summary	This paper explores the potential of procedural modelling in generating design and assembly sequences for interwoven panel systems. The primary objective is to establish a computational framework that enables architects and designers to conceptualize and construct interwoven assemblies through rule-based generation, employing attribute grammar. The research delves into how procedural modelling, can effectively generate design and assembly sequences for interwoven panels in architectural design. The methodology unfolds in two parts: firstly, the framework for generative design for individual interwoven panel; and secondly, the definition of production rules for the assemblies, accompanied by practical applications of attribute grammar. The results indicate that using attribute grammar is an effective way to handle rule-based generated assemblies, incorporating attributes as semantics to manage transformations and block placement. This approach is expected to aid architects and designers by providing a robust computational toolkit for the creation of rule-based generation and assembly of interwoven panels. This research is expected to contribute to enhancing the development of complex geometric designs within architectural practice.

title	Training a Vision-Based Autonomous Robot From Material Bending Analysis to Deformation Variables Predictions With an XR Approach
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.2.201

summary	This paper proposes a "Human Aided Hand-Eye System (HAHES)" to aid the autonomous robot for "Digital Twin Model (DTM)" sampling and correction. HAHES combining the eye-to hand and eye-in hand relationship to build an online DTM datasets. Users can download data and inspect DTM by "Human Wearable XR Device (HWD)", then continuous updating DTM by back testing the probing depth, and the overlap between physics and virtual. This paper focus on flexible linear material as experiment subject, then compares several data augmentation approaches: from 2D OpenCV homogeneous transformation, autonomous robot arm nodes depth probes, to overlap judgement by HWD. Then we train an additive regression model with back-testing DTM datasets and use the gradient boosting algorithm to inference an approximate 3D coordinate datasets with 2D OpenCV datasets to shorten the elapsed time. After all, this paper proposes a flexible mechanism to train a vision-based autonomous robot by combing different hand-eye relationship, HWD posture, and DTM in a recursive workflow for further researchers.

title	A Distributed Agents Approach for Design and Fabricating Process Management among Prototyping Practice Environment
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.593
source	A. Globa, J. van Ameijde, A. Fingrut, N. Kim, T.T.S. Lo (eds.), PROJECTIONS - Proceedings of the 26th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 1, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Online, Hong Kong, 29 March - 1 April 2021, pp. 593-601
summary	This paper develops a design and fabrication process management platform for prototyping practice environments using a robot operating system (ROS) framework, which we refer to as a fabricating operating service (FOS). The FOS executes a sequence of fabrication workflow that goes from materials handling, positioning, fabrication simulation, executing process to parts assembling. Each work phase is considered a different activity in the execution phase and a compact printed circuit board node to send and receive physical data. These nodes are registered onto an FOS cloud master, which distributes the node-to-node communication and links up the entire sequence of the workflow map. We propose FOS given that its loose, coupled, and distributed computation framework allows the fabrication team to visualize and record data using sharable ROS package structures. The FOS provides the advantage of easily creating additional tools, configurations, and automated scripts, and it increases the fabrication capabilities by simplifying and providing solutions for future robotic-aided fabrication development.

title	Reinforcement Learning for Architectural Design-Build - Opportunity of Machine Learning in a Material-informed Circular Design Strategy
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.171
source	A. Globa, J. van Ameijde, A. Fingrut, N. Kim, T.T.S. Lo (eds.), PROJECTIONS - Proceedings of the 26th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 1, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Online, Hong Kong, 29 March - 1 April 2021, pp. 171-180
summary	This paper discusses the potentials of reinforcement learning in game engine for design, implementation, and construction of architecture. It inaugurates a new design tool that promotes a material-informed design-build workflow for architectural design and construction industries that achieves a comprehensive circular economy. As a proof of concept, it uses the project Reform Standard, a machine-learning-based searching system that designs new shell structures composed of existing wasted materials, as a demonstration to discuss how reinforcement learning, machine vision and automated searching algorithm in the game engine can promote a material-aware design and converts wastes into construction materials. The demonstrator project sorts and transforms irregular chunks of wasted broken plastics into a new form. Instead of recycling those wastes in an energy-intensive process, the game engine is capable of finding the intricacy and new machine-oriented aesthetics in those otherwise neglected wastes. Furthermore, future research directions such as robotic-aided construction are discussed by exposing the potentials and problems in the demonstrated project. Finally, the future circular strategy is discussed beyond the demonstrated tests and local uses. The standardization of material, legislation and material lifecycle needs to be comprehensively considered and designed by architects and designers during conceptual design phase.

