summary	The publicly and privately funded national R&D program ‘Digital Construction’ was initiated in 2003 in order to establish a common platform for interchanging digital information and to stimulate digital integration in the Danish building industry. This paper explores the relation between visions, strategies and tools formulated in the ‘Digital Construction’ program, and the first experiences made from implementing the 3D work method part of the program in an ongoing building project. The discussions in the paper are placed in the complex field between choosing strategies for integrating information and communication technologies on national level, and the effects of these strategies on real life building projects.

title	How Space Experimentation Can Inform Design: Immersive Virtual Reality as a Design Tool
source	SIGraDi 2013 [Proceedings of the 17th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-7051-86-1] Chile - Valparaíso 20 - 22 November 2013, pp. 182 - 186
summary	Immersive virtual reality allows us to experience the space even before it’s constructed. In this way, the use of such an environment plays a decisive role in the design process in architecture. The spaces that architects design may now be evaluated in a real scale mode which enable the understanding of problems and/or opportunities that space bring to the buildings. The goal of this paper is to define the methodological framework for using an immersive virtual environment, namely CaveH, in an Architectural design process by exploring the use of real-time rendering. We intend that the developed software and infrastructure will be used in a very easy way as a valid design tool to any professional. Two 3d models were experiment along this research each one of them regarding to a different type of design problem.

title	Integrating building energy simulation in the design process
source	IBPSA News, Vol. 13, No. 1, pp. 21-26.
summary	To significantly increase building energy performance, the use of building simulation software at the earliest has been emphasized. Inherent complexity in data representation, I/O (Input and Output) and Visualization of available software requires specialist knowledge to leverage the potentials offered. Early stages of design are characterized by unstructured and incomplete data which is insufficient as inputs to software based on detailed representations of the systems in the building. Existing simulation software, developed in research organizations are targeted to be used by building services engineers at detailed stages and does not suit the purposes of design community. This article attempts at identifying the reasons behind unpopularity of simulation software in the early stages of design and also argues that a new breed of decision support systems is needed for energy efficient building design.

title	Brazilian Design: Parametric modeling as memory of vernacular artifacts
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. 199-204
summary	With the consolidation of digital media, we have seen the expansion of documentation and design modes. Two-dimensional representation was the main mean of communication in projects, however, in a process whose design of the form presents complexity, are no longer considered as adequate solutions. The parametric documentation of the vernacular knowledge of Icapuí boat production carries with it part of the immateriality of the step-by-step of a traditional process, resulting in the description of the complexity of the boat shapes. This article tries to affirm the power of the digital processes for the maintenance of the memory.

title	Augmenting Landmarks: Extending "Places" in the Hybrid City
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. 731-742
summary	Several recent technological advancements are substantially altering how we interact with urban spaces. The existing physical space as we know it now encompasses a plethora of emerging realities into which we shift in and out, resulting in what is called Hybrid Spaces. Augmented Reality (AR) today gives way to forms of hybrid realities that are accessible through our handheld devices, and which allow us to engage with our physical reality in a new way. These devices allow us to access and view digital information that is saturating our urban spaces, and yet appear invisible to the naked eye. When this information is localized, it can be used to augment physical space with virtual overlays. These augmentations may become physically linked to the environment, establishing virtual landmarks that could only be accessed via these handheld or wearable digital portals through digital applications. This gives way to new forms of engaging in real-time with our socio-cultural daily activities. The literature shows that urban space is reimagined through augmented reality (AR) which plays a significant role in introducing new augmented “places” supporting our physical ones as hybrid realities. This paper, accordingly, investigates the notion of location-based AR experiences on landmarks in the urban space in accordance with our spatial memory, and how augmented reality through mobile devices, plays an important role as a gateway between our physical space and the virtual one. It also seeks to understand how these augmentations might insert and employ symbolic or personal meanings to the space, based on our different interpretations. In doing so, we conducted an integrative analytical review of the most recent literature, to study the forms of augmentations in multiple cities, and how they are used as agents in our spatial experience. The paper then introduced a framework that could be used to assess users’ satisfaction and the design considerations of the AR spatial experience. Finally, the paper adopts a few recent AR practices to be assessed by the proposed framework.

title	Empirical Evaluation of Three Wind Analysis Tools for Concept Design of an Urban Wind Shelter
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2015.313
source	Emerging Experience in Past, Present and Future of Digital Architecture, Proceedings of the 20th International Conference of the Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA 2015) / Daegu 20-22 May 2015, pp. 313-322
summary	The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the performance of three wind analysis programs used in the early design stage (EDS) of a passive windbreak shelter concept for an urban context. This study compared the different workflows of these programs and the respective visualized results, identifying the differences and limitations of these tools, for design exploration. The programs tested were Autodesk Vasari, ODS-Studio, and ANSYS CFX. The results of this investigation indicate that basic computational fluid dynamics (CFD) programs such as Vasari was found to be more suitable for the observation of large-scale wind phenomena through the whole area of the shelter. Moreover, intermediate CFD tools (functions, usability) such as ODS-Studio can be used more efficiently in detailed visualization of wind interacting with design features. Finally, a more sophisticated CFD program like ANSYS CFX can be incorporated in the early design stage workflow for final verification of results.

