title	Bio-digital Sand Logics: Dune Sand Material and Computational Design
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-19-8637-6_35
source	Proceedings of the 2022 DigitalFUTURES The 4st International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2022)
summary	This paper discusses the creation of a new sand-based material, performative testing, and the computational logic involved in the design of a prototypical architectural system. Dune sand is known to be an unstable material compared to river or marine sand and as a result it is not normally used for construction. Because of this, desert regions have grown a reliance upon imported materials creating massive sustainability issues due to large scale global shipping, importation and resource extraction. This research indicates there is a viable opportunity to leverage dune sand as an ongoing line of inquiry for material science and design in local desert regions. It establishes that there is very little architectural research being done in this particular area. The methodology begins with experiments in bio-material using dune sand as a compound, and then establishes a construction system based upon a manifold of experiments. Along with material investigations, the process uses a Scientific Testing Method (STM) and Hypothesis in Action (HIA) as part of the testing methodology.

title	Daylight Simulation: Validation, Sky Models and Daylight Coefficients
source	De Montfort University, Leicester, UK
summary	The application of lighting simulation techniques for daylight illuminance modelling in architectural spaces is described in this thesis. The prediction tool used for all the work described here is the Radiance lighting simulation system. An overview of the features and capabilities of the Radiance system is presented. Daylight simulation using the Radiance system is described in some detail. The relation between physical quantities and the lighting simulation parameters is made clear in a series of progressively more complex examples. Effective use of the inter-reflection calculation is described. The illuminance calculation is validated under real sky conditions for a full-size office space. The simulation model used sky luminance patterns that were based directly on measurements. Internal illuminance predictions are compared with measurements for 754 skies that cover a wide range of naturally occurring conditions. The processing of the sky luminance measurements for the lighting simulation is described. The accuracy of the illuminance predictions is shown to be, in the main, comparable with the accuracy of the model input data. There were a number of predictions with low accuracy. Evidence is presented to show that these result from imprecision in the model specification - such as, uncertainty of the circumsolar luminance - rather than the prediction algorithms themselves. Procedures to visualise and reduce illuminance and lighting-related data are presented. The ability of sky models to reproduce measured sky luminance patterns for the purpose of predicting internal illuminance is investigated. Four sky models and two sky models blends are assessed. Predictions of internal illuminance using sky models/blends are compared against those using measured sky luminance patterns. The sky model blends and the Perez All-weather model are shown to perform comparably well. Illuminance predictions using measured skies however were invariably better than those using sky models/blends. Several formulations of the daylight coefficient approach for predicting time varying illuminances are presented. Radiance is used to predict the daylight coefficients from which internal illuminances are derived. The form and magnitude of the daylight coefficients are related to the scene geometry and the discretisation scheme. Internal illuminances are derived for four daylight coefficient formulations based on the measured luminance patterns for the 754 skies. For the best of the formulations, the accuracy of the daylight coefficient derived illuminances is shown to be comparable to that using the standard Radiance calculation method. The use of the daylight coefficient approach to both accurately and efficiently predict hourly internal daylight illuminance levels for an entire year is described. Daylight coefficients are invariant to building orientation for a fixed building configuration. This property of daylight coefficients is exploited to yield hourly internal illuminances for a full year as a function of building orientation. Visual data analysis techniques are used to display and process the massive number of derived illuminances.

title	Development of a Decision Support Tool for Bamboo Building Design
source	Timmermans, Harry (Ed.), Sixth Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning - Part one: Architecture Proceedings Avegoor, the Netherlands), 2002
summary	The design process of a bamboo building is sometimes very complex for building designers, since there is no accepted design methodology for it. This process may be caused by a lack of relevant information provided to the designer. Based on this issue, this paper proposes a decision support system for application in bamboo building design that might be helpful for the designer in his/her design process. For this purpose, a decision support tool for bamboo building design process is being developed. Thedevelopment of the tool uses approaches, i.e. a taxonomy of bamboo building to identify the design problems, IDEFÆ to model the decision support tool, and develops a dedicated tool for Bamboo building design process. This tool has been tested in an international bamboo-housing workshop, hence results, suggestions, and recommendations from the workshop will be analysed. With this tool, the bamboo-building designer can make a bamboo building design in a systematic way. This tool also helpsthe designer to be as best informed, explicit, correct, and complete as possible during the design process.

