title	Construction simulation using parallel computing environments
source	Automation in Construction 10 (1) (2000) pp. 69-78
summary	The paper describes and compares alternative approaches to implementing construction simulation models within a multiprocessor computing environment. Both parallel-algorithmic and neural network based methods of simulating construction processes are considered, and compared with the conventional serial-algorithmic approach. The lines along which a simulation algorithm can be divided into tasks for parallel execution on a multiprocessor are first discussed, and the merits of each approach are identified. This is followed by a brief discourse on neural networks, their application to construction simulation, and the way in which such an implementation can be implemented within a multiprocessing environment. The merits and demerits of all approaches are discussed with particular reference to a model of an excavation system. A case study comparing the speed at which each implementation can process a simulation shows the neural approach to operate approximately two orders of magnitude faster than the alternatives. The paper concludes with an indication of future research to be conducted in this field.

summary	We present a student design class, in which experimental full-scale parametric objects are planned and built. The class explores the possibilities of digital production chains in which CAAM techniques driven by parametric modeling can expand the range of possibilities for designing and producing architecture. We show how those possibilities and techniques can be integrated into architectural education in facilitating a transition from digital design to actual object. The didactic challenge represents teaching a methodological approach towards parameter-based design, its transfer into a software program and the choice of construction and production method.

title	Learning from Generative Design System in the 60's - Case Study of Agricultural City Project by Kisho Kurokawa
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.095

summary	The concept of generative design in Architecture and Urbanism can be found in the 60's before the wide availability of computer technology. This paper decodes one of the urban projects by Metabolist in 1960, which was intended to be a generative system applicable to other sites and evolves over time. Through our analysis, we de-code the formulation process, and verified our hypothesis by re-coding into the program using the software, Rhinoceros and Grasshopper. We found that the determinate factors rule more at the macro level of the project, but the parameters are set by taking the local conditions into account. At the micro level, the system leaves more freedom to accommodate various needs, reflecting the philosophy of the Metabolists. The investigation on this historical predecessor can provide useful insights for parameter settings in future generative system design.

title	More Words from Facility Operation Managers: Text-based Building Information for Inclusive Accessibility
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.1.241
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 1, pp. 241–250
summary	In the domain of Facility Management (FM), the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) poses significant challenges for the Facility Operation Manager (FOMr) in terms of effective integration into their regular workflow. Employing the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), this study highlights a conducive environment that enhances the usability of BIM for the FOMr. By expanding the application scenarios of BIM within the FM field, we contribute to completing the lifecycle of building models. We introduce 'Text-based Building Information' (TxBI), a system designed to complement Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) while emphasizing a text-centric approach. TxBI strategically focuses on systematically integrating Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) components, which are pivotal for daily FM operations. It generates a simple yet versatile dataset derived from the as-built BIM deliverable, channeling it to Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and streamlined 3D systems. The utility of TxBI is exemplified through its application in commercial software environments, showcasing the creation of lightweight digital twins of completed buildings. Significantly enhancing FOMrs’ access to building information, TxBI establishes a more versatile data environment for all building stakeholders. The accumulation of comprehensive information throughout the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) phase culminates in enhanced asset management and extended longevity of buildings.

title	The construction delivery system of the information age
source	Automation in Construction 8 (4) (1999) pp. 417-425
summary	The Performance Based Studies Research Group (PBSRG) at the Del E. Webb School of Construction, has developed a methodology to process data into information to reduce facility system life-cycle cost and risk of nonperformance. The methodology reshapes the current construction industry model from a `low-bid', `all the same' industry into a `value added' performance based industry. The performance information regulated industry changes roles, partnerships, and communication methods between the construction industry and facility owners. The PBSRG research effort (US$1000K, 1994–present) includes the design and improvement of the Performance Based Procurement System (PBPS), performance data collection on general, mechanical, electrical, landscaping and janitorial services, and design services in the public and private commercial sectors, the identification of performance levels in the industrial sector, and the design of a performance based structure for a manufacturer of construction systems, as well as the education of the facility owners and the construction industry.

