title	Architecture of Many Media (Architecture is Many Media)
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1995.395
source	Multimedia and Architectural Disciplines [Proceedings of the 13th European Conference on Education in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe / ISBN 0-9523687-1-4] Palermo (Italy) 16-18 November 1995, pp. 395-400
summary	Basis issues concerning media need redefining, because new media should not be perceived and approached according to traditional conventions. Present understanding of a medium as a mean of linear transmission, with the primary role of sender is no more sufficient, is too simple. The possibility of mutual and multidirectional communication in the real time makes the distinction between sender and receiver not so clear. The roles are effacing, but actions, processes are not. When receiver becomes sender, the process of receiving is always distinct from sending. The importance of the process, the attention must move towards a temporal process of transmitting of the receiving. When the process changes, the message (even when ´only´ its form) changes, receiving changes because it is an active action. This paper is the collection of ideas for discussion.

title	Abstract Modelling - Forming and Exploring
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1994.x.o5l
source	The Virtual Studio [Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Education in Computer Aided Architectural Design / ISBN 0-9523687-0-6] Glasgow (Scotland) 7-10 September 1994, p. 214
summary	Architectural design is always concerned with form to things. It is the sphere or action where meanings are to be expressed and further on - received (by a receiver), felt, understood. "Meanings" mean not only rational information. The matter is to reach the essence and to master ways appropriate to expose and interprete it. Quality of the form decides whether architectural or any work is worth attention or not and to what degree. Form is an attribute of a thing. It is form that "speaks". This linguistic metaphore shows one of natural, inborn features of things and states. However, questions appear: 1. Does everything have form? 2. Is the form an objective term? 3. What limitations of the definition of the form to accept- if any? The friendly environment for creating form consists of conscious intentions plus open mind. Rules are certain, but liquid. Every formal communication system may be widened individually. The only limitation is to be received according to intentions. So, incredibly, the infinite number of combinations, even within one system, may be possible.

title	Towards Affective Architectural Computing: An Additional Element in CAAD
source	CAD Creativeness [Conference Proceedings / ISBN 83-905377-0-2] Bialystock (Poland), 25-27 April 1996 pp. 121-135
summary	The sphere of computing, in general, is the sphere of confusion. First, computers', thanks to (or because o) the indirect way of communicating "with" them, have not become yet the obvious and natural extension of human abilities - as TV set, radio or cars already have. It is probably because of the feeling, that they are, more or less, for specialists and that they require special knowledge or skills. In a way it is true, but surely it will change within a few years, when they become everyday tools of education at schools or just toys for children. Second, there is also the feeling or wish, that every computer is able to do everything we want - from, lets say, writing a letter, washing the dishes to very complex things as, for example, designing architecture. This is the dream of universal artificial intelligence, which should be a perfect servant, which not only listens to, but also predicts our wishes.

title	Creation Versus Simulation Synthesis Versus Analysis
source	Approaches to Computer Aided Architectural Composition [ISBN 83-905377-1-0] 1996, pp. 119-132
summary	The paper presents the work in progress: formal experiments in computer modelling, accenting a certain shift approaching the computer - creation, not just modelling (simulating). Two main approaches to architectural computing are formulated: creative and simulative, where computer creation involves and enables quick formal synthesis, and where simulation requires analysis. The attention is paid on creation. This paper as well as the research project on abstract modelling is sponsored from the Polish Committee of Scientific Research.

title	Education of the Architect - Two Approaches Towards Possible Places of CAD
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1996.211
source	Education for Practice [14th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9523687-2-2] Lund (Sweden) 12-14 September 1996, pp. 211-220
summary	This paper discusses the limitations of the most of educational systems of the present, which seem to be no longer sufficient to face the problems of the modern world. This concerns as well architectural education. Computer Aided Design is considered here as a specific case in a wider context of general goals of education. The linear, memory based, cause - effect model of education, where remembering of final effects of the processes is the criterion of teaching efficiency, does not respond to the growing complexity of problems. The task for today is to develop the individual ability to synthesise and creatively explore spheres between separate fields and reconsider the issue of values. This paper therefore emphasises the importance of the person in education, seeing the problem of its full development as a new base and final aim for education as a whole.

title	CAAD and Architecture - Fields of Transformation
source	AVOCAAD First International Conference [AVOCAAD Conference Proceedings / ISBN 90-76101-01-09] Brussels (Belgium) 10-12 April 1997, pp. 227- 234
summary	Thinking of using computers in architecture, we have probably already learnt that there is much more than just one general way of doing so. At the same time, the general description of the field - i.e. the 'title' Computer Aided Architectural Design' has become a rhetorical figure - actually it covers much more activities than those just aiding design. To some extent computers change architecture introducing new values into it. This does not mean that they change architecture at all, but these new values begin to exist pararelly to the already present and accepted ones. In such sense architecture is changed - one of the possible branches of development is the one related to computers (no matter how complex this branch itself is).

