title	A Hermeneutic Interpretation of Concepts in a Cooperative Multicultural Working Project [A Hermeneutic Interpretation of Concepts in a Cooperative Multicultural Working Project]
source	SIGraDi 2017 [Proceedings of the 21th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-227-439-5] Chile, Concepción 22 - 24 November 2017, pp.659-665
summary	What are frontier zones in contemporary urban cities? This research project was developed in cooperation with an interdisciplinary group of researchers and students from Brazil and Germany and launched with an International Summer School in São Paulo in 2015. Its aim was to explore and invent urban spaces using the method of documentary film making as a medium to provide new insights and readings of the contemporary city. In Germany we analyzed these film productions by examining the main topics of the frontier zones in São Paulo. The method of documentary film making was once again chosen for the hermeneutic interpretation.

title	Pedestrian Behaviour Modelling

summary	This paper introduces a study of pedestrian behaviour modelling which incorporates ideas about agent-based systems and the traffic models based on the utility-maximization theory. The aim of this study is to examine the applicable scope of one of the basic assumptions in existing spatial behaviour models; the route with shortest distance maximizes the utility of each pedestrian’s travel. Although shortest-path models have been widely used in the field of Traffic management to predict routing behaviour, there can be seen a lot of erratic behaviour in urban areas, shopping migration behaviour for instance, which can not be explained by them. Thus, it is important to identify other possible influential factors on their utility maximization process in order to develop more explicable models of pedestrian movements. In this study, we implemented a simulation model using the shortest-path model as one of evaluation criteria of Genetic Algorithms (GA) to computationally emulate retail movements of shoppers in a big shopping centre and to test the accuracy of the model by comparison between the routes estimated by the model and actual trajectories of shoppers. This simulation system will be used as a platform for further modelling.

title	PROGRESS TOWARDS AN AMERICAN FULL SCALE ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN SIMULATION LABORATORY (SIM-LAB)
source	Proceedings of the 1st European Full-Scale Workshop Conference / ISBN 87-88373-20-7 / Copenhagen (Denmark) 15-16 January 1987, pp. 45-51
summary	The need for a hands-on, full scale mock-up facility where elements of the man-made environment can be tried out before being built has recently become of considerable concern to people from a wide range of fields. This is possibly a result of a more general recognition of all the barriers which crowd our physical environment; the barriers which impede our ability to work effectively and dwell comfortably. It may also have something to do with the fact that funds are no longer available for the building and production of too hastily conceived designs of the sort which need extensive modification and improvement in order to function in an acceptable manner.

title	Design Strategies for a 3D Printed Acoustic Mirror

summary	Large scale binder-jetting additive manufacturing has been available since almost a decade. While it offers great opportunities for the fabrication of complex ornate forms, so far, the potential of this printing method is not fully explored. Moreover, binder-jetted objects have never been tested for outdoor use and performance, because of the weak bond of the printed parts. This paper presents a design strategy that makes possible the fabrication of large, outdoor installations, with such a fragile material as printed sandstone. The presented process was developed for a full-scale installation of acoustic mirrors that was designed, manufactured and post processed in only a few steps. In the larger picture, this paper discusses how 3D printing can allow for design optimisation and reduction of material, while it proposes post-processing methods that strengthen and seal the printed objects for exterior use.

University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design. 27-29 October 2022. edited by M. Akbarzadeh, D. Aviv, H. Jamelle, and R. Stuart-Smith. 406-417.
summary	This paper presents a novel construction system that integrates natural and artificial components through the case study of the Digital Bamboo. A reversible non-standard structure is made of unprocessed bamboo poles connected with 3D printed joints and covered by light- weight 3D printed shading panels. The system combines multiple technologies to prefabricate all parts of the structure, which are controlled with a chain of computational tools.

