title	Briefing AI: From Architectural Design Brief Texts to Architectural Design Sketches
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. 23-31
summary	The main focus of this research is to uncover the underlying intuitive knowledge of architecture with the help of machine learning models. To achieve this, a generic architectural design process is considered and divided into iterative portions based on their output for each phase. This study looks into the initial portion of the architectural design process called “Briefing”. The authors search for the intuition that exists within the design process and how it can be learned by artificial intelligence (AI) that is currently gained through master-apprentice relationship and experience that builds up this knowledge. In this study, a way to enable users to attain an architectural design sketch while defining an architectural design problem with text is explored. This on-going research decomposes the components of the briefing and preliminary design sketching processes. Therefore the domain knowledge at each phase is considered for translating to constraints via natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) models such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs).

summary	Custom room naming in architectural projects can vary considerably depending on the user. Having multiple and diverse names for the same room is particularly problematic for information retrieval processes in BIM-based projects. Current best practice includes either team agreement on naming labels in BIM or manual renaming to align with an office-wide standard. Both remain laborious and flawed and lead to compounding errors. This research explores how an automated naming-standardization workflow can enhance the interoperability of object-based modeling in a BIM environment and make information retrieval more reliable for a project life cycle. This paper presents research on (1) building a custom corpus specialized for architectural terminology to fit into the BIM environment and (2) devising a standard-naming system titled WuzzyNaming to save manual work for BIM users in maintaining room-name consistency. Our presented workflow applied natural language processing (NLP) technique and Fuzzy logic to perform the semantic analysis and automate the BIM room-name standardization.

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	The paper describes a site-specific architectural soundscape installation created during a workshop in August 2021 at the Domaine de Boisbuchet in France. Far from urban noise, participants were attuned to natural, artificial, and human sound spheres, placing them in dialog and interweaving them through emulation, voice recording, and electro-acoustic devices including piezoceramic sensors, small motors, speakers, and embedded electronics. This expository paper includes qualitative descriptions of the spatial sound compositions, the technology that supported them, and the performance into which they were integrated. The results of this event were described by participants as trance-like, with phasing of multiple periodically organized emergent sound phenomena creating a deeply immersive distributed environment. In describing in detail, the tools, processes, outcomes and implications of the workshop, this paper offers an example of a design approach and model that can contribute immersive distributed architectural soundscape design through human and non-human sound interaction.

title	Multimodal Architecture: Applications of Language in a Machine Learning Aided Design Process

summary	Recent advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Diffusion Models (DMs) are leading to a significant change in the way architecture is conceived. With capabilities that surpass those of current generative models, it is now possible to produce an unlimited number of high-quality images (Dhariwal and Nichol 2021). This opens up new opportunities for using synthetic images and marks a new phase in the creation of multimodal 3D forms, central to architectural concept design stages. Presented here are three methodologies of generation of meaningful 2D and 3D designs, merging text-to-image diffusion models Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E 2 with computational methods. These allow designers to intuitively navigate through a multimodal feedback loop of information originating from language and aided by artificial intelligence tools. This paper contributes to our understanding of machine-augmented design processes and the importance of intuitive user interfaces (UI) in enabling new dialogues between humans and machines. Through the creation of a prototype of an accessible UI, this exchange of information can empower designers, build trust in these tools, and increase control over the design process.

summary	Hospitalization is, for the patient, a neuropsychophysiological stressor, thus pertinent theories point to architectural stimuli as a tool for the homeostasis restoration and consequent well-being. Furthermore, they compile advantages to the patients’ treatment and highlight, mainly, the natural environments benefits, which is elucidated by the Biophilia theory. Through literature review and analysis of applied research in national and international hospitals, extracted from indexing databases of scientific production in the 2000-2020 timeframe, it was found that these areas [a] promote stimuli that enhance emotions and positive feelings; [b] act to restore stress and anxiety; [c] reduce pain, analgesic intake and length of stay; and [d] increase patient satisfaction. By sharing the results of this research, the objective is, in addition to stimulating future research on the organism behavior in the environments, to indicate perspectives for hospital ambiences.

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

title	Shapegrammar: A Tool for Research in Traditional 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. 465-478
summary	Every Architectural style consists of an Architectural language with vocabulary, syntax, and semantics. The compositional principles of a particular style can be defined over as a set of rules. These rules can be reformed and converted using mathematical computational techniques using Shape Grammar (A systematic method used for interpreting spatial design and activities). Researchers across the world used shape grammar to analyse design patterns of traditional architectural styles, master architects' works, etc. These rule-based methods can be adopted into computer languages to produce new designs. Traditional Architecture of a region portrays culture integrated with all aspects of human life. The proposed paper is to study the potentials of shape grammar to use as a tool in the research of traditional architectural styles by analysing case studies. The research methodology reviews the previous shape grammar studies conducted in various conventional styles and comparative analysis of the approaches of authors in shape grammar generation. The research by Lambe and Dongre on the formulation of shape grammar of Pol houses of Ahmadabad and Cagdas's work on traditional Turkish houses is an example of this. T Knight had formulated shape grammar of Japanese tea houses, and Yousefniapasha and Teeling developed a grammar of vernacular houses facing rice fields of Mazandaran, Iran. Similarly, many researchers used shape grammars as a tool to analyse traditional architecture. So the study will compare the different traditional shape grammar generations and formulate a sample shape grammar of a traditional prototype to conclude the scope of further research in the domain.

