title	Computational Implementation of a Tool for Generative Design of High-rise Residential Building Facades
source	Ji-Hyun Lee (Eds.) "Hello, Culture!" [18th International Conference, CAAD Futures 2019, Proceedings / ISBN 978-89-89453-05-5] Daejeon, Korea, pp. 301-316
summary	We propose a computational design tool that aims to provide more variety to the design of high-rise residential building facades. In contemporary cities, the pressure to build many high-rise residential buildings leaves little time to focus on facade design, resulting in repetitive facades that impart a monotonous appearance to cities. We propose a computational tool that can help to improve facade variety, based on shape grammars and parametric modeling. Shape grammars are used to analyze facade composition and to structure design knowledge. Subsequently, the grammars are converted into parametric models, which are implemented using the Python programming language that can be used to generate designs in CAD software. The resulting tool encodes a general parametric model that manipulates the rules of formal composition of building facades. Without limitations from software, the program takes advantage of the high-processing power of the computer to provide many design solutions from which architects can choose.

summary	The extensive application of Python script provides a new opportunity for the research on spatial distribution of mass sports facilities. The traditional way to obtain geography information of POI is by the crawler of API open platform, which needs accurate search content. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain the geography information of the mass sports facilities, which do not have specific category name. The paper took Harbin City in China as an example, combined the social network address text crawler and map websites crawler, accurately obtained the geographic information of mass sports facilities, and used ArcGIS to realize the visualization of the spatial distribution information. Combined with the information of Harbin population distribution, the paper evaluated the quantity spatial distribution and type spatial distribution of mass sports facilities by Lorentz curve and Global Moran's I, aiming to evaluate the health service performance of existing mass sports facilities and provide reference for the design and planning of sports facilities. The paper draws the conclusion that the distribution of mass sports buildings in Harbin is relatively average with the population distribution and the clustering of sports function types of mass sports buildings is obvious.

summary	In this paper, we introduce a design-to-fabrication workflow to create topology optimised concrete components by clay printing a temporary mould and simultaneously casting concrete into it. Our fabrication approach addresses the United Nation's Sustainability Development Goal (SDG) 12 of reducing waste in construction by employing the phase changing properties of clay, allowing this natural resource to be broken down and reused for subsequent projects. We implemented our workflow in the design and fabrication of a resilient infrastructure that responds to SDG 9 - an urban furniture that braces large trees during high-speed typhoon winds and serving as a bench for locals to rest under the tree. This paper documents our workflow with considerations of its overall workability, material properties and fabrication efficiency. We showcase our final prototype and discuss the feasibility and challenges of this approach in fabricating complex freeform components on a large scale.

title	Impact of the Training Set Consistency on Architectural Plan Generation Effect Based on Pix2pixHD Algorithm
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2024.1.459
source	Kontovourkis, O, Phocas, MC and Wurzer, G (eds.), Data-Driven Intelligence - Proceedings of the 42nd Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2024), Nicosia, 11-13 September 2024, Volume 1, pp. 459–468
summary	In research on machine learning-assisted architectural plan generation, the sample composition of the training set is one of the most important factors influencing the model's performance and outcomes. In most previous research, architectural plans in the training set exhibited a lack of consistency in design principles, which hindered generation effectiveness. In this study, we have developed an 'architecture-like plan' dataset that adheres to a set of unified principles. We carried out a training-testing experiment based on the pix2pixHD algorithm with architecture-like plans and quantitatively evaluated the similarity between the predictions and ground truths by the pixelmatch algorithm. The similarity was high, up to 92.26%, and the predictions were high quality, suggesting that the algorithm has learned the design principle. The result significantly outperforms similar studies, suggesting that the training set consistency positively affects the generation effect. Next, we validate this on the open-source residential plan dataset (RPLAN) through another training-testing experiment. We filtered a subset with uniform criteria, containing design principles and label accuracy, as the experimental group, and the original unfiltered dataset as the control group. The results showed that the similarity of the experimental group achieved 72.03%, compared to the control group's (55.13%), and the experimental group's predictions were significantly superior to those of the control group. Both experiments show that the higher the training set consistency, the more likely it is to obtain a generative model with excellent results, and that the training set consistency significantly affects the generation of architectural plans.

