summary	The world where humans live in, is constantly changing. In order to interact with these conditions, it is necessary for the architects to create an environment with sufficient dynamics based on the needs and behavior of its users. Kinetic architecture allows occupants to experience new environments which could cause raising the efficiency of the buildings. Therefore, constructions with kinetic elements could serve better utilitarian purposes in different fields.In the following essay, studies are about using kinetic design and fabrication method in one project despite ordinary ways regard to the two main points; 1. The impact of Khayyam's mathematics and astronomy on the proposed kinetic architecture and 2. Creating interaction Between Indigenous ideas and Contemporary Architecture in Khayyam Memorial Pavilion. As a result, a model is designed and several prototypes have been built.This essay illustrates that with making a connection among architecture and other fields of study could lead designers to be more creative according to the existing limitation in each project.

title	Processos de imaginação e a questão da linguagem: riscos da contaminação normativa e a necessidade de preservar a essência da imagem [Processes of imagination and the question of language: risks of normative Contamination and the need to preserve the essence of image]

summary	This paper aims to analyse the freedom of creativity as a tool for the upcoming of new images on the contemporary scene. We investigated some values that can expand the creative gesture, considering it as an act of freedom against the risk of becoming repetitive. During this process of searching the renewal of this experience, we developed a visual project, over a theme that was kept multifaceted and fluctuant, rather than closed in a solid concept. It integrates photography, painting, typography and digital manipulation, and was the result of a poetic dive that is discussed along this article.

title	Rethinking Traditional Indonesian Roof Bamboo Frame Structures by Utilizing Parametric Tools and Automated Fabrication Techniques: A Systematic Review
source	C+++: Computation, Culture, and Context – Proceedings of the 11th International Conference of the Arab Society for Computation in Architecture, Art and Design (ASCAAD), University of Petra, Amman, Jordan [Hybrid Conference] 7-9 November 2023, pp. 110-133.
summary	In traditional Indonesian architecture, bamboo and timber-frame structures are essential elements, with roofs being a prominent feature. This is due to the tropical climate conditions that demand such a design. However, the traditional Indonesian hyperbolic-paraboloid roof is at risk of extinction due to modern construction demands, and traditional craftsmanship is gradually being lost. To address this issue, our research investigates which existing parametric design tools and fabrication techniques are suitable for a digital workflow and assembly production of Indonesian traditional roof structures. Through a systematic review and analysis of 19 selected articles, we have categorized the various workflows, tools, and techniques and their suitability to propose and be integrated into a novel Indonesian bamboo-based roof structure fabrication workflow, making it accessible to contemporary architecture.

title	Rethinking Bamboo Roof-Based Architecture of Indonesian Traditional House Using Parametric Design and Automated Fabrication Techniques
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. 203–212

summary	Indonesian traditional houses are well known as roof-based architecture due to the names of the houses given by the type of roof shape. The roof is the distinctive dominance of the house geometry in the overall size and body proportions, which aims to respond to the tropical climate and solar radiation. The roof structure is made of timber and bamboo with a non-rigid structure using traditional rope and palm fibre joints. Parametric design and digital fabrication have disruptively boosted the progress of complex emerging bamboo architecture design and structures over the past few years. However, it has remained challenging because bamboo construction relies heavily on manual fabrication and hand-operated assembly. Seeing this opportunity, we attempt to parametrically design and robotically fabricate the bamboo roof structure, automate the process, and move forward from the traditional method towards digital fabrication. Our verification design experiment object is a typical hyperbolic paraboloid bamboo roof scale prototype. Our findings highlight the advantages and challenges of bamboo-based structure design, robotic fabrication process, and novel opportunities for contemporary Indonesian bamboo architecture.

title	An Agent for Supporting and Simulating Locations Decisions of Firms
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	The objective of this paper is to present the scope and the contents of an agent for supporting and simulating location decisions of firms. An application of one of its features, which is related to finding a location for a given firm, is developed here as an illustration of the approach. We can conclude that the agent is able to perform an evaluation of suitable locations in space given a set of firm’s characteristics or requirements. Other features may also be derived, for example, finding firms that meet the environmental characteristics and also an attempt to simulate the allocation of firms, seeking a location, to the set of available locations.

title	Constructing Distributed Fretted Instruments for the Web
source	International Conference on Generative Art
summary	In this article, we present a new computer based music instrument for distributed performance on the Web. It was named “Cordas Virtuais” and we took advantage of the recent Java2 implementation to create a general model for fretted-string instruments using class abstractions. There is a heavy usage of JAVA Objected Oriented inheritance to encapsulate gestures derived from fretted string instruments using parameters such as string tuning, group of strings, hand gestures, rhythmic patterns, fingering and alike, that carry each a set of attributes and properties. We call this kind of new musical application as Distributed Musical Instrument (DMI). As an applet, Cordas runs in any browser supporting the current Java Virtual Machine (JVM) across the Web. We describe the concept of PlayStyle that was created to define styles of fingering on the strings. In the implementation we have two class-groups: the left hand and the right hand gestures. The left-hand classes control pitch changes or chords, and a right hand control the rhythm, dynamics, micro-rhythms and rhythmic patterns. A Co-ordination Matrix controls real time changes on left-hand movements. This matrix generates chord orbits that are equivalent to the traditional chord cadences. Finally, to show the potential of Cordas, we presented four musical examples in which a set of fretted instruments varying from the Classical Guitar to the Chinese Pipa were simulated.

