summary	Recent trends in architectural education and practice have encouraged the use of computational tools and methods for solving complex design problems. Newer technology can augment the design process by applying progressively more-advanced computational tools. However, the complex nature of these tools can lead to students getting lost at the skill-building stage, they can become trapped in computational design terminology, leading to designs of limited spatial quality. This paper introduces a pilot study from Izmir University of Economics (IUE) for the integration of computational design technology in the undergraduate architectural curricula, based on a workshop series using a top-down teaching strategy.

summary	This paper explores the unconventional decision-making environment of gamification to uncover past urban networks. To test the validity of decision making behavior of humans in the simulated topography, we designed, implemented, and tested a serious board game simulating the urban networks of the past. Using the topography, we abstracted, simplified, and represented several layers of GIS data into hexagon tiles to design a board game. The game also employs playing cards, divided into chance and trade cards, which are used to determine players’ movement on the board and their scores. In the game environment, we simulate the movement of trade, while the players, as agents, explore and reveal possible intercity networks. We monitor and document the gamers’ pathfinding/pathmaking decisions and use these to make comparisons with computational simulations. By tracking users’ movements and behaviors, we were able to create data for spatial analysis, game statistics, and user behaviors. Based on experiments and employing gamers’ stig- mergy, the research provides predictions for lost urban networks of Anatolia.

title	Parametric Modeling of Archaeological Heritage in the Age of Digital Reconstruction
source	SiGraDi 2014 [Proceedings of the 18th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-9974-99-655-7] Uruguay- Montevideo 12,13,14 November 2014, pp. 614-617
summary	Although 3D modeling has become standard within archaeology, the process of digitally reconstructing archaeological objects requires clumsy and time-consuming procedures. Typically, these procedures call for careful collaboration, between architectural historians, archaeologists and computer modelers, to produce scientifically correct and artistically pleasing models. This paper proposes the use of shape grammars for digital reconstruction of the archaeological heritage artifacts that were discovered during surveys along the coast of Turkey. Concentrating on ceramic vessels, the archaeologists and divers classified the artifacts based on their dimensions and observations. The classifications are used to infer the rules that will generate the digital model for each artifact. Rhinoceros modeling software with Grasshopper plug-in was used to generate 3D models. The goal of this work is to demonstrate that knowledge generated within a virtual world experience, can inform the evaluation of data derived from textual and archaeological sources, and vice versa.

source	SIGraDi 2004 - [Proceedings of the 8th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Porte Alegre - Brasil 10-12 november 2004
summary	The objective of this work is to present some reflections about the new possibilities of the teaching of an architectural project from the experiment .inhabiting the city.. The experiment indicates that the classic design studio can benefit from positive effects with the augmentation of the use of the informative medium in the process of teaching and learning as a larger exploration of written language complemented with iconographic register, the drawing and verbal argumentation. Conditions revising position and hierarchy can be created, opening the possibilities for dialogue from the use of tools such as discussion groups, chat rooms, e-mail, moreover affecting research and learning, encouraging students and teachers to relate their knowledge and in contrast, offering a lot more autonomy and liberty.

title	Gaming Engine as a Tool for Designing Smart, Interactive, Light-Sculpting Systems
source	Herrera, PC, Dreifuss-Serrano, C, Gómez, P, Arris-Calderon, LF, Critical Appropriations - Proceedings of the XXVI Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi 2022), Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, Lima, 7-11 November 2022 , pp. 617–628
summary	Even though interactive (Offermans et.al., 2013), adaptive (Viani et.al., 2017), and self-optimizable (Sun et.al., 2020) lighting systems are becoming readily available, designing system automations, and evaluating their impact on user experience significantly challenges designers. In this paper we demonstrate the use of a gaming engine as a platform for designing, simulating, and evaluating autonomous smart lighting behaviors. We establish the Human - Lighting System Interaction Framework, a computational framework for developing a Light Sculpting Engine and for designing occupant-system interactions. Our results include a. a method for combining in real-time lighting IES profiles into a single ‘combined’ profile - b. algorithms that optimize in real-time, lighting configurations - c. direct glare elimination algorithms, and d. system energy use optimization algorithms. Overall, the evolution from designing static building components to designing interactive systems necessitates the reconsideration of methods and tools that allow user experience and system performance to be tuned by design.

