title	Port Heritage: Urban Memory of Harbor Cities (Case Study of Shanghai)
source	ENVISIONING ARCHITECTURE: IMAGE, PERCEPTION AND COMMUNICATION OF HERITAGE [ISBN 978-83-7283-681-6],Lodz University of Technology, 23-26 September 2015, pp.71-81
summary	Through literary review on historical ports from the 1st Opium War to 1949, this paper mainly focuses on the elements and value of modern ports along the Huangpu River from Baoshan to Minhang. These ports with historical events, places and objects are viewed as urban heritage to arise people’s attention to this kind of memory place during the process of urban transformation. Port heritage with unique material relics and immaterial information makes a great contribution to recalling the massive memory and making identity of the port city, which should be preserved definitely.

title	A Possible Palladian Villa
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.1991.135

summary	Ever since Wittkower published Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism in 1949, in which he showed that Palladio's villa plans are based on a tartan grid, it seemed that Palladio's design principles had been encapsulated. When subsequently, in 1978, Mitchell and Stiny enunciated all the topological possibilities for Palladian villa plans, it appeared that the case was closed. Freedman and Hersey have since shown that it is precisely in the application of specific building dimensions and proportions that additional design rules come into play, however. The present study builds on the work of Freedman and Hersey. It uses and extends their method which involves incorporation of the known design principles for Palladian villas, as given implicitly in Palladio's Four Books of Architecture and in his built works, into a computer program capable of generating schematic plans and elevations based on those principles and visually comparing the generated plans and elevations with the known works of Palladio. In cases of disagreement, the reasons for the disagreement help formulate further design rules.

title	Bauhaus Internationalism to College Town Modernism: Exploring Bauhaus Culture in Hajjar’s Hybrid Architecture
source	Ji-Hyun Lee (Eds.) "Hello, Culture!" [18th International Conference, CAAD Futures 2019, Proceedings / ISBN 978-89-89453-05-5] Daejeon, Korea, p. 501
summary	The purpose of this study is to analyze William Hajjar’s singlefamily houses in State College, PA, and compare them with the European modernist work of Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer in the United States. This analysis is performed using shape grammars as a computational design methodology. Hajjar was a member of the architecture faculty at the Pennsylvania State University, a practitioner in State College, and an influential figure in the history of architecture in the area. Shape grammars are used specifically to verify and describe the influences of Bauhaus/European modernism on Hajjar’s domestic architecture. The focus is on establishing Hajjar’s single-family architectural language and comparing it to the architectural language of Gropius (Gropius-Breuer partnership) as the founder of the Bauhaus architecture and a prominent practitioner in introducing European modernism to American architecture students in the mid-twentieth century like Hajjar.