summary	Over centuries architects have developed frameworks of representation of the built surroundings in diverse types of drawings or models. With the rise of digital techniques, virtual models slowly replace these representation techniques but are still far from replicating the real world's ambiguity and complexity. This paper wants to address the representational problems of architecture combined with architecture-related AI systems and missing standardized tests for such systems. For this, we suggest a standardized computational testbed that can serve for developing, testing and benchmarking design solutions for abstracted architectural problems with various AI approaches in a game-like environment.Furthermore, this paper will discuss architectural problems' subdivision into atomic subtasks solvable by specific AI systems. Ideally, there is a waste number of possible architectural subtasks that can be applied. The paper presents some examples of possible architectural game strategies that abstractly deal with concepts of walls and borders, zones and connections. Although this paper mentions different Reinforcement Learning techniques, it is not focusing on fine-tuning the AI algorithms. It aims to help achieve automation of specific design workflow phases, then in the longer term to optimize and propose alternative design solutions and improve the architectural community's overall work.

summary	Our research team develops sustainable and inclusive typologies of micro-architecture. These micro-architectures, aided by cutting-edge technologies, give room to more inclusiveness and functional-ductility. We are convinced that nothing is static, there is not just a single possible future. Because of that, we generate real/virtual architectures that do not respond only to a single type of user, place or use. In this case, we introduce a typological model focused on health and wellness services, currently under development by parametric design. Located in the city of Córdoba, Argentina and placed near public parks (where many citizens practice sports and recreational outdoor activities)). We use energy-efficient local technology to power devices that adapt to local weather; moreover, the equipment provides performance data via audio, visual and tactile outputs, and in adjustable-position devices.

summary	This paper is about the experience to show the possibilities of the Algorithm Aided Design to a community of students and Professors that actually uses Computed Aided Design, but just for drawings, not for a full digital process. This community is hosted at Belas Artes de S?o Paulo, who in February of 2015, opened up its first Digital Fabrication Laboratory, but people there didn’t have a good idea of what it could be, beyond scale models. It shows that the new theory that supports new digital paradigms in architecture and design was the job acquired for a research group.

title	Exploring the Possibilities of a Virtual Reality Aided Architectural Design System
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.2.555
source	Stojakovic, V and Tepavcevic, B (eds.), Towards a new, configurable architecture - Proceedings of the 39th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, University of Novi Sad, Novi Sad, Serbia, 8-10 September 2021, pp. 555-564
summary	Creating a visual 3D model is a vital part of the architectural design process. In architectural scenes, immersion is important to perceive the connection between various aspects. The general interaction cannot meet the needs of immersion. The immersion and interaction of virtual reality (VR) allows architects to feel and design spaces better. However, VR is currently mainly used only for visualization and walkthrough of the architectural space. The design process is still done using modeling software. This paper proposes a method of architectural design in virtual reality, allowing designers to experience the model created in real-time and improve the design. The use of visual mesh positioning and ray limits can help users create accurate architectural models. The paper also applied the innovative design method to the participatory design process and showed that architectural design in virtual reality can improve design quality and better meet the needs of users.

title	On-site Holographic Building Construction: A Case Study of Aurora
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.2.405

summary	Geometrically complex building components‚ reliance on high-touch implementation often results in tedious information reprocessing. Recent use of Mixed Reality (MR) in architectural practices, however, can reduce data translation and potentially increase design-to-build efficiency. This paper uses Aurora, a single-story residential building for 2021 China‚s Solar Decathlon Competition, as a demonstrator to evaluate the performance of on-site holographic building construction. This paper firstly reviews recent studies of MR in architectural design and practice. It then describes an MR-aided construction process of Aurora's non-standard building envelope and rooftop mounting structure, where in-situ holographic registration, human-machine cooperation, and as-built analysis are discussed. This paper concludes by stating that MR technologies provide unskilled implementers with a handy approach to materialise complex designs. The research was guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially aligning with the GOAL 9 which seeks innovations in industry and infrastructure.

source	Nicole Gardner, Christiane M. Herr, Likai Wang, Hirano Toshiki, Sumbul Ahmad Khan (eds.), ACCELERATED DESIGN - Proceedings of the 29th CAADRIA Conference, Singapore, 20-26 April 2024, Volume 2, pp. 149–158
summary	In order to further discover the potentials of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) for built environment research, this article involves in drone aerial survey and its post-processing, with a special focus on point cloud classification. By operating UAV flying over villages at foot of Mount Tai, capturing images of the villages as first-hand materials, and conducting research with the help of 3D model reconstruction software, deep learning implements, GIS environment, the findings of research response the questions of the relationship between flight altitude, working efficiency, and 3D reconstruction quality, and how to utilize the deep learning tools for certain building classification. The solution to the second problem, also the most noteworthy contribution of this article, is achieved by training a customized point cloud classification model. This model can be used to identify point clouds of specific types of buildings, which is an advancement compared to the basic Automated Classification in ArcGIS Pro. The quality of point cloud recognition is also better than the latter. Potential application of this research could be reflected in the statistical work for certain types of buildings. In other words, this study plays an intermediary role between UAV-aided image gathering to further spatial statistical research.

