title	Optimizing container housing units for informal settlements - A parametric simulation & visualization workflow for architectural resilience
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.051

summary	In rapidly growing cities like Dhaka, Bangladesh, sustainable housing in urban wetlands and slums present a challenge to more affordable and livable cities. The Container Housing System (CHS) is among the latest methods of affordable, modular housing quickly gaining acceptance among local stakeholders in Bangladesh. Even though container houses made of heat-conducting materials significantly impact overall energy consumption, there is little research on the overall environmental impact of CHS. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the performance of CHS in the climatic context of the Korail slum in Dhaka. The paper proposes a building envelope optimization and visualization workflow utilizing parametric cluster simulation modeling, multi-objective optimization (MOO) algorithms, and virtual reality (VR) as an immersive visualization technique. First, local housing and courtyard patterns were used to develop hypothetical housing clusters. Next, the CHS design variables were chosen to conduct the MOO analysis to measure Useful Daylight Illuminance and Energy Use Intensity. Finally, the prototype was integrated into a parametric VR environment to enable local stakeholders to walk through the clusters with the goal of generating feedback. This study shows that the proposed method can be implemented by architects and planners in the early design process to help improve the stakeholders understanding of CHS and its impact on the environment. It further elaborates on the implementation results, challenges, limitations of the parametric framework, and future work needed.

title	Parametric design and multirobotic fabrication of wood facades
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2021.258
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. 258-269.
summary	The paper describes the findings of the applied research project by Institute Integrative Design (currently ICDP) HGK FHNW and ERNE AG Holzbau to design and manufacture prefabricated wooden façades in the collaborative design manner between architects and industry. As such, it is an attempt to respond to the current interdisciplinary split in the construction, which blocks innovation and promotes standardized inefficient building solutions. Within this project, we apply three innovations in the industrial setup that result in the integrated design-to-production process of individualized, cost-efficient and well-crafted façades. The collaborative design approach is a method in which architect, engineer and manufacturer start exchange on the early stage of the project during the collaborative design workshops. Digital design and fabrication tools enable architects to generate a large scope of façade variations within production feasibility of the manufacturer and engineers to prepare files for robotic production. Novel multi-robot fabrication processes, developed with the industrial partner, allows for complex façade assembly. This paper introduces the concept of digital craftsmanship, manifested in a mixed fabrication system, which intelligently combines automated and manual production to obtain economic feasibility and highest aesthetic quality. Finally, we describe the design and fabrication of the project demonstrator consisting of four intricate façades on a modular office building, inspired by local traditional solutions, which validate the developed methods and highlight the architectural potential of the presented approach.

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	SwarmBESO: Multi-agent and evolutionary computational design based on the principles of structural performance
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.241

summary	This paper posits a design approach that integrates multi-agent generative algorithms and structural topology optimisation to design intricate, structurally efficient forms. The research proposes a connection between two dichotomous principles: architectural complexity and structural efficiency. Both multi-agent algorithms and Bi-directional evolutionary structural optimisation (BESO) (Huang and Xie 2010), are emerging techniques that have significant potential in the design of form and structure.This research proposes a structural behaviour feedback loop through encoding BESO structural rules within the logic of multi-agent algorithms. This hybridisation of topology optimisation and swarm intelligence, described here as SwarmBESO, is demonstrated through two simple structural models. The paper concludes by speculating on the potential of this approach for the design of intricate, complex structures and their potential realisation through additive manufacturing.

title	Human-Computer Interaction for Urban Rules Optimization
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. 603-613
summary	Faced with the complexity of manual and intuitive management of urban rules in architectural and urban design, this paper offers a collaborative and digital human-computer approach. It aims to have an Authorized Bounding Volume (ABV) which uses the best target values of urban rules. It is a distributed constraint optimization problem. The ABV Generative Model uses multi-agent systems. It offers an intelligent system of urban morphology able to transform the urban rules, on a given plot, into a morphological delimitation permitted by the planning regulations of a city. The overall functioning of this system is based on two approaches: construction and supervision. The first is conducted entirely by the machine and the second requires the intervention of the designer to collaborate with the machine. The morphological translation of urban rules is sometimes contradictory and may require additional external relevance to urban rules. Designer arbitration assists the artificial intelligence in accomplishing this task and solving the problem. The Human-Computer collaboration is achieved at the appropriate time and relies on the degree of constraint satisfaction with fitness function. The resolution of the distributed constraint optimization problem is not limited to an automatic generation of urban rules, but involves also the production of multiple optimal-ABV conditioned both by urban constraints as well as relevance, chosen by the designer.

