title	Building Information Model Analysis Through Large Language Models and Knowledge Graphs
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2024.1.685

summary	The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) seems to mark a break between past and present in the methods of structuring knowledge, making it possible today to transfer this capability to machines even in a sector like AECO, always been information-intensive but resistant to technological transition. In terms of knowledge, the most established paradigm has been Building Information Modelling (BIM), with IFC functioning as the main schema for standardizing the industry's information. Added to this are knowledge graphs that, emerging with semantic web technologies, allow storing knowledge in structures consisting of nodes and edges with semantic meanings. Nevertheless, a barrier to the widespread adoption of BIM is its accessibility. Querying BIM models is often limited for stakeholders without digital skills, who may struggle to access the vast amount of information stored in these complex informative models. In an attempt to outline one of the possible uses of LLMs in BIM, this research proposes a method for querying BIM models through textual prompts aimed at analyzing a selected case study. In the workflow, a BIM model is first realized. Then, data is integrated into a knowledge graph. Next, ChatGPT's LLMs are used to activate query functions for the analysis of the graph. The results of the queries are displayed in a user-friendly graphical user interface. The study's outcomes offer insights for researchers and industry professionals, highlighting emerging research potentials for LLMs in the field.

title	Emerging senses from Smart Cities phenomenon
source	SIGraDi 2018 [Proceedings of the 22nd Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Brazil, São Carlos 7 - 9 November 2018, pp. 434-441
summary	The paper analyses the emerging senses from the Smart Cities phenomenon, using as background Lemos (2017), Maia (2013), Rozestraten (2016), Söderström, Paache & Klauser (2014) and evaluating the speeches found in the SmartCity Expo Curitiba. We identified three basic senses: the binary utopia/ficcion, business and informational city, discussed by philosophers such as Foucault (2017), Lévy (2011) e Harvey (2014). The results outline the importance of political role of technology and adverts that it must not be controlled by business. Finally, the paper concludes that the smartest technology is one that opens space to the inclusion of greater human expressivity and subjectivity, not inducing a space of control.

summary	Due to the current energy crisis in Brazil and in the world, it is important to explore renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic systems. Considering this, this research analyzes a responsive capture system called Girassol, which seeks better efficiency in energy production. Tests were performed on the mechanism to assess the advantages and disadvantages of using the solar tracker compared to fixed systems. The tests were carried out using the physical prototype and computational tools to compare the results. The methodology used was Design Science Research, which has to develop and improve affordable solutions, based on experiments and computational simulations. Compared to the physical prototype it was possible observe that there is a greater energy upgrade of the Girassol mainly in the initial and final moments of the daylight hours.

title	The Calabozo:Virtual Reconstruction of a Place Based on Testimonies
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 3 - no. 3, 281-298
summary	The objective the research reported here is to create a visualization of a place based on personal experiences. My research addresses this issue through a case study: the visualization of a women's political prison during the Uruguayan military dictatorship (1973–85). The proposed visualization is based on these women's personal experiences of the solitary confinement cell (calabozo). Compared with their male counterpart, women's memories about prison have been traditionally relegated to a second level in Uruguay. The visualization aims to communicate these women's experiences of the calabozo through a video installation. This article first reviews relevant precedents to the case study and to virtual reconstructions and later describes the video installation.

title	A Tangible Goal for 3D Modeling
source	IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications. pp. 62 - 65. Vol. 18, Issue: 3
summary	Although the speed of computers increases exponentially, the amount and quality of useful work that we perform on them seems to increase linearly at best. Faster processors are not enough-to significantly increase the utility of computers requires new computer interfaces. The keyboard was adequate for text-based applications, but the advent of the desktop metaphor and windows computing environment demanded a new mechanical interface-the mouse. As we progress into applications that incorporate interactive life-like 3D computer graphics, the mouse falls short as a user interface device, and it becomes obvious that 3D computer graphics could achieve much more with a more intuitive user interface mechanism. Haptic interfaces, or forcefeedback devices, promise to increase the quality of humancomputer interaction by accommodating our sense of touch. Of all the senses, only touch is bidirectional-allowing us to perceive and change objects simultaneously in the same location. Because the sense of touch is so compelling, researchers have studied it for some time.1,2 (Refer to the annual proceedings of the Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems, published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, New York.) Various commercial devices are now available that can accommodate1 even seven degrees of freedom. I used the three degrees-of-freedom Phantom haptic interface for most of the interactions described in this article. Users interact with the Phantom interface with their finger in a thimble or by holding a stylus

summary	In a terms of studying and practical design a sufficient experience of analytic work of our lab shows, that the view of suggesting scheme on the same kind of process development is accompanied by sadden mistakes or conscious inaccuracies.Traditional conventions of architectural models same times with no paying attention to scale and size may drive to cause of distortion from the points of view to them. Power and possibilities of modern CAD initiates same sort of temptations and errors. For our point of view, solving the above problems is having same restrictions, one of which, may be – providing a visual coincidence of the videoframes of building site and it’s model done whether by small scale modelling or CAD. According to our practice a different methods of superimposing of real and designing spaces are shown in this article.

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	About Videocomputer Technologies at the Moscow Architectural Institute
source	CAD Space [Proceedings of the III International Conference Computer in Architectural Design] Bialystock 27-29 April 1995, pp. 303-308
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.

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	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.
