title	Diagramas interativos: visualização e especulações sobre as dinâmicas urbanas [Interactive diagrams: visualization and speculation about urban dynamics]

summary	The main instrument of urban regulation in Brazil is the plano diretor. Currently, apart from serving as a legal document, it is also the sole means of representation of the rates, zones and boundaries that it determines. However, this representation has been inefficient and, given the need to include civil society in decision - making, it becomes imperative that the impact of decisions be reviewed and communicated. As an effort to solve this problem, we propose the creation of an interface that combines information design and GIS (geographic information systems) in the format of an interactive diagram.

title	Gridshell structural evaluation criteria based on Upward and Downward Modeling Methods in Karamba3D
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. 188-195
summary	Despite the vast number of researches that address Gridshells as regular meshes, there is a lack of studies discussing hybrid meshes. In this context, this paper presents a parametric approach and employs visual algorithms for designing digital gridshells with different mesh patterns. We intend to formulate a methodology for Karamba 3D applications that address the structural performance according to variations in geometric composition, number of props, and construction methods. The work seeks to examine patterns that improve structural performance, through a parallel discussion between Upward and Downward modeling methods. Although the Upward modeling method is the most recurrent in studies on the topic, in this study, the Downward method generated structures with better structural performance.

title	Simplified for Resilience: A parametric investigation into a bespoke joint system for bamboo
source	SIGraDi 2016 [Proceedings of the 20th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-7051-86-1] Argentina, Buenos Aires 9 - 11 November 2016, pp.405-411
summary	Research reveals that most of the structural failures in a natural disaster are related to improper construction assembly methodologies related to human errors. This paper aims to reduce human errors in the building process by taking advantage of computational tools, and using a renewable building material. The research investigates the creation of a novel structural system for bamboo that is able to be repaired, replaced, altered, and easily assembled to restore any damaged building structure. Bamboo is an organic product with diameters that are irregular and unpredictable. The inconsistency in this natural product requires an adaptable construction methodology that responds to its organic nature. A customised joint system is created using parametric software that quickly adapts to the irregularity of the bamboo and are then fabricated using additive printing techniques. The parametric software gives unlimited control of the joint system based on the programmed relationships between the differentiations of each unique bamboo connection. Fabricating each unique joint gives a secure connection at each intersection facilitating an adaptable architecture, whilst reducing construction waste. This paper introduces the groundwork for the implementation of “on-site” manufacturing of a framework joint system. The manufacturing utilises the power and performance of a parametric platform with the technology of bespoke three-dimensionally printed joints – a flexible system that can respond to organic materials and natural external conditions

title	The miniature city: the use of rapid prototyping techniques to make urban scale models.
source	SIGraDi 2009 - Proceedings of the 13th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, Sao Paulo, Brazil, November 16-18, 2009
summary	The aim of the present paper is to describe a case study about the production of scale models of large urban areas with the use of digital prototyping techniques. Throughout the year 2008, the Laboratory for Automation and Prototyping in Architecture and Construction (LAPAC) was commissioned with the production of a scale model of the State University of Campinas´ campus. Laser-cutting and Selective Laser Sintering were used to produce the terrain and the buildings. The products that resulted from this research demonstrate that rapid prototyping processes are extremely helpful to produce scale models of large urban areas.

title	Generating two-dimensional schematic diagrams of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems from three-dimensional building information models
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 14 - no. 3, 219-232
summary	In this article, we propose a method of generating two-dimensional schematic diagrams from three-dimensional models of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems on computer-aided design software to represent this information in a more traditional, user-friendly format. It can be difficult to grasp the relationships between various mechanical, electrical, and plumbing elements in building information models because they are represented in a visually complex, three-dimensional manner. On the other hand, the relationships between building elements can be easily understood when using traditional schematic diagrams. First, the network of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and a section view are extracted separately from three-dimensional models. Next, these extracted files are displayed as schematic diagrams on computer-aided design software. The expressions of traditional drawings were referenced to generate new diagrams. After schematic diagrams were created, they were evaluated by staff members in the facilities department of a university in Japan.

title	Method for Finding Elements Similar to Those Causing Building Component Failure Based on Building Information Models
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2019.2.021
source	M. Haeusler, M. A. Schnabel, T. Fukuda (eds.), Intelligent & Informed - Proceedings of the 24th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 2, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand, 15-18 April 2019, pp. 21-30
summary	In this study, we propose a method for finding elements similar to those that cause failure based on the spatial information and properties of the building component network in building information models (BIMs). As an example of failure, we selected the degradation of fittings such as doors. The developed process was performed using a BIM software package. First, we identified elements that had experienced failure based on past repair records. Then, similar elements were found based on information for a door class obtained from the selected element. Finally, the elements were filtered using either spatial or attribute information, and the results were exported as a comma-separated values file. An operation that adds other information to the attribute information of the elements extracted from the BIM is also proposed. After a sufficient number of items were identified, elements similar to the failed elements are identified by sorting.

