title	Real and Virtual Spaces Generated By Music
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 1 - no. 3
summary	The main objective of this research work is to explore a new digital design process. This new method for the creation of spaces (referred to as Data Representation Architecture) entails the choice of any element from the everyday world, and the creation, by means of a digital a process, of either a real or a virtual space. In this particular case, the real element is music. Various melodies, some of them famous and some of them new or specially composed for the project, materialize their basic information and generate novel spaces. For each musical composition, many instruments were played, and the sound of each of them was then materialized in the final space. This is how alternative design processes are born, and a completely new architecture defined. In order to accomplish this research work, it was necessary to combine knowledge from different fields; namely, architecture, music, mathematics and computer science.

title	ESPACIOS REALES Y VIRTUALES GENERADOS POR MUSICA (Real and Virtual Spaces Generated by Music)
source	SIGraDi biobio2001 - [Proceedings of the 5th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics / ISBN 956-7813-12-4] Concepcion (Chile) 21-23 november 2001, pp. 151-152
summary	This research work has as its main aim exploring a new digital designing process. This new way of creating spaces, known as ‘Architecture of data’ entails choosing any event of the everyday world, and through a process, generating either a real or virtual space. In this particular case, the chosen event is the music. Several melodies, some of them famous, others especially composed for this project, come to existence as original spaces. For each composition, many musical instruments are played, each of which is part of the final space. In doing so, new alternative designing processes emerge. This processes build non conventional spaces that might outline a whole new architecture. Different fields of knowledge, namely architecture, music, maths and computing sciences had to be brought together in order to achieve the present work.

title	VAXstation : A General-Purpose Raster Graphics Architecture
source	ACM Transactions on Graphics. January, 1984. vol. 3: pp. 70-83 : ill. includes bibliography
summary	A raster graphics architecture and a raster graphics device are described. The graphics architecture is an extension of the RasterOp model and supports operations for rectangle movement, text writing, curve drawing, flood, and fill. The architecture is intended for implementation by both closely and loosely coupled display subsystems. The first implementation of the architecture is a remote raster display connected by fiber optics to a VAX minicomputer. The device contains a separate microprocessor, frame buffer, and additional local memory: it is capable of executing raster commands on operands in local memory or VAX host memory

summary	Research pavilions can serve as architectural scale demonstrations for the materialization of experimental forms and structures. Pavilions seek to prove and change methods of design and construction mechanisms in order to achieve desires such as material efficiency, novel spatial qualities and performative needs. The case of the ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2013-14 highlights the use of fiber composites in order to achieve a core-less filament winding modular system from bio-inspired lightweight structures through robotic fabrication. This paper describes the multi-disciplinary design and construction process of this pavilion that created a structure of out 36 unique components.

title	Medial Representations for driving the Architectural Creative Process
source	International Architecture Symposium, Barcelona, April 2008
summary	Medial representations of shape provide a powerful framework for the analysis and genesis of architectural forms,layouts, landscapes, cityscapes. In this paper we explore their potential use in driving the architectural creative process for 2D and 3D applications. We consider both the aspects of (i) the analysis of exisiting architectural layouts, and (ii) the genesis of novel ones. The archetypal medial representation of shape is the “medial axis” of Harry Blum (circa 1960). Boundary elements, the outline samples of the objects of interest, are used as the source of a wavefront propagation, for which the quenching points constitute axial symmetries. In 2D layout applications the resulting medial axis (MA) takes the form of a graph which unites geometry and topology of the objects and the field they occupy in one single framework. In the following we first survey the topic of shape representation via medial structures and consider their specific use in architectural analysis and genesis. We then report of early works in extending such ideas for novel applications relevant to architecture.

title	ATELIÊ COOPERATIVO DE SIMULAÇÃO DIGITAL EM ARQUITETURA E URBANISMO (Colaborative Studio for Architecture and Urbanism Digital Simulation)
source	SIGraDi biobio2001 - [Proceedings of the 5th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics / ISBN 956-7813-12-4] Concepcion (Chile) 21-23 november 2001, pp. 124-126
summary	Cooperative Atelier of Digital Simulation is a teaching proposal in that information technologies will be used intensively in the process of architectural design, particularly computer technologies for habitat simulation. In the first learning group, a experimental one - that should begin in the semester 2001.2, the computer will be used as an instrument for modeling, information management (spatial or not), making presentations, evaluation of alternatives and taking decisions, as well as for communication between the students’ teams and teachers of FAUFBA and, of other institutions that come to be integrating the project. The computer technologies could stand for the development of cooperative works. This paper synthesizes the proposal of creation of an optional discipline for students of Architecture and Urbanism.