title	Material Units - Uploading information into matter via stimuli and the challenges of determining feedback
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.2.431
source	Stojakovic, V and Tepavcevic, B (eds.), Towards a new, configurable architecture - Proceedings of the 39th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, University of Novi Sad, Novi Sad, Serbia, 8-10 September 2021, pp. 431-442
summary	Associative and generative design processes are capable of creating complex digital models, which can have their digital material properties (size, aesthetics, performance) infinitely adapted or radically transformed, relative to design demands, if they remain in their digital environments. Imagine, if physical materials and structures had these abilities, where design updates could be uploaded into a structure's physical material makeup at molecular resolutions. This could begin to enable a physical structure's matter to be reprogrammed so they can adapt across their length scales with high sensitivities and multi-material properties. To leverage these abilities, novel design and fabrication processes need to be developed, which enable interrelationships between design parameters, assembly mechanisms and material properties. This paper presents key findings and implications of two final prototypes, from a series, which developed a design and fabrication approach termed tuneable environments that enables interrelationships and design information to be uploaded into matter at granular resolutions.

title	Algae, Gobiidae Fish and Insects that inspire Coastal Custodian Entities - Digital models for a real-virtual space using TouchDesigner

summary	At the beginning of the twenty-first century, a discipline at the intersection of digital art and science explores how natural and artificial species are affected, coexist, and feed back to humans based on multi-scalar hybrid models. They embody types of surveillance entities or non-human custodians, and serve as inspiration for another generation of designs produced ten years later, the case studies that are presented here. This paper explains the design and parametric fundamentals of a digital architecture installation at the University of Alicante (Spain 2021) using CNC models and the TouchDesigner programming environment. The installation contains a clan of technological-virtual hybrid species, non-human custodians, which: (a) strengthen the Proposal’s discourse on the recognition of legal identity of the Mar Menor lagoon (Southeast Spain); (b) incorporate reactive designs; (c) help raise awareness of the effect of human actions on the lagoon’s ecology and nearby streams. The viewpoint is not anthropocentric, because it adopts the perspective of the foraging fish species or the oxygen-seeking algae species, among others, in order to reveal the deterioration processes. In most cases, the result is a sort of synaesthetic conversation that interweaves light, sound, movement and data.

summary	The task of architectural image recognition for both architectural functionality and style remains an open challenge. In addition, the paucity of well-organized, large-scale architectural image datasets with specific consideration for the domain of architectural design research has hindered the exploration of these challenging tasks. Drawing upon images from the professional architectural website ArchdailyÂ®, and leveraging state-of-the-art deep-learning-based classification models, we explore a hierarchical multi-label classification model as a potential baseline for the task of architectural image classification. The resulting model showcases the potential for innovative architectural discipline-related analyses and demonstrates some heuristic insights for visual feature extraction pertaining to both architectural functionality and architectural style.

summary	The sand table is a tool of expression of urban planning.With the development of computer science and technology,virtual reality technology is playing an important role in many aspects of urban planning and design,as well as,the virtual sand table.This article analyzes the limitations of the current urban planning sand table from designers and other participants perspectives. It analyses the advantages of applying interactive technology in a sand table for urban planning and proposes using such interactive technology in the future. This paper will also investigate three aspects of interactions: human-computer interaction technology, collaborative interaction technology, remote visual interaction technology. The application of interactive technology on the virtual sand table, on the one hand, can carry out a multi-angle forward-looking analysis of the problems of urban construction and improve the efficiency of planning and approval, and development; on the other hand, it can increase public participation in urban planning and design.

summary	This research demonstrates the development of a hybrid FRP-timber wall and slab system for multi-story structures. Bespoke computational tools and robotic fabrication processes allow for adaptive placement of material according to specific local requirements of the structure thus representing a resource-efficient alternative to established modes of construction. This constitutes a departure from pre-digital, material-intensive building methods, based on isotropic materials towards genuinely digital building systems using lightweight, hybrid composite elements. Design and fabrication methods build upon previous research on lightweight fiber structures conducted at the University of Stuttgart and expand it towards inhabitable, multi-story building systems. Interdisciplinary design collaboration based on reciprocal computational feedback allows for the concurrent consideration of architectural, structural, fabrication and material constraints. The robotic coreless filament winding process only uses minimal, modular formwork and allows for the efficient production of morphologically differentiated building components. The research results were demonstrated through Maison Fibre, developed for the 17th Architecture Biennale in Venice. Situated at the Venice Arsenale, the installation is composed of 30 plate like elements and depicts a modular, further extensible scheme. While this first implementation of a hybrid multi-story building system relies on established glass and carbon fiber composites, the methods can be extended towards a wider range of materials ranging from ultra-high-performance mineral fiber systems to renewable natural fibers.

summary	Daylight and solar access influence positively building occupants' wellbeing and students' learning performance. However, an excess of sunlight can harm the visual comfort of occupants through disturbing glare effects. This study investigated, through multi-objective optimization, the potential of static shading devices to reduce glare and to guarantee daylight provision in a university building. The results showed that the reduction of disturbing glare was up to more than twice the reduced daylight, which nevertheless, was provided in adequate levels. View out and energy performance were also analyzed. Detailed results of optimal shading types and classrooms layout indications are presented.

