title	A methodology for the evaluation, analysis, and selection of bioinspired textures, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel for aerodynamic improvements in sports design
source	SIGraDi 2020 [Proceedings of the 24th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Online Conference 18 - 20 November 2020, pp. 441-448
summary	Sports disciplines have evolved in recent decades to improve the performance of athletes, as a result of interdisciplinary convergence. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel have gained relevance in sports design to predict the aerodynamic behavior. On the other hand, Bio-informed disciplines study nature to solve human problems, in order to generate innovation with or without sustainable results. This text presents a first proposal of a methodology oriented to the evaluation, analysis, and selection of bioinspired digital textures, in order to improve the aerodynamic performance in sports product design, through the integration of CFD and wind tunnel testing.

summary	This interdisciplinary work, which integrates teaching, research and extension, incorporated students from 5 Latin American universities of Architecture and different Design Degrees. The experience that was developed in the first semester of 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic, deals with the contribution that design and digital media can make to the social problems of local communities. Through the collaborative design of artifacts, interfaces, spaces and representations that articulate the natural, the artificial and the digital, the objective was to value and make visible the natural and cultural heritage of "La Boca", a coastal neighborhood of the city of Santa Fe, located in the flood valley of the Paraná River. Innovative ideas were provided to drive sustainable development processes through proposals that rescue the knowledge and resources of the place using digital mediations. The article analyzes the conceptual bases, methodology and results of this difficult but original experience.

summary	This work was conceived from the common interests and objectives of two universities in the Argentine Littoral region, who have been addressing problems of the communities of the insular micro-region for several years. The methodology included physical and virtual meetings in the activities of both chairs to create a Transmedia Bestiary of imaginary animals of the Litoral, defining the guidelines to work on the technical characteristics, both physical and digital, that would be applied to the final production. The results were diverse. Each group of students generated its own Transmedia Narrative including proposals with Artificial Intelligence, illustrations, websites, video games, augmented reality, etc. In the analog medium, they generated 2D and 3D prints and built prototypes with different techniques, which made it possible to apply autonomous movement to the designed animals. Different evaluation methods focused on learning were used and reflections on the value of inter and transdisciplinary experiences were elaborated.

title	An AI-based shell for linking thermal and form-making considerations
source	Automation in Construction 8 (4) (1999) pp. 455-462
summary	Over the past few years, our team has developed several computer-based models in the areas of architectural form-making and thermal analysis. These programs were designed to deal with specific problems and use a range of techniques including machine vision, knowledge-based systems, and artificial intelligence techniques. Recently, a project that integrates these systems was initiated. Its objective is to design an intelligent computer shell that forms the basis for this integration in the domain of architecture. The paper discusses the development of the shell and its use to analyze and study architectural form and its determinants. The shell accommodates modules that link the morphological structure of architectural design with more of its determinants (e.g., structural, acoustical, and lighting considerations, as well as code requirements). The paper presents and discusses the background of the shell, its structure, its methods of knowledge representation, and an example of its use.

source	CAAD Futures ‘93 [Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-444-89922-7] (Pittsburgh / USA), 1993, pp. 225-239
summary	This paper describes work in progress. It summarizes the methodology for analyzing building codes and isolating generic building characteristics. These characteristics can be used by building code experts to markup code documents and subsequently by building code users to extract code provisions that apply to their projects. Although this methodology has been developed for the National Building Code of Canada, it can be applied to any model code and implemented on most computer platforms using off-the-shelf software. The paper outlines the scope of the research, the historical development, the problems encountered, and paradigms for markup and extraction of code provisions.

title	Computational Thinking and the Architectural Curriculum - Simple to Complex or Complex to Simple?
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2016.1.253
source	Herneoja, Aulikki; Toni Österlund and Piia Markkanen (eds.), Complexity & Simplicity - Proceedings of the 34th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland, 22-26 August 2016, pp. 253-259
summary	Recent trends in architectural education and practice have encouraged the use of computational tools and methods for solving complex design problems. Newer technology can augment the design process by applying progressively more-advanced computational tools. However, the complex nature of these tools can lead to students getting lost at the skill-building stage, they can become trapped in computational design terminology, leading to designs of limited spatial quality. This paper introduces a pilot study from Izmir University of Economics (IUE) for the integration of computational design technology in the undergraduate architectural curricula, based on a workshop series using a top-down teaching strategy.