title	Study of Architectural Shape Formation in Comparison with Natural Morphogenesis Using Computer Simulation
source	Proceedings of the 8th European Architectural Endoscopy Association Conference
summary	Geometric accuracy of architectural computer models allows to percept and to analyze the three-dimensional spatial compositions using computer images. The concepts and methodology of modern interdisciplinary science, in particular fractal geometry, have already been successfully applied in the various scientific fields, as astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology. Modern ecological paradigm does not separate human life and anthropogenic world from the natural environment considering all as unitary nonlinear ecosystem. The analysis of the architectural shape formation is a part of the study of morphogenesis in such different worlds, as non-living and living nature and man-made forms – real as well as virtual architecture.

Denver. 26-28 October 2023. edited by A. Crawford, N. Diniz, R. Beckett, J. Vanucchi, M. Swackhamer 24-32.
summary	The Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) was founded on October 17, 1981. The first meeting was held at Carnegie-Mellon University and attended by 24 founding members. When the history of ACADIA is discussed, out of these two dozen founders, three are frequently noted: William Mitchell, Charles Eastman, and Chris Yessios. Mitchell was a pioneer in computer-aided design and smart cities research and is, as Wassim Jabi, ACADIA’s 21st president put it, “one of ACADIA’s most famous founding members.”1 Eastman was not only ACADIA’s first president, but also one of the leading figures in the history of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and is often referred to as “the father of BIM.” Yessios is widely known for his work at Ohio State University and his role in developing Form.Z.

title	Sustainability and 3D concrete printing: identifying a need for a more holistic approach to assessing environmental impacts
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/s44223-023-00030-3
source	Architectural Intelligence Journal
summary	This paper aims to identify the current status of research in 3D concrete printing (3DCP), locate the sustainability considerations relevant to these trajectories, and to identify a gap in knowledge and future research challenge regarding the sustainability of 3DCP. To categorize the broad range of research topics within 3DCP, the paper introduces an assessment framework that subdivides this field into three sub-fields: material science, computational design, and structure and performance. Common sustainability considerations are identified for each of these sub-fields. As a result of this analysis, a lack of critical assessments on claims about the sustainability and environmental impacts of 3DCP is identified. Our survey of literature, and its analysis via this framework, finds that whilst certain sustainability aspects are highlighted, other measures and considerations are skimmed over, or omitted. It is found that whilst material optimization and the ability to create formwork-free, complex forms is noted as a main argument for the implementation of 3DCP, this claim is largely unsupported by reference or reported outcomes, and the environmental impacts are often only briefly discussed. There is a clear need for a holistic view on the sustainability issues which surround 3DCP. This paper further highlights the lack of comprehensive assessment tools and metrics for measuring the environmental impact of 3DCP and concludes that further research must be done to develop these tools, to allow architects to integrate 3DCP into sustainability-oriented design workflows. Our paper concludes that the development of these tools will lead to a more comprehensive understanding on the environmental sustainability of 3DCP, allowing research resources to be focused within each field to ensure 3DCP continues to develop in a sustainable way.

title	Do (not) sketch into my sketch - A comparison of existing tools
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2014.2.237

summary	Various computer-aided sketch tools can be used to support architectural designing (Tang, Lee, Gero, 2010) either individually in early stage of the process or in communication. We focus on the second mentioned. The goal of this paper is to give an overview of possible applications and mention the platforms which are supported. We explore the advantages or disadvantages of the tools and compare it with our newly developed application called ColLab sketch. With this application we hope in increasing speed and ease of graphic communication on one hand and testing architects demands on the other hand. We develop multiple criteria for evaluating the tools, while believing this paper could be of use to give a hint how to improve remote as well as co-located collaborative designing by sketch. Architectural designing is a very sensitive topic when it comes to sketching. Finally, we would like to compare the newly developed tool to this list and suggest improvements or experiments that help its finalizing.