title	Architectural Dramaturgy: A total and endless theatre with multimodal artificial intelligence
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2024.1.559
source	Kontovourkis, O, Phocas, MC and Wurzer, G (eds.), Data-Driven Intelligence - Proceedings of the 42nd Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2024), Nicosia, 11-13 September 2024, Volume 1, pp. 559–564
summary	Close to a century ago, Walter Gropius proposed the highly influential but unrealised project ‘Total Theatre’ (1927). The project captured Gropius’ adapted formulation of ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’(‘total work of art’) as ‘Total Design’ within the Bauhaus, and more specifically, in relation to ‘The Theatre of the Bauhaus’ (1924). The ‘Total Theatre’ was Gropius’ attempt to dynamically reconfigure the previously static relationship between actors and audience into one that is participatory and filmic in spatial layout. Around the same time in history, shortly after designing the set for Eugene O’Neill’s ‘The Emperor Jones’ in 1924, Frederick Kiesler began to conceptualise his ‘Endless Theatre’ (1926). In the former, Kiesler created a constructivist stage space with moving walls/floors/ceilings animating in-sync with the play’s narrative and producing cinematographic effects similar to those found in films. For both Gropius and Kiesler, the theatre is a fertile ground for incorporating the latest technologies to prototype a ‘totally’ multimodal and ‘endlessly’ generative form of architecture. Against the backdrop of such past intellectual efforts in architecture, and that of today’s rapidly foregrounding of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) in artificial intelligence (AI) within the architecture discipline, the paper posits that it is timely to revisit this conceptual cross-fertilisation of theatre and architecture – architectural dramaturgy. In doing so, the research aims to extend Gropius’s and Kiesler’s concept of the ‘total’ and the ‘endless’ respectively through the lens of the ‘computational’. The first experiment uses different datasets from existing established theatre creators to train and prompt-engineer relevant AI models, namely a text-to-text model for playwright Arthur Miller, a text-to-image model for director Ivo van Hove, and a text-to-audio model for composer Stephen Sondheim. In improving the coherence of the results, the second experiment replaces unimodality with multimodality leveraging a single source of video data (the poignant “To be or not to be” soliloquy from Shakespeare’s Hamlet) to formulate a human-in-the-loop interpretative framework by utilising a combination of text-image-to-image model and text-image-to-video model, and further postprocessed with image inpainting model and image-to-3D model. With the deliberate bracketing of site, programmes and other specificities typical of an architecture project, the research demonstrates how concepts borrowed from theatre when layered with multimodal AI could extend the discipline’s longstanding conception of a total and endless architecture.

summary	In an age dominated by the Internet and electronic media it is becoming increasingly clear that our perception of space is also undergoing a profound transformation. The author takes the reader on a fascinating journey, revealing who has played a part in this transformation. Avant-garde artists, including Boccioni, Duchamp and Kandinsky, the architect Gropius, philosophers such as Wittgenstein and psychoanalysts like Carl Gustav Jung all contributed to this development. Today, our awareness of traditional architectural space is changing; buildings are being rendered transparent, fleeting and intangible, enhanced by virtual potential. The author looks at works by Rem Koolhaas, Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, James Wines, Daniel Libeskind, Toyo Ito, which reflect building in an age of virtual realism.

title	Developing a New Approach of Computer Use ‘KISS Modeling’ for Design-Ideas Alternatives of Form Massing: A framework for three-Dimensional Shape Recognition in Initial Design Phases
source	Em‘body’ing Virtual Architecture: The Third International Conference of the Arab Society for Computer Aided Architectural Design (ASCAAD 2007), 28-30 November 2007, Alexandria, Egypt, pp. 745-756
summary	This research aims at developing a new approach called ‘KISS Modeling’. KISS is generally a rule of ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid’ that will be applied in modeling process investigated and presented by the research. The new approach is implemented in a computer program ‘KISS Modeling’ that generates three dimensional forms based on simplifying the concept of shape recognition in design. The research, however, does not employ totally concepts of shape recognition or shape understanding in Artificial Intelligence and psychology. The research, in summary, investigates and describes: 1) a new approach of computer use contributing to generating design-ideas alternatives of form massing in initial design phases, within a simple way that any designer can understand at single glance, 2) implementation of shape recognition for generative three dimensional forms, 3) function to generate different outputs from different recognition, and 4) case studies introduced through applications and functions of the three dimensional modeling system presented by the research. The research concluded that the introduced processes help the user improve the management of conceptual designing through facilitating a discourse of his/her modeling of design-ideas massing.

summary	Despite recent approaches to enable the mass customization of double curved faÃ§ade panels, there still exist challenges including waste reduction, accuracy, surface continuity, economic feasibility, and workflow disintegration. This paper proposes a computational approach for the design and fabrication of materially informed double curved faÃ§ade panels with complex geometry. This approach proposes an optimized workflow to generate customizable double curved panels with complex geometry and different material properties, and optimize fabrication workflow for waste reduction. This workflow is applied to four different fabrication techniques: (1) vacuum forming, (2) clay extrusion, (3) sectioning, and (4) tessellation. Four experiments are introduced to apply surface rationalization and optimization using Rhino and Grasshopper scripting. Upon simulating each of the four design-to-fabrication techniques through different iterations, the experiment results demonstrated how the proposed workflows produced optimized surfaces with higher levels of accuracy and reduced waste material, customized per type of material and surface complexity.

