title	Computational co-design of fibrous architecture
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/s44223-022-00004-x
source	Architectural Intelligence Journal
summary	Fibrous architecture constitutes an alternative approach to conventional building systems and established construction methods. It shows the potential to converge architectural concerns such as spatial expression and structural elegance, with urgently required resource effectiveness and material efficiency, in a genuinely computational approach. Fundamental characteristics of fibre composite are shared with fibre structures in the natural world, enabling the transfer of design principles and providing a vast repertoire of inspiration. Robotic fabrication based on coreless filament winding, a technique to deposit resin impregnated fibre filaments with only minimal formwork, as well as integrative computational design methods are imperative to the development of complex fibrous building systems. Two projects, the BUGA Fibre Pavilion as an example for long-span structures, and Maison Fibre as an example of multi-storey architecture, showcase the application of those techniques in an architectural context and highlight areas of further research opportunities. The highly interrelated aesthetic, structural and fabrication characteristics of fibre nets are difficult to understand and go beyond a designer’s comprehension and intuition. An AI powered, self-learning agent system aims to extend and thoroughly explore the design space of fibre structures to unlock the full design potential coreless filament winding offers. In order to ensure feedback between all relevant design and performance criteria and enable interdisciplinary convergence, these novel design methods are embedded in a larger co-design framework. It formalizes the interaction of involved interdisciplinary domains and allows for interactive collaboration based on a central data model, serving as a base for design optimisation and exploration. To further advance research on fibre composites in architecture, bio-based materials are considered, continuing the journey of discovery of fibrous architecture to fundamentally rethinking design and construction towards a novel, computational material culture in architecture.

title	3D Printing with Bacterial Cellulose-Based Bioactive Composites for Design Applications
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2022.1.077

summary	The bacterial cellulose (BC) biofilms are explored in design applications as replacements to petroleum-based materials in order to overcome the irreversible effects of the Anthropocene. Unlike biomaterials, designers as mediators could collaborate with bioactive polymers as a form of wetware to manufacture living design products with the aid of novel developments in biology and engineering. Past and ongoing experiments in the literature show that BC has a strong nanofibril structure that provides adhesion for attachment to plant cellulose-based networks and it could grow on the surfaces of the desired geometry thanks to its inherited, yet, controllable bio-intelligence. This research explores BC-based bioactive composites as wetware within the context of digital fabrication in which the methodology involves distinct, yet integrated, three main stages: Digital design and G-code generation (software stage); BC cultivation and printable bioactive composite formulation (wetware stage); digital fabrication with a customized 3D printer (hardware stage). The results have shown that the interaction of BC and plant- based cellulose fibers of jute yarns has enhanced the structural load-bearing capacity of the form against compressive forces, while pure BC is known only by its tensile strength. Since the outcomes were fabricated with the use of a bioactive material, the degradation process also adds a fourth dimension: Time, by which the research findings could further establish a bio-upcycling process of wastes towards biosynthesis of valuable products. Moreover, developing a BC-based bioactive filament indicates potentially a feasible next step in the evolution of multiscale perspectives on the growth of habitable living structures that could reinforce the interaction between nature and architecture through collaboration with software, hardware, and wetware in innovative and sustainable ways.

title	Multi-Criteria Decision Making in Digital Participation - A framework to evaluate participation in urban design processes
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2022.1.401
source	Pak, B, Wurzer, G and Stouffs, R (eds.), Co-creating the Future: Inclusion in and through Design - Proceedings of the 40th Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2022) - Volume 1, Ghent, 13-16 September 2022, pp. 401–410
summary	Data-driven urban design processes consist of iterative actions of many stakeholders, which require digital participatory approaches for collecting data from a high number of participants to make informed decisions. It is important to evaluate such processes to justify the necessary costs and efforts while continuously improving digital participation. Nevertheless, such evaluation remains a challenge due to the involvement of different stakeholders including participants, designers, and policymakers in decision-making processes, and the lack of a systematic method to generalize participation outputs that are mostly situated and context based. By addressing this challenge, this paper introduces a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) based framework to measure the effectiveness and quality of digital participation systematically and quantitatively. To achieve such evaluation, we conducted a digital participation experiment and investigated such processes with the help of participants, designers, and policymakers from Singapore and Hamburg. By formulating this framework, we aim to reveal perspectives of different stakeholders towards digital participation and enable the evaluation and comparison of digital participation processes based on the introduced digital participation criteria.