source	Kepczynska-Walczak, A, Bialkowski, S (eds.), Computing for a better tomorrow - Proceedings of the 36th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, Lodz University of Technology, Lodz, Poland, 19-21 September 2018, pp. 577-584
summary	There is a typical symbiotic relationship between behavior and space. Design and evaluation of space are also inseparable from people's behavioral needs. Therefore, the study of behavior patterns can be regarded as the process of exploring the relationship between human and space. Traditional behavioral research lacks precise micro-individual data and analytical tools to express complex environments, and is more inclined to macro and qualitative static analysis. With the maturity of indoor positioning technology, the use of big data as a medium to quantitatively study the laws of behavior has gradually penetrated into the micro-level of indoor space. This paper begins with a brief introduction of the behavioral performance research process in history. The paper then describes the method that constructs the observation, quantification and visualization process of behavior data by using UWB positioning technology and visualization implementation system through an on-site experiment of office space. The last part of this paper discusses the establishment of spatial redesign method by mining the behavior data, and translating the results into spatial attributes.

title	Robotic Carving Craft, Research on the Application of Robotic Carving Technology in the Inheritance of Tradition-Al Carving Craft
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.1.747
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. 747-756
summary	In order to realize the inheritance of handicraft skills via digital fabrication technique, so as to preserve the traditional construction culture, this paper discusses a method of control industrial robot (six-axis KUKA kr-60 robotic arm) simulate carving craftsmen working process and explores the relationship between carving posture and different clay states. This paper starts with discussion with cultural heritage in the background of digital tools application. Next, a method to determine the pose of robotic arm by giving the angle value of the six axis is applied in the subsequent carving experimental research, which can make the robotic arm have a smoother and reasonable motion performance by disable the redundant axis movement of the robotic arm when adjusting those poses. Then, a series of carving experiments has been carried out to explore the connection between robotic movement and carved detail, together with a carving path arrangement method that allow for specific carved lines caused by given axis value. This research shows the possibility to create complex form through defining robot movement, which could fundamentally make robot manufacturing a new formal meaning.

title	Perceptual Materialization for Space Interface: Exploring the Interactive Generation Design Method and Application of Space Interface via EEG Reveled Visual-Perception
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.3.479

summary	The primary objective of this research is to elucidate how individuals are immersed in the spatial visual ambiance, leading to the elicitation of perceptual emotions and the establishment of a feedback mechanism between visual-perception and generative design, which serves as the critical intermediary linking human behavior and spatial geometry. To achieve this goal, Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have been chosen as the preferred modality. By establishing the integrated EEG device system and real-time interactive visual perception platform, this research explores an interactive design methodology for space interface design, drawing insights from visual perception as revealed through EEG data. Next, the method of integrating hardware and software to establish a visual human-computer interaction platform is explored in detail, and the data characteristics of joint nodes are analyzed. Furthermore, the spatial interface was selected as the object for EEG interaction generation, applying Voronoi planar pattern controlled by noise functions for complex interface geometry generation and attempting to convert data from 2D pixels to 3D solid mesh models. This research demonstrates significant potential for further exploration and development within creating more personalized interactive spatial experience.

title	Hierarchical Design Synthesis : The M1 System
source	Pittsburgh: Engineering Design Research Center, September, 1989. 22 p. : ill. tables. includes bibliography
summary	Rapid advances in semiconductor technology are motivating the development of computer-aided design tools to assist human designers at the higher levels of the design process. In particular, there is a need for tools that aid system-level design synthesis - the process of producing a detailed artifact satisfying high level specifications given a set of components. A knowledge-based approach that uses a hierarchical design synthesis methodology is described. M1 is a knowledge-based system that implements the approach for the domain of single board computer design. A set of experiments which indicate M1's capabilities and the effectiveness of the approach in organizing and utilizing knowledge are presented

title	An EMIC approach to design: Methodology for creating supportive environments for young children
source	Timmermans, Harry (Ed.), Third Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning - Part two: Urban Planning Proceedings (Spa, Belgium), August 18-21, 1996
summary	The responsibility of the designer is to understand the unique perspective of the users, in order to create functional and efficient environments. The task of creating supportive environments often becomes more difficult when there is discrepancy between the perspective of the designer and that of the user, which is the case when designing spaces for children. The interaction of children with their environment has been identified as the basis of their development Most of the previous research has focused on the perspectives that adults have of spaces for children (etic), rather than an understanding of the child's view as the primary user of the playspace (emic). Children's perceptions are influenced by their physical and cognitive perspectives thus posing a unique challenge for designers. The objective of this study was to learn about the perception and perspective of four-and five-year-olds of their favorite playspaces. The children needed to identify their favorite spaces and also be able to verbalize the activities and meanings associated with these spaces. To avoid adult bias at the onset, the idea of utilizing a Polaroid Captiva camera was formulated, facilitating an extremely short latency period between the child taking the pictures and the opportunity to talk about their favorite playspace. The process was extremely successful, and provides first hand insight into children's perception of their built environment Photographs taken by the young children include many spaces not designed for play. The emerging themes are a source of invaluable information for designers and planners for making informed design decisions and for creating supportive environments.