title	Development of a decision support system for bamboo building design
source	Timmermans, Harry (Ed.), Fifth Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning - Part one: Architecture Proceedings (Nijkerk, the Netherlands)
summary	Bamboo, the fastest growing woody plant, is used as a common building material in bamboo-growing countries and recently also in non-bamboo-growing countries. In spite of this fact, building designers or users of a building have problems using bamboo as a building material since they lack information and guidance in how to use bamboo. This paper proposes a decision support system (DSS) that might be useful for designers when they design a bamboo building. It presents an early-stage design process of bamboo building and the development of a DSS. The architecture of this system is based on the theory of DSS and knowledge of bamboo that should be integrated in the design process of bamboo building. So there are three components: a DSS, design process, and knowledge of bamboo. The process starts with determination of the building system, database construction of bamboo building parts, and the rule for using bamboo in each building part. The process focuses on systematisation of each design stage and integration of the building parts to construct a monolith bamboo building. The purpose of systematisation is to offer designers a means of categorising problem solving during the design process in terms of, for example, assumption, criteria, alternatives, and acceptable solutions.

title	The Customized Habitat: An Exploration of Personality-Induced Mass Customization through Shape Grammars
source	Abdelmohsen, S, El-Khouly, T, Mallasi, Z and Bennadji, A (eds.), Architecture in the Age of Disruptive Technologies: Transformations and Challenges [9th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings ISBN 978-1-907349-20-1] Cairo (Egypt) [Virtual Conference] 2-4 March 2021, pp. 450-464
summary	Despite its economic efficiency, mass production fails to appeal to the very people it is meant to accommodate. Mass customization, on the other hand, allows for the consideration of personal differences. Nonetheless, it is a process that requires more time, effort, and resources, hence the reliance upon mass production. Previous research showed a potential impact of personality on perceptions of the architectural space. The research investigates the applicability of mass customization in the architectural domain using MBTI (Myers–Briggs Type Indicator). Using MBTI, we surveyed 187 individuals to investigate the correlations between personal traits (mind, energy, nature, tactics, and identity) and preferences of architectural aspects (exposure, circulation, view, plan layout, and interior colors). The survey draws on how multiple fields have successfully applied MBTI to increase the value they provide. The findings present a novel contribution to architectural research as they demonstrate an actual connection between MBTI personality patterns and architectural preferences. In addition to several interaction patterns, our results strongly support an effect of the mind aspect on view preferences as well as an effect of energy on three architectural aspects: view, plan layout and interior colors. Shape grammars were then created, based upon these correlations, in order to provide a basis for optimized mass customization. The optimization/automation of this process will result in a more habitable space in which neither personality differences nor valuable resources are sacrificed.

title	Low-cost Portable Wireless Electroencephalography to Detect Emotional Responses to Visual Cues: Validation and Potential Applications
source	Hybrid Spaces of the Metaverse - Architecture in the Age of the Metaverse: Opportunities and Potentials [10th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings] Debbieh (Lebanon) [Virtual Conference] 12-13 October 2022, pp. 139-154
summary	This paper validates the using a low-cost EEG headset – Emotiv Insight 2.0 – for detecting emotional responses to visual stimuli. The researchers detected, based on brainwave activity, the viewer’s emotional states in reference to a series of visuals and mapped them on valance and arousal axes. Valence in this research is defined as the viewer’s positive or negative state, and arousal is defined as the intensity of the emotion or how calm or excited the viewer is. A set of thirty images – divided into two categories: Objects and Scenes – was collected from the Open Affective Standard Image Set (OASIS) and used as a reference for validation. We collected a total of 720 data points for six different emotional states: Engagement, Excitement, Focus, Interest, Relaxation, and Stress. To validate the emotional state score generated by the EEG headset, we created a regression model using those six parameters to estimate the valence and arousal level, and compare them to values reported by OASIS. The results show the significance of the Engagement parameter in predicting the valence level in the Objects category and the significance of the Excitement parameter in the Scenes category. With the emergence of personal EEG headsets, understanding the emotional reaction in different contexts will help in various fields such as urban design, digital art, and neuromarketing. In architecture, the findings can enable designers to generate more dynamic and responsive design solutions informed by users’ emotions.