title	Towards New Materiality and Structures: Generating 3D topological interlocking assemblies from 2D Penrose tiling using interactive geometric software
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. 255–264
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2024.1.255
summary	The term Topological Interlocking Assembly (TIA), proposed by A.V. Dyskin et al., refers to an assembly system whose internal elements are both translationally and rotationally locked. Such systems allow masonry construction to form stable assemblies more sustainably, relying not on mortar or special connectors but by the geometric arrangement of bespoke blocks. Prior studies in TIA focused mainly on platonic geometries, and a few have considered curved structures, derived primarily from regular 2D tessellations. In contrast to existing methods, this paper explored nonplatonic mortarless vaults with TIA generated from aperiodic Penrose tiling for both structural function and aperiodic aesthetic in architecture. The patterns formed by Penrose tiles, invented by Sir Roger Penrose in the 1970s, are aperiodic, i.e. they do not repeat regularly. This research used Rhino Grasshopper to enable real-time control and visualization of design parameters and variations in 2D tiles and 3D aggregation methods. Using geometric software as an interface enables architectural form-finding through material behavior and structural principles. The TIA approach considered is shown to offer ample design space for nonplatonic geometries and breaks masonry architecture’s dependence on conventional construction methods. This computer-aided design outcome allows us to formulate new understandings of materiality and structures.

title	Pseudo-cross-modal Translation: Bridging Architectural Plan and Perspective through a pix2pix Network
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. 179–188
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.1.179
summary	Architectural pedagogy often segments designs into diverse representation forms like plans and renderings. With AI's growing influence on early design through GANs, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, there remains a gap in translating between diverse architectural representations, a phenomenon we term 'Pseudo-cross-modal Translation', indicating the indirect transformation between non-analogous architectural representations. Addressing this, our research hypotheses a practical need and actionable possibility to translate architectural plans into perspective renderings via neural networks, exploiting the information differences between them. We navigate this intricate translation utilising a pix2pix network of which the dataset encompasses plans with designated view cones and corresponding rendered perspectives. The training data are sampled from the model of Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion and its variations. Evaluations through perceptual surveys, which incorporate modifications in information complexity of plans, illuminate the neural networks' nuanced capability to bridge plans and perspectives under various conditions. Our results not only validate this translation but also spotlight the computational statistics' latent potential in deciphering unseen spatial features from the variance between plans and perspectives. This work unveils a novel method for generating architectural imagery, promoting a holistic spatial understanding. center8641080

title	HOUSE SENSE: Designing smart houses with intelligent interface design
source	CAADRIA 2006 [Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia] Kumamoto (Japan) March 30th - April 2nd 2006, 313-322
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2006.x.s1v
summary	The research and development of smart houses are emergent because of the information and communication technological development and the search for better living quality from occupants. This paper therefore explores how smart technologies are applied into smart houses within the living context. Through a pilot study of cases and technological innovations to address the new living context by technology-interface-design strategies, a development framework of smart house is formed by three major elements, i.e. smart materials, technologies, and design. In order to actualize house senses, the prototype for smart houses is evolved. When space and wireless smart components are integrated, the living environment becomes more flexible and adaptable to accommodate or support activities digitally, and users can interact with space via context aware computing for acquiring and assimilating information in order to enhance their living experience.

title	The Creation of Urban Form: A Normative Approach to Modelling
source	CAADRIA 2007 [Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia] Nanjing (China) 19-21 April 2007
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2007.x.t8k
summary	The aim of this research project is to develop a methodological process that allows the designer to assemble and create various scenarios representing an urban environment through the utilization of economical computer based methods. During the last decade different techniques have been developed to address the needs of visualisation of urban areas many being based on photographic and photogrammetric systems. The demand for 3-D urban models continues to grow and although new technologies have undoubtedly reduced the time needed for the construction of a 3D model, there are still some remaining problems related to data quality and the level of the dimensional accuracy. On the basis that these problems are primarily related to software and hardware constraints and in conjunction with the fact that the richness and complexity of an urban space is difficult to represent in a 3D context, there is a growing interest in the modelling of the urban fabric which is not dependant on heavily capitalised technology for its data. The core principle of the current research project is summarised in the process of deploying a mechanism, which will allow the visualisation of urban form without loosing its quality and architectural characterisation. This technique suggests that a selection of various building types can be collected and described by their architectural elements, textures, scale and dimensions. From each group of buildings a library of fragmented architectural components can be then derived. The accomplishment of this methodology is the formulation of a 'grammar' comprised of a characteristic ‘syntax’ and its associated ‘vocabulary’. Therefore the expected outcome of this research is an approach that would allow the designer to create easily and quickly not only any desired building but additionally any imaginary cityscape.

summary	We investigate the creation and reinterpretation of an architectural design process using a variety of digital and physical media. We study how tools for design influence perception, comprehension and creation of spatial volumes within both Virtual Environments (VE) and physical realms. We explain how designers translate spatial volumes and communicate architectural design ideas by using VE and conventional models. In a series of reinterpretation of architectural meanings we examine the translation of threedimensional design from virtual to tangible depictions and vice versa. We conduct a design-studio in order to explore issues of quality, understanding, communication and building of architectural compositions. VE can be an environment for design distinguishable and facilitating reality. We test this statement by interchanging both realms to that extent that the boundaries of each one are nearly dismantled. Virtuality and reality are both used in alternative formand design-finding exercises in order to gain an overall conclusive design.