summary	Rooted in a hybrid material and climate-based approach to design, this study proposes a computational design framework for low-tech rammed earth adaptable formwork that allows for variable surface figuration, related to thermal and aesthetic design parameters. Built as vertical panel prototypes, as in-situ vertical construction, this study proposes to couple thermal performance with sequenced constructability of varied surface geometries through an adaptable repetitive kit-of-parts formwork that can be constructed with limited advanced manufacturing capabilities.

summary	In the built environment, the typical means of achieving responsive changes in the physical features of a structure is through energy-intensive actuation mechanisms that contradict the intended goal of energy-efficient performance. Nature offers several alternative energy-free examples of achieving large-scale shape change through passive actuation mechanisms, such as the intrinsic response of water-absorbing (hygroscopic) materials to humidity fluctuations. We utilize this principle of passive actuation in the context of chitosan biopolymer, a material demonstrating a combination of mechanical strength and hygroscopic potential that enables it to serve for both load-bearing and actuation purposes. By inserting biocomposite films of chitosan as dynamic tensile members into a space truss, a structural system is constructed whose variable structural performance is manipulated and expressed as a large-scale, programmable, and fast-acting shape change. We present a method for rationalizing this responsive structural system as an assembly using a combination of materials engineering and digital design and fabrication. As a proof-of-concept, a two-meter-long fiber-reinforced cantilevering truss prototype was designed and fabricated. The truss transforms in minutes from one shape that shelters the interior from rain to another shape that acts as an air foil to increase ventilation.

title	Refining the Computational Method for the Evaluation of Visual Complexity in Architectural Images: Significant Lines in the Early Architecture of Le Corbusier
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2009.689
source	Computation: The New Realm of Architectural Design [27th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-0-9541183-8-9] Istanbul (Turkey) 16-19 September 2009, pp. 689-696
summary	Past research over the last two decades has demonstrated that fractal analytical methods can be used to evaluate the visual complexity of architectural designs. Applying a computer program that has been developed specifically for the quantitative evaluation of architecture, the authors previously tested the fractal analysis method on several well-known architects’ works including those of Le Corbusier. However, while undertaking this research the computational method revealed unexpected results for the visual complexity of Le Corbusier’s early, highly ornamented, house designs. This paper examines these anomalous results and the proposition that they are a by-product of the data chosen for analysis. The fractal method relies on architectural drawings as raw “data” but little research has been undertaken into which elements should be chosen to represent the buildings or alternatively, which lines are “significant”. The present paper uses the results for ten of Le Corbusier’s house designs to examine the sensitivity of the method.

summary	The increment of the average life expectancy and the birth rate reduction in developed countries generates invariably a massive global population ageing. Assuming that residential houses are adaptable for elder citizen requirements, it will be important to provide the quality of life and social support for this fringe of population, maintenance of its use and avoiding abrupt space changes for nursing houses, for example. Our research, using a Shape Grammar from the portuguese housing legislation and mobility principles, proposes a generative tool that will allow to (re)design residential houses. Our goal is to provide designers an intuitive document that explains in a systematic way to enable architects to address norms in an intuitive way. the application of norms according to Portuguese housing legislation and referring to social equipment and technical rules related to accessibilities

summary	During the 21st century, the figure of the elderly is increasingly central in society. It is important to promote the relationship between generations to support active and more balanced aging in the city center, without age segregation (like specific geriatric equipment), thus allowing a natural human renewal of cities, without the expulsion of younger generations to the suburbs, and the institutionalization of older people. This article will focus on some integrative experimental models of universal design combining Portuguese legislation on Residential Structures for the Elderly, Assisted Living and the Housing Law based on trends revealed by Social Support Satisfaction and Quality of Life surveys WHOQOL- BREF – WHO to this group, generating architectural design solutions through the Grammar of Form that integrate that legislation, in order to transform the paradigm of inclusive design and Housing in Portugal, into an increasingly tangible and accessible reality for everyone.