title	Connected Augmented Assembly - Cloud based Augmented Reality applications in architecture
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.1.179
source	Werner, L and Koering, D (eds.), Anthropologic: Architecture and Fabrication in the cognitive age - Proceedings of the 38th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, TU Berlin, Berlin, Germany, 16-18 September 2020, pp. 179-186
summary	Current design practices rely on a set of computational tools to simulate and optimize the design in regards to questions concerning architecture, engineering, and construction. However, little progress has been made in tools related to the design and execution of a building assembly. This paper aims to present an integrated procedure that targets the assembly of complex structures. Two challenges are identified and addressed: first, the necessity of a connected design environment where multiple stakeholders can communicate, modify, and give feedback on the assembly sequence. Second, the instructions for the assembly of structures to untrained users. The suggested method is based on the Assembly Information Modeling framework, which provides a general approach to generate assembly information from CAD data and utilizes AEC cloud platforms as a base for communication and Augmented Reality devices as a Human Machine Interface. Ultimately, both cases are combined to constitute Connected Augmented Assembly, a bidirectional approach to assembly design, review, and execution.

summary	The paper explores the analogies between Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Feng-Shui by undertaking an analysis of natural ventilation in Jiangmen city, Southern China. Feng-Shui has been used to inform the orientation, layout, and design of buildings in China for thousands of years. The research questions if these concepts are still valid for contemporary building design. Noting that computational simulation methods such as CFD allow architects to analyse the natural ventilation of buildings, this paper provides a novel study that examines if Feng-Shui principles can be reconciled against contemporary design processes. The research simulates 'community', 'block', and 'single courtyard' via CFD study to confirm the scientifically measurable concepts of Feng-Shui have concerning natural ventilation. We conclude that Feng-Shui concepts enhance natural ventilation and subsequently makes a positive contribution to sustainable building and design.

title	Virtual Simulation of New Residential Buildings in Lingnan Using Vernacular Wisdom
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.1.269
source	Werner, L and Koering, D (eds.), Anthropologic: Architecture and Fabrication in the cognitive age - Proceedings of the 38th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, TU Berlin, Berlin, Germany, 16-18 September 2020, pp. 269-278
summary	Every new idea has some sort of precedent or echoes from the past. It is the same for the new residential buildings in Lingnan, China. In Lingnan, the vernacular knowledge of building design has been established over thousands of years. Whether it is suitable for use today should be verified. In this research, virtual simulations are employed to arrive at an overall conclusion. Virtual simulations based on PHOENICS, ENVI_MET, CadnaA, and Ecotect software were separately used for analysing the case of new residential buildings located in Lingnan. The study analysed the wind, thermal, acoustic, and light environments, which are four aspects of these new residential buildings. According to the results of our research, the paper discussed ways to amend and improve the new residential buildings that sit within the overall spirit of the vernacular knowledge of Lingnan; thus, it helps to put the traditional knowledge into the current context. The vernacular knowledge from XS to XL scale contexts, such as Feng-shui, was verified as being suitable for use in Lingnan today.

title	Design concept as a model for modelling design process and its knowledge
source	The Int. Journal of Construction IT 6(2), pp. 87-103
summary	The strategy of decomposing a design problem into subproblems is commonly used in engineering design. One difficulty in applying this strategy to computer-based design systems is the assembly of subproblem solutions to construct a whole solution. Despite its advantages, this design strategy suffers two major problems. First, as constraints are ill defined and implicitly exist among design objects, it is very difficult to articulate and represent design constraints in computable forms. Second, as design subproblems are designated separately in computer-based design systems, the inherent relationships among subproblems are not considered in contriving these subproblems. As a result, recomposing subproblem solutions is hard to do. This paper presents a model for modelling design processes and the knowledge involved. The model is called ‘design concept’, which represents empirical interconnections of design attributes and intraconnections of design subproblems. Topological relations are represented using decomposition trees. The advantages and disadvantages of integratively using decomposition trees and design concepts in facilitating conceptual design are discussed
