title	Spatial Schemata and Design Competence: A Case of Beginning Designers
source	Second Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture & Urban Planning (Vaals, the Netherlands), August 15-19, 1994
summary	In the course of learning professional skills in architectural design, students will develop, usually with the help of instructors, certain ways of analyzing spatial relations. Such spatial schemes are considered critical means to the comprehension of the graphical representations of spaces, and therefore schemes of different kind will have different effects on design performance. This study intends to explore this issue. Three sets of experiments are conducted to test our working hypotheses as stated as follows: (i) to reproduce a plane graphic requires knowledge and skills different from those to recognize; (ii) some schemes are more effective than others in reproducing plane graphics; (iii) the kind of schemes that can effectively reproducing given forms (in plane graphics) can also have positive effects on design capabilities. It is interesting to further differenti-ate the kinds of schemes and their power as design tools. All these experiments employ three kinds of spatial schemes: the categorical, the referential, and the hierarchical from the results we can reach the following conclusions: (i) reconstruction is a different mental activity from recognition which is mainly a comparison between the input data and the known characteristics reconstruction relies more on the structured relations among data that should be established in the course of recognition. Therefore, effective cognition is a part of design competence; (ii) categori-cal schema is found most effective in recognition test. The quality of this type has to do with the quality of its contents. Referential schema can effectively relate elements to one another and to the context in which they are located. This schema contributes to the quality of spatial compositions. Hierarchical schemata are more general that can help identify dependent relations among elements, and therefore reduce the complexity. Conceivably this can increase the efficiency of problem-solving in design.

title	Singing Cans - Prototyping an experimental wind instrument through parametric design integrated with field experiments
source	Sousa, JP, Xavier, JP and Castro Henriques, G (eds.), Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution - Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference - Volume 1, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2019, pp. 703-710
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.1.703
summary	We present a study of how parametric design can be linked to field experiments where ready-made plug-ins are not available for performative modelling. The study centres on prototyping 'Singing Cans' - an experimental wind instrument made with an assembly of drinking cans that can produce sounds in recognizable pitches by interacting with airflows. We describe how field experiments conducted in a fluid flow lab can generate performative resources linkable to parametric design modelling. In Singing Cans, we focus on how to get airflow through a hole made on drinking can to make sounds. The prototyping process involved a lab-based calibration process to establish the relationship between the air volume of a can, measured by water-filling, and the pitch produced, measured by the Tuner Lite by Piascore. The field experiments resulted in a dataset capturing a can's sound-making behaviour in terms of water volumes and pitches. A parametric model that can take in wind data generated by a CFD package and output a 3D frame for site-specific cans installation is presented.

title	Automatic sensor evaluation in BMS commissioning of building refrigeration systems
source	Automation in Construction 11 (1) (2002) pp. 59-73
summary	A strategy and software is developed to automatically diagnose and evaluate the Building Management Systems (BMS) sensors of building refrigeration systems during commissioning or periodical check (recommissioning). The strategy is based on the first law of thermodynamics (i.e., heat and mass balance of water networks). The strategy evaluates soft sensor faults (biases) by examining and minimizing the weighted sum of the squares of the concerned mass and/or steady state energy balance residuals represented by the corrected measurements over a period, on the basis of the measurements downloaded from BMS. A Genetic Algorithm is employed to determine the global minimal solution to the multimodal objective function, which can be difficult to achieve by traditional gradient-directed search methods. The sensor bias estimates, the confidence intervals of bias estimates and the comparisons of the balance residuals before and after the correction are generated by the software to provide a convenient and reliable means for the engineers to check and diagnose the measurement devices of BMS. The strategy, the software configuration and examples of application are presented in this paper.

title	Dynamic and real-time simulation of BMS and air-conditioning system as a `living' environment for learning/training
source	Automation in Construction 10 (4) (2001) pp. 487-505
summary	Dynamic and real-time simulation models are developed to simulate the thermal, hydraulic, mechanical, environmental and energy performance of building a variable air volume (VAV) air-conditioning system and its building management system (BMS). On-line direct digital control (DDC) and supervisory strategies of the BMS controlling the dynamic air-conditioning system are simulated. A window-based users interface is developed to simulate the man–machine interface of a BMS, through which users can monitor the on-line operation, tune the local control loops, and reset the supervisory control strategies. This paper presents models, simulation software, and examples that users practice on the simulated on-line BMS and air-conditioning system using the software.