title	Constrained Multi-Criteria Optimization for Integrated Design in Professional Practice
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. 29–40
summary	To design sustainable architecture, theory encourages architects to rely on automated exploration processes. In practice, the problems encountered are often multicriteria and under constraint. This paper compares different constraint handling strategies, approachable to designer, for processes involving evolutionary algorithms. Four methods are tested on a case study from professional practice. Two methods rely on parametric models: the penalty function method and the use of hyperparameters. The others involve the use of generative techniques: a rule-based method and a repair algorithm that takes the form of an agent-based model. This study highlights the significant impact of the choice of the constraint management method on exploration performance. Among other results, it appears that models involving the use of generative techniques are more efficient than those using parametric models. This calls for the development of dedicated tools.

summary	Daylighting provision gives a significant contribution to the enhancement of the indoor visual environment and user comfort. This study aims to provide a methodology to assess and optimize daylighting performance in buildings. The paper utilizes simulation techniques for identifying the most efficient daylight performance by incorporating parametric optimization tools to enhance the daylighting performance of existing buildings. The developed workflow includes three consecutive phases. The first examines the daylighting performance of the existing building. The second phase is concerned with daylighting adequacy and the third aims to optimize the quality of light rather than just the quantity through the utilization of a simple shading system to parametrically investigate the effect of using different shading configurations on daylighting performance and to select the optimal solution. A louver system was parameterized according to a predefined process that associates its depth, count and rotation angle while a vertical screen was parametrized according to its scale and tilt angle. To examine the potentials of the proposed multi-stage method, it has been implemented on an office building located in new Cairo, Egypt. The results demonstrate that using the proposed optimization strategy drastically enhanced the Spatial Daylighting Autonomy of the building from 27% to 87% in comparison with the base case. Moreover, the optimum shading solution enhanced the daylighting quality by reducing the glare probability for better visual comfort from 60% to only 14%.

title	Parametric Urbanism: Multi-Criteria Optimization for a Sustainable Neighborhood in Sao José Dos Campos
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. 351–362
summary	Based on the concepts of Sustainable Urbanism and performance-based design, this work proposes the development of a neighborhood in the city of Sao José dos Campos (SJC), Sao Paulo-Brazil. The performance-based design method was used through parametric algorithmic tools - such as Grasshopper - for construction, analysis and the urban design multicriteria optimization. Five optimization functions were used: walkability, sunset view, radiation in hot periods, minimum hours of sun exposition and maximum number of floors. The use of optimization software accommodates the numerous conflicting requirements of the model. The results obtained are a systematization of the process and a system that allows various urban solutions based on numerical performance criteria. The selected solutions achieved walkability indicators greater than 80%.

summary	This paper will propose the integration of multi-view stereo and time of flight technologies and components. Through the spatial point cloud sensor, the changes of objects in the space are converted into digital point clouds, which are feedback on the virtual interface. To make the virtual and physical will continuously communicate and feedback in space, which we established a correction tool for the integration of virtual and physical. The agent-based sensor computing method combines the fabrication process of visual sensors and behavior, from virtual object control to fabrication machines. In this tool, users can explain the reasons for design decisions by visualizing process and process-related information. It allows virtual and physical previews and feedback in real time, and finds out the differences between the two and makes real-time corrections. Solved the correction problem of coexistence.

summary	This work introduces multi-material liquid printing as an enabling technology for designing programmed shape-shifting silicones. The goal of this research is to provide a readily available, scalable and customized approach at producing responsive 4D printed structures for a wide range of applications. Hence, the methodology allows customization at each step of the procedure by intervening either on the material composition and/or on the design and fabrication strategies for the production of responsive components. A significant endeavour is initiated to develop and engineer two different material systems that enable shape-shifting: silicone-ethanol composites and polyvinyl siloxane swelling rubbers. The printed samples successfully comply with the expected swelling behaviour through a variety of printed test patterns.

summary	The COVID-19 pandemic has made most schools, universities, and gathering spaces fully virtual. Commonly used communication platforms such as Zoom, Skype, and Microsoft Teams are limited in recreating physical interactions and offer mostly static interfaces with limited occasions for spontaneous encounters. This project creates a space that seeks to address this issue, first through the digitization of familiar physical spaces, and then through their augmentation via WebXR technologies[1]. A gamification strategy is adopted, where users can virtually learn, collaborate and socialize through personalized avatars within a dynamic and multi-sensorial digital environment. In this paper, we present a completed prototype that is currently being tested at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. The school of architecture has been digitized and experientially augmented thanks to an asymmetrical system that offers rich modalities of interaction through different platforms. The project builds upon the wide experiential potential of digital platforms, otherwise not possible in reality, and implements a customized multi-modal user interface (Reeves et al. 2004).