summary	The aims of the Flexing Wind project, investigated in an intensive cross-disciplinary course, were twofold. First was to learn about aerodynamic phenomena around buildings. Second was to explore ways to observe, measure, and control the negative effects of wind around specific pedestrian areas, tram stops, and public sites in Melbourne City. Using tools such as a weather station to collect data and CFD software to simulate aerodynamic phenomena students could study the wind conditions in one of the windiest areas in the Melbourne downtown. Various do-it-yourself tools such as mini wind tunnels, handheld probes and sensors were used to evaluate the performance of potential design options, which lead to prototyping full scale adaptive architectural windbreaks.

title	Smart Structures - A Generative Design Framework for Aesthetic Guidance in Structural Node Design - Application of Typogenetic Design for Custom-Optimisation of Structural Nodes
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.1.623
source	Werner, L and Koering, D (eds.), Anthropologic: Architecture and Fabrication in the cognitive age - Proceedings of the 38th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, TU Berlin, Berlin, Germany, 16-18 September 2020, pp. 623-632
summary	Virtual prototypes enable performance simulation for building components. The presented research extended the application of generative design using virtual prototypes for interactive optimisation of structural nodes. User-interactivity contributed to the geometric definition of design spaces rather than the final geometric outcome, enabling another stage of generative design for the micro-structure of the structural node. In this stage, the micro-structure inside the design space was generated using fixed topology. In contrast to common optimisation strategies, which converge towards a single optimal outcome, the presented design exploration process allowed the regular review of design solutions. User-based selection guided the evolutionary process of design space exploration applying Online Classification. Another guidance mechanism called Shape Comparison introduced an intelligent control system using an inital image input as design reference. In this way, aesthetic guidance enabled the combined evaluation of quantitative and qualitative criteria in the custom-optimisation of structural nodes. Interactive node design extended the potential for shape variation of custom-optimized structural nodes by addressing the geometric definition of design spaces for multi-scalar structural optimisation.

summary	This position paper proposes and defines the nature of a framework, which explores ways of integrating control system (CS) with machine intelligence for generative design (GD). This paper elaborates about the implications of and the potential for impact on GD. The framework described in this work can be used as an active tool to drive design processes and support decision making process in early stages of architectural design. This type of system can be either automated in nature or adaptive to regular user input as part of interactive design mechanisms. The module of CS in the framework would allow additional guidance during design and therefore reduce the need of manual input to enable a semi-automated design practice for lengthy generative processes. This study on GD reveals emergent properties of the framework, for example the introduction of intelligent control allows guidance of GD to meet specified performance criteria and intended aesthetic expressions with reduced need for user interaction.

title	Using Generative Adversarial Networks to Create 3D Building Geometries
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2024.1.479
source	Kontovourkis, O, Phocas, MC and Wurzer, G (eds.), Data-Driven Intelligence - Proceedings of the 42nd Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2024), Nicosia, 11-13 September 2024, Volume 1, pp. 479–488
summary	Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to make a vast impact across disciplines, including transforming the architectural design process by autonomously generating full building geometries. One form of generative deep learning that has been used to create 2D and 3D representations of objects is Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Existing literature, however, has limited applications that utilize 3D data for building geometry generation, with previous studies focused on low-scale 3D geometries suitable for objects such as chairs or cars. This paper develops a new GAN architecture to produce high-resolution feasible building geometry. The training dataset used is a selection of 3D models of single-family homes from an existing database, pre-processed for the specific application. State-of-the-art GAN models are initially tested to establish baseline performance and applicability potential. Then, a systematic study is performed to identify the structure and hyperparameters necessary to successfully fit a GAN to this design task. The successful architecture, named 3DBuildingGAN, uses a combination of Wasserstein loss with gradient penalty, leaky rectified linear units for neuron activation in the generator and the critic, and the root mean squared propagation optimizer with a fixed learning rate. The proposed model generates outputs similar in size, shape, and proportion to the training data with minimal noise in the output. Evaluation of memorization properties indicates open research directions, such as incorporating memorization rejection and training on larger data sets. Finally, the study reflects on how AI algorithms can reshape creativity through data-driven design solutions.

