summary	The employment of digital tools in architecture is based on a new approach to design that acknowledges the value of research and feedback from the environment. Abstractions are a means of minimising the complexity of information that surrounds a designed object. They are seen as focused interest on certain aspects of a field that are exaggerated on the cost of others. The use of abstractions and diagrammatic representations is discussed within the context of a computerised design studio.

title	Operating within Fragile Environments: Operating within Fragile Environments
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2011.768

summary	As the architectural community becomes more and more “aware” of the ecological problems that our environment faces, digital tools gain a prominent position in the attempts to inform the design process with environmental sensibilities. However digital tools could provide more than the means to evaluate the energy efficiency of a design. The paper discusses the possible ‘digital-to-analogue’ design methodologies that are developed through the use of advanced computational techniques, alongside with material explorations, through example-projects designed and constructed by the students of the School of Architecture of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki during an intensive, one week workshop.

title	Adaptive [skins]: Responsive building skin systems based on tensegrity principles
source	FUTURE TRADITIONS [1st eCAADe Regional International Workshop Proceedings / ISBN 978-989-8527-03-5], University of Porto, Faculty of Architecture (Portugal), 4-5 April 2013, pp. 155-170
summary	The project investigates responsive building skin systems that adapt to the dynamic environmental conditions to regulate the internal conditions in a habitable space over different periods of time by exhibiting a state of motion and dynamism. Heat and Light are the primary parameters for regulation, leading to energy efficiency and dynamic spatial effects. Passive and active skins using shape memory alloys and pneumatic actuators are developed through investigations of smart systems that integrate smart materials and smart geometries. The precedents in this domain have rarely dealt with individually controlled multiple parameters of heat and light in a single system, which is attempted in this project. Owing to the complexity of the multi-parametric system, genetic algorithms are developed for system optimization and calibrated with physical prototypes at varied scales. The developed systems are tested against two distinct climatic models- New Delhi and Barcelona, and evaluated for performance, based on heat and light, which are quantified as solar gain and illuminance as principles, and daylight factor for evaluation purpose. The use of genetic algorithms makes the problem solving faster and accurate. New tool-sets are developed in the process by combining various digital tools, to create a real-time feedback and memory loop system.

title	Mediating Objects in Architectural Design: a Non-Visual Exploration
source	Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures 2011 [Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures / ISBN 9782874561429] Liege (Belgium) 4-8 July 2011, pp. 721-734.
summary	Through their daily interactions with the built environment, people with disabilities become able to appreciate spatial qualities or detect obstacles that architects may not be attuned to. This observation motivated us to explore scenarios for involving people with sensory disabilities as experts in the design process. An architecture office participating in a real-world design competition is teamed up with two blind persons. The design process is studied in real time through a team ethnography. The analysis in this paper focuses on the mediating aspects of objects in the actions, perception and cognition in one collaborative design meeting in particular. In general, disability situations can teach us something about fixed ways of doing by making perceivable, or questioning practices that seem self-evident. In this particular situation, the blind person’s involvement in a design meeting that relies heavily on representational artifacts, makes perceivable or questions everyday practices in architects’ design process that are taken for granted. Examples include knowing and indicating to others where design elements are on the site, knowing what design element is being talked about, holding the element and its environment ‘in place’, or spatially exploring the design’s spatial configuration. As such, our study shows that exploring inclusivity ‘upstream’, i.e. in the design process, may contribute not only to inclusive design, but also to a more articulate understanding of the working of mediating objects and their use in architects’ design processes tout court.

summary	In his work ‘Cybernetics’, mathematician Norbert Wiener (1941) pointed to the interdisciplinary areas between the sciences as a promising field for research; embracing this notion of ‘synthesis’ fifty years later, the research discussed here uses the cornice, a typical element of Classical Architecture as the role-model for a series of experiments with light and shadow in nurbs software. This process encourages the development of digital design methodologies that go beyond current stylistic boundaries and hopes to set a possible threshold towards future design-based exploration.

