title	Building process summary
source	Automation in Construction 6 (1) (1997) pp. 11-16
summary	There is a lack of research in the UK construction industry. New technologies, particularly communications, are producing rapid change and, if the UK does not exploit this, it will be at the mercy of other countries which do. There is a lack of understanding of the decision making process which inhibits simulation. Clients are likely to exert more influence in future, particularly in building management where 50% of construction workload is on maintenance and repair. Electronic building maintenance manuals are needed. IT suppliers may become more involved and even buy into construction design firms in future. Education is vital to keep the industry at the forefront of IT development and new IT distance learning techniques could help.

title	Spatial organization schemes for databases of knowledge networks. Alternatives to represent its elements and relationships in real time
source	SIGRADI 2015 [Proceedings of the 19th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - vol. 2 - ISBN: 978-85-8039-133-6] Florianópolis, SC, Brasil 23-27 November 2015, pp. 459-464.
summary	The capability to observe the heterogeneous elements of knowledge networks in virtual environments, and the dynamics of these performative spaces, allows evaluating and reflecting on the quality of interactions in construction and recognition mediated processes. This paper presents the first results of an innovative proposal of visualization that integrates design methodologies and is based on an ad-hoc software for taking real-time information. As corollary, it debates about the relationship between representation, design and conception of space in a complex and augmented sociotechnical context, configured and experimented as a web of events that interacts at multiple levels of articulation.

title	A Method for Estimating Land Use Transition Probability Using Raster Data - Considerations about apatial unit of transition, fixed state of locations, and time-varying probability
source	Van Leeuwen, J.P. and H.J.P. Timmermans (eds.) 2006, Innovations in Design & Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning, Dordrecht: Springer, ISBN-10: 1-4020-5059-3, ISBN-13: 978-1-4020-5059-6, p. 69-84
summary	In the field of urban and regional planning, several Markov chain models for land use conversion have been proposed. However, some problems have been encountered when estimating land use transition probabilities. In this paper, a new estimation method to determine land use transition probability is proposed by taking into account spatial units of land use transition, fixed state of locations, and varying transition probabilities. The effectiveness of the proposed methods and some new findings on land use conversion are presented using numerical examples.

title	Sketching and direct CAD modelling in automotive design
source	Design Studies 21 (6) (2000) pp. 569-588
summary	This paper examines two methods of computer-based car styling: texture mapping and direct computer modelling. An overview of current activity in the field precedes a comparison and evaluation of the methods within a typical framework for automobile concept design. Three case studies illustrate the direct modelling method, showing differences of computer use in each case. Further developments of texture mapping are reported, with a proposal for iterative combining of texture mapping and direct modelling.

title	When research and teaching connect: Parametric design, digital fabrication and architectural design
source	SIGRADI 2015 [Proceedings of the 19th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - vol. 2 - ISBN: 978-85-8039-133-6] Florianópolis, SC, Brasil 23-27 November 2015, pp. 544-550.
summary	This article focuses on three aspects of the use of parametric computer programs in architectural design teaching: 1. the design of buildings with complex geometries; 2. the continuous production of physical models as an indissociable part of the design process; 3. the formulation of exercises seeking to explore the potential of programs and the ways of designing and building they imply. It relies on the didactic experience of a mandatory course of Architectural Design at the Institute of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in connection with the studies and experiments on parametric design and digital fabrication of Nomads.usp, the Center for Interactive Living Studies.

summary	A model of human-machine design interaction is presented. The model is based on synchrony of actions as it relates to designing, presenting, and discussing a design object over an electronic medium. The model descriptively accommodates existing technologies and areas of CAD research. The model prescriptively illuminates future CAD vis. the Web. The model is based on 3 factors : synchrony, presence, activity; and 2 players : human and machine. Future technologies are considered in terms of the a shifting role of the machine (the computer and the net) from server to agent to actor.

