summary	Machine learning enables computers to learn without being explicitly programmed. This paper outlines state-of-the-art implementations of machine learning approaches to the study of physical material properties based on Elastomer we developed, which combines with robotic automation and image recognition to generate a computable material model for non-uniform linear Elastomer material. The development of the neural network includes a few preliminary experiments to confirm the feasibility and the influential parameters used to define the final RNN neural network, the study of the inputs and the quality of the testing samples influencing the accuracy of the output model, and the evaluation of the generated material model as well as the method itself. To conclude, this paper expands such methods to the possible architectural implications on other non-uniform materials, such as the performance of wood sheets with different grains and tensile material made from composite materials.

summary	In the following research, a systematic approach is developed to generate an experiment-based performance model that computes and customizes properties of non-uniform linear materials to accommodate the form of designated curve under bending and natural force. In this case, the test subject is an elastomer strip of non-uniform sections. A novel solution is provided to obtain sufficient training data required for deep learning with an automatic material testing mechanism combining robotic arm automation and image recognition. The collected training data are fed into a deep combination of neural networks to generate a material performance model. Unlike most traditional performance models that are only able to simulate the final form from the properties and initial conditions of the given materials, the trained neural network offers a two-way performance model that is also able to compute appropriate material properties of non-uniform materials from target curves. This network achieves complex forms with minimal and effective programmed materials with complicated nonlinear properties and behaving under natural forces.

title	Deep generative modeling tasks: Automatic generation of building facades with Pix2Pix GAN for Hong Kong city expansion and renovation
source	García Amen, F, Goni Fitipaldo, A L and Armagno Gentile, Á (eds.), Accelerated Landscapes - Proceedings of the XXVII International Conference of the Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi 2023), Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay, 29 November - 1 December 2023, pp. 137–148
summary	Hong Kong's rapid urbanization and expansion have resulted in a high incidence of new urban construction projects as well as building renovation and restoration activities. The above architectural activities in the city are characterized by inconsistency in design styles and inconsistency with the neighborhood environment. The proposal of a self-weakening design style of different designers in the same neighborhood should be taken as a practical consideration at the early stage of design. In this research, a dataset of old building facades in Hong Kong is provided, and the method of training a deep convolutional neural network is used to realize the coupling of Pix2Pix GAN algorithm to the whole or local design generation of building facade in Hong Kong. Moreover, a trained network based on the architectural styles of Hong Kong is provided with 160 sets of collected original image datasets of Hong Kong building facades for organizing pre-calibration. It classifies the elemental information of complex building facades for later training of the network and automatic generation to give new construction and renovation schemes a replicable technical route.

title	Research on the Exploration of Sprayed Clay Material and Modeling System

summary	As a traditional building material, clay has been used by humans for a long time. From early civilisations, to the modern dependence on new technologies, the craft of clay making is commonly linked with the use of moulds, handmade creations, ceramic extruders, etc. (Schmandt and Besserat, 1977). Clay in the form of bricks is one of the oldest building materials known (Fernandes et al, 2010). This research expands the possibilities offered by standardised bricks by testing types of clay, forms, shapes, porosity, and structural methods. The traditional way of working with clay relies on human craftsmanship and is based on the use of semi-solid clay (Fernandes et al., 2010). However, there is little research on the use of clay slurry. With the rise of 3D printing systems in recent years, research and development has been emerging on using clay as a 3D printing filament (Gürsoy, 2018). Researchers have discovered that in order for 3D-printed clay slurry to solidify quickly to support the weight of the added layers during printing, curing agents such as lime, coal ash, cement, etc. have to be added to the clay slurry. After adding these substances, clay is difficult to be reused and can have a negative effect on the environment (Chen et al., 2021). In this study, a unique method for manufacturing clay elements of intricate geometries is proposed with the help of an internal skeleton that can be continuously reused. The study introduces the process of applying clay on a special structure through spraying and showcases how this method creates various opportunities for customisation of production.

summary	Based on the parametric simulation platform and tools, the paper studied the influence of building orientation, building size and window-to-wall ratio on heating and cooling energy consumption of the typical university library in the severe cold region of China. The study established the multiple linear regression models of form design parameters and heating and cooling energy consumption respectively, determined the weight of each parameter, proposed the optimal energy-saving orientation selection and form parameter groups. The energy-saving design strategies of the typical university library in the severe cold region were put forward from the three sub-aspects of building orientation, building size and window-to-wall ratio, and from a comprehensive point of view. The study provides effective support for energy consumption estimation in the stage of building form design, and has important practical significance for sustainable development of university buildings.