title	Mass-customisation of dwellings in the Middle East:developing a design-to-fabrication framework to resolve the housing crisis in Saudi Arabia
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.157
source	Dokonal, W, Hirschberg, U and Wurzer, G (eds.), Digital Design Reconsidered - Proceedings of the 41st Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2023) - Volume 2, Graz, 20-22 September 2023, pp. 157–164
summary	The Saudi government is taking the initiative to modernise the country and address critical challenges. One of its primary goals is to relieve the housing deficit. One of the challenges in supplying the houses is that potential inhabitants have denied and refused to accept them due to their design failing to meet their demands. Furthermore, the government suffers from providing high-quality housing in line with people’s needs because only a few enterprises can meet the client’s needs, but only at the price of lengthy planning and building times, in addition to increased construction expenses. This research aims to propose a mass customisation design-to-fabrication workflow, which targets environmental optimisation, reduction of construction time and reduced cost and incorporates client involvement. Our research method includes conducting a survey with Saudi Arabian architecture firms to collect data about contemporary clients’ needs, analysing and reviewing mass-customisation tools & techniques, developing a bespoke algorithm capable of mass-customising housing and evaluating the algorithm through design experiments. Our findings present the advantages and challenges of our tool as well as a shape grammar of mass customised floor plan solutions.

summary	Generative design methods may involve a complex design space with an overwhelming number of alternatives with their form and design performance data. Existing research addresses this complexity by introducing various techniques for simplification through clustering and dimensionality reduction. In this study, we further analyze the relevant literature on design space simplification and exploration to identify their potentials and gaps. We find that the potentials include: alleviating the choice overload problem, opening up new venues for interrelating design forms and data, creating visual overviews of the design space and introducing ways of creating form-driven queries. Building on that, we present the first prototype of a design analytics dashboard that combines coordinated and interactive visualizations of design forms and performance data along with the result of simplifying the design space through hierarchical clustering.

summary	Since 1991 Virtual Reality has been used in student projects in the Building Information Technology group. It started as an experimental tool to assess the impact of VR technology in design, using the environment of the associated Calibre Institute. The technology was further developed in Calibre to become an important presentation tool for assessing design variants and final design solutions. However, it was only sporadically used in student projects. A major shift occurred in 1997 with a number of student projects in which various computer technologies including VR were used in the whole of the design process. In 1998, the new Design Systems group started a design studio with the explicit aim to integrate VR in the whole design process. The teaching effort was combined with the research program that investigates VR as a design support environment. This has lead to increasing number of innovative student projects. The paper describes the context and history of VR in Eindhoven and presents the current set-UP of the studio. It discusses the impact of the technology on the design process and outlines pedagogical issues in the studio work.

title	Wave-edge Modeling Method for Segmented Timber Plate Shell Structures: A computational tool for optimizing the bonding area of CLT joints
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.1.301
source	Dokonal, W, Hirschberg, U and Wurzer, G (eds.), Digital Design Reconsidered - Proceedings of the 41st Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2023) - Volume 1, Graz, 20-22 September 2023, pp. 301–310
summary	The paper presents an algorithmic modeling tool for segmented timber shell structures made of glued wave-edge CLT plates. The goal is to provide a larger bonding area and thereby higher adhesive strength between plates, especially where a higher tension-resistant capacity is required. In addition to a number of contemporary research for exploring stereotomic modules, the inspiration is taken from the long history of the traditional glued finger joints in carpentry where they are used for providing higher interlocking capacity and adhesive strength. The structural performance of regular and glued finger joints is directly proportional to the bonding area between adjoining elements where they are interlocked and glued. Hence, expanding the shared faces would intrinsically magnify the structural performance of the glued finger joints. The paper presents the modeling method of a material-efficient, grain-informed, and structurally-optimized wedge edge joint system for the multi-shaped shell structures where the wave pattern is chosen for generating smoother fabrication toolpaths compared to any sharp-cornered pattern. The algorithm developed by the authors can efficiently maximize the glue bond by optimizing the wave-edge properties dynamically with respect to the geometric design, material system, and structural analysis within a feedback loop. The wave-edge properties directly affect the material waste and fabrication time and cost; therefore, the production parameters could be directly considered and controlled within the design process. The algorithm is able to produce the structural data model for the direct RFEM structural analysis, and fabrication data for automated production of multitude elements. The paper argues the application possibilities and limitations of the joint system for multi-shaped timber plate shells made of a multitude of geometrically-differentiated timber plates.

