title	Optimal Choice of the Equipment Depending on the Requirements of Educational Projecting
source	The Future of Endoscopy [Proceedings of the 2nd European Architectural Endoscopy Association Conference / ISBN 3-85437-114-4]
summary	The means of architectural endoscopy play an important role in teaching architects, making it possible to form effectively spatial perception. However, the high price of the up-to-date equipment requires its optimal implementation. On the early stages of training architectural students it is reasonable to use sufficiently simple devices: telemaketoscope connected with a 386DX-computer and printer to get static video series. More complicated educational projects demand studying the object in movement, so a VHS or S-VHS VCR is added to the system. And at last one most employ complex system, comprising minimum 486DX-computer, videostudio and special modernized camcorder is intended for real architectural projects. Such systems make it possible to combine the projected object with the real environment, executing the object itself either in the form of a computer 3D-model or in the form of scale model. The examples of training and real works, mentioned in the paper, illustrate the efficiency of employing proposed system in various fields of architectural designing.

title	Some suggestions about the role of text information on video simulation.
source	Architectural and Urban Simulation Techniques in Research and Education [3rd EAEA-Conference Proceedings]
summary	In the initial project of our laboratory on video modelling it was not thought necessary to seek permission from the authors of the architectural designs discussed in the accompanying scenarios and scripts. We would like to propose that the authors participate in the presentation of the video work by commenting on their designs as they are shown on screen. The difficulty of presenting a commentary on work, improving the quality of design modelling and its presentation, depends on the thorough working-out and consistency of scripts and textual information. Our presentation will illustrate through video examples our present approach to the problems of video-modelling in this field.

title	Technical Conception of Videosystems Laboratory at Moscow Institute of Architecture

summary	The basic point of our conception is not to submit the architect to technical means, but give him freedom of choice and the opportunity to work in the environment closest to the real one. In our situation it means, that we should provide work in real videoinformative space. Thus, our conception of education is to give all the junior students compulsory general information about videosimulation, and to ensure optional more professional work of undergraduates while carrying out their school projects. We consider, that in the architect’s activity simulation (making small-scale models) plays an essential part, because the small-scale model is the first and the only source of true three-dimensional information about the object designed. At the same time videosimulation does not deny or substitute computer-aided design. To get reliable visual information from the model is possible with the help of special technical means equipped with periscopic devices. In Moscow Institute of Architecture this work has been carried out for 10 years.

summary	Historically mock-up projecting turned out to be one of the bases of architectural education in the Moscow Architectural Institute. In spite of the fact, that technical progress did not pass over this Institute, introducing elements of computer techniques into the process of education, traditional methods do still prevail. In some sense it is a positive phenomenon, which does not allow this Institute to become ,one of the many typical ones", though in the epoch of global scientific and technical progress here this situation is forced. Under the economic conditions, established in this country, it is impossible to ensure such computer equipment, which would make the process of teaching students up-to-date methods of computer-aided design possible and really general, and make frontal employment of computers for solving complex design problems quite real. Now we can speak only about selective - optional teaching students mastering computer methods on the modern level. At the same time it was noted repeatedly, that essential defects are common to the traditional designing, especially when it concerns education; these defects are connected with a great degree of abstracting the model of the projected object (by the way this concerns also computer models), realized in the form of a small-scale mock-up. This is due to the representation of the projected object separated from the real environment as well as difference in the scales of the observer and the observed object. Mistakes in perception and appreciation caused in this way affect the efficiency of training disastrously. Luckily the available variety of sufficiently simple and cheap technical devices allows to overcome the mentioned defects to a considerable degree and combining these devices with personal computers makes it possible to enlarge their possibilities considerably. And at the same time due to the specific character of the employment it becomes unnecessary to have a lot of computers and the employed technologies turn out to be more "friendly" to the architect practically not demanding him to have complicated special knowledge. We mean special videocomputer technologies ("multimedia"), including the employment of periscope devices (environmental simulator or "telemaketoscope").

