title	A resiliência na tipografia digital: Interações propiciadas por programas generativos [Resilience in digital typography: Interactions provided by generative programs]
source	SIGraDi 2017 [Proceedings of the 21th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-227-439-5] Chile, Concepción 22 - 24 November 2017, pp.568-574
summary	This article aims to describe the ephemeral qualities that typography acquires in the digital context, caused by the polyvalence of the algorithmic code, which, from generative programming, allows the user to interact with the typographic object. These reflection are realized through the study of four projects: “Lettree” (2004), “Pyrographie” (2005), “Falling in Love” (2016) and “He liked Thick Word Soup” (2014). The observations were made by drawing a comparison between the concept of “matter” in the computational scenario proposed by the design philosopher Vilém Flusser (2015) and the quality of “fluidity” observed in the images created by digital generative programs.

summary	Visually impaired people represent a large amount of the Brazilian population. However, although a wide range of existing legislation ensures accessibility, most of the Brazilian public spaces are inadequate to accommodate disabled citizens. In this context, this paper presents a digital device, which combines the smartphone technologies with Arduino microcontrollers, for orientation and obstacle detection. We tested the minimum viable product and the first vest prototype through a user-centered usability test, which combines HCI assessments to other techniques, such as semi-structured interviews. As known, these wearable devices and mobile applications are in the center of the Internet of Things discussion. This study is expected to be an alternative for the urban mobility of visually impaired people, allowing them to have a more active and independent behavior in public spaces.

title	Physicalizing Digital Design Methodology: Material-linked digital making
source	De Luca, F, Lykouras, I and Wurzer, G (eds.), Proceedings of the 9th eCAADe Regional International Symposium, TalTech, 15 - 16 June 2023, pp. 149–158
summary	Architectural design process, heir to craftsmanship traditions, formulates making as its vehicle of analysis. This curious pedigree directs high-level thought process through the restraint of material limitations; a methodology based in respect for materials whose properties and tendencies are capable of driving outcome. In this tradition of making, design as an intellectual act is dependent on engaging active, spatiomaterial media. Additionally, contemporary literature suggests physical materiality as an interface is uniquely suited to human intelligence, at once corporeal and intellectual. Therefore, if digital is understood as an extension of our intellectual thought process, its evolution should intertwine with the physical. This paper reports on research examining the role of physicality as a component of digital design method. The research constructs hybrid models and physicalizations, physical makings parametrically linked to inform digital design; thereby testing the integration of physical and digital as a material-based digital making methodology. The proposed next digital turn is a return to materiality as conduit transporting the full range of human intelligence (sensorial, intuitive, and intellectual) within digital making. Key to this methodology is designing with live, spatiomaterial media capable of reacting and providing feedback during making. The supposition contained turning towards physical-digital integrated methodology is that the wicked problems we face are best served by a design methodology accessing the full arsenal of our intelligence with media that is connected to the same multiplexity of context it seeks to remedy.

title	Case Studies of Incorporating BIM Models in the Digital Game Environment: Building Game Environment with BIM Tools and Game Scripts
source	Abdelmohsen, S, El-Khouly, T, Mallasi, Z and Bennadji, A (eds.), Architecture in the Age of Disruptive Technologies: Transformations and Challenges [9th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings ISBN 978-1-907349-20-1] Cairo (Egypt) [Virtual Conference] 2-4 March 2021, pp. 507-520
summary	The emerging video game industry has provided opportunities for innovation and transformation starting with the late 20th century. In line with ever-changing needs and increasing demand, the extent of the digital gaming industry has outreached to the education sector and its subdomains besides the entertainment industry and its sub-branches as users obtain ambidextrous achievements through the gamification processes in which an experimental learning environ-ment is formed naturally. Numerous dissimilar disciplines from en-gineering, architecture, construction, work safety, renewable ener-gy, education, and health, etc. train users thru educational simula-tions prepared in digital environments to amplify their learning processes. Undoubtedly, the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) are gradually adapting to the conditions of ac-celerating digitalization efforts in this era. Thus, BIM technology being one of the common denominators of the digitalization efforts in those fields serves the diverse agenda of the users with increas-ing popularity. Professional interaction and education may greatly benefit from conjoining the model outputs of BIM technology and interactive visual fidelity of the digital gaming industry. This ongo-ing research project aims to develop and compare two different BIM-based models of the historic Çardak Khan and the contempo-rary student center building by creating sophisticated digital game environments with architectural educational space-based informa-tive scenarios. Space-based virtual cards were created for each sce-ne. Research results in response to the diversity of spaces, geomet-ric qualities, number of scenarios and sequences were reported. Fur-thermore, textual data such as game scripts and drafts were ana-lysed with Voyant Tools.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2011.052
summary	In contrast to such structurally pure models, the power of computation has opened possibilities for at once muddying and synthesizing geometry, structure and material performance. Where the earlier twentieth century experiments employed a more or less uniform tectonic based on symmetrical structural diagrams, contemporary analysis and design techniques can efficiently adapt a material system to address variable, localized, and non-symmetrical loading conditions. This has resulted in projects characterized by non-optimized structural forms that register the impacts of geometry on material behavior with a deviated tectonic system.