summary	This paper presents the educational experiment, which emerged from the junction of different inspirations and needs. It joins the experiences from an individual research on intuitive 3d computer modelling, courses of traditional architectural composition and the idea of individualisation of the computer use in architectural design education. It shows how computers were used in part of architectural education in a non-computer-oriented course. The experiment was included to and further developed within the frame of AVOCAAD project.

title	New Pattern for Architectural Computing Education - Positivist vs. Constructivist Approaches
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.1.317
source	Kepczynska-Walczak, A, Bialkowski, S (eds.), Computing for a better tomorrow - Proceedings of the 36th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, Lodz University of Technology, Lodz, Poland, 19-21 September 2018, pp. 317-322
summary	The paper discusses the possibilities of replacing the prevailing, positivistic approach in the field of architectural computing education with the constructivist one. The mentioned approaches represent radically different philosophies of what knowledge is and how it is produced. In the field of professional education they also differently define the competencies of the professional. Nowadays, in architecture, where the design digital platforms producers force the philosophy of 'standards', the need for rethinking our general approach to architectural computing becomes an urgent issue.

summary	In this paper we are proposing a Multi Agent System (MAS) framework for the facilitation of distributed collaboration in the AEC/FM domain. We are showing how the stack of technologies developed in the Semantic Web community can be put to use for the specific requirements of the building industry. Based on our earlier findings and developments in the area of logic based knowledge representations for the Design and Construction industry, we are outlining how these can form the semantic foundations of internal agent representations and their interconnection using speech acts.

title	Multimodal Spatial Emergence in the Design of Sensate Spaces
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2005.427
source	Digital Design: The Quest for New Paradigms [23nd eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-3-2] Lisbon (Portugal) 21-24 September 2005, pp. 427-432
summary	Design of reactive, intelligent and sensate spaces is a form of spatial design that demands creating thinking in terms of non-permanent, non-tactile and sometimes non-visual media. This implies spatial conceptualization using sensory modalities that are ordinarily of secondary importance to vision in design, such as proprioception and hearing. This paper explores these alternative modalities for both spatial perception and spatial expression with a view to developing innovative interfaces for spatial design. Computer games and installation art environments are analyzed for use of alternative spatial immersion techniques. This informs a physical spatial interaction environment. Motion-capture input and digital auditory output provide real-time, intuitive feedback to the user. Useful interaction strategies are acquired that can be used in a non-intrusive manner in sensate spaces for communal, commercial, or public contexts.

title	Agent-agent interaction as a component of agent-environment interaction in the modelling and analysis of pedestrian visual behaviour
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2011.555
source	Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / The University of Newcastle, Australia 27-29 April 2011, pp. 555-564
summary	This multidisciplinary project involves concepts from architectural design, statistical learning, machine vision, and human ecology. The focus is on analysing how pedestrians’ dynamic behaviour in space is influenced by the environmental design of different architectural scenarios. This paper presents a multi-agent pedestrian simulation and analysis system that supports agent-to-agent interactions, different spatial desires, and interpersonal distance. The system simulates and analyses pedestrian spatial behaviour with combined focus on movement trajectories, walking speed, and the visual gaze vector. The analysis component relies on learning a statistical model characterising normal/abnormal behaviour, based on sample observations of regular pedestrian movements without/with the impacts of significant visual attractions in the environment. Using the example of Wheeler Place in Newcastle (Australia) our pilot experiments demonstrate how pedestrian behaviour characteristics can depend on selected features in the visual environment. The presented system will allow architects and urban designers to obtain better assessment of planned urban spaces and streetscape characteristics and their impacts on pedestrian behaviour.

title	Building a spatially immersive display - HUTCAVE
source	Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo, Finland
summary	A spatially immersive display is a display that surrounds the user, thus removing or alleviating many disadvantages the common virtual reality systems, such as head-mounted displays have. The most common example of these spatially immersive displays is the CAVE, "CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment", first built at University of Illinois, in 1993. It combines a large field-of-view with high-resolution images and a high frame refresh rate. In this work, the current Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Environment (VE) systems are examined, and then the CAVE construction is presented. Principles of stereo vision are explained and current methods of obtaining both autostereoscopic and stereopsis-based vision are reviewed. Aspects of different projection methods, screens, mirrors, projectors, tracking equipment, and computing systems are examined. Also, recent work in CAVE audio, so far neglected in research, is presented. Some of the mathematics is also explained, since in most CAVE-systems some sort of optical folding is necessary. Two cases of CAVE construction are presented, both at the Helsinki University of Technology. The first is a single-wall installation built as a temporary system, and the second is a four-sided CAVE at a new location, superseding the temporary installation. Finally the conclusions are presented, both from the process management point of view, and from the technical point of view, examining the good and bad points of the chosen solutions.

summary	This practice-led research lies at the intersection of design, craft, materials science, and biology. Inspired by the responsive mechanism of plant’s biological actuators, and Nature's outstanding capacity of attaining maximal performances while using minimum resources. This thesis explores how to achieve a higher level of integration between the generation of form and behavior with its materialization and fabrication.This research proposes to endow a conventional laminar elastic material with unconventional behavior. Taking as inspiration plants biological actuators, which allows them to sense and adapt according to different environmental stimuli. We explored, developed, and fabricated a range of cellular structures (and in particular auxetics) that have out of the plane shape morphing capabilities, displaying a distinctive behavior in response to a design pattern (spatial cell arrangement) and an actuating force.The final design is a material/geometry-based actuator with reversible behavior, an active material with integrated tunable and responsive capacity which provides the capabilities to sense, adapt and respond to external stimuli within the structure of the material.