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	Before individual activities in the field of endoscopy are to be explained a brief insight into the surrounding thereof may prove meaningful. At the Department for Spatial Simulation endoscopy is not treated independently, but principally in connection with other simulation techniques such as the simulation of architectural spatial formations in full-scale, CAAD, stereoscopy and holography. The term SAAD (Simulation Aided Architectural Design) refers to a combination of spatial simulation techniques. This aspect plays a major role at the Vienna University of Technology.

summary	General outline: Typology has provided architects basic design resources in the past. Repertories have been created by comparing and establishing relations among a multiplicity of examples: these repertories have been used as the basis for new inventions. Research on type establishes the foundations for organized knowledge that can be accumulated, shared, and enriched by successive designs. We are testing our assumption that CAD is a specially adequate tool for the transformation and manipulation of type in the early stages of the design process. Goals: Our Seminar/Studio gives those who take part in it a renewed vision of type as a basic disposition that can be subject to dynamic transformations. The use of CAD will allow the participants to experiment and verify design decisions on the grounds of a systematic use of typological precedents. Methodology: Starting with definite examples of contemporary architecture and the design theory backing the examples selected, the seminar/ studio is developed in eight studio sessions, exploring different dimensions leading to the “parti”. It is meant for experienced designers, both advanced students and graduates. The first experimental seminar of two sessions took place in November 1999. A more developed version is under way in August, 2000.

summary	Driven by the statement: what if buildings could think, this work continues with another inquiry, what would happen if the building elements knew how to grow, regardless of the material they are made of, or if that building could respond throughout history to different challenges or structural needs. Therefore, this paper considers studying other structures evolved in time, such as trees and their predefined laws of growth. The construction elements could then be developed, responding to future scenarios, having the capacity to grow in volume, conserving their material properties, as a dynamic organism. This work presents a parametric approach, which, with the help of FEA, will stimulate the growth of the cross-section of a tree stem as if it were the cross-section of a building element.

title	JointSearch: Efficient parametric detailing preparation through user-defined and property-based joint type filtering
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 3, 386–400
summary	Detailing joints are important when designing structures. In this design process, a structure is divided into different joint types. Digital fabrication and algorithmic aided design have changed the conceptions and requirements of joint detailing. However, parametric tools that can efficiently identify joint types based on the solution space are not available. This article presents a methodology that efficiently generates topological relations and enables the user to assign joint instances to joint types. A series of property-based search criteria components is applied to define the solution space of a joint type. Valid joints are coherently filtered, deconstructed and outputted for detailing. The article explains both the methodology and programming-related aspects of the joint type filtering. The article concludes that the developed methodology offers the desired flexibility and may be suitable for other materials and applications.

summary	The increasing importance of performance prediction in architecture has driven designers to incorporate computational tools like generative design and building simulations to widen and guide their exploration. However, these tools pose their own challenges; specifically, simulations can be computationally demanding and generative design leads to large design spaces that are hard to navigate. To address those challenges, this paper explores integrating machine learning-based surrogate modelling, interactive data visualisations, and generative design. D-Predict, a prototype, features the generation, management and comparison of design alternatives aided with surrogate models of daylighting and energy.

summary	The continuous housing shortage demands efficient ways of design and construction. In the context of rising construction standards and shrinking manpower, one of the possible answers to the problem is prefabrication oriented towards do-it-yourself (DIY) construction methods, which could contribute to the low and middle income housing supply in the market. The article covers the process of developing an experimental tool for aiding single-family housing design with the use of small-element solid timber prefabrication, suitable for DIY assembly. The presented tool uses the potential of BIM technology adapting a traditionally-designed house to the needs of prefabrication and optimizing it in terms of waste generated in the assembly process. The presented experiment was realized in the Autodesk Revit environment and incorporates custom generative scripts developed in Dynamo-for-Revit. The prototype analyzed an input model and converted it into a prefabricated alternative based on the user- and technology-specified boundary conditions. The prototype was tested on the example design of a two-story single-family house. The results compare the automated optimized model conversion with manual adaptation approach. The implemented algorithm allowed for reducing the construction waste by more than 50%.