title	ZeroWaste - Towards Computing Cooperative Robotic Sequences for the Disassembly and Reuse of Timber Frame Structures
source	ACADIA 2022: Hybrids and Haecceities [Proceedings of the 42nd Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 979-8-9860805-8-1]. University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design. 27-29 October 2022. edited by M. Akbarzadeh, D. Aviv, H. Jamelle, and R. Stuart-Smith. 586-597.
summary	ZeroWaste is a project about repositioning existing timber building stock within a circular economy framework. Rather than disposing of these buildings at the end of their life, the goal is to view them as stores of valuable resources that can be readily reused. By doing this, material life cycle becomes an integral design consideration alongside planning for the efficient disassembly and reuse of these structures. In this paper, the computational workflow is presented for the first phase of the project: planning a cooperative robotic disassembly sequence for the scaffold-free removal of members from existing timber structures.

title	Towards to the Hyperautomation - An integrated framework for Construction 4.0: a case of Hookbot as a distributed reconfigurable robotic assembly system
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2022.2.389
source	Pak, B, Wurzer, G and Stouffs, R (eds.), Co-creating the Future: Inclusion in and through Design - Proceedings of the 40th Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2022) - Volume 2, Ghent, 13-16 September 2022, pp. 389–398
summary	Almost every technological and industrial concept changes the built environment around us and our understanding of the architectural practice. Recently, Hyperautomation, an all-encompassing digital transformation with the help of advanced techniques, has been presented as a game-changing concept that can affect any industry. Despite this promising concept, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry seems far behind the latest technological breakthroughs and automation of processes compared to other industries. Therefore, this study provides a better understanding of adopting the novel Hyperautomation paradigm in the AEC industry by focusing on Industry 4.0. In this context, the first section introduces the Construction 4.0 concept, its counterpart in the AEC industry, briefly mentions fundamental approaches and indicates the need for a framework. The second section introduces an integrated framework throughout the entire building life-cycle for design and construction processes and exemplifies the stages in an autonomous system and their interrelationships. The third section presents a hypothetical case, a distributed reconfigurable robotic assembly system, and the assembler ‘HookBot’ to understand the relationships in an autonomous system better. The last section discusses the place of the Hyperautomation paradigm in architecture.

summary	In the context of the housing demands that respond to several family profiles, allied with the potential of the algorithmic approaches to Architecture, this paper aims to describe an exploratory process of possible solutions toward a generative system of housing distribution in vertical multifamily buildings. As a method, this work presents a parametric design process of a multifamily building, simulating a variety of shape solutions for apartment buildings, in a Grasshopper definition. The work also discusses the data transmission between the parametric modeling using Grasshopper in the Rhinoceros interface and the connection of the final design to Graphisoft’s Archicad BIM-based software. As a result, the parametric model allows several design solutions for several building shapes and contexts. For this study, to fully explore the design possibilities, we applied the method in the context of a Brazilian metropolitan city.

title	The Digital Touch - Towards novel modeling frameworks for robotically-enhanced marble sculpting
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2022.1.037

summary	In this paper, two case studies on digital modeling for robotically-enabled marble carving are presented. In the first one, an interactive, gesture-based modeling framework was developed to sculpt a large, undulating and ultra-thin marble surface. On the second one, an integrated 3D-scanning-to-milling solution was created, in order to groove a superficial pattern on the surface of a discarded marble boulder. The cases evidence the power of tangible interaction to serve as input to novel digitally-aided marble sculpting processes, and the capacity of integrated generative design workflows to create consistent solutions to variable conditions, in this case, with a particular focus on sustainability and reclaiming of scrap materials.