title	ReciprocalShell: A hybrid timber system for robotically-fabricated lightweight shell structures
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.1.651
source	Dokonal, W, Hirschberg, U and Wurzer, G (eds.), Digital Design Reconsidered - Proceedings of the 41st Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2023) - Volume 1, Graz, 20-22 September 2023, pp. 651–660
summary	Reciprocal timber systems have been widely studied, however they have never been directly applied to the segmented timber shell structures as cross bracing of the polygonal topologies. For the first time, this paper presents an innovative hybrid timber system developed for design and construction of the robotically-fabricated lightweight timber shell structures. The paper integrates two configurations of wood beams: polygonal framing and reciprocal bracing. While, the polygonal topology of facets enables a constant distance offset for the thickness of the shell, the reciprocal configuration allows for cross bracing of polygonal frames where diagonals within the polygons cannot directly connect corners due to geometric constraints resulted by the free-form surface structure of shell shapes. Joining the cross-bracing elements in the center of the polygons with a reciprocal node reduces the complexity of the connection system at nodes while demonstrating the high load-bearing capacity of joints to withstand structural loads throughout the structure, compared to connecting 5, 6 or 7 beams in a single point. The article discusses the application and limitations of the timber system while presenting the design-to-assembly process of a case study of the small-scale shell demonstrator with the maximum span of 7.5 meters made of 144 wood elements for each polygonal and reciprocal configurations. The results show that the timber system has a great capacity for the rapid and precise assembly and disassembly of prefabricated timber structures. Generation of similar but different solid elements, allowed for the development of a custom CAD data interface for the automated production of numerous pieces, where simple joint details are applied for both alignment and attachment of beams, reducing the design complexity and facilitate the construction phase. As the result, the fabrication process was completely carried out with only a saw blade in a multi-axis robotic fabrication set up that enables the rapid, precise, and accurate cuts and grooves. Both timber configurations generate a uniform distribution of beam size, meaning that the production process created only a minimal amount of offcuts that allows for the use of simple and cost-efficient, short solid wood pieces.

title	Four-Dimensional Printing on Textiles Evaluating Digital File-to-Fabrication Workflows for Self-Forming Composite Shell Structures
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.1.491

summary	This design-led research investigates the development of self-forming wearable composite structures by printing embossed patterns out of flexible filament on pre-stretched textiles and releasing the stress after the printing has been completed, whereby time becomes the fourth dimension of the printing process. In particular, the study presents and compares three methods of ‘file-to-fabrication’ techniques for generating self-forming textile shell structures: The first is based on modified geometrical patterns in relation to curvature analysis, the second on printed patterns related to their stress line simulation and the third on an analysis of the anisotropic shrinking behaviour of stripe patterns. The findings emphasize the advantages and challenges of each method as well as present a comparative table chart highlighting the relationship between material properties, pattern geometry and the formal vocabulary of the composite shells.