title	Option One-second Iteration - Analysis, evaluation and redesign of a rural housing prototype
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.1.187
source	Sousa, JP, Xavier, JP and Castro Henriques, G (eds.), Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution - Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference - Volume 1, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2019, pp. 187-194
summary	In 2005, the rural housing deficit in Colombia was 1,600,000 units, which is equivalent to 68.25% of the total households. This very high number shows the difficulties faced by public policies on rural housing. This deficit is partly due to logistical problems related to the supply of materials and complexity in construction processes. It is necessary to explore new alternatives to offer more and better homes at lower costs. The research project presented in this manuscript started in 2013 as an initiative to reduce the housing deficit. It proposed to build a rural housing prototype integrating digital manufacturing processes. The performance of part of the structural and enclosing system was evaluated during a first iteration process to include changes in a second iteration later. With the adjustments to the design process discussed here, the prototype is expected to be built and tested to measure its efficiency and functioning.

summary	Quality observatory of new housing was created by a collaborative effort between the University of the Andes and Prodesa (building company). From 2005 to 2014 about 800 new housing projects have been evaluated whose results evidenced quality problems. In 2013, a new housing project, which integrated quality criteria from the quality observatory, was commissioned to Universidad de los Andes by Prodesa. Parametric modeling was proposed and applied as a useful tool in the variables integration and the decision making process, to integrate and guarantee quality.

summary	This paper briefly recounts how computational design has surfaced in the architectural discourse during the recent decades, developing into what is now called parametric design. In this context, the authors argue against Parametricism, an avante garde movement which is limited to the issues of style and aesthetic fitness, whilst an approach that uses parametric modelling, simulation and visualization in an iterative way to generate design solutions for complexities of contemporary design problems is favoured. Following a discussion supported by representative examples from current practice, a possible organizational structure more appropriate to take advantage of digital tools to increase design performance is suggested.

title	What offers Virtual Reality to the Designer?
source	Proceedings of Conference on Integrated Design & Process Technology, Berlin, Germany
summary	Virtual Reality being a relatively new technology receives much attention in scientific research as well as in public news media. In the first case because of the technical problems that still have to be solved to offer the functionality and performance required by the application developers. In the second case because of the appealing interface between the application user and the computer system. Design in general and especially architectural design has a long-standing tradition in solving design problems by mixing artistic and scientific approaches. Research has resulted in design theories and methodologies in order to better understand the design process and from that to improve the quality of the designed product. Before applying Virtual Reality as an enabling technology for design, the characteristics of the technology and of the application must be specified. This is not an easy job since VR is not yet very 'stable' and design is a very complex process. From the knowledge and experience in the Calibre research group a first draft of a specification is presented so that we can draw some conclusions on the applicability of VR for design.

title	Digital and Manual Joints
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2008.370
source	Silicon + Skin: Biological Processes and Computation, [Proceedings of the 28th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) / ISBN 978-0-9789463-4-0] Minneapolis 16-19 October 2008, 370-375
summary	This paper considers the problem of detailing joints between manual and digital construction by tracking the provocations of KieranTimberlake’s SmartWrap research and the evolution of that knowledge into practical architectural instruments that can be deployed into more traditional construction projects. Over the past several years, KieranTimberlake Associates in Philadelphia has undertaken a path of research focusing on problems of contemporary construction systems and practices. One product of this research was a speculative wall system assembled for a museum exhibit. SmartWrap was to be a digitally prefabricated wall system with embedded technology. ¶ While they have yet to wrap a building with SmartWrap, KieranTimberlake have utilized a number of the construction principles and digital tools tested in the SmartWrap exhibit. One of the most important principles, prefabrication, was explored in a fast-track construction project at the Sidwell Friends School. The compressed schedule drove the design of an enclosure system which incorporated performative elements in similar categories to SmartWrap: insulation, an electrical system, view, daylighting, and a rainscreen. Besides being a prefabricated façade system, the rainscreen detailing became a formal system for organizing many other scales of the project including: site systems, thermal systems, daylighting systems, enclosure, and ornament. At a second project, a similar wood rainscreen strategy was used. However, at the Loblolly House the question of prefabrication and digital modeling was tested far more extensively: thermal systems were embedded into prefabricated floor cartridges, entire program elements – a library, kitchen, and bathroom were proposed as prefabricated systems of self-contained volume and infrastructure which were then inserted into the on-site framework. ; In all three projects the joint between manual-imprecise construction and digital-precise prefabrication became the area of richest invention (Figure 1). SmartWrap may not have yielded flexible, plastic architecture; but its conceptual and practical questions have yielded tangible implications for the design/construction processes and the built product in KieranTimberlake’s practice.