title	Towards a dynamic evacuation system: developing methodologies to simulate the evacuation capabilities of subway stations in response to a terrorist attack with CBRNE weapons
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2014.1.109
source	Thompson, Emine Mine (ed.), Fusion - Proceedings of the 32nd eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, Department of Architecture and Built Environment, Faculty of Engineering and Environment, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, UK, 10-12 September 2014, pp. 109-118
summary	Events in recent times have highlighted the vulnerability of underground public transportation to possible terrorist attacks. A key question therefore is how an evacuation can be accomplished from underground stations safely. The strategy “go up and take the nearest exit to the surface” might not be the best response. Evidence from the Daegu subway station fire in 2003, investigated by Tsujimoto (2003) and Jeon and Hong (2009) establish that smoke or toxic airborne substances from a terrorist attack tend to use the same direct routes used by the fleeing passengers and as result significant injuries or fatalities can occur. This study proposes the concept of a dynamic evacuation system which would guide subway users along safe routes. To test how this system may operate, the study discussed combines measurements from tracer gas experiments with climate measurements to establish how toxic agents spread in subway stations under certain conditions and combines these results with those from pedestrian simulations applied to calculate evacuation times for possible escape routes. By integrating the resulting dataset from these methods, an evidence base of how a dynamic evacuation system may work can start to form.

summary	In this paper, we discuss the results of a collaboration between the Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS), the Dominion Sculptor of Canada, and the Heritage Conservation Directorate (HCD) of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on the development of a digitally-assisted stone carving process. The collaboration couples the distinguished skill of the Dominion Sculptor with digital acquisition and digital fabrication technologies in the reconstruction of a stone relief sculpture on the façade of the East Block building of the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa, Canada. A variety of digital technologies were used including, hand-held laser scanning, digital photogrammetry, 3d-printing, CNC milling, and robotic stone milling, in initial research for the fabrication of maquettes and the collaboration with the Dominion Sculptor.

title	Integrative Design Strategies for Multimedia in Architecture
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2011.372

summary	Multidisciplinary efforts that have shaped the current integration of multimedia into architectural spaces have primarily been conducted by collaborative efforts among art, engineering, interaction design, informatics and software programming. These collaborations have focused on the complexities of designing for applications of multimedia in specific real world contexts. Outside a small but growing number of researchers and practitioners, architects have been largely absent from these efforts. This has resulted in projects that deal primarily with developing technologies augmenting existing architectural environments. (Greenfield and Shepard 2007)This paper examines the potential of multimedia and architecture integration to create new possibilities for architectural space. Established practices of constructing architecture suggest creating space by conventional architectural means. On the other hand, multimedia influences and their effect on the tectonics, topos and typos (Frampton 2001) of an architectural space (‘multimedia effects matrix’) suggest new modes of shaping space. It is proposed that correlations exist between those two that could inform unified design strategies. Case study analyses were conducted examining five works of interactive spaces and multimedia installation artworks, selected from an initial larger study of 25 works. Each case study investigated the means of shaping space employed, according to both conventional architectural practices and the principles of multimedia influence (in reference to the ‘multimedia effects matrix’) (James and Nagasaka 2010, 278-285). Findings from the case studies suggest strong correlations between the two approaches to spatial construction. To indicate these correlations, this paper presents five speculative integrative design strategies derived from the case studies, intended to inform future architectural design practice.

summary	Design is a fundamentally collaborative activity. It commonly calls on a wide range of expertise and is arguably most effective when all contributions can be considered from an early and highly conceptual phase of the process. The sharing of information, particularly in a process that, at its best, involves collective conceptualisation is complicated by the very close and reciprocal relationship between the partial knowledge about the object of design and the mode of expression or representation of these ideas. As the design process and its numerous inputs, iterations and interrelationships become embedded in the communications; knowledge capture, management and access become central issues. This paper will selectively recount some of the substantive evidence for the characteristics of communication environments most supportive to design collaboration. In response to these findings it will introduce the use of wiki as the basis of an environment to provide this support, provide more detailed examples of the ways in which wiki has been adopted in early collaborative experiments and describe the developments currently being implemented, and how these are being tested in use.

summary	This research proposed an urban platform designed to facilitate the sharing of community experience in the spatial context of traditional 'alley'. 'Smart Alley' refers to a smart space in which various urban media, supported with IoT technologies, interplays so that the creation and consumption of media content leads to vivid social interactions in this specific urban space. The proposed urban platform is driven by the Content Management System (CMS). An urban ontology works as a logic model of the CMS. This paper focused on the conceptualization and design of both CMS and ontology modules within the smart alley framework. Outcomes from the 'Smart Alley Workshop' are presented, which was conducted to develop smart services to utilize the smart alley platform.