summary	Swarm intelligence has primarily been explored in architecture as a form-finding technique with resulting material articulation using advanced 3d-printing technology. Researchers in engineering have developed swarm robotics for construction and fabrication, typically constraints to small scale prototypes as the technology matures within the field. However, a few research explores the implication of swarm robotics for construction on the building or urban scale. This paper presents a novel swarm robotics construction method using mole-like digging technology to construct new architectural language using machine intelligence. The research discusses the role of swarm intelligence behaviours in design and synthesis such behaviour with machine logics. The paper addresses the conference theme through the speculative projection of future construction methodology and reflects on how automation can impact the future of construct and design.

doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_1
source	Proceedings of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES The 3rd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2021)
summary	Virtual design production demands that information be increasingly encoded and decoded with image compression technologies. Since the Renaissance, the discourses of language and drawing and their actuation by the classical disciplinary treatise have been fundamental to the production of knowledge within the building arts. These early forms of data compression provoke reflection on theory and technology as critical counterparts to perception and imagination unique to the discipline of architecture. This research examines the illustrated expositions of Sebastiano Serlio through the lens of artificial intelligence (AI). The mimetic powers of technological data storage and retrieval and Serlio’s coded operations of orthographic projection drawing disclose other aesthetic and formal logics for architecture and its image that exist outside human perception. Examination of aesthetic communication theory provides a conceptual dimension of how architecture and artificial intelligent systems integrate both analog and digital modes of information processing. Tools and methods are reconsidered to propose alternative AI workflows that complicate normative and predictable linear design processes. The operative model presented demonstrates how augmenting and interpreting layered generative adversarial networks drive an integrated parametric process of three-dimensionalization. Concluding remarks contemplate the role of human design agency within these emerging modes of creative digital production.

title	BIM quality control based on requirement linked data
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 3, 431–448
summary	This article discusses a BIM Quality Control Ecosystem that is based on Requirement Linked Data in order to create a framework where automated BIM compliance checking methods can be widely used. The meaning of requirements is analyzed in a building project context as a basis for data flow analysis: what are the main types of requirements, how they are handled, and what sources they originate from. A literature review has been conducted to find the present development directions in quality checking, besides a market research on present, already widely used solutions. With the conclusions of these research and modern data management theory, the principles of a holistic approach have been defined for quality checking in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. A comparative analysis has been made on current BIM compliance checking solutions according to our review principles. Based on current practice and ongoing research, a state-of-the-art BIM quality control ecosystem is proposed that is open, enables automation, promotes interoperability, and leaves the data governing responsibility at the sources of the requirements. In order to facilitate the flow of requirement and quality data, we propose a model for requirements as Linked Data and provide example for quality checking using Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL). As a result, an opportunity is given for better quality and cheaper BIM design methods to be implemented in the industry.

title	21E8: Coupling Generative Adversarial Neural Networks (GANS) with Blockchain Applications in Building Information Modelling (BIM) Systems
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.2.111
source	A. Globa, J. van Ameijde, A. Fingrut, N. Kim, T.T.S. Lo (eds.), PROJECTIONS - Proceedings of the 26th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 2, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Online, Hong Kong, 29 March - 1 April 2021, pp. 111-120
summary	The ability of GANs to synthesize large sets of data is ideal for coupling with BIM to formulate a multi-access system that enables users to search and browse through a spectrum of articulated options, all personalised to design specificity - an 'Architecture Machine'. Nonetheless, due to challenges in proprietary incompatibility, BIM systems currently lack a secured yet transparent way of freely integrating with crowdsourced efforts. This research proposes to employ blockchain as a means to couple GANs and BIM, with e8 networking topology to facilitate communication and distribution. It consists of a literature review and a design research that proposes a tech stack design and UML (unified modeling language) use cases, and presents preliminary design results obtained using GANs and e8.

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.

summary	In continuation of our previous research (Hussein, et al., 2017), this paper examines the kinetic transformable spatial-bar structures that can alter their forms from any free-form geometry to another, which can be named as Free-form transformable structures (FFTS). Since 1994, some precedents have been proposed FFTS for many applications such as controlling solar gain, providing interactive kinetic forms, and control the users' movement within architectural/urban spaces. This research includes a comparative analysis and a critical review of eight FFTS precedents, which revealed some design and technical considerations, issues, and design and evaluation challenges due to the FFTS ability to deliver infinite unpredictable form variations. Additionally, this research presents our novel algorithmic framework to design and evaluate the infinite form variations of FFTS and an actuated prototype that achieved the required movement. The findings of this study revealed some significant design and technical challenges and limitations that require further research work.

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	Combining Biomimicry and Parametric Design, this research aims to detail the design process of an ephemeral pavilion which uses the method Biomimicry Design Lens, proposed by Biomimicry 3.8. The experiments developed in this paper followed the method’s diagram insights and it was guided by the ‘Biology for Design’ diagram in a non-sequential order in the design process. The pavilion is located in the Serpentine Gallery, and it was bio-inspired by the ribs of the inferior face of the Victoria amazonica leaf, a natural morphological structure that was translated into a quadrangular grid characteristic of the waffle structure. Finally, the parametric implementation allowed the development of several morphological experiments.

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	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.

summary	The research presented in this paper focusses on the concept of “Diterial” which aims to merge digital design and fabrication technology with natural materials such as bamboo poles and raw timber. It proposes a digital workflow that uses sensing techniques to gain individual material information of natural, unprocessed construction resources and identify their individual strengths and characteristics and therefore its potential in load-carrying structures. This information is then used to develop bespoke designs and fabrication concepts, bridging the gap between unprocessed material and automated fabrication setups. Two case studies, developed to prove this concept, are described and compared. Both cases focused on the development of spatial structures using node-bar combinations of local resources.