title	Towards a Digital Practice of Historical Stone Carvings
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2022.2.227
source	Pak, B, Wurzer, G and Stouffs, R (eds.), Co-creating the Future: Inclusion in and through Design - Proceedings of the 40th Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2022) - Volume 2, Ghent, 13-16 September 2022, pp. 227–234
summary	Local traditional crafts in various parts of the world are being transformed by digitalization in tandem with broader social and economic changes. Mardin, a historical and cultural hub in southeast Anatolia, presents an exemplary case with its stone architecture. Whereas the number of skilled craftsmen is diminishing, digital fabrication ateliers are increasingly in demand in the city and rising in number. Training programs have already started integrating CNC milling-based techniques. However, despite the growing interest in adapting computational processes, how the craft knowledge is documented and conveyed to multiple actors for maintaining and even increasing the quality of workmanship is yet to be explored. We present a novel way to document carving procedures and to create an inventory of the 3D motifs using cross-sections as complements to front views. The research engages end-user participants of different backgrounds, such as stone cutting technologies and architecture, with little or no practical knowledge of digital manufacturing. The work focuses on a selection of motifs from the Syriac stone carving heritage in Mardin, the documentation of which is very limited. The proposed workflow begins with recording the surface depth and the variations in the cross-section using digital scans. In the second stage, we consider the potential subtractive transformations that result in the final form and reconstruct them as milling operations with a parametric and procedural modeling approach. Various milling processes are derived by relating the shapes to the available cutting tools and materials. The study contributes to creating the inventory of an engraving culture that has lasted for hundreds of years while developing a generally applicable and transferable knowledge base to increase its sharing and dissemination in the age of digitally supported production.

summary	This paper presents case studies and analysis of agent-based reinforcement learning (RL) systems towards practical applications for specific architecture/engineering tasks using Unity 3D-based simulation methods. Finding and implementing sufficient abstraction for architecture and engineering problems to be solved by agent-based systems requires broad architectural knowledge and the ability to break down complex problems. Modern artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems based on artificial neural networks can solve complex problems in different domains such as computer vision, language processing, and predictive maintenance. The paper will give a theoretical overview, such as more theoretical abstractions like zero-sum games, and a comparison of presented games. The application section describes a possible categorization of practical usages. From more general applications to more narrowed ones, we explore current possibilities of RL application in the field of relatable problems. We use the Unity 3D engine as the basis of a robust simulation environment.

title	Towards Informed Design Decision Support of Additive Manufacturing in Construction: The Use of Integrated Knowledge in BIM-based Architectural Design
source	Hybrid Spaces of the Metaverse - Architecture in the Age of the Metaverse: Opportunities and Potentials [10th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings] Debbieh (Lebanon) [Virtual Conference] 12-13 October 2022, pp. 237-252
summary	Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have great potential to promote sustainable development in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) domain. But the inherent complexity of AM and lack of domain knowledge hinder decisions about appropriate construction methods. With state-of-the-art Semantic Web technologies, a knowledge base regarding AM technologies can be formalized and integrated into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology. To this end, this paper demonstrates how a Design Decision Support System (DDSS) utilizes formal knowledge to assist architects in choosing the appropriate AM method by assessing the manufacturability of individual building components. By following and refining the essential activities described, we aim to provide architects with informed decision support, thus facilitating the versatile use of AM technologies in the AEC domain.

summary	Since March 2020, architecture schools in the world took significant decisions to abandon face-to-face learning; overnight, for security reasons, institutions around the world had to close their doors, confining professors, and students at home to teach online. Education before the Covid-19 pandemic was moving towards digitalization and online teaching, so the emergency exponentially detonated this phenomenon, bringing the Virtual Design Studio (Virtual Design Studio, VDS) as a practical-pedagogical option for distance education. Therefore, defining the concept of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). Firstly, the identification and intercession of the previous notions, this work approaches an applicative case with the realization of a workshop, which under the modality Multilevel Workshop -also called Vertical Workshop-, the Faculty of Architecture of the UMSNH proposed to integrate knowledge, skills, and competences under the scheme of Problem Based Learning (PBL).

summary	With the fourth industrial revolution advancements, digital fabrication and automation have been widely adopted in design and manufacturing domains and deliver exceptional architectural design and fabrication potential. Specifically, robotic fabrication, as cutting-edge technology, pushes the boundaries of architecture to reach structural improvements. However, the potential for robotic fabrication of landscape architecture, which goes beyond the automation and maintenance of existing techniques, remains relatively untouched. This research explores the potential of robotic fabrication in landscape architecture by evaluating its applications in architecture. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted on pioneering architectural research groups involved in robotic fabrication projects. The collected projects were classified and analyzed based on their main parameters, including material, the implemented task, final products, and goals. This evaluation system helps to identify new areas of activity that will enhance landscape architecture, and it will help to change the historical link between a landscape architect and his production techniques.

