper mentions different Reinforcement Learning techniques, it is not focusing on fine-tuning the AI algorithms. It aims to help achieve automation of specific design workflow phases, then in the longer term to optimize and propose alternative design solutions and improve the architectural community's overall work.

title	GoDesign - A modular generative design framework for mass-customization and optimization in architectural design
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.1.285
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. 285-294
summary	We present a modular generative design framework for design processes in the built environment that provides for the unification of participatory design and optimization to achieve mass-customization and evidence-based design. The paper articulates this framework mathematically as three meta procedures framing the typical design problems as multi-dimensional, multi-criteria, multi-actor, and multi-value decision-making problems: 1) space-planning, 2) configuring, and 3) shaping; structured as to the abstraction hierarchy of the chain of decisions in design processes. These formulations allow for applying various problem-solving approaches ranging from mathematical derivation & artificial intelligence to gamified play & score mechanisms and grammatical exploration. The paper presents a general schema of the framework; elaborates on the mathematical formulation of its meta procedures; presents a spectrum of approaches for navigating solution spaces; discusses the specifics of spatial simulations for ex-ante evaluation of design alternatives. The ultimate contribution of this paper is laying the foundation of comprehensive Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS) for built environment design processes.

title	A new Relation Matrix as a Fruitful Meta-Design Tool - How to overcome typological limits
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.1.295
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. 295-302
summary	The use of meta-design tools to support the early stages of the design process is widely proven in literature. Among these tools, the adjacency matrix and the bubble diagram provided the various professionals involved - not only in the AEC sector - with some useful information mainly regarding the connection types between spaces and the sizing of their dimensions. With the evolution of design and the change of architectural aims (e.g. sustainability, refurbishment), it is not fruitful, especially related to complex buildings (e.g. hospital, airport), to manage spaces and their connections through the traditional Adjacency Matrix and its dual (Bubble Diagram). These tools, used as they were originally designed, do not consider other characteristics but basic topological ones and are still linked to 2D geometry. For this reason, this research aims to increase the unexplored design potential of these tools considering huge advances in building object representation and links with knowledge. The first research steps led to a 3D analysis capable of providing knowledge on the connections and adjacencies between spaces and its environments located on different floors. Therefore, we decided to define further goals, breaking limits of the "adjacency" concept for a more extendable and general concept of "relation" between spaces and environments.

title	Legibility of Design in Collaborative Computational Practices
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. 1053–1063
summary	The paper reports key instances from our field observations involving computational design practices to understand the process of generating and assessing alternative design options. Following an ethnographic approach, we investigate the nature of interactions within the team, which we conceptualize as a distributed cognitive system. We have observed a persistent effort –mostly driven by team leaders- to make the design idea -and design process in general- more legible and transparent for individuals within the team as well as others including clients and consultants. Through situated observations of collaborative computational practices, we investigate how design ideas are represented and externalized in a distributed cognitive system with the intention of achieving a legible schema to guide the design process. We report our interpretations concerning the concept of legibility and its various dimensions which predominantly relate to the need to clarify and justify the core design drivers and approaches in form-finding.

title	Digitally Prefabricated Houses: A Comparative Analysis of Executed Projects
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. 967–980
summary	In Brazil, the application of wood in contemporary constructions is concentrated in the south and southeast. However, the entire country has area for cultivation and forest management, which is favorable for expansion in such applications. Wood is capable of absorbing CO2 and consumes little energy in production and manufacturing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the deficiencies of the building typologies became evident. This research aims to analyze digitally executed prefabricated houses such as Instant House (1), Digitally Fabricated House (2) by Sass, and WikiHouse (3) by Parvin; under the categories of Cardoso (2016): modulation, reversibility, and flexibility. The deductive method was used to investigate assumptions among the three case studies; and grounded in scientific literature to analyze and collect data. In general, the solutions studied enabled customizable systems allied to wood panels, modules, and fittings as generators of architectural form.

title	Inductive Creative Processes within Ideation Phases of Digital Design Products
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. 463–473
summary	This article aims to identify and analyze inductive aspects (those which go from particular instances to the general configuration) present in ideation phases of digital design projects (such as apps, websites and tools for companies’ internal communications), with special emphasis on how induction occurs in creative processes. Using a qualitative methodological approach, the analysis is based on in-depth, semi-structured interviews with digital designers, on a literature review on the subjects of creativity and classic design method, as well as on a design documentary. Research findings suggest the importance of combining the use of verbal and visual communication resources in group dynamics; the need for designers to be highly proficient in the tools and techniques used while generating new alternatives, regardless of their physical/analogical or virtual/digital nature; and to allocate, whenever possible, ample time to explore ideas in order to push the limits of each project being developed.

