title	3D Studio Max R3 : Visual QuickStart Guide
source	Peachpit Press
summary	Audiences today are more visually sophisticated than ever before, creating a booming demand for special effects--such as 3D--and people who have the skills to create them. However, 3D software is infinitely more complex (and expensive) than its traditional 2D counterparts. Make the most of your time and financial investment with this guide. This book is the tool of choice for professional artists who use Windows to create 3D images and animations for print, TV, the movies, and the Web. This book gives you clear, step-by-step instructions to all the important features of the program, illustrated with lots of helpful screenshots. For inspiration, there's a full-color gallery of original work created by the author and other accomplished artists.

title	The miniature city: the use of rapid prototyping techniques to make urban scale models.
source	SIGraDi 2009 - Proceedings of the 13th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, Sao Paulo, Brazil, November 16-18, 2009
summary	The aim of the present paper is to describe a case study about the production of scale models of large urban areas with the use of digital prototyping techniques. Throughout the year 2008, the Laboratory for Automation and Prototyping in Architecture and Construction (LAPAC) was commissioned with the production of a scale model of the State University of Campinas´ campus. Laser-cutting and Selective Laser Sintering were used to produce the terrain and the buildings. The products that resulted from this research demonstrate that rapid prototyping processes are extremely helpful to produce scale models of large urban areas.

title	Method for Finding Elements Similar to Those Causing Building Component Failure Based on Building Information Models
source	M. Haeusler, M. A. Schnabel, T. Fukuda (eds.), Intelligent & Informed - Proceedings of the 24th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 2, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand, 15-18 April 2019, pp. 21-30
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2019.2.021
summary	In this study, we propose a method for finding elements similar to those that cause failure based on the spatial information and properties of the building component network in building information models (BIMs). As an example of failure, we selected the degradation of fittings such as doors. The developed process was performed using a BIM software package. First, we identified elements that had experienced failure based on past repair records. Then, similar elements were found based on information for a door class obtained from the selected element. Finally, the elements were filtered using either spatial or attribute information, and the results were exported as a comma-separated values file. An operation that adds other information to the attribute information of the elements extracted from the BIM is also proposed. After a sufficient number of items were identified, elements similar to the failed elements are identified by sorting.

title	A history and application of visual simulation in which perceptual behaviour movement is measured.
source	Architectural and Urban Simulation Techniques in Research and Education [3rd EAEA-Conference Proceedings]
summary	For our research on perception and judgment, we have developed a new visual simulation system based on the previous system. Here, we report on the development history of our system and on the current research employing it. In 1975, the first visual simulation system was introduced, witch comprised a fiberscope and small-scale models. By manipulating the fiberscope's handles, the subject was able to view the models at eye level. When the pen-size CCD TV camera came out, we immediately embraced it, incorporating it into a computer controlled visual simulation system in 1988. It comprises four elements: operation input, drive control, model shooting, and presentation. This system was easy to operate, and the subject gained an omnidirectional, eye-level image as though walking through the model. In 1995, we began developing a new visual system. We wanted to relate the scale model image directly to perceptual behavior, to make natural background images, and to record human feelings in a non-verbal method. Restructuring the above four elements to meet our equirements and adding two more (background shooting and emotion spectrum analysis), we inally completed the new simulation system in 1996. We are employing this system in streetscape research. Using the emotion spectrum system, we are able to record brain waves. Quantifying the visual effects through these waves, we are analyzing the relation between visual effects and physical elements. Thus, we are presented with a new aspect to study: the relationship between brain waves and changes in the physical environment. We will be studying the relation of brain waves in our sequential analysis of the streetscape.

title	Study on Psychological Evaluation of Architectural Elements and Spaces in Western Paintings
source	ENVISIONING ARCHITECTURE: IMAGE, PERCEPTION AND COMMUNICATION OF HERITAGE [ISBN 978-83-7283-681-6],Lodz University of Technology, 23-26 September 2015, pp.209-218
summary	The objective of the research is to analyze the psychological evaluation of the spatial representation in the Western paintings to obtain the insights to the reception of the two-dimensional architectural images. The psychological evaluation experiment based on the SD methods was conducted using 15 Western paintings to quantitatively measure the impression of the spatial representation by the viewers. Through the factor analysis and the cluster analysis, it was revealed that the certain types of compositions evoke similar impression and psychological evaluation in the viewers’ mind, regardless of the time period or style.

title	Exploiting ambiguity: The diffraction artefact and the architectural surface
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 17 - no. 1, 103-115
summary	In the contemporary ‘envisioned’ environment, Internet webcams, low- and high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles and satellites are the new vantage points from which to construct the image of the city. Armed with hi-resolution digital optical technologies, these vantage points effectively constitute a ubiquitous visioning apparatus serving either the politics of promotion or surveillance. Given the political dimensions of this apparatus, it is important to note that this digital imaging of public urban space refers to the human visual system model. In order to mimic human vision, a set of algorithm patterns are used to direct numerous ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ technologies. Mimicry thus has a cost because this insistence on the human visual system model necessitates multiple transformative moments in the production and transmission pipeline. If each transformative moment opens a potential vulnerability within the visioning apparatus, then every glitch testifies to the artificiality of the image. Moreover, every glitch potentially interrupts the political narratives be communicated in contemporary image production and transmission. Paradoxically, the current use of scripting to create glitch-like images has reimagined glitches as a discrete aesthetic category. This article counters this aestheticisation by asserting glitching as a disruption in communication. The argument will rely on scaled tests produced by one of the authors who show how duplicating the digital algorithmic patterns used within the digital imaging pipeline on any exterior building surface glitches the visual data captured within that image. Referencing image-based techniques drawn from the Baroque and contemporary modes of camouflage, it will be argued that the visual aberrations created by these algorithm-based patterned facades can modify strategically the ‘emission signature’ of selected parts of the urban fabric. In this way, the glitch becomes a way to intercede in the digital portrayal of city.