title	Data and Parameterization Requirements for 3D Generative Deep Learning Models
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2024.1.615
source	Kontovourkis, O, Phocas, MC and Wurzer, G (eds.), Data-Driven Intelligence - Proceedings of the 42nd Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2024), Nicosia, 11-13 September 2024, Volume 1, pp. 615–624
summary	It is now within reach to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to autonomously generate full building geometries. However, existing literature utilizing 3D data has focused to a limited degree on architecture and engineering disciplines. A critical first step to expanding the use of generative deep learning models in generative design research is making training data available. This study investigates 3D building model data characteristics that make it suitable for generative AI applications. Key data set attributes are identified through a systematic review of the object-containing datasets currently used to train state-of-the-art 3D GANs. These requirements are then compared to attributes of existing available building datasets. This comparison shows that publicly available data sets of 3D building models lack essential characteristics for generative deep learning. Features that make these building models inadequate for the task include but are not limited to, their mesh formats, low resolution and levels of detail, and inclusion of irrelevant geometry. To achieve the desired properties in this work, necessary transformations of the data are incorporated into a tailored preprocessing pipeline. The pipeline is applied to an existing dataset that contains 3D models of single-family homes. The transformed dataset is tested within state-of-the-art GAN models to assess training performance and document future data requirements for applying deep generative design to buildings. Our experiments show promise for the impact that architectural datasets can make on deep learning applications within the discipline. It also highlights the need for additional 3D building model data to increase the diversity and robustness of new designs.

title	Irradiated Shade
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2020.1.038
source	ACADIA 2020: Distributed Proximities / Volume I: Technical Papers [Proceedings of the 40th Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-578-95213-0]. Online and Global. 24-30 October 2020. edited by B. Slocum, V. Ago, S. Doyle, A. Marcus, M. Yablonina, and M. del Campo. 38-46.
summary	The paper details computational mapping and modeling techniques from an ongoing design research project titled Irradiated Shade, which endeavors to develop and calibrate a computational toolset to uncover, represent, and design for the unseen dangers of ultraviolet radiation, a growing yet underexplored threat to cities, buildings, and the bodies that inhabit them. While increased shade in public spaces has been advocated as a strategy for “mitigation [of] climate change” (Kapelos and Patterson 2014), it is not a panacea to the threat. Even in apparent shade, the body is still exposed to harmful, ambient, or “scattered” UVB radiation. The study region is a binational metroplex, a territory in which significant atmospheric pollution and the effects of climate change (reduced cloud cover and more “still days” of stagnant air) amplify the “scatter” of ultraviolet wavelengths and UV exposure within shade, which exacerbates urban conditions of shade as an “index of inequality” (Bloch 2019) and threatens public health. Exposure to indirect radiation correlates to the amount of sky visible from the position of an observer (Gies and Mackay 2004). The overall size of a shade structure, as well as the design of openings along its sides, can greatly impact the UV protection factor (UPF) (Turnbull and Parisi 2005). Shade, therefore, is more complex than ubiquitous urban and architectural “sun” and “shadow studies” are capable of representing, as such analyses flatten the three-dimensional nature of radiation exposure and are “blind” to the ultraviolet spectrum. “Safe shade” is contingent on the nuances of the surrounding built environment, and designers must be empowered to observe and respond to a wider context than current representational tools allow.

summary	For considerable time research has been conducted into architectural design activities and the digital tools that support these design activities. Previous research endeavors have focused on specific aspects of digital tools and design processes and have yielded correspondingly focused insights. This effort attempts to build a framework that allows assembling insights from research across the domain of digitally supported facilities design in order to develop a cohesive set of design tool specifications. This design tool specification framework in combination with a review of existing research will allow identification of areas for future investigation to rethink concept tool design.

summary	The integration of performance evaluation into the building design process becomes increasingly important in order to respond to demands on contemporary design with respect to the future of our built and natural environments. This paper presents work on the second iteration of an implementation of a design performance optimization framework that attempts to respond to the challenges of integrating analysis and optimization into the design process. Main challenges addressed are speed of feedback through implementation on the cloud, utilizing parallelization of computations and availability of results in the computational context of the model through leveraging the parametric nature of the application; The goal is to enable designers in their decision-making throughout the design process with focus on earlier phases of the design process during which changes can be implemented faster and at much lower costs than in later phases of design or even during construction and occupation.

summary	Integration of analysis into early design phases in support of improved building performance has become increasingly important. It is considered a required response to demands on contemporary building design to meet environmental concerns. The goal is to assist designers in their decision making throughout the design of a building but with growing focus on the earlier phases in design during which design changes consume less effort than similar changes would in later design phases or during construction and occupation.Multi-disciplinary optimization has the potential of providing design teams with information about the potential trade-offs between various goals, some of which may be in conflict with each other. A commonly used class of optimization algorithms is the class of genetic algorithms which mimic the evolutionary process. For effective parallelization of the cascading processes occurring in the application of genetic algorithms in multi-disciplinary optimization we propose a cloud implementation and describe its architecture designed to handle the cascading tasks as efficiently as possible.