source	Architecture in Computro [26th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-0-9541183-7-2] Antwerpen (Belgium) 17-20 September 2008, pp. 701-708
summary	In view of a possible a-historical development of an architecture that is solely reliant on technology, this paper attempts to address the need for a set of working rules for digital processes which are at once flexible and controlled. As examples, we have re-considered Classicism within the current temporal context and in relation to available technologies and methods, by looking at how the Classical system was appropriated by theorists and architects like Claude Perrault and Antoni Gaudi.

summary	The Digital and Modernist values are arguably different from each other, yet exhibit similarities that sometimes have been neglected; these can be discussed at three different levels: a. Social impact (new paradigms reacting to the norm) / b. Character (emergence from a functionalist premise; tectonic treatment) / c. Historical connections (implicit associations with the Renaissance and Baroque; internal historical stratifications)

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2011.380

summary	The increasing use of digital tools within the architectural curriculum dictates a necessity for critically approaching technology beyond its perception as a ‘tool’, towards the creation of a ‘method’. This paper proposes the use of discrete components, such as biology, computation and fabrication to build theoretical frameworks which inform design ‘experiments’ inviting the participation of the end-user through incorporation of kinetic devices. This is discussed with reference to a recently designed course, making an attempt to assess its strengths and potential as they relate to integration.

summary	This paper offers an assessment of two methods for design, one based on intuitive design skills, the other on design decision based on feedback from analysis. The author is interested in the students’ perception of the process requirements within two different rule-based systems. The project, given within a class on biologically inspired design, demands a design solution that operates on two layers: the first being “function” the second “aesthetics”: students were asked to resolve a column, while designing for “Elegance”. Their work focused on an elegant building component without compromising structural efficiency. The results are discussed as indicators of possibly integrating analysis tools in creative processes and also understanding different learning paradigms for students.

summary	In this paper, we consider participatory design as aiming for full cooperation of all actors involved in collaborative design processes. This type of co-design needs efficient tools to support the complex interactions on many levels. The paper describes our AnnotAgents which is a method and a library of tools which we are currently developing to support these complex cooperation processes.

title	Visual support for interpretation of spatial complexities in urban environments

summary	The paper presents the second phase of our research efforts to further develop a model for interpretation of spatial complexities in urban environments (IMUSC – Interpretation Model of Urban Spatial Coherence). The model’s central structure is a result of our former research work being now further upgraded with the visual component and followed by the initial idea to extend it in terms of the pragmatic instrument and educational tool for the general public, participating in the process of urban decision-making. The paper concisely summarizes both theoretical and empirical phase of our research efforts; we explain the methodology used to gain novel knowledge regarding the abilities of the general public to decode professional visual messages. Further proposals are set by embedding the acquired empirical knowledge in the model structure as well as promote it in terms of a digital educational tool.

summary	The paper presents our efforts to establish a model for urban space interpretation (IMUSC – Interpretation Model of Urban Spatial Coherence), intended as a pragmatic instrument for recognizing elements and phenomena that affect actual use of urban spaces. The initial premise proposes the mechanism for traceable linkage between the basic, mostly visible elements and features in the urban space, and three qualities concerning actual use: (a) access to the space, (b) movement within and through the space and (c) permitted/ tolerated and stimulated sojourning of the users in the space. The model aims to assist with bridging the communicational gap between expert and lay public occurring in the formal or informal process of spatial co-deciding, by increasing comprehension of spatial complexities and hence developing common priorities concerning spatial values.

summary	The architectural documentation is a means of perpetuating the memory for future generations, traditional techniques applied in most studies conducted in Brazil, using direct measurements on the monument. The Photogrammetry, like lifting technique, allows metric and morphological recovery of an object without direct contact with it, and as a product of 2D - orthophotos. The focus of this work is the automatic vectorization of orthophotos, presenting experiments done with software for automatic feature extraction from orthophotos, aiming to test tools and procedures that can speed up the process for generating drawings refund.

summary	This paper discusses ergonomic human body support in regard to people reading and talking on public benches. An applied experiment has been developed where design parameters are structured and associated to anthropometric dimensions relating to observed ergonomic postures. These are incorporated to a procedural design strategy using a geometric model with combination rules. The procedure has been tested, allowing a generation of alternative designs to emerge from ergonomic fitness parameters. The experiment helped to formulate a design methodology for optimizing the information during the product design and manufacturing processes.