summary	This study focus in design process that uses the digital environment in context of undergraduate courses of Architecture and Urbanism, mainly the Digital Architectural Design (DAD). From author's previous studies that classified the teaching practice in Latin America, the Brazilian data were analyzed due to its expressive and heterogeneous features. Faced with a scenario that points to institutional characteristics reflect in the teaching approach, a horizontal mapping was performed. A data cross-referencing through correlation methodology was carried out. As result, there is a prevalence of public institutions that use teaching practice using DAD, most of them located at South and Southeast with a close link between teaching and research.

summary	This paper describes a teaching methodology created in a graduate course for insertion of parametric design techniques in patrimonial architecture. The teaching strategy was based on structured schemes available in Grasshopper plug-in for Rhinoceros software, in which the students can manipulate the variables dynamically like a game. The selection of patrimonial architecture elements encouraged the students to create compositions of isometric procedures, and transformations with concepts of symmetry, proportion and recursion.

source	II Seminario Iberoamericano de Grafico Digital [SIGRADI Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-97190-0-X] Mar del Plata (Argentina) 9-11 september 1998, pp. 116-123
summary	The potential of 3D virtual environments in the field of architecture and the roll of the architect in the development of such environments are subjects that require our attention. In particular, the subject of virtual architecture, not as representation of future buildings but as an architectural product to be inhabited in a virtual context, surely requires our attention. The paper addresses the question of validating Virtual Architecture" as an architectural product and makes reference to the potential it offers for the professional intervention of the architect. In such a context, the paper elaborates on the expertise that the Architects of Virtuality needs to acquire. For conclusions, the paper develops a model of curriculum that articulates traditional elements from the curriculum of architecture and the curriculum of graphic design.

title	Integrating Introductory CAAD Courses and Upper Level Electronic Design Studios
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1998.157
source	Computers in Design Studio Teaching [EAAE/eCAADe International Workshop Proceedings / ISBN 09523687-7-3] Leuven (Belgium) 13-14 November 1998, pp. 157-164
summary	Although the use of computers has become widespread among architecture students, their use in design studios often lacks integration. To gain maximum advantage from computers, design students must acquire a breadth and depth of knowledge that allows them to choose the right tools, integrate multiple technologies, and apply knowledge to new situations. It is not possible for students to gain all of this knowledge in an ad hoc way as part of a design studio. Thus, an introductory CAAD course is a necessary prerequisite for participation in design studios that employ computer methods. The paper presents the experience of two faculty members currently working on the integration of their second year introductory CAAD courses and their fourth year Electronic Design Studios. The paper describes the pedagogical methods used in the introductory CAAD courses, and shows how they serve as the foundation for exercises in upper level electronic design studios. The paper also presents plans for the implementation of distance education methodologies in the delivery of computing and studio courses. The paper ends by providing conclusions that address how the use of computer technology permits the addition of instructional objectives that go beyond those of conventional design studios.

source	SIGraDi 2011 [Proceedings of the 15th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Argentina - Santa Fe 16-18 November 2011, pp. 424-427
summary	This paper describes the implementation of a hybrid learning environment (HLE) through the creation, deployment and administration of a large-enrollment course on the subject of Design Thinking. The challenge illustrated by this on-going case study is the one of meeting the learning objectives for a population of novice learners from heterogeneous background through a creative articulation of state-of-the-art instructional technologies. As an additional challenge, given current financial constraints in higher education, the implementation had to address limited funding in the development of the learning environment, the instrumentation provided by the students, and its delivery to large groups of students.

title	Reference Architecture for Computer Integration in Denmark
source	The Computer Integrated Future, CIB W78 Seminar. September, 1991. Unnumbered : ill
summary	This paper gives an overview of the principles and the existing integration framework for a new set of projects in Denmark, intended to develop a common reference architecture for the integration of design, construction, distribution and use of building products. The budget for these projects is 6 million dkr. The new projects are based upon existing reference architectures from previous projects - called 'DIGIDOK' (Digital building documents) and 'EITI' (Contractors Association IT-initiative) - which over the past 4 years have provided a set of generic application models, data models and EDIFACT specifications. The total budget was around 15 million dkr. New projects serve as a coordinating link and part of a greater IT-initiative 'data interchange in the construction sector' comprising 15-20 subprojects with a budget or around 30 million dkr

source	SIGraDi 2012 [Proceedings of the 16th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Brasil - Fortaleza 13-16 November 2012, pp. 216-218
summary	This paper aims to discuss the possible contributions that parametric modeling environments can bring to descriptive geometry teaching process in architecture courses. The paper shows a method where models developed in Grasshopper are used to illustrate how is possible to combine computing concepts, shape generation and design references during descriptive geometry classes. In this work is used as design precedent, solutions created by the Mexican architect and mathematician Felix Candela. His concrete shells developed from hyperbolic paraboloids are recognized as important references in architecture. As was said, during the research was developed a set of models in Grasshopper. This models were created in a way to show to the students the concepts required to build an hyperbolic paraboloid.