summary	This paper presents the overall information system architecture and the approaches used for creating the Palladio Virtual Museum - a heterogeneous database of history and architecture. Creating a virtual museum is treated as an information system engineering task. The World Wide Web (the Web) is used as the open access platform for both presentation and input. Client-server database transaction technology is used to provide a concurrent real-time system for consumers (visitors) and producers of information. The system is a test bed for structuring, searching, and presenting historical, architectural, spatial information.

summary	This study is based on Chladni figures and tries to spatially extend its representation of sound. The current Chladni figures only see parts of the sound. There should be more spatial representation of sounds because they are transmitted in space. This study explores how to capture and reconstruct invisible sound information to create three-dimensional forms. A series of steps are taken to record Chladni figures of different frequencies and decibels. Pure Data is used to generate sounds. The Chladni figures are captured in Grasshopper and converted into point clouds. These point clouds are processed by using different algorithms to produce layers of superimposed state from which 3D forms of sound can be generated and fabricated. Through the proposed methods of processing and representation, sound not only stays at the level of hearing, but can also be seen, touched, and reinterpreted spatially. With the spatial forms of sound, viewers no longer perceive sound through single but multiple states. This can help us comprehend sound in a vast variety of ways.

title	Facilitating Architectural Communities of Practice
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2010.707
source	FUTURE CITIES [28th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-0-9541183-9-6] ETH Zurich (Switzerland) 15-18 September 2010, pp.707-716
summary	An architectural community of practice is formed by designers working together on a common goal. Members of this community share a common professional language where the vocabulary of this language represents a shared understanding. Members of a community of practice operate both by recording common knowledge into documents and by actively participating in social processes in order to personally contextualize this recorded knowledge. ArcIMap is a framework, consisting of a method and a computational model, that facilitates communities of practice to acquire, represent, share and reusedesign information and knowledge, and targets the creation of situated digital environments where teams of designers communicate and collaborate using this information and knowledge. This paper describes ArcIMap, its background, and one of its implementations for a community of practice working on an urban renewal project in an educational context.

title	Information Modeling Applied to Cost and Energy Analysis During the Early Stages of Building Design
source	International Conference Proceedings on Systems Research (5th. : 1990 ). [6] p. : ill. includes bibliography
summary	The evaluation of design solutions by computer can only be achieved if the information describing the building design is in a form accessible by the computer. This not only demands that the data is in a machine-readable form, but that the data is logically organized, classified, and grouped so that its 'knowledge' can be found, extracted, used and modified by the variety of external sources. The article presents applications of information modeling to the design of knowledge bases to support design cost control and energy analysis

title	Performance-Oriented Design of Large Passive Solar Roofs: A method for the integration of parametric modelling and genetic algorithms
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2010.321
source	FUTURE CITIES [28th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-0-9541183-9-6] ETH Zurich (Switzerland) 15-18 September 2010, pp.321-330
summary	The paper addresses the design of large roof structures for semi outdoor spaces through an investigation of a type of performance-oriented design, which aims at integrating performance evaluations in the early stages of the design process. Particularly, aiming at improving daylight and thermal comfort under large structures, the paper focuses on the exploration of passive solar strategies to reduce the need for imported energies. Referring to this context, the potential of parametric modeling is investigated with respect to performance-oriented design and a method, denoted ParaGen, is presented, based on the integration of parametric modeling and genetic algorithms. The potentials of the method are shown by discussing a case study, the roof SolSt. The design process of SolSt is based on parametric variations of its curvature, the density of its modules and the geometry of its cladding and explored based on the daylight and solar exposure of the covered spaces.