title	A Parametric Approach to the Design of a Tensegrity Vaulted Dome for an Ephemeral Structure for the 2004 Olympics
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2003.301
source	Connecting >> Crossroads of Digital Discourse [Proceedings of the 2003 Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design In Architecture / ISBN 1-880250-12-8] Indianapolis (Indiana) 24-27 October 2003, pp. 301-309
summary	Tensegrity, defined as “tensional integrity,” is central to the design of a semi-open exhibition space that was submitted as an entry to the international competition for the design of “Ephemeral Structures for the City of Athens,” in the context of the 2004 Olympic Games. The main feature of the proposed exhibition space is a vaulted dome composed of interconnected detachable and deployable tensegrity units. The most challenging aspect in the design of the tensegrity vault was the generation of alternative spatial configurations for form exploration and study. For this purpose a mathematical code has been developed that links all the parameters that affect the design of tensegrity vaults. The code also allows for the parametric graphical generation of the vault by displaying geometric information in a 3D environment. This paper discusses the geometric basis of the code and its usefulness in the morphological study of the tensegrity vaulted dome for the proposed ephemeral structure. The mathematical code has been shown to significantly facilitate the study of various preliminary configurations of tensegrity vaulted structures.

title	Toward a performance-oriented architecture: An integrated design approach to a real time responsive structure
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2012.059
source	Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / Chennai 25-28 April 2012, pp. 59–68
summary	This paper started from the study of “performance-oriented architecture” for the purpose of developing a real time responsive prototype that can enclose large expansive interior space. Questions regarding the relationship between the structural arrangement of systems and the natural environment initiated an investigation in Phyllotaxis. It has been found in plant systems for the optimisation of photosynthesis with harvesting maximum amounts of solar energy. In the design of a real time responsive prototype, an algorithmic approach is introduced with the mathematical interpretation of Phyllotaxis and its translation into the global geometry of the prototype. Also, the usage of a Voronoi diagram is parametrically configured to form the local geometry of the prototype. The interactive mechanism of the prototype was achieved with an assorted computational application. Furthermore, with the demonstration of the aforementioned prototype in both digital and physical environments, its implementation process is explained.

summary	In this research, the goal is to develop a generating system for architectural color icons using Google Map Platform and Tensorflow-Segmentation. There has been no case of developing a system that allows users to visualize the color tendency of buildings as architectural color icons for each building element from images of various regions. It is considered meaningful to be able to create criteria for decision making in architecture and the urban design by developing a system to clarify the current state of the architectural colors. It will contribute a rise in the consciousness of landscape conservation and be essential for the design of architectures and public objects. This paper includes the explanation of development method, use experiments, and consideration of five problems among architectural color icons creation. It is assumed that the accuracy of the present system will be better as the technology improves.

title	Poiesis and Autopoiesis in Architecture
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2005.048
source	Smart Architecture: Integration of Digital and Building Technologies [Proceedings of the 2005 Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design In Architecture / ISBN 0-9772832-0-8] Savannah (Georgia) 13-16 October 2005, pp. 48-57
summary	The use of digital technology in architecture has proven to be more assertive than originally thought: it has reconditioned the nature of the design process, and established new processes and techniques of fabrication. Recent applications in digital technology show inquisitiveness in the contentious subject Genetic Algorithms. This new architectural process is characterized by two main shifts: from poiesis (or poetry) to autopoiesis, and from authenticity to mimesis. Since evolutionary simulations give rise to new forms rather than design them, architects should now be both artists and operators of both Inventive and Systematic design. Inventive design: The digital media should bring about poiesis (poetry). Digital spaces reveal and visualize the unconscious desires of urban spaces, bringing forth new dreamscapes, mysterious and surreal. This implies a Freudian spatial unconscious, which can be subjected to analysis and interpretation. The tools of digital dreaming, meanwhile, have opened a window to the ‘urban unconscious’. Systematic Design: Digital media should bring about an autopoiesis. This approach calls into question traditional methods of architectural design that replace the hierarchical processes of production known as “cause and effect,” and propose a design process where the architect becomes a constructor of formal systems. Will the evolutionary simulation replace design? Is metric space dead? The new algorithmic evolutionary conditions give architecture an autopoiesis, similar to biological dynamics. Paradoxically, the new emerging process is more insightful. The emphasis of the exploration is on morphological complexity. Architecture, through “machine” fabrication, may become more responsive, rigorous and poetic.