summary	In this paper, we propose a method of generating schematic diagrams from 3D models of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems in order to represent this information in a more traditional, user-friendly format. It can be difficult to grasp the relationships between various MEP elements in building information models (BIM) because they are represented in a visually complex, three-dimensional manner. On the other hand, the relationships between building elements can be easily understood when using traditional schematic diagrams. First, sets of connected elements are extracted from a 3D model of MEP elements using their connection properties. Next, various elements of these systems are identified as nodes and their connections are represented as edges. Finally, these systems are displayed as a schematic diagram using element attribute information.

title	A history and application of visual simulation in which perceptual behaviour movement is measured.
source	Architectural and Urban Simulation Techniques in Research and Education [3rd EAEA-Conference Proceedings]
summary	For our research on perception and judgment, we have developed a new visual simulation system based on the previous system. Here, we report on the development history of our system and on the current research employing it. In 1975, the first visual simulation system was introduced, witch comprised a fiberscope and small-scale models. By manipulating the fiberscope's handles, the subject was able to view the models at eye level. When the pen-size CCD TV camera came out, we immediately embraced it, incorporating it into a computer controlled visual simulation system in 1988. It comprises four elements: operation input, drive control, model shooting, and presentation. This system was easy to operate, and the subject gained an omnidirectional, eye-level image as though walking through the model. In 1995, we began developing a new visual system. We wanted to relate the scale model image directly to perceptual behavior, to make natural background images, and to record human feelings in a non-verbal method. Restructuring the above four elements to meet our equirements and adding two more (background shooting and emotion spectrum analysis), we inally completed the new simulation system in 1996. We are employing this system in streetscape research. Using the emotion spectrum system, we are able to record brain waves. Quantifying the visual effects through these waves, we are analyzing the relation between visual effects and physical elements. Thus, we are presented with a new aspect to study: the relationship between brain waves and changes in the physical environment. We will be studying the relation of brain waves in our sequential analysis of the streetscape.

summary	In collaborative design studio via computer networks, the whole communication could be logged in database. Design Pinup Board is a virtual wall to pin up design ideas and developments, and it plays a roll to provide a user interface to DPB database. The more active collaboration is, the more information is stored in DPB database. This leads to the difficulty of a glance of the process, and time-consuming searching of pinup precedents. This study describes multiple visualization methods as flat and intuitive interfaces to DPB database, instead of a deep hierarchical DBP structure, followed by a short discussion of a case study in a VDS project.

summary	This paper describes our development of a face-to-face design meeting environment that considers the integration of IT and architectural space. The Memo Externalizer (ME); proposed system, focus on how to externalize personal ideas in group discussions. The ME is a very simple system using lightweight technologies; web cameras which film each participant's memos and monitors which are set up over the heads of each participant to show their memos to each other. Through analysis from a comparison experiment, we discuss the effectiveness of the ME.

title	Embodying Architectural Form and Space by Coupling Computer and Human Performance Using Motion Capture Technology: Study on Application of Motion Capture to Design Process for Generating New Geometry
source	Em‘body’ing Virtual Architecture: The Third International Conference of the Arab Society for Computer Aided Architectural Design (ASCAAD 2007), 28-30 November 2007, Alexandria, Egypt, pp. 757-766
summary	This research aims to develop fundamental design methodologies for human space and product design by motion capture of human activity. It is intended to generate new geometry using a motion capture system as design input device and then to develop it to design interior space and products such as furniture from data extracted from human motion. In order to produce a ubiquitous and comfortable environment, performance modeling focusing on the relationships between space and physical motion is needed. Making an object of complex shape is thought to be a new application of motion capture technology. This research proves that the numeric data of body actions can be transferred and developed to object shapes.

summary	Gehry Partners’ (GP) sculptural approach to tectonic form, with its dramatic curves, complex geometry, and idiosyncratic application of materials, seems to have redefined the limits of architecture. The development of a strong formal vocabulary has been achieved by advanced use of information technologies, including CATIA, which allows translation among various tectonic representations, both in physical and digital forms. In addition, the nature of the office has much to do with other changes in the project delivery system, such as the relationships with associate architect, manufacturers, and subcontractors. This paper discusses how new technology changes the design and fabrication process, which has evolved from GP’s milestone project, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and how organizational efforts to involve the industry in the design process facilitate the project. Unlike at Bilbao, in the newly-completed Stata Center GP produced all the construction documents. This shift coincided with a gradual change in which GP was becoming involved in the technical aspects of their projects much earlier in the design process. Therefore they had to invest in new working relationships with the construction team, including fabricators, manufacturers, and contractors. The approach of Gehry and his team suggests that architectural practice can be liberated from its conventional arrangements. Although it is still evolving, Gehry has achieved a holistically integrated organizational system where the architect has far more direct interaction with all aspects of design and fabrication.