title	Mobile Augmented Reality for Aided Manual Assembly of Compressed Earth Block Dwellings

summary	This paper investigates how augmented reality (AR) can instruct and assist in assembling an earthen structure consisting of a limited set of geometrically different interlocking blocks. By adapting a visual-inertial object tracking software, to the assembly process of a mortarless, compressed earth block (CEB) dome, the construction site no longer needs physical templates and manuals. This enables the builders to have real-time tracking with visual feedback to actively adjust according to the optical guidance during the course of assembly. Two identical dome structures are built with the same set of earth blocks, one with AR and one without. The results show that using AR can significantly improve construction efficiency for complex, dry-stacked structures as it acts as assembly guidance and provides insight into the limits of the tracking tolerances. Further, this paper discusses the limitations and challenges and can provide an outlook for further research scaling up the production to construct a habitable dwelling. Starting with just a pile of dirt and a mobile phone, the demonstrator exhibits the compatibility of local, sustainable materials and digital, efficient processes.

summary	Evolution of trends in the realm of computer aided architectural design (CAAD) has seen the convergence of technologies – complementing traditional tools with emerging sciences like Information Technology (IT) and multimedia applications. This appliqué of technologies has not just expanded the scope and enhanced the realm of CAAD research and practice, but is also breaking new frontiers. This creative nexus will be realised at the 7th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research In Asia (CAADRIA 2002) to be held at the Faculty of Creative Multimedia, Multimedia University, Malaysia, between 18th-20th April, 2002. CAADRIA 2002’s theme, "Redefining Content", seeks to recognise and infuse these emerging components in the field of architecture and design with a holistic approach towards online, digital and interactive systems. The 41 papers compiled were selected through a blind review process conducted by an international review panel. To reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of this year's conference, the chapters are arranged topically to facilitate the in-depth study of key components. The component sessions include: // Web Design, Database and Networks // CAD, Modelling and Tools // Collaborative Design, Creative Design and Case Reasoning // Simulation and Prototyping // Virtual Environment and Knowledge Management // Design Education, Teaching and Learning /// We believe that this specialised approach will provide a deeper and more illuminating feel of the various components and their critical convergence in the field of architecture and design.

summary	Amongst the countless benefits of BIM, clash detection appears to be one of the most recognized ones. This is due to the automated manner in which clashes can be detected in the design stage in comparison to the cumbersome drawing-based clash detection applied in traditional design coordination. When BIM clash detection software, such as Navisworks or Solibri, is used, thousands of clashes can be detected automatically, and a report is generated containing a list of all the clashes with an image of each clash. In most cases, a large number of irrelevant/ignorable clashes can be found, making it extremely difficult and time-consuming to classify those clashes in order to assign responsibilities to manage those clashes, and more importantly specifying which clashes are relevant and which are not. Therefore, finding an automated machine-enabled method to classify clashes into relevant and irrelevant appears to be indispensable. This paper provides the first step towards this automation by developing a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm capable of recognizing the types of elements from images that are originated from the clash detection report. To achieve this, a Deep Learning (DL) algorithm called ‘YOLO’, that is based on object recognition, is developed, and a set of various images indicating different kinds of clashes are used as the dataset. Using the “Makesense” platform, the images are labeled into different categories to feed the algorithm. The algorithm was able to recognize trusses and beams from the images saved in the data set, which is the first step towards object classification. The paper contributes to the knowledge by, firstly, enabling the clashes to be classified based on images rather than numeric information data, and secondly, by applying the DL algorithm that is used in many author industries in the context of clash detection within a construction project.

summary	This paper proposes a computational design education approach where students learn to develop their own geometric and logical workflows beyond specific software and platform. The course’s objectives are to familiarize architecture students with computational geometry, foster computational thinking that stays relevant over time, and promote democratized design tools through computation. Over a semester, we taught students to work directly on coordinates or numerical representations by utilizing 3-Dimensional (3D) computer graphics programming rather than learning 3D modeling software that rapidly goes out of style. This paper outlines our teaching methods to introduce the technology stack, design algorithm development, open-source or free tools implementation, and user experience – interface design. This paper also reviews the student’s final projects to deliver interactive web-browser applications for architectural design of varied scales and compares them according to four evaluation parameters. The paper culminates with the project's critical assessment and students' feedback to evaluate our approach and suggest an outlook for future development.