title	Augmented Masonry Design: A Design Method using Augmented Reality (AR) for Customized Bricklaying Design Algorithms
source	Hybrid Spaces of the Metaverse - Architecture in the Age of the Metaverse: Opportunities and Potentials [10th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings] Debbieh (Lebanon) [Virtual Conference] 12-13 October 2022, pp. 703-712
summary	The Augmented Masonry Design project presents experimental research about developing and applying Augmented Reality (AR) technology for customized design algorithms, exploring a real-time, interactive, and spatial-free design method for the early architectural design stage. We aim to resolve the current 2D-based design limitations and provide architects with a 3D-4D immersive perception in AR for a practical and easy-to-use design method. Furthermore, with reference to the Covid-19 pandemic, we propose that this method could break through site accessibility and constraints by breaking the barriers of physical space. Towards this aim, we apply the Augmented Masonry Design into two prototypes: a) user interface (UI) immersive design, in which interactive inputs will communicate with design algorithms in AR through the inputs from the screen-based UI on mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets); b) intuitive interaction immersive design, in which interactive inputs will be translated to design algorithms directly in AR through hand gestures on head-mounted devices (HMD) (e.g., Microsoft HoloLens). Our Findings highlight the advantages of immersive design in the initial stage of architectural drafts, which gives designers better spatial understanding and design creativity, as well as the challenges arising from the limitations of current AR devices and the lack of real physical simulation in the design system.

title	Construction Based on Man-Machine Collaboration: A Case Study of a Bamboo Pavilion
source	Hybrid Spaces of the Metaverse - Architecture in the Age of the Metaverse: Opportunities and Potentials [10th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings] Debbieh (Lebanon) [Virtual Conference] 12-13 October 2022, pp. 503-514
summary	With the development of advanced digital design approaches and mechanical facilities, architectural intelligence liberates conventional construction from conventional paradigms. Computational design and digital fabrication have achieved progress in space innovation, construction efficiency, and material effectiveness. However, those high-tech manufacturing techniques are not widely available in developing countries, where the locals used to carry construction experience from age to age in a nonacademic way. This study explored a collaborative workflow of complex structural design and machine-aided construction in Chinese rural areas. First, we designed a bamboo pavilion parametrically in an irregular site on a hill. Second, its primary structure was optimized based on determining critical load and earthquake resistance to meet local building codes. Then, before material processing, every bamboo component was numbered by algorithm, with its location and morphological data of length and radian calculated accurately on the construction drawings. In the transitional process from the conventional paradigm by experience towards man-machine collaboration, local workers' manual techniques helped minimize construction errors and improve details, which were not adequately predicted and considered beforehand. This study case suggested that respective advantages of both traditional and digital modes should be integrated and balanced based on collaboration between local construction workers and professional researchers, especially as a social role for future vernacular architecture practice.

summary	Traditional jewelry is the result of knowledge that have been inherited from generation to generation, a traditional activity focused on the skills and manual dexterity of the artisan. In recent decades, a new paradigm for jewelry has emerged thanks to the integration of parametric design and digital additive fabrication technologies. A design project was proposed, aimed to create a series of jewels connecting nature, emotions, and digital technologies. The following methodological sequence was carried out (1) Selection of referents from nature (2) Design concept (3) Parameterized morphological synthesis (4) Morphological explorations (5) Detailed design (6) Materialization through additive fabrication technologies (7) User testing and emotional evaluation (8) Conclusions and improvement proposal. People perceived that the proposals were based on nature, there was a tendency towards positive emotions, such as fascination, desire, pride and hope. Finally, the methods used can be used in other design projects.