title	Artificial Reality with Force-Feedback : Development of Desktop Virtual Space with Compact Master Manipulator
source	Computer Graphics. August, 1990. vol. 24: pp. 165-170 : ill. includes bibliography
summary	A new configuration of human interface for 'artificial reality' is discussed. The paper describes a method of implementing force-feedback in a virtual space manipulation system. The system is composed of two subsystems, a real time graphic display system and a tactile input device with reaction force generator. A specialized graphic computer (Stardent TITAN) provides a real time image of the virtual space. A 9 degree-of-freedom manipulator applies reaction forces to the fingers and palm of the operator. The generated forces are calculated from a solid model of the virtual space. The performance of the system is exemplified in manipulation of virtual solids objects such as a mockup for industrial design and a 3D animated character

title	Virtual Shopping Centre Models and Path Choice
source	Timmermans, Harry (Ed.), Fourth Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning Maastricht, the Netherlands), ISBN 90-6814-081-7, July 26-29, 1998
summary	A three-dimensional computer model of a shopping center was navigated by participants who were unfamiliar with it. In the first experiment, an orthogonal and equally spaced grid was used. It was found that the great majority of the itineraries made simple and similar patterns which were remembered by the participants, although they often mistook theprecise path choices. In a second experiment, the width of the corridors was varied. Participants showed a distinct preference for wider corridors over narrow ones, resulting in a significantly different distribution of itineraries when compared with the results of the first experiment. Dimensional variation did not improve the ability of the participants toremember their itineraries, however. Also, individuals preferred to continue moving straight-ahead over turning. They also preferred to circumnavigate the shopping center, traveling along the outer edges, rather than head first into its center. The computer-based model is a low-cost way of testing preference in a dynamic way and could be mounted on multiple stations in computer laboratories as a way of increasing sample size. Thereremain some interface problems, however, that diminish somewhat the sensation of moving in real time. Further work will include refinements to the model and other variations in geometry and visual stimuli in the virtual shopping center, in addition to its validation in real environments.

summary	This study, which scans an architectural space with two-wheel vehicle robot technology that allows the flexible collection of three-dimensional (3D) data, may initiate the interaction between human beings and architecture in the future. It focuses on extracting building geometry and capturing human behavior in order to allow a space to communicate with human behavior. The current project extracts building geometry and human behavior data to create designs through a two-wheel robot; it was a collaborative project among the students of different majors, including mechanical engineering, human interaction, computer sciences, and architectural design. In this paper, the adaptive possibility of the RGB-Depth camera is examined in extracting building geometry.

title	Disquiet Objects - A Simulated Pensive Domestic Environment
source	ACADIA 2022: Hybrids and Haecceities [Projects Catalog of the 42nd Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 979-8-9860805-7-4]. University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design. 27-29 October 2022. edited by M. Akbarzadeh, D. Aviv, H. Jamelle, and R. Stuart-Smith. 46-51.
summary	Disquiet Objects is an interactive, Mixed Reality (MR) immersive experience. It follows a hybrid design setup that overlays a physical environment (PE) with a virtual environment (VE) and spatial sound. The project takes place in the setting of a domestic apartment where the PE contains an assemblage of objects, overlaid with a VE that has a completely different visual materiality. It posits an enactive framework—a non-goal- oriented, virtual environment—where the user and the environment constitute the system participants, mediated by a technological artifact.