title	A Productive Ambiguity:Diffraction Aberrations as a Template for the Architectural Surface
source	P. Janssen, P. Loh, A. Raonic, M. A. Schnabel (eds.), Protocols, Flows, and Glitches - Proceedings of the 22nd CAADRIA Conference, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Suzhou, China, 5-8 April 2017, pp. 571-580
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.571
summary	The hi-resolution imaging of public urban space for both promotional and surveillance purposes is now undertaken by a range of ubiquitous visioning technology such as Internet webcams, drones (UAV's) and high-altitude aircraft cameras. The ability to control and manipulate these types of images is a growing concern in an increasingly 'envisioned' environment. One approach is to disrupt or modify the 'emission signatures' of urban surfaces, which requires an understanding of the digital algorithms used to assemble and transmit image content into grids of visual data. Recent scaled tests show that Fraunhofer diffraction algorithms can interfere with the smooth transmission of image data. When these algorithmic patterns are physically constructed into a building façade, they create natural disruption glitches in the camera's successful transmission of visual data. The paper details how the quantum of visual aberration in the digital portrayal of the city can be determined by algorithm-based façade patterning.

title	Interactive 3D-Presentations and their Possibilities in Architectural Education and Real Designing (Digital Architecture Simulation)
source	Proceedings of the 8th European Architectural Endoscopy Association Conference
summary	Architectural designs come alive in people’s minds. It takes a lot of effort and time to make them real and tangible. But you cannot start the construction unless you have a clear picture in your mind. And here the imaginative part comes to the fore. We use technology that makes incredible things happen. One gets the ability to watch and experience the whole building in three-dimensions before it is made real! From now on you can create and feel the life-like architecture in Virtual Environment (VE).

title	It’s Art Baby - The Science of Comparing and Scoring Artistic Endeavour at Schools of Higher Education

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.527
summary	Scientific output has well-established methods for comparing and scoring the quality and quantity of the work. For artistic output this matter is not settled at all and a subject of much debate. We present a method which has been developed in Czech republic since 2011. This method is used to compare and score the artistic output of all schools of arts in the country (for example, music, performative arts, architecture, literature, sculpture, painting). The system presented in this paper is based on the Saaty-method (also known as Analytic Hierarchy Process). After almost eight years of development and use, the system has proven as a valuable asset to assess in an objective way output between many different forms of artistic works. In 2016 the system was incorporated in the Higher Education Act. In the paper we present a brief history of the development and the principles of AHP applied in the system. In particular, we will focus on the findings in architecture derived from the system. Finally, we will discuss possible implications for architectural education in general.

summary	The natural and the man-made environment is under increasing stress. We are entering a phase when the exploitation of energy resources is likely to cause a dramatic acceleration in our rate of impact on the natural environment; in particular, there is cause for serious concern regarding the damaging visual impact of energy related developments - oil terminals, dams, power stations, electricity transmission lines, open cast mining - on remaining areas of relatively unspoilt rural landscape. In the developed countries, the urban environment is presenting architects, planners and development agencies with some of the most significant and intractable problems in the last decade of the 20 Century. The problems are the most chronic in those cities which rose to greatness at the height of the industrial revolution- as heavy industry has declined, industrial sites have become derelict, the working population has drifted away and housing has fallen below tolerable standards. Yet in most cases, much evidence of urban greatness remains - in the grandeur of the public buildings, in the scale of the cityscape and in the spirit of those who still have their homes, and their cultural roots, in the inner city.

title	Multi-Media Archive of Historical Architecture
source	Europa Nostra , vol 10
summary	With funding from the European Union TEMPUS programme, four Universities have been working collaboratively to develop multi-media tools which help us understand the historical development of settlements and plan future developments which enhance rather than diminish the quality of the visual environment. The context taken for the collaboration was the historic region of Split on the Dalmatian stretch of the Adriatic coast. The Universities involved in the collaboration are the University of Strathclyde, the University of Rome (La Sapienza), the University Polytechnic of Catalunya and the University of Zagreb. The unique character of Split, catalogued by the University of Zagreb and the Split Institute of Urban Planning, owes much to the decision of the Emperor Deocletia to build his Palace on the coast south of Salona - which in the 4th century was the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The Slav invasion of the 6th century drove citizens from Salonia south to Split to found a new city. After being dominated by the Byzantine Empire, Split then enjoyed free commune status , and subsequently became part of the Republic of Venice. After the fall of the Venetian Republic, the fortifications of the small city were demolished and the development of the modern city of Split began.