title	A Pedagogy of Interdependent Technologies: An Experimental Studio for Synthesizing Digital and Mechanical Processes
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1998.099
source	Computers in Design Studio Teaching [EAAE/eCAADe International Workshop Proceedings / ISBN 09523687-7-3] Leuven (Belgium) 13-14 November 1998, pp. 99-106
summary	As computer technology is integrated into design curricula, significant shifts in pedagogy must be developed that acknowledge and incorporate alterations in teaching design process. This paper offers a critical analysis of the effects on design productivity of an experimental design studio that proposed and investigated an interdependent relationship of mechanical and digital technologies. A design studio was developed based on linking digital and physical technologies through systematic transformations of one technology into the other. Transformations were structured as a series of projects to test concepts of "making/building" in the form of abstracting/ making concrete, building/un-building, and un-making/making. Student permutations of the transforming operations revealed that design processes occurred as a mutuality, rather than an opposition, of the virtual and material. Design activity was revealed as a patterned flow of systematic formulations built on previous transformations. Key results of the studio indicated increased early development of conceptualization, increased refinement and integration of design issues throughout the project stages, and greater sensitivity to use of materials in a more holistic realization of concepts. Current curriculum structures that fragment technologies and subjugate ideas of craft, technology, and ideation into separate courses or educational issues, do so at the expense of substantive design refinement. The experimental studio of interdependent technologies offers digital and mechanical technologies as an holistic feature of design processes, thus indicating a greater integration of "support" courses into design studio and implicating an increased role of "hands-on constructing" such as that in wood/metal shops.

source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 2 - no. 2
summary	Flux’s value is the combination of rich visual imagery organized around thechronological projects of Asymptote with insightful interviews that revealthe process of design that blurs the distinction of physical architecture andcyberspace. Asymptote actively experiments with the contemporarymeaning of space while embracing physical and virtual notions of experienceand meaning within a hybrid model. The descriptions of the projects revealan evocative insight to process and meaning but lack critical, or alternative,points of view. However, this does not diminish the overall use of Flux inrevealing the importance of a critically based understanding of digitaltechnology, cyberspace, and new directions in architecture.

title	A Model for Integrated Spatial and Structural Design of Buildings
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.1998.123
source	CAADRIA ‘98 [Proceedings of The Third Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / ISBN 4-907662-009] Osaka (Japan) 22-24 April 1998, pp. 123-132
summary	Recent advances in computer graphics and 3D user interfaces have enabled the emergence of 3D sketch modeling as a viable approach to architectural design, especially in the early schematic phase. This paper describes how a system can be built and used which integrates the capabilities of a good structural analysis system in the user-friendly working environment of a design-oriented modeling program. The structure of a building model as seen by finite element algorithms is a schematic idealization of the building's physical structure into nodes, elements, internal releases, boundary conditions, and loads. The more familiar architectural model used for design visualization represents spatial elements such as roofs, floors, walls, and windows. Rather than treat these models independently, the structural model can be defined in relation to the architectural as a virtual model with inherited common characteristics and additional relational and attribute information, using feature-based geometry data structures to organize topological intelligence in the spatial model. This provides the basis for synchronous modification of structural and architectural aspects of the design.

summary	The transmission technologies of digital environments propagated by the Internet, specifically the ubiquitous webcam system, present new material to mediate people’s engagement with civic space and simultaneously offer new ways to materialize its three-dimensional form. Recent research shows that the technical functionality of the webcam can be extended through deliberate intervention within the performance of contemporary camera optics. This suggests the development of new techniques for design intervention that operate in direct relationship to the evolution of the very technologies they exploit. With specific focus on the optical and chromatic translational capacities of the camera, the paper will discuss how the manipulation of its colour receptor mechanism not only provides the designer with an opportunity to exceed the constraints of commonly available colour palettes, but also it will show how this digital disruption actively capitalises upon the discrepancies that govern design strategies applied to formal production within coexistent virtual and real-time space. Through the deployment of colour filter array patterns, this new technique is able to extend the working gamut of RGB colour space in a way that that allows chromatic selection for exterior and interior urban space to be linked to programmatic distribution across duplicate environments.