summary	The increasing urbanization process has led to greater thermal stress on pedestrians, and greenery arrangement can provide an effective mitigation strategy. However, evaluating the environmental impact of different urban morphologies and greenery arrangements using traditional methods requires time-consuming simulations. To address this challenge, we utilized a deep generative model to predict outdoor environmental indicators influenced by greenery and urban morphology. By creating a dataset of Universal Thermal Climate Index, wind speed, temperature, mean radiant temperature, and relative humidity from Envi-met simulations of three building morphologies with randomly distributed greenery arrangements, we found that Building Shadow Exposure (BSE) and Frontal Area Index, as well as BSE and Porosity, had strong interactions. Our study demonstrates that a pix2pix model trained on this dataset can accurately predict the outdoor environment in seconds (R2 > 0.80), making it a promising tool for sustainable urban planning. Thus, our research suggests that deep generative models can accelerate simulation processes and enable more comprehensive studies to support sustainable urban planning in the future.

summary	In this paper, we try to investigate architectural site survey process by conducting experiment and quantitative analysis. 17 student volunteers were asked to practice site survey for a fixed design objective. With site survey process recorded along with sketching and utterance, we adopt protocol analysis and FBS ontology, which are widely used and discussed in design process research, as the basis of our analysis. Since site survey is a preliminary stage of architectural design, it differs from actual design process in many aspects. In this case, we extended the original FBS framework by adding two extra activities- Objective Processor and Subjective Processor- to better describe site survey process.

title	The Application of Daylighting Software for Case-study Design in Buildings

summary	The application of different software, whether simple or complex, can each play a significant role in the design and decision-making on daylighting for a building. This paper, discusses the task to be accomplished, in real case studies, and how various lighting software programs are used to achieve the desired information. The message iterated throughout the paper is one that respects, and even suggests, the use of even the simplest software, that can guide and inform design decisions in daylighting. Daylighting can be complex since the position of the sun varies throughout the day and year as well as do the sky conditions for a particular location. Just because we now have the computing capacity to model every single minute of a day throughout a year, doesn't justify its task. Several projects; an architecture studio, a university office building, a school library and a gymnasium all present different tasks to be achieved. The daylighting problems, the objects and the software application and their outcomes are presented in this paper. Over a decade of projects has led to reflecting upon the importance of computing in daylighting, its staged approach and the result that it can achieve if properly applied.

title	VRML History: Storing And Browsing Temporal 3DWorlds
source	Proceedings of the fourth symposium on the virtual reality modeling language, ACM Press, pp. 153-160
summary	Spatio-temporal data are presented and explored by VR-based visualization systems which offer 3D-navigation and time-navigation for better immersion and analysis. If the visualization results are disseminated on the WWW, they are mostly transformed into videos or, recently, into animated VRML-files which neither support 3D-navigation nor time navigation nor a time-referenced data representation. In this paper, the script language VRML History is proposed which supports the description of spatio-temporal worlds on the internet by conceptually extending VRML with a new time dimension. This is realized by a set of new nodes representing temporal geometries and time references, and a set of Java-classes extending standard VRML-browsers to perform time navigation.

summary	Architectural design benefits from a design collaboration between architect and engineers that starts early in the design process. This paper presents a proposal for a new structural language developed to support an early design collaboration between architect and structural engineer. This language expresses the essential characteristics of the conceptual design of the structural engineer, and requires a limited amount of structural engineering knowledge for the architect to comprehend. The language is evaluated in different case studies with architecture and interior architecture students: they show the students' appreciation as it is found easy to learn and use, and a helpful tool in conceptual design collaboration with a structural engineer. Although the language is developed for manual 3D sketching, the paper briefly indicates its potentials for digital 3D representations and more intelligent CAAD like Multi-Agent System (MAS).

summary	The practice panel of the RIS 2023 aimed to illuminate how the knowledge generated by a community such as eCAADe is applied in the realms of architecture, planning, and policy in the Estonian context. Touching upon different aspects of practice, the presentations highlighted three main directions towards regenerative design: facilitating participatory processes, augmenting creativity by incorporating performance simulations into the early design stages and harnessing digital technologies to manage complex problems. Besides its value as a case study of the Estonian context, the practice panel can serve as an inspiration for a more complex – and messy – understanding of performance.