title	Digital Planting - Fabrication of Integrated Concrete Green Wall via Additive Manufacturing
source	D. Holzer, W. Nakapan, A. Globa, I. Koh (eds.), RE: Anthropocene, Design in the Age of Humans - Proceedings of the 25th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 1, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, 5-6 August 2020, pp. 145-151
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.1.145
summary	Green walls are becoming a symbol of modern architecture representing sustainability and aesthetics. However, the fabrication of wall components that can nurture the growth of plants and other living creatures requires components to locate soil and other substrates, a controlled rugosity for plants and moss to grip, and conduits to distribute water and nutrients. This is normally done by adding extra attachments to the faÃ§ade. In this paper, we introduce a digital approach to design and produce architectural components that can integrate green wall's functional requirements into the wall itself. Such components are fabricated via Additive Manufacturing (AM) extrusion with the assists of robotic arms.

title	Sequence-based prediction in the conceptual design of bridges
source	ASCE Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering 11(1): 37-43
summary	This paper explores the application of a machine learning technique in knowledge support systems in civil engineering design. It presents a sequence-based prediction method for engineering design and demonstrates its utility in the conceptual design of bridges. The basic idea of sequence-based prediction is that the most recent numbers of similar design cases are used in predicting the characteristics of the next design and more recent cases are given stronger influence on decision making in the new design situation than older ones. This paper develops a model of sequence-based prediction and carries out a number of experiments using it. It is then applide to a set of standard data and the results of using a sequence-based prediction method are compared with other methods. The empirical results show the potential applications of the method in engineering design.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2003.739
summary	We propose to use games as instructional supports in architectural design studios. Games used in this context, or design games, exhibit six structural factors: rules, goals, outcomes/feedback, conflict/competition/challenge/opposition, interaction, and representation. With these factors in mind, we develop a "Design Concept Trading Game." Our aim is to improve students' ability in three aspects: to articulate design concepts, to assess design alternatives, and to integrate partial designs (developed from various design concepts) into a coherent whole. The pilot study of this "Design Concept Trading Game" generated encouraging results. Continuing efforts are underway to establish a framework of using games as design instructional tools.

source	T. Tidafi and T. Dorta (eds) Joining Languages Cultures and Visions: CAADFutures 2009 CD-Rom
summary	Traditional remote collaboration technologies and platforms are found restrained and cumbersome for supporting geographically dispersed design activities. Based on Single Display Groupware (SDG) (Stewart, Bederson, and Druin, 1999) and Mixed Presence Groupware (MPG) (Tang, Boyle, Greenberg, 2004), a Spatial Faithful Groupware is presented in this paper to address some issues in remote collaboration. This paper discusses some of these limitations and argues how these limitations could possibly impair efficient communication among designers.

title	DfD-based Design, Assembly, High-Accuracy Real-time Monitoring and Levelling Calibration for Large-scale Prefabricate Structure with Multiple Measuring Systems
source	Jeroen van Ameijde, Nicole Gardner, Kyung Hoon Hyun, Dan Luo, Urvi Sheth (eds.), POST-CARBON - Proceedings of the 27th CAADRIA Conference, Sydney, 9-15 April 2022, pp. 517-526
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.2.517
summary	This article introduces a novel monitoring method for the construction of high-precision prefabricated structures based on multiple sensors and measurement technologies. The proposed method introduces the optical motion capture system and combines it with traditional construction measurement technology to achieve real-time dynamic monitoring of more than hundreds of points within a large construction area more than 1810m. Tolerance fitting algorithms and the correction methods are developed and testified to provide a global tolerance with ±1mm. Meanwhile a real-time visualization interface is developed to provide the feedback and analysis of the tolerance for each structure components. As demonstrator, such monitoring system is applied in the real construction of a DfD (Design for Disassembly)-based prefabricated steel structure in the "Water Cube‚ (Chinese National Aquatics Centre) in Beijing. With the demand to control the flatness tolerance within 6mm (within a 2550m area), a large area monitoring system was applied in the project and finally reduced the construction time within 20 days.

summary	There are structural and aesthetic components in architectural design that mirror the foundational components of musical compositions. In recent years, both architects and musicians have taken advantage of the advances in technology, allowing for new designs and compositions that would not be possible without computers. Mixed Realities, the merging of different reality worlds to create new environments where objects from these reality worlds can interact with each other in a real-time manner, is envisaged to become such technological platform bridging between space and sound. This paper discusses the interfaces of such bridging that can occur via Mixed Realities, the associated issues and possible outcomes of a Mixed Realities system that would allow for collaboration between architects and musicians.

title	Traditional Chinese Village Morphological Feature Extraction and Cluster Analysis Based on Multi-source Data and Machine Learning