summary	Studies on team performance have observed that some teams at the same stage in their development perform better than other teams, even of the same composition. Why is this? One of the main reasons is found to be a good team process. Researchers argue that collaborative process is an ideal case through which parties who see different aspects of a problem can constructively explore their differences and search for solutions that go beyond their own limited vision of what is possible. Much attention is now being paid to improvement of the design team process by establishing a collaborative environment in building design practice. Many scholars have prescribed various techniques and technology as ways of achieving collaboration in building design practice. A combination of these prescriptions does support design teams by facilitating one or more of the following: (a) team internal communication, (b) team external communication, (c) information sharing, and (d) decision making. Only recently have there been studies that have provided the strategies for integrating these techniques and technology for the establishment of a collaborative work environment. Researchers from various areas of research have this intention. This includes studies in Business Process Management (BPM), Business Process Re-Engineering (BPR), Total Quality Management (TQM), Project Management (PM), Workflow Management (WfM). All of these studies share one common feature. They all contribute to the study of the management of the team process. Despite the power of the concept and the history of successful application of process management techniques in building practice, the process management strategies are not a panacea. Rather it is a tool which, when properly used under appropriate circumstances, can aid design teams in the achievement of a collaborative design environment. The successful implementation or enactment of process management strategies in building design practice requires a mediator, a facilitator, or a project manager with a variety of managerial skills. However, it is not only enough to support major facilitators in the implementation or in the enactment of a design process that is planned for that teamwork. The performance of a design process should not only be depended on the skills or capabilities of tools that managers use to enact design processes. In order to achieve a collaborative design environment, members of the design team should also be given the support for monitoring and implementing of a collaborative design process. Team members should also have the ability to define, implement and track their personal subprocesses. Team members should also be able to monitor the process and be able to resolve the conflicts between their actions and other members' actions. A distributed process management environment is required in order to facilitate the management and control of the enactment of a collaborative design process. Such an environment should enable the control and monitoring of the enactment of a process and the resources required for its enactment. This paper presents the conceptual model of a process management environment that is developed in order to establish such a process management environment. It also discusses the findings of a study that is conducted for the validation and verification of this conceptual model.

summary	This paper presents a novel approach for the automatic creation of vegetation scenarios in real or virtual 3D cities in order to simplify the complex design process and time consuming modeling tasks in urban landscape planning. We introduce shape grammars as a practical tool for the rule-based generation of urban open spaces. The automatically generated designs can be used for pre-visualization, master planning, guided design variation and digital content creation in general (e.g. for the entertainment industry). In a first step, we extend the CGA shape grammar by Müller et al. (2006) with urban planning operations. In a second step, we employ the possibilities of shape grammars to encode design patterns (Alexander et al., 1977). Therefore, we propose several examples of design patterns allowing for an intuitive high-level placement of objects common in urban open spaces (e.g. plants). Furthermore, arbitrary interactions between distinct instances of the vegetation and the urban environment can be encoded. With the resulting system, the designer can efficiently vegetate landscape and city parks, alleys, gardens, patios and even single buildings by applying the corresponding shape grammar rules. Our results demonstrate the procedural design process on two practical example scenarios, each one covering a different scale and different contexts of planning. The first example illustrates a derivation of the Garden of Versailles and the second example describes the usage of high-level rule sets to generate a suburbia model.

summary	The parametric design techniques are developed over the past 15 years. And a new style called parametricism is born, which is the style rooted in digital animation techniques. The parametricism is based on the advanced parametric design systems and scripting method (Schumacher, 2009). This study is the research of defining the city of Istanbul and the skyscraper together in the sense of the parametricism. The result is expected to be a self-sufficient urban living proposal by using generative and parametric tools and scripting techniques. The other purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the skyscraper and the natural world, and the urban living.

summary	The contemporary design process is assisted by various analytical tools that through its results influence the decision-making. This research addresses the challenge of analysing the degree of influence of the methodologies and the effects they have on the decisions taken during the different stages. For this purpose, the evolution of the design process, the components of the models for energy analysis and a case study were analysed. The results of each analysis were compared to identify which variables and stages have greater impact throughout the design process, where preliminary results show that the analysis of the effects caused by the variation of the orientation and form over the energy performance allow greater savings in the early stages.of energy generation to promote on-site installation of clean energy sources in existing buildings, to ensure a more sustainable habitat.