title	The Autopoiesis and Mimesis of Architecture

summary	The use of digital technology in architecture has proven to be more assertive than originally thought: it has reconditioned the nature of the design process, and established new practices and techniques of fabrication. The 21st century began with the technology of art. There is a new responsiveness to the reading and understanding of digital space, which is characterized by complexity and the uncanny. Recent applications in digital technology show inquisitiveness in the contentious subject Genetic Algorithms. This new architectural process is characterized by two main shifts: from poiesis (or poetry) to autopoiesis, and from authenticity to mimesis. Since evolutionary simulations give rise to new forms rather than design them, architects should now be artists and operators of both Inventive and Systematic design. Inventive design: The digital media should bring about poiesis (poetry). Digital spaces reveal and visualize the unconscious desires of urban spaces and bring forth new dreamscapes, mysterious and surreal. This implies a Freudian spatial unconscious, which can be subjected to analysis and interpretation. “Space may be the projection or the extension of the physical apparatus”, Freud noted1. Space is never universal, but subjective. A space would be a result of introjection or projection – which is to say, a product of the thinking and sensing subject as opposed to the universal and stable entity envisaged since the Enlighten. There is a spatial unconscious, susceptible to analysis and interpretation. Systematic Design: Digital media should bring about an autopoiesis. This approach calls into question traditional methods of architectural design – which replace the hierarchical processes of production known as “cause and effect” - and proposes a design process where the architect becomes a constructor of formal systems. Will the evolutionary simulation replace design? Is metric space dead? Is it replaced by the new definition of space, that of topology? The new algorithmic evolutionary conditions give architecture an autopoiesis, similar to biological dynamics. The use of algorithms in design and fabrication has shifted the role of the architect from design to programming. Parametric design has introduced another dimension: that of variation and topological evolution, breaking the authentic into the reused. Architecture now is about topology than typology, variation than authenticity, it is mimetic than original, uncanny and subconscious than merely generic. In a parallel universe, which is both algorithmic and metaphysical, the modeling machine creates a new abstraction, the morphogenesis of the “new hybrid condition”. The emphasis of the exploration is on morphological complexity. Architecture may become – paradoxically - rigorous yet more uncanny and introverted.

title	Simulating Urban Dynamics Using a Combination of CellularAutomata and Activity-Based Models
source	H.J.P. Timmermans, B. de Vries (eds.) 2008, Design & Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning, ISBN 978-90-6814-173-3, University of Technology Eindhoven, published on CD
summary	Cellular automata models of urban change have been criticised for their lack of behavioural theory and representation in simulating urban change. It has led to a plea for developing multi-agent models. As a first step into this direction, this paper discusses the formulation of a combination of a cellular automata representation for an initial configuration of land use. This is linked to an activity-based model of travel demand, which generates varying demand for facilities across space. Agents, representing facility providers respond to this demand in locating and resizing their facilities. The interplay between these components then results in urban dynamics. The model is illustrated using a hypothetical example of urban forms.

title	Latent Petroglyphs: Pattern Extraction From Prehistoric Rock Art Through Generative Workflows for a Design Project in Greece
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.1.149

summary	This paper regards the translation of indigenous rock art (petroglyphs) into training data for deep learning algorithms. Vis-a-vis the recent popularity of pre-trained AI models, the authors examine the potential of domain-specific search procedures to inform the process for a building design in Greece. Petroglyphs are a primitive form of artistic expression which has survived through the ages due to the medium upon which it was engraved. The practical aspect of this art was navigating through nature. The “Rock Art Center” aims to exhibit the narratives and culture behind rock art scattered in the mountains. Considering the adoption of generative adversarial networks (GANs) in the architectural workflow, the landscape and local prehistoric graffiti are viewed as datasets for tackling different design decisions, formally and conceptually interrogating the project’s scope. The existing rock art sites serve as the primary dataset to explore the building’s form, by accessing the 'latent' space of prehistoric rock art and its interpolation with the demands of the project. A number of algorithms and digital tools is employed to interpret the data in question.