title	An ontology representing Roberto Burle Marx’s landscape design solutions
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2011.389
source	Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / The University of Newcastle, Australia 27-29 April 2011, pp. 389-398
summary	The objective of this undergoing research project is to propose a new approach to landscape design education, based on design cognition and computational design theories, such as patterns, shape grammars and parametric design. The system is based on an ontology that contains classes of design concepts and examples of their instances. This paper shows specifically the development of the ontology that will structure the whole system. The information necessary to understand each of the design concepts is represented by a schematic shape grammar rule. Each concept will be illustrated by a good example of application, extracted from the work of Brazilian landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx. A prototypical implementation of the system is being developed, with a hierarchical taxonomy of the concepts and examples.

title	Bring in the Noise - A robotic-aided framework for the indirect shape translation and molding of inexact geometries.
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.1.827
source	Kepczynska-Walczak, A, Bialkowski, S (eds.), Computing for a better tomorrow - Proceedings of the 36th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, Lodz University of Technology, Lodz, Poland, 19-21 September 2018, pp. 827-834
summary	This paper examines how mediated translations that embrace indeterminacy - from design to fabrication - can enhance material and tactile explorations. It investigates a dialogue between a digital environment that supports the design process, and fabrication processes that combine tools that are both precise (the robot) and indeterminate (casting/forming devices) in their essential functions. We present a research inquiry into this issue by providing a reflective account of a robotics-aided framework for the fabrication of inexact geometries using reconfigurable pin tools (RPT). These tools, with their inherent indeterminacy and variability, were used as a base mold for casting blocks in concrete and plaster. The central thesis of this paper is that a non-linear fabrication process - one imbued with variability rather than deterministically controlled for formulaic production/outcome - becomes a potent generator of novel forms. By focusing on process, rather than on the product of design, designers can subvert the geometrical control inherent in a digital-material output, thus favoring discovery over order and material sensitivity over determinacy - essential qualities in progressive architecture practice.

source	SIGraDi 2006 - [Proceedings of the 10th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Santiago de Chile - Chile 21-23 November 2006, pp. 224-227
summary	The experimental subject “Pathological analysis and proposals of intervention in buildings” is born as a result of understanding that the lack of connectivity between the subjects of the architecture career is due to the absence of a scene that connect them. The objective of this subject was to share a space for the construction and generation of knowledge from the personal interest and the commitment with the solution of a real necessity. The specific thematic was the “intervention in existing buildings” and it worked with a designed methodology to generate technical files that allow the intervention founded on them. Software Photomodeler was used to elaborate the photogrammetric survey and the digital platform Moodle to administer all the information. The fundamental thing of this experience is the cross-sectional characteristic (by disciplines and ages), recognizing that to incorporate the digital knowledge to the development of the subject were key to obtain the feedback of the system formed by professors, assistants, monitors and students.

title	Line Drawings of Octree- Represented Objects
source	ACM Transactions on Graphicsò January, 1988. vol. 7: pp. 61-75 : ill. includes bibliography.
summary	The octree structure represents the space occupied by an object as a juxtaposition of cubes. The octree structure is highly sensitive to object location and orientation, and the three-dimensional shape of the represented object is obscured. It is helpful to be able to see the actual object represented by an octree, especially for visual performance evaluation of octree algorithms. This paper presents a display algorithm that helps visualize the three-dimensional space represented by the octree. Given an octree, the algorithm produces a line drawing of the object represented by the octree, using parallel projection, from any specified viewpoint with hidden lines removed. Example of some line drawing produced by the algorithm are given. The complexity of the algorithm is also discussed

source	Automation in Construction 10 (6) (2001) pp. 731-740
summary	Development of computer support in design is showing several shifts in focus over the latest decades. This paper relates to the shifts from detail design to conceptualization, from artifact geometry definition only to the inclusion of process knowledge, and from isolated aspects to integrated aspects. It discusses a possible solution for simultaneous consideration of life cycle process aspects during conceptual design using the process tree representation. Integrating process aspects can be considered a preparation for an integrated representation of artifact and process aspects to be used in a front–end environment for conventional CAD detailing systems