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2023.1.179
summary	This study of traditional village morphology provides a possible entry point for understanding the growth patterns of settlements for sustainable development. This study proposes a hybrid data-driven approach to support quantitative morphological descriptions and to further morphology-related studies using open-source map data and deep learning approaches. We construct a dataset of 6819 traditional villages on the Chinese official list with geometrical, geographic and related no-material information. The images containing village buildings combined with roads or other environments are represented in binary to explore the integrated influence of these elements. The neural network is implemented to quantify the morphological features into feature vectors. After dimension reduction, cluster analysis is conducted by calculating the distance between the feature vectors to reveal five main types of Chinese traditional village patterns. The proposed method considers their overall spatial form and other factors such as size, transportation, graphical structure, and density. At the same time, it explores a framework using machine learning in the conservation and renewal work. And it also shows the possibility of data-driven methods for design and decision making.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.2.263
summary	The traditional settlements including Chinese traditional villages are facing the challenges posed by the digital divide in rural areas, which lack open-source data and comprehensive design. To address this, the study conducts an association analysis using morphological clustering and knowledge graphs, aiming to uncover the intrinsic logic and connections between tangible and intangible factors of village morphology. A comprehensive dataset of 8155 traditional villages, including geographical and morphological features, was compiled, supplemented with additional data on 1023 villages covering both tangible and intangible attributes. The methodology involves feature vector extraction using pre-trained neural networks, dimension reduction, and cluster analysis. Additionally, a graph database of village knowledge graph was established to identify entities and relationships, with visualization facilitated by the Neo4j. This research provides a method for analysing the characteristics of traditional villages, offering insights into their development trends and contributing to the formulation of globally applicable conservation and sustainable strategies in the era of artificial intelligence and climate change.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2024.2.229
summary	The integration of photogrammetric survey techniques with hygrothermal assessment offers a comprehensive approach to architectural heritage survey and analysis. This study focuses on the Dragon Pagoda in China, constructed during the Yuan Dynasty using limestone and traditional brick masonry. By leveraging photogrammetry, highly reliable 3D models capturing the spatial and textural characteristics of the Pagoda are generated. These models are then integrated into hygrothermal simulations using WUFI Plus to assess the building's structural health and resilience against weathering processes such as surface recession, thermal stress, and freeze-thaw cycles. The study demonstrates that climate parameters significantly impact the deterioration of stone building materials. The results from the hygrothermal simulations reveal detailed insights into the temperature and humidity transfer within the Pagoda's materials, enabling a thorough damage risk assessment. The innovative combination of photogrammetric data with hygrothermal assessments provides valuable insights for the long-term preservation and restoration of historical buildings, addressing the challenges posed by climate change and ensuring the durability of cultural heritage structures.

title	Pursuing New Urban Living Environment In The New Millennium: Projecting The Future Of High-Rise And High Density Living In Hong Kong
source	International Conference on Generative Art
summary	High-rise and high density living is a way of life for most of the 6.7 Million population of Hong Kong. The merits and demerits affiliated with Hong Kong’s compact urban form continues to attract academic deliberations and debates over the acceptability of such urban form as an alternative to urban sprawl for future city and urban life-style. This paper traces the development and causes for Hong Kong’s high-rise and high-density urban form over the past fifty years or so, and focuses its discussions on the pros and cons of high-rise living based on subjective user survey in late 2001 and early 2002. Because of an articulated land shortage, acute topography, escalating population growth, and shortage of time, Hong Kong government and planners have little options left but to adopt vertical development, resulted in a densely and mixed use urban habitat packed with closely built high-rise residences and commercial buildings. From the survey, it is clear that mixed and intensive land use, high quality of living and recreation infrastructure, efficient public transportation network, and segregation of pedestrian and traffic can facilitate the performance of compact urban form. In addition, most of Hong Kong families have been accustomed to high-rise living pattern and the disadvantages such living pattern might cause on its resident’s social communication and children education are readily ignored by most of the people. Based on the analysis of current living situation and development trends in Hong Kong, new pattern of future city form is conceived to be a likely applicable development way in a coastal city with such high density as Hong Kong in the next 50 years. Design countermeasures are presented in this paper to suggest ways of alleviating the pressure of the forever-increasing house requirements in Hong Kong. high-density, high-rise, compact city, social acceptance, life-style.

title	Urban Site Adaptive Layout Generation: User-configurable Algorithms Based on MQP
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 2, pp. 505–514
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.2.505
summary	The growing reliance on digital methods presents a promising avenue for addressing challenges related to maximizing design quality according to user preference. This paper introduces a suite of integrated algorithms based on Mixed Quadratic Programming (MQP) to enhance the adaptability of the existing model for generative layout challenges in urban design. The algorithms for site handling are divided into three key directions: (1) Boundary Adaptive, (2) Interaction with Existing Elements, (3) Flexible Road Network. These directions are implemented through a combination of hard constraints and soft constraints. The resulting layout model, incorporating these algorithms, is user-configurable to meet specific project requirements. To validate the effectiveness of this approach, we applied the algorithms in a campus planning project. The results demonstrate remarkable efficiency and precision in generating layouts that include plots and design elements. These findings affirm the robust applicability of our algorithms for creating urban-scale site layouts.