title	Agents' movement_towards the reformation of public space - Step 1: select \| implement \| observe crowd rules
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2014.1.053
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. 53-62
summary	In order to enable designers to envision the behaviour of pedestrians with reference to specific environments, computational models of crowds and their movement become indispensable tools of evaluation as well as tools of creativity. In this paper, the model under development constitutes a generic model which incorporates ideas about agent-based systems. The simulation program comprises a support system for the designer to place virtual users in a context that bears analogous environmental traits of the area under study. The design problem which is addressed by the implementation deals with public squares for which the programmatic demands involve a broad spectrum of users of diverse idiosyncrasies. Our study attempts to elucidate how the variation in preferences of pedestrian movement which depend on various personal, situational and environmental factors, may influence the current use of a selected public space and underpin qualitative alterations compared to its initial design. The intent of the methodology is not to create a predictive tool of naturalistic human movement but to explore how spatial configuration can be assessed and developed through a simulation model of pedestrian behaviour.

summary	This research aims to develop a prototype of a generation model based on the performance of multiple criteria that can autonomously create single-family projects of social interest. The use of this model aims to help choose the best results, balance performance indices, and identify the most appropriate solution to a design problem. This research is driven by the introduction of new computational techniques to the design process and the need for more theoretical research to better understand these new practices. The proposed model was executed in visual programming software in three stages of creation and testing, each with a specific objective. The model makes it possible to generate and analyze housing of social interest through multiple criteria and to produce discussions about the use of the tool. Demonstrating that its use allows helping explain the design decisions by bringing models and data previously not considered or visualized.

summary	Advances in computational tools have provided new ways to think, design, and produce architecture. This allows for the development and expansion of the architectural project's potential, as well as narrowing the connections of a proposal related to sensitive interpretations of the place. Thus, this article investigates the connection between the use of these tools that help formulate ideas, methods, and languages in the design process and visually presents the relationship between computational tools and the phenomena of the place. This analysis was based on bibliographic reviews that looked at computational tools that might be related to the place phenomenon. Consequently, a visual matrix that can assess the integration and positive correlation between digital technologies and phenomenological theories was devised, in addition to constructing an optimistic counterpoint, demonstrating that the architect can approach the environment or phenomenon through computational tools.

summary	The objective of this research is to create a prototype of a low-cost remote sensing system for capturing data in slope areas at risk of landslides or movement to monitor and prevent disasters caused by landslides and enable remote monitoring in informal settlements. Therefore, the collected data can be used as a management tool by the government and citizens, also through a prototype of a digital twin. For the development, the following steps were considered: (1) data collection on the digital twins, software, and hardware needed to build the device; (2) sensor development through open-source electronic platforms; and (3) conducting tests to identify sensor improvements and programs. Through the sensor prototype, it became possible to collect landslide data on-site, thus revealing a direct alignment between real-world observations and the data collected by the sensor.

title	Autonomous parametric process for daylight simulation applied to the proposal of a daylighting of buildings performance tool
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. 534-540
summary	The openings features definition, considering the obstructions influence caused by the urban environment, are extremely relevant for the daylit buildings design. The complexity of the daylight phenomenon and the need to estimate its performance spread the use of parametric simulation and simulation programs. Thus, this article aims to create a parametric process, derived from a digital process, capable of simulating and registering the performance of daytime construction in different urban scenarios in an automated way. This process made it possible to generate a series of data capable of producing tools for understanding the phenomenon of natural daylight.

summary	This article deals with the use of the characteristics of fractal linear geometry and the different knowledge related to the application of its patterns in architectural elements, considering their compositional potentialities. For this, a theoretical and practical trajectory was developed, such as understanding the characteristics of fractal geometry and the existing software and methods for its reproduction. As a result, a parametric process was developed that allows to recreate fractal patterns in architectural elements, making it possible to identify the necessary steps for their elaboration, identifying the potentialities of their use and the skills necessary to reproduce similar parametric processes.

summary	This experiment demonstrated how the use of a process aided with computational tools, similar to the multi-criteria performative model, contributes to the learning of architecture and urbanism students in the development of designing urban and landscape projects. The study seeks to bring students closer to multi-criteria analysis in project training activities. The method used is guided by a case study that allows simulated data referring to radiation, visual permeability, and percentage of visible sky. The results were collected through the analyzes and comparisons found in the final project of the discipline, verified through the observation of the design decisions based on the simulations. This allowed us to identify the potentialities of the process in the understanding of the students in using different criteria in the initial launch of the architectural project and also to recognize the points and negatives of the use of the process.