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	The availability of rich 3D datasets corresponding to the geometrical complexity of the built environments is considered an ongoing challenge for 3D deep learning methodologies. To address this challenge, we introduce GenScan, a generative system that populates synthetic 3D scan datasets in a parametric fashion. The system takes an existing captured 3D scan as an input and outputs alternative variations of the building layout including walls, doors, and furniture with corresponding textures. GenScan is fully automated system that can also be manually controlled by a user through an assigned user interface. Our proposed system utilizes a combination of a hybrid deep neural network and a parametrizer module to extract and transform elements of a given 3D scan. GenScan takes advantage of style transfer techniques to generate new textures for the generated scenes. We believe our system would facilitate data augmentation to expand the currently limited 3D geometry datasets commonly used in 3D computer vision, generative design and general 3D deep learning tasks.

summary	Autonomously shape-changing granular materials are investigated as architectural construction materials. They allow the embedding of different mechanical behaviors in the same material system through the design of their component particles. Granular materials are defined as large numbers of individual elements of larger than a micron. Because they are not bound to each other, only the contact forces act between them. The design of individual particles affects the behavior of a granular substance composed of such materials. The design process involves the definition of the form and materiality of the particle in relation to the desired function of the granular material. If shape-change materials are deployed in the making of the particles, the granular material can have more than one designed behavior, for example, both liquid and solid phases. Autonomously shape-changing granular materials have seldom been explored in either architecture or granular physics. Thus their exploration is both a relevant and a novel contribution to the field of granular architectures in specific and computational architectural design in general. This article outlines the field of autonomously shape-changing granular materials and embeds them in the current state. Experimental and simulation methods for the development of shape-changing particles and granular materials are introduced. A case study on the development and testing of autonomously shape-changing particles made from a bimetal is also presented. Further research is outlined with respect to the practical, methodological, and conceptual development of an autonomously shape-changing designed granular material.

summary	Creating a visual 3D model is a vital part of the architectural design process. In architectural scenes, immersion is important to perceive the connection between various aspects. The general interaction cannot meet the needs of immersion. The immersion and interaction of virtual reality (VR) allows architects to feel and design spaces better. However, VR is currently mainly used only for visualization and walkthrough of the architectural space. The design process is still done using modeling software. This paper proposes a method of architectural design in virtual reality, allowing designers to experience the model created in real-time and improve the design. The use of visual mesh positioning and ray limits can help users create accurate architectural models. The paper also applied the innovative design method to the participatory design process and showed that architectural design in virtual reality can improve design quality and better meet the needs of users.

summary	There is a variety of BIM brands present in the Latin American market, there are several questions about their performance in the Spanish language. BIM software companies with a presence in Latin America were appointed to a series of structured and sequenced workshop. At the end of each talk, a specialized audience responded to a series of structured surveys on both theoretical and practical aspects of the software presented. The demonstration consisted of two areas: one theoretical and one practical. The theory presented relevant historical attributes, brand visibility data and some known examples of its use. In the practical part, a live demonstration of the use of the basic tools and functions of the interface was requested. It was derived that: The companies fulfilled the expectation on the agenda in a dissimilar way, the responses to the surveys revealed a similar performance in general terms (modeling, prices), the workshops showed significant differences in theoretical aspects such as known examples, certification. There is a need to advance in the dissemination of the performance of the different BIM brands in the AEC industry in Latin America, the level of individual experience strongly influences the evaluation of the software, the user's profile and the type of project will determine the software to use.

title	Investigating Computational Methods and Strategies to Reduce Construction and Demolition Waste in Preliminary Design

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	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.

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.

summary	In a move away from the ubiquitous ocular-centric Virtual Environment, our paper introduces a novel approach to creating other atmospheric qualities within VR scenarios that can address the known shortcoming of the feeling of disembodiment. In particular, we focus on stimulating the human bodys sensory ability to detect temperature changes: thermoception. Currently, users perceptions of a 3D virtual environment are often limited by the general focus, in VR development for design, on the two senses of vision and spatialised audio. The processes that we have undertaken include developing individual sensory engagement techniques, refinement of sensory stimuli and the generation of virtual atmospheric qualities. We respond to Pallasmaas theoretical stance on the evolution of the human senses, and the western bias of vision in virtual engine development. Consequently, the paper investigates the role our senses, outside of the core five senses, have in creating a fourth virtual dimension. The thermoception dimension is explored in our research. A user can begin to understand and engage with space and the directionality within a virtual scenario, as a bodily response to the stimulation of the bodys thermoception sense.

title	Digital Disobedience and Other Futures: Figurations of Futuristic Home Devices
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. 571–582
summary	The article presents and discusses the experience of a workshop held online in 2020 as part of the DigitalFUTURES event. The proposal found its starting point in the register of a world in the midst of a pandemic crisis. The general objective of the workshop was the construction of a design thinking capable of acting on the domestic by means of a disobedience projected towards a possible future. In this framework, digital disobedience became an exercise in critically questioning certain ambiguities of digital interfaces in their everyday omnipresence. By adopting a decolonial sight on design through an epistemology from the South, it was possible to achieve at alternative figurations of futures. These figurations led to the design of a series of futuristic domestic devices capable of exploring disobedient scenarios of domestic dwelling.