title	Some features of movement as one of the necessary elements for thedevelopment of architectural education
source	Motion, E-Motion and Urban Space [Proceedings of the 7th European Architectural Endoscopy Association Conference / ISBN-10: 3-00-019070-8 - ISBN-13: 978-3-00-019070-4], pp. 209-219
summary	As to the Russian word “dvizhenije” two almost equal English words - “movement” and “motion” correspond, we had to decide, which approaches our message better. As a result we have chosen “movement”, as in the interpretation of our dictionaries this word reflects its philosophical essence more. In philosophical treatment the movement is a general concept uniting characteristics of moving, made by objects, interactions between them, changes which take place between them, transformations of some objects into other ones. There are forms of movement in which objects change their positions, but do not change themselves, and such forms in which there are quantitative and qualitative changes in objects. Aristotle writes about six kinds of movement: appearance, destruction, increase, reduction, transformation, relocation. If at first the movement was examined for a long time only as movement of bodies, many years later ideas enlarged and in the foreground there appeared such versions of movement, as becoming, change and development. Proceeding from these basic concepts we have tried to analsze briefly the role of movement as some necessary element of realisation in architectural education.

source	Cyber-Real Design [Conference Proceedings / ISBN 83-905377-2-9] Bialystock (Poland), 23-25 April 1998, pp. 127-140
summary	The correct evaluation of design proposals both by experts and future users, demands their presentation with regard to the real environment and real conditions of observation. It is interesting when analysing designs in complicated town planning situations, and becomes especially important in CIVILIZED SOCIETIES, when it concerns historic territories. Analytical works, connected with preparation of the information, corresponding in the greatest degree to the real conditions and previous scientific investigations, are carried out in a number of European educational institutions (Technical universities in Delft, Tampere, Stuttgart, etc.), corresponding to the Laboratory of videosystems of the Moscow Architectural Institute (State Academy). Their results are periodically reported at conferences of the European Architectural Endoscopy Association, which in keeping with its name and status is occupied with problems of the most real reflection of the designed space. I suppose that due to the objective necessity at our future conference (the 4th conference of the EAEA) we shall discuss not tools, but methods and ways ensuring correct vision of the designed space. Because of this and the present state of the technique of presentation and also recollecting my words at the previous conferences, that technical means are only tools but not an ideology of the creative activities in designing, it is reasonable once more (or maybe not once) to return to the "accompanying" means, which sometimes, and in a historical environment, i want to underline again, in a CIVILIZED SOCIETY, can and must become decisive. And it is especially important for the simulation means to take into consideration spatial and temporal factors.

title	An experimental design framework for the personalization of indoor microclimates through feedback loops between responsive thermal systems and occupant biometrics
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 15 - no. 1, 54-69
summary	How can building technologies accommodate different and often conflicting user preferences without dissolving the social cohesiveness, intrinsic of every architectural intervention? Individual thermal comfort has often been considered a negligible sensorial experience by modern heating and cooling technologies, and is often influenced by large-group norms. Alternatively, we propose that buildings are repositories of indoor microclimates that can be realized to provide personalized comfort, to create healthier environments, and to enhance the attributes of architectural interventions into haptic dimensions. In response, the goal of this study is to characterize an experimental framework that integrates responsive thermal systems with occupants’ direct and indirect experience, which includes stress response and biometric data. A computational model was used up to inform and analyze thermal perception of subjects, and later tested in a responsive physical installation. While results show that thermal comfort assessment is affected by individual differences including cognitive functions and biometrics, further computational efforts are needed to validate biometric indicators. Finally, the implications of personalized built environments are discussed with respect to future technology developments and possibilities of design driven by biometric data.

title	BECOC : A Knowledge Bank and its Use in Construction and CAD Systems
source	The Computer Integrated Future, CIB W78 Seminar. September, 1991. Unnumbered : ill. include some bibliographical references
summary	The Development of the BECOC prototype (Structured Knowledge Bank for Construction Elements) was undertaken in order to test the integration of Data and Knowledge using the SITEC model (Construction Technology Information System). After the graphical definition of a building exterior, the assignment of the construction solutions is dynamically controlled using the Knowledge Bank for real time decision making. To represent the knowledge that acts on the data the knowledge bank consists of an Object Oriented Data Base and a Rule System, developed using the NEXPERT/OBJECT package. In this manner it is possible to establish relationships among properties, concepts, restrictions in values, structural relations and the control of standards compliance, which in this case has been limited to thermal, acoustic and weight requirements. The system helps the user to make decisions and it analyzes the context in order to make the deductions needed to maintain internal data consistency. The positive results of this work indicate the way for further developments, and demonstrate that expert systems and traditional technologies coupled together can be effective and give the desired answers in monitoring design in the everyday problems in construction technology