summary	The Paresite - The Environmental Summer Pavilion designed for reSITE festival, is a möbius shaped structure, built from torsed pine wood planks in triangular grid with half cm thin pine wood triangular sheets that provide shadow and evaporate moisture in dry weather. The sheets, cut in a tangential section, interact with humidity by warping themselves, allowing air circulation for the evaporation in arid conditions. The design was accomplished in Grasshopper for Rhino in combination with Rhino and afterwards digitally fabricated. This interdisciplinary project involved students from the Architectural Institute in Prague (ARCHIP) and the students of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (FLD CZU). The goal was to design and build a pavilion from a solid pine wood in order to analyse its material properties and reactions to the environment and to accommodate functions for reSITE festival. The design was prepared within half term studio course and completed in June 2013 on Karlovo Square in Prague where it hosted1600 visitors during festival weekend.

summary	The wood - humidity interaction of solid wood has been tested through generations on Norwegian traditional panelling. This concept has been further explored by Michael Hensel and Steffen Reichert with Achim Menges on plywood and laminates in basic research. Plywood or laminates are better programmable but they are less sustainable due to the use of glue. This research focused on predicting the performance of solid wood in tangential section which is applied to humidity-temperature responsive screen for industrial production. With the method Systems Oriented Design, the research evaluated data from material science, forestry, meteorology, biology, chemistry and the production market. Themethod was introduced by Birger Sevaldson in 2007 with the argument that the changes in our globalized world and the need for sustainability demands an increase of the complexity of the design process. (Sevaldson 2013)Several samples has been tested for its environmental interaction. The data has been integrated in parametric models that tested the overall systems. Based on the simulations, the most suitable concept has been prototyped and measured for its performance. This lead to another sampling of the material whose data are the basis for another prototype. Ray 2 is an environmental responsive screen that is airing the structure in dry weather, while closing up when the humidity level is high, not allowing the moisture inside.

summary	Our paper presents research on the development of technologies and methodologies to support preliminary design phases through data based modelling. A digital parametric model informs costs evaluations and supports iterative and visual space exploration solutions. Thanks to associative modelling, the architectural conception is renewed and digital tools support design decision-making in a creative way. We propose to make project cost a design parameter through an interactive handling of a 3D geometric model that is relevant to strategic architectural intentions. In our experimentation, cost calculation spreadsheets are linked to a parametric models. An initial substructure of the building cost is defined based on the architectural concepts. The parametric tool directly informs the evaluation spreadsheet and a real time cost analysis is afforded to the designer. The tool supports the design process by displaying immediate feed back to the designer who can consider and control the financial implications of his hypothesis.

summary	To generate models of branched and reticular urban layouts, under three different forms of growth (linear, radial, strips), a program designed on AutoLISP Æ for the AutoCAD Æ V-2000 has been proposed. The generated models are both graphical as well as mathematical, and for each case are produced, considering the two variables assumed as inputs: the number of houses and the number of grouping units. The mathematical data is automatically saved in a MSExcel Æ spreadsheet created through a direct connection established from the AutoCAD Æ V-2000.

title	HYGROSCOPIC CLIMATIC MODULATED BOUNDARIES: A Strategy for Differentiated Performance Using a Natural Circulative and Energy Captive Building Envelope in Hot and Moisture Rich Laden Air Environments
source	Perkins+Will Research Journal, Vol 02.01, 41-53
summary	The operation and construction of buildings account for almost half of the energy use in the United States. To meet global climate change targets, energy consumption of buildings in the long term must be reduced as well as carbon dioxide emissions. This article explores a theoretical building envelope that generates energy and produces water by drawing water vapor out of the air to deliver new sources of water; it lowers indoor humidity in hot and humid climates. The design in this model considers materiality, surface area and environmental conditions to influence build- ing form. The case in this article considers materials and systems application in the design of the building envelope. The hygroscopic building envelope design strategically senses varying conditions of concentration and density of moisture laden air to provide visual indications of its performance. It is a building skin that emulates biological processes by creating pressure differences and transferring energy in various forms.

summary	Real estate development may benefit from a decision-support software system that is implemented with Building Information Modelling to perform Quadruple Net Value Analysis. Schemes may be created rapidly using BIM and parametric modeling. They may be assessed for economic, social, and environmental factors using spreadsheets and simulation software. They may be assessed for sensory value by using an immersive visualization system. The idea has been tested as a proof of concept in undergraduate and graduate design studios. It appears to be easy to use for students and effective in directing attention to the four factors and obtaining objective measurements.