source	Architecture in Computro [26th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-0-9541183-7-2] Antwerpen (Belgium) 17-20 September 2008, pp. 625-632
summary	This research explores new ways to integrate manufacturing knowledge in to design phases. Through the use of design for manufacturing (DfM) concept, and looking at relations between its potential application in component design and its implementation using digital manufacturing technologies, the author implemented a DfM model that varies from previous models by incorporated learning in the process. This process was based on the incremental development and refinement of design heuristics and metrics. The DfM model developed in this research is a process model to be implemented as a framework within educational settings. The final purpose is to provide better foundational constructs for design education and to improve teaching approaches that integrate design and manufacturing.

source	SIGraDi 2006 - [Proceedings of the 10th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Santiago de Chile - Chile 21-23 November 2006, pp. 30-37
summary	This presentation argues that the concepts of “tools” and “material”, in relation to it use in contemporary architectural design education, can be understood as “instruments” within design processes. The difference between them relies on, its design knowledge abstraction levels, and its mechanisms to capture, manipulate and produce design knowledge. In addition, an initial exploration of Distributed Cognition concept, in order to redefine the use of instruments in design process as Cognitive Instruments, is presented. Furthermore, a more comprehensive framework for design knowledge is presented, including a specific examination of design instruments an its role indesign processes. In the conclusions possible effects derived from the use of “instruments” in design processes are explored.

summary	This paper explores new ways to integrate manufacturing processes information in to design phases. Through the analysis of related fields and looking at the relations between its design methods and production processes, we analyze design processes and design representations that already have embedded in them specific ways to materialize through production the artifacts they define. Subsequently, we explore curved surface fabrication using cutting and bending technologies. As a summary, we conceptualize from this top-down development approach to design a framework that integrates design and construction in architecture, based on three possible applications fields: - Design processes improvement - Building production process improvement - CAD-CAM Tools development.

title	Autopoiesis and Digital Design Theory: CAD Systems as Cognitive Instruments
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 3 - no. 3, 317-334
summary	In contrast to traditional models of design process fundamentally defined by the abstract manipulation of objects, this study recognizes that the resources available for rethinking architecture are to be found in a reformulation of its theory and practice. This reformation should be based on non-linear design processes in which dynamic emergence and invention take the place of a linear design process fixed on a particular object evolution. Advances in computation thinking and technology have stimulated the design and formulation of a large number of design software. Its elaboration supposes a new conceptualization of our discipline's knowledge, in a body of principles and regulations, which commands the artifact's design and its realization; therefore, it constitutes a preliminary datum for its comprehension, and thereby is of theoretical importance. Despite the continuous increment of power in computers and software capacities, the creative space of freedom defined by them acting as cognitive instruments remains almost unexplored. Therefore, we propose a change from a design knowledge based on objects to one focused on design as a network of processes. In addition, this study explores the concept of Distributed Cognition in order to redefine the use of digital tools in design process as Cognitive Instruments.

title	Component Based Design and Digital Manufacturing - A DfM Model for Curved Surfaces Fabrication using Three Axis CNC Router

source	Communicating Space(s) [24th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-5-9] Volos (Greece) 6-9 September 2006, pp. 342-350
summary	Through the use of design for manufacturing (DfM) method and looking at the relations between its potential application in architectural production and its implementation using digital manufacturing technologies, we analyze building construction processes and explore, in more detail curved surface fabrication using two dimensional cutting and three dimensional milling processes. Afterwards a DfM model for curved surfaces fabrication using three-axis computer numerical control (CNC) router is proposed. The proposed DfM model relies fundamentally in two supporting factors; the implementation of design heuristics that integrates production knowledge and the availability of some design related to production evaluation metrics. Subsequently, we test and refine the model using structured design experiences. This was accomplished by capturing new design heuristics and detecting useful evaluation metrics for production. In the final part of the research, a refined DfM model was tested in a component design case study. The case study is based on producing a curved surface module on wood for an existing proprietary component based wall system. As a summary, we conceptualize from this top-down development approach to create a design for manufacturing model that integrates design and construction in architecture, based on three possible applications fields: Design processes improvement, building production process improvement, CAD-CAM tools development. Our purpose is to provide better foundational constructs and approaches for integrating design with manufacturing in architecture.

source	SIGraDi 2010_Proceedings of the 14th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, pp. Bogotá, Colombia, November 17-19, 2010, pp. 129-132
summary	Several building works have demonstrated the possibilities of architectural design based on structural performance. This work discusses some examples and digital design strategies that approach this issue, as well as an exercise for a tower generated through topological optimization. That experience presents alternatives for a traditional office tower in Santiago, Chile, the Torre Santa Maria, based on generative design strategies for the incorporation of structural and environmental requirements to define parametric models. The experience and the capabilities studied reveal an intensive variation of architectural shape. This approach challenges conventional building regularity and suggests new ways of designing based on material performance.