title	Towards big data behavioral analysis: rethinking GPS trajectory mining approaches from geographic, semantic, and quantitative perspectives
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/s44223-022-00011-y
source	Architectural Intelligence Journal
summary	The question regarding the actual usage of built environments is of immense importance in behavioral research. Yet traditional methods of collecting and analyzing data on movements and activities often lack needed accuracy and granularity. Thus, this article reviewed and summarized the applicability of emergent GPS trajectory mining approaches in the field of architecture from geographic, semantic, and quantitative perspectives, respectively. Accordingly, three experiments based on a case study using real GPS trajectory data from visitors to the Palace Museum in China were conducted to examine the usefulness and weakness of the aforementioned approaches. The findings revealed that although all three dimensions of the trajectory mining approaches had the potential to provide useful information for architectural and urban design, the higher the dimensionality in utilizing the data, the more effective the approach was in discovering generalizable knowledge of human behavioral pattern. Furthermore, the results suggested that to gain insights into the typological characteristics of human behaviors related to the built environments, the contribution of trajectory data alone was limited, hence, conventional field surveys and questionnaires which contain information on individual characteristics and spatial features should be used in conjunction. Future research and practical implications were outlined.

summary	The scope of this paper is to formulate and evaluate the structure of a viable design workflow that combines a variety of computational tools and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the designer‚s capacity to explore design options within an expanded design space. In light of the autonomous and progressively post-anthropocentric generative capability of recent AI strategies for architectural design, we are interested in investigating some of the challenges involved in the insertion of such AI strategies into a new generative design system, involving data curation and the placement of any AI-assisted model in the overall workflow, as well as its (AI‚s) reciprocity with other computational methods such as discrete assembly and agent-based modeling. The paper presents our interrogation of the proposed AI-assisted framework, demonstrated in experiments of formulating multiple design workflows following different strategies. The workflow strategies show that integrating AI networks into a framework with other computational tools affords a different kind of design exploration than other methods; the prospect of novel solutions is heavily dependent on the interconnectedness of such methods and the dataset curation process. Collectively, the work contributes to innovation in architectural education and practice through enhancing scientific research (in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal 9).

summary	Compared to the take-make-waste-oriented linear economy model, the circular model has been studied since the 1980s. Due to consumption-oriented lifestyles along with having a tendency of considering waste materials as trash, studies on sustainable materials management (SMM) have remained at a theoretical level or created temporary and limited impacts. To ensure SMM supports The European Green Deal, there is a necessity of developing top-down and bottom-up strategies simultaneously, which can be metaphorized as digging a tunnel from two different directions to meet in the middle of a mountain. In parallel with the New European Bauhaus concept, this research aims to create a case study for boosting bottom-up and data-driven methodologies to produce short-loop products made of bio-based biocomposite materials from local food & organic wastes. The Architecture departments of two universities from different countries collaborated to practice these design democratization methodologies using data transfer paths. The 3D printable models, firmware code, and detailed explanation of working with a customized 3D printer paste extruder were shared using online tools. Accordingly, the bio-based biocomposite recipe from eggshell, xanthan gum, and citric acid, which can be provided from local shops, food & organic wastes, was investigated concurrently to enhance its printability feature for generating interior design elements such as a vase or vertical gardening unit. While sharing each step from open-source platforms with adding snapshots and videos allows further development between two universities, it also makes room for other researchers/makers/designers to replicate the process/product. By combining modern manufacturing and traditional crafting methods with materials produced with DIY techniques from local resources, and using global data transfer platforms to transfer data instead of products themselves, this research seeks to unlock the value of co-creative design practices for SMM.

summary	Can we build our cities not only for humans but also for all living systems? How can we consider other species occupants of the built environment? Planning cities as an element of the natural domain can reshape our relationship with nature and help redefine sustainability in architecture. Although current design strategies of reducing energy use does not rectify past/continuing im-balances in the natural environment. Landscape architect John Tillman Lyle expanded the regenerative design concept based on a range of ecological concepts. The environment's complexity, and the urge to use resources smartly, encouraged him to think about architecture and the environment as a whole system. John Lyle's regenerative design strategies scaffold a conceptual framework of treating the building as part of the landscape. Environmental tools such as Ladybug can map out the different conditions surrounding the building's envelope. This information can assist in selecting and populating a building façade with suitable plant species. The framework presents the building as a feature in the landscape, creating microclimatic conditions for various plant habitats. This conceptual workflow has the potential to become a tool to include regenerative principles in the urban context.