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2007.849
summary	We describe several projects in our ongoing research and teaching activities in the field of parametric design. The work is based on the premise that using parametric modelling and customized mass production for designing, planning and realisation, the creation of a spatially rich and varied architecture which is specific for individual programs, users and contexts is being made possible. We demonstrate this design approach by explaining three different design methodologies of various projects. The specifics and the experience of the use of various CAD software tools will be described: scriptable CAD programs like VectorWorks and CAD software with integrated parametric modelling like Unigraphics.

summary	We describe and discuss a design and research project that together with students explores the new possibilities current design tools and manufacturing processes give architects to design systems for building components that transcend the limits of fordist serial mass production in favour of post-fordist individualized mass production, most importantly the supersession of a few equal building components for many similar ones. Contrary to many projects with similar content and intent, ours starts not with the digital tools but with production techniques and materials. Constant physical materialization plays the main role, digital tools assist.

summary	We present a research program in which a plug-in tool for the generation of vertically stacked single family homes is developed and implemented in the software Autodesk Revit Architecture. The parametrized typology will provide for more variety, individuality and appropriateness in the homes themselves and also in the urban structures created by them. CAAM methods furthermore drastically reduce the production costs. The research is government-funded and sponsored by the building and software industry with the aim to both extend the functionality of an existing software package and to build a prototype urban development.

summary	In our faculty a new CAAD group has been started recently after a period of virtual non-existence of CAAD education. The responsibility of the group is twofold: to provide students with a basic competence in CAAD, and to develop a high standard of experimental studio work combined with research. In our philosophy, we aim to reach the first goal by giving a wide offer of basic skills teaching in many different CAAD softwares. Building on that, we offer more specialised classes for advanced modelling and integrate skills with design work in the design studio. Due to limited means, and a small staff, we develop this program step by step. Our preliminary scope therefore, is very modest, and mostly limited to the first years of CAAD education in the Bachelor studies. In this paper we summarise our goals and preliminary results. We monitor the progression of our educational program with an enquiry that was distributed among 200 students. In that way we can assess student response to our efforts. We report on the findings from the enquiry and formulate improvements and possible directions for our teaching.

summary	In order to understand the learning needs of our students, we have defined a series of five small experiments. In each experiment, a subject has to perform a limited task using a CAD system. The experiments are undertaken by subjects from three different groups: pre-university school goers, first year students of architecture, and advanced students of architecture. By comparing the differences between the groups we can identify the following aspects: (1) start level of students, (2) starting work strategies, (3) development of work strategies, and (4) deficiences in work strategies. On this basis, we can develop more specific teaching material that will be better suited to the needs of the students. In this paper we report on the experimental setup, research methodology, and preliminary results.

summary	In the 1940s, modern Rio de Janeiro architects developed passive systems to improve buildings performance, without resorting to air conditioning systems. This article continues a research that studies the performance of a set of eight buildings, from the Carioca School, investigating in a prospective sense, how to improve their performance through computational methods. The authors select a new case study from these buildings, the Bristol building, and analyse the building performance, regarding insolation and illuminance, using the software Ladybug and Honeybee. Based on the simulation data, they use combinatorial modelling to change the position of each of the shading type’s modules, of the Bristol west façade to improve performance. Results suggest that is possible to improve the building performance, and the modern buildings legacy, using computational methods to improve and reduce energy consumption, encouraging natural systems and diminishing the need for artificial air conditioning systems.

summary	The goal of the research described in this paper is to address climate change by promoting the production of renewable energy in building envelopes, which are exposed to solar radiation. It proposes an energy-based design paradigm, where energy processes shape the building form, and a digital design system for building envelopes that considers the trajectory of sunrays. The goal is to create envelopes that are efficient in harvesting solar energy, enabling them to produce the electricity that buildings consume. To operationalize the proposed digital design system, a building envelope grammar is developed and implemented in a software called LIDIA to be used by architects in design process to generate solutions with improved energy production performance. The efficiency of the resulting solutions, the effectiveness of LIDIA and, therefore, the validity of the proposed paradigm, is demonstrated with the design of envelope solutions for single family houses.