title	Use of Hygroscopic Responsive Wood Prototype for Teaching Performative Architecture
source	SIGraDi 2018 [Proceedings of the 22nd Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Brazil, São Carlos 7 - 9 November 2018, pp. 1084-1090
summary	This research presents a method for teaching performative architecture notions to undergraduate students through a practical approach with low cost hygroscopic responsive bilayer prototypes made of wood veneer and aluminum foil. The research occurred in two phases, the first focusing on studying and testing the properties of responsive materials based on wood, and the second, the development and application of two workshops about performative architecture and responsive materials with undergraduate students of an architecture course. This paper shows the results of the workshops, which achieved their goals of stimulating the students and passing knowledge about innovative technologies in architecture.

title	What Complex Systems Research Can Teach Us About Collaborative Design
source	Proceedings of International Workshop on CSCW in Design, London, Ontario, Canada, pp. 5-12
summary	Collaborative design is challenging because strong interdependencies between design issues make it difficult to converge on a single design that satisfies these dependencies and is acceptable to all participants. Complex systems research has much to offer to the understanding of these dynamics. This paper describes some insights from the complex systems perspective.

title	A Complex Systems Perspective on How Agents Can Support Collaborative Design
source	Gero JS and Brazier FMT (eds) (2002) Agents in Design 2002. Key Centre of Design Computing and Cognition, University of Sydney, pp. 95-111
summary	Almost all complex artifacts nowadays, including physical artifacts such as airplanes, as well as informational artifacts such as software, organizational designs, plans and schedules, are created via the interaction of many, sometimes thousands of participants, working on different elements of the design. This collaborative design process is typically expensive and time-consuming because strong interdependencies between design decisions make it difficult to converge on a single design that satisfies these dependencies and is acceptable to all participants. Complex systems research concerning the generic dynamics of distributed networks has much to offer to the understanding of this process. This paper describes some insights derived from this novel perspective.

title	Double-Curved Form Approximation with Identical Discrete Panel Geometries
source	P. Janssen, P. Loh, A. Raonic, M. A. Schnabel (eds.), Protocols, Flows, and Glitches - Proceedings of the 22nd CAADRIA Conference, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Suzhou, China, 5-8 April 2017, pp. 457-466
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.457
summary	To reduce the costs of manufacturing multiple moulds for double-curved facade construction, this research suggests a method of approximating the desired envelope with identically formed panel geometries. The panels can then be fabricated by only using two double-curved moulds. In a second step, individual segments are cut out of the identical base geometries. The method has been successfully tested with the construction of a prototype. The result is an intricately textured free-form geometry. The installation was built at a reasonable cost compared to other ways of fabricating double-curved geometry. The strength of the panels was utilised as the sole structural system of the prototype.

source	Computer Graphics and Image Processing. 1976. vol. 5: pp. 68-105 : ill. includes bibliography
summary	The problem of building a computer-searchable data representation for a complex image and the effect of representation on algorithms for scene segmentation into regions is considered. A regular decomposition of picture area into successively smaller quadrants is defined, which involves logarithmic search. This hierarchical search and resulting picture representation are shown to enable rapid access of image data without regard to position, efficient storage, and approximate structural descriptions of constituent patterns. Examples involving solid geometrical objects and alphabetic characters are given

title	Connecting >> Crossroads of Digital Discourse
source	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, 436 p.
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2003
summary	Architecture is presently engaged in an impatient search for solutions to critical questions about the nature and the identity of the discipline. Meanwhile, evolving digital technology continues to serve as a key agent for prevailing innovations and new ideas in architecture. Still, this feels familiar, as technology has always been a catalyst for new ideas in architecture. A positive digital future in architecture requires a clearer definition of principles and skills necessary to maintain a rigor in emerging digital projects/projections. At the same time, recognition about the significance of the already existing digital scholarship in architecture must be connected with emerging lines of inquiry evolving within the discipline. Healthy disciplines remain tolerant of a state of flux by constantly questioning the inclusion\|exclusion, import\|export, and collaboration\|isolation to\|from new ideas, new techniques, new disciplines, and new technology. At the perimeter of this nebulous exchange, an innovative new digital discourse is emerging that offers some unexpected new conduits to an attentive discipline of architecture. Topic nodes have evolved which augment this discourse with overlapping issues, as well as a particular set of important distinctions from one another: Digital Pedagogy, Digital Tools, Digital Production/ Fabrication, Digital Visualization, Digital Projects, Digital Design, Digital Representation, Digital Thinking, and Digital Practice.