title	THE EMERGING DIGITAL STYLE: Attention shift in architectural style recognition
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2006.x.g4f
source	CAADRIA 2006 [Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia] Kumamoto (Japan) March 30th - April 2nd 2006, 633-635
summary	“Style” has long been an important index to observe the design thinking of designers in architecture. Gombrich (1968) defined style as a particular selection from the alternatives when doing things; Ackerman (1963) considered that a distiguishable ensemble of certain characteristics we call a style; Schapiro (1961) pointed out that style is constant forms, and sometimes the constant elements, qualities and expression; Kirsch (1998), Cha and Gero (1999) thought of style as a form element and shape pattern. As Simon and others referred to, style emerged from the process of problem solving, Chan (1994, 2001) ever devised a serious of experiments to set up the operational definitions of style, further five factors that relate to generating styles. Owing to that the greater part of sketches and drawings in the design process couldn’t be replaced by computer-aided design systems (Eisentraut, 1997), designers must shift between different problem-solving methods while facing different design problems. The purpose in this research is to discuss the influences of computer usage on style generation and style recognition: The employment of certain procedural factors that occurred in the design processes that using conventional media is different from the ones that using computer media? Do personal styles emerge while designers shifting between different media in the design processes? Does any unusual phenomenon emerge while accustomed CAD-systems designers recognizing a style?

title	Optimization-aided design: two approaches for reflective exploration of design search space
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2022, Vol. 20 - no. 4, pp. 758–776
summary	The role of using performance-based design optimization in early-stage architectural design to prevent poorly designed buildings has been increasingly recognized by researchers and designers. Recently, a large amount of research has been made focusing on technical advancement, which, however, also reflects the limited research on how this technique can be applied to the design process and how it can aid designers when confronting ill-defined design problems. In this regard, this paper centers on the design approaches assisted by using performance-based design optimization. The paper proposes two optimization-aided design approaches that were identified in the previous applications of a design tool, called EvoMass, and showcases these approaches in case-study designs. The case studies demonstrate how the use of performance-based design optimization can facilitate designers’ reflection and exploration. With the demonstration of the design approaches, we discuss the utility of performance-based design optimization in assisting architects in the early design stages

summary	This research applies Object Oriented Database (OODB) to relate and link building drawings and texts for the purpose of creating a PDA-based systemetic integration of construction-related design data. This system tries to solve the problems of data segmentation, inexpedient interrogation, and consistency in working drawing information management. Recently development of PDA has accelerated and functionally diversified. Under the speed of development, supervisions of construction projects can be conducted by PDA as a kind of tool as a primary information supplier or manager.

summary	Performance-based design is encouraging designers to carry out quantitative-oriented research, sometimes indifferent to qualitative matters that concern social, cultural, and even psychological aspects. Design requirements related to humans subjective value and decision-making ought to be properly addressed. This paper begins with the discussion of architectural complexity about its ill-defined design problems. Humans linguistic variables contain the ambiguous yet uncertain value that seemingly unfit for todays precise digital design approaches. Hence, this paper involves the idea of fuzzy logic and its inference system, presents a soft computing method using membership functions to describe qualitative parameters. It then uses MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox, as an auxiliary design tool apart from Rhinoceros Grasshopper, to grade design options of a bending-active gridshell from an undergraduate design studio.

summary	One of the problems facing students of architecture and those teaching of architecture is that the body of information which needs to be bourne in mind when designing is continually increasing. One area where there has been a rapid recent growth in interest and consequent legislation is in environmental or "green" matters. As an example recent legislation has been introduced in an effort to standardise the procedures for assessing building, and in particular their energy consumption. This paper reports on the development of a Hypermedia based tool to aid the process of the Environmental design of buildings with the objective of producing a computer-based aid which encourages understanding and innovation rather than leading the. user through a mechanical process of form filling. We conclude with comments on the effectiveness of the tool as a design aid and propose future developments for the work on computer-based Environmental Assessment.