title	Wearable Personal Assistants for the Management of Historical Centers
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 7 - no. 1, 139-156
summary	One of the main tasks facing the manager of a historical centre is to avoid degradation while retaining the historical value. For this reason, any intervention which takes place on the environment, should be carefully managed. Only when performing a proper diagnosis of the environment and its reality is possible to follow a high quality intervention. The integration of new information technologies has been crucial to the improvement of these processes providing new tools. Within the project called RASMAP, we have designed and implemented a mobile augmented reality platform based on a service oriented architecture. This project introduces the concept of Wearable Personal Assistant (WPA). WPA in the RASMAP platform represents an innovative wearable tool, which provides support to professionals in their daily activities (mechanical engineer, safety responsible person, diagnosis expert, etc.). This tool is based on augmented reality technologies, mobile devices and communication infrastructures. The development of the platform for the WPAs implies addressing several technological challenges: a) to overcome the limitations inherent in the mobile devices: speed, capacity of memory, capacity of storage, graphical features and others, b) to obtain tracking systems that they do not need to alter or to adapt the environment, c) to optimize for the transmission and reproduction of multimedia contents through wireless networks on mobile devices. In this article, we describe the RASMAP platform, as a basis for the development of WPA and the extension of its use for the management of historical centres. The quality and usefulness of the scientific-technological results provided by the WPA have been validated developing a demonstrator for the diagnosis of the conservation status of the historical centre of a small town in the Basque Country. The advantages to be gained by using WPA in the proposed scenario are among others: more efficient processes, improved communication between users, and local and distributed multimedia content records.

title	Systematic Review of Organizing the Data Flow of Systems Using Building Information Modeling and Distributed Ledger Technology
source	Immanuel Koh, Dagmar Reinhardt, Mohammed Makki, Mona Khakhar, Nic Bao (eds.), HUMAN-CENTRIC - Proceedings of the 28th CAADRIA Conference, Ahmedabad, 18-24 March 2023, pp. 687–694
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2023.1.687
summary	As the digitalization in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has been rapidly progressing, building end users will require more coverage of quality data for their built environment. Despite its obvious need, it is seldom for the building information modeling (BIM) to be distributed for such broad use cases thus far. A potential reason for the situation is the lack of the public repository that can provide the adequate access control for various users. Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), including blockchain, is one of the promising resolutions for the problem. Numbers of preceding proposals for DLT-based BIM repository systems (BIM-DLT system) have proved the utility to date. Understanding the statistical facts of their configurations will become a significant assistance to determine the plausible data distribution system, and thus, to strengthen the project information life cycle. This article aims to build a representative framework through the integrated literature review (ILR). The review results showed that the system’s data flow was classified into two patterns. The judgment criteria for selecting the pattern of the system are expected to depend on the purpose of system implementation, and the purpose of automation through smart contracts is more important than the oracle problem.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.335
summary	The paper explores parametric design technology from an urban design perspective of development. One possible finalization of technique as informer of urban space subdivision is presented, with an eye on geometry and its energy efficiency implications. The recognition of urban space as a field of complex equilibria, where different claims insist on the subdivision process, helps interpret methodology from a critical stance, at least within the margins of selected studies and a partial, yet indicative experiment.

source	IJCAI03 Workshop on Computational Approaches to Style Analysis and Synthesis, S Argamon (ed), IJCAI, Acapulco, pp 1-10.
summary	This paper proposes a computational model of design that attempts to capture within a social context two important aspects of style: ‘content’ and ‘manner’. We present a characterisation of style for the artefact based on a framework that consists of information theoretic measures. We discuss the benefits the study of social networks offers a computational analysis of both aspects of style. It is our aim to bring style as ‘content’ and style as ‘manner’ together using this approach.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2006.x.w5t
summary	This project proposes a generative model for a layout of an organic settlement, in particular fishermen’s settlements. It attempts to harness and integrate some of the qualities of organic design process into computer-aided design, capture the complexities of an organic solution and apply it to the housing design decisions. The two complementary fields of Shape Grammar and Generative Evolutionary Design have been converged for this purpose. Shape Grammar is used to extract the style and aspects of organically evolved fisherman’s housing settlement. Generative Evolutionary Design which uses genetic algorithms as a search mechanism is used to explore alternatives and to evaluate the generated design for its functional and usability values and identify the fitter solutions.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2005.259
summary	Many settlements like the fishermen’s habitat have organically developed and embody the complex relation between land characteristics, functional activities and social aspirations. However, the recent rehabilitation and planning projects, constrained by technical and inscriptional rigidities, have become relatively fixed, formal and monotonous. This research attempts to harness and integrate some of the qualities of organic design process into computer aided design. The two complementary fields of Shape Grammar and Genetic algorithm have been converged for this purpose.