source	SIGraDi 2003 - [Proceedings of the 7th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Rosario Argentina 5-7 november 2003
summary	In order to configure a necessary infrastructure for discourse on digital futures, we must engage in the hard work of clarifying emergent trends in architecture directly resulting from the influences of digital technology. This paper aims at addressing the necessity for a rigorous and clearly defined infrastructure in the emerging area of digital architecture. A series of critical interrogations results from an examination of relevant literature of which it is intended to frame the discourse on the subject of digital architecture. Some final questions and projections will be offered as a call for future research and pedagogical strategies amongst digitally minded organizations.

title	Connect Globally \| Make Locally: Cases in Design - Through - Production Collaboration Between the Academy and Industry
source	SIGraDi 2010_Proceedings of the 14th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, pp. Bogotá, Colombia, November 17-19, 2010, pp. 26-29
summary	Collaboration and information exchange are the primary tactics for a globally connected locally produced design - through - production process. With strategic industry partners, Ball State University students test knowledge through real - world applications. While the open access to knowledge in the global environment is critical, it is also imperative to consider the ethic of production and regionally specific conditions under which work is enabled. To this end, the paper will reveal specific design - throughproduction industry - partner collaborations, while exploring the regional implications of making locally, and consider the role of the university to serve as a local catalyst for change in a shifting global economic climate.

title	Augmented Vision: Digital Devices and Post-processing for Experiential Learning
source	SIGraDi 2005 - [Proceedings of the 9th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Lima - Peru 21-24 november 2005, vol. 2, pp. 714-719
summary	Today, digital devices and post-processing provide for rich mediated observations of places. When we observe the natural world through a digital lens, it alters perception and augments our understanding. Digital devices affect the observing reality through a bias of digital laws, thus participating by revealing layers of information concealed within the captured scene. This paper outlines strategies for digitally augmenting our innate powers of observation and facilitating critical experiential learning through digital visual notation. Digitally augmented observation techniques were tested during student and professor related travel/study with Ball State University. Examples of time-based motion capture such as serial digital photography, post processed image manipulation, and digital video/still collage with multimedia narrative will be used to illustrate how digitally enhanced augmented vision techniques render observation of the everyday world in new terms. Additionally, the paper points to a trajectory for future digital notes scholarship by examining the potential for innovative new pedagogies, and situating the discourse in relation to an existing body of scholarship on traditional visual notes.

title	Visualizing Revisions: Representation Implications of Digital Fabrication
source	SIGraDi 2005 - [Proceedings of the 9th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Lima - Peru 21-24 november 2005, vol. 1, pp. 194-200
summary	Digital architecture contingent upon a conversation between digital visualization and digital production deploys an iterative and seamless process-oriented design development. Feedback loops are integral to this process/product, and thus require extensive management of complex visual and data related information. While much attention has been paid to fabrication and serial customization of digital architecture, very little discussion has been forwarded about innovations in visualizing and representing the design data integral in this feedback loop. This paper will examine innovative representational devices such as the matrix, sectioning, layering, and bracketing as new forms of organizing and visualizing complex data intent upon communicating multiple levels of operations during the fabrication process.

summary	A strong dichotomy exists between the factors of fluctuating natural orders apparent in the river, and the striation of the land by human historical and cultural influence. The installation exists as surface of influence between these forces. The form is informed by parameters of light, vista, material, and process through a method of digitally folding and perforating sheets of steel to enable a self structuring membrane which rises and falls from the plateau edge. A swath of prairie grasses, rising and falling in their own cycle, demarcates this edge. A screen of 15 weathering steel sheets stretches for 63’ across the boundary of the human order and the encroaching erosion of the natural realm. From the initial generation of geometry pairings, well “adapted” pairings are spliced from the parent and “bred” with similarly fit geometries. The fit of these pairs is based on the relationships between the form and the desired criteria of reflection, screening, and framing. To properly combine these pairings, several mutations occur (indicated in red).
