title	Mental Models
source	Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press
summary	As psychological representations of real, hypothetical, or imaginary situations, mental models were first postulated by the Scottish psychologist Kenneth Craik (1943), who wrote that the mind constructs "small-scale models" of reality to anticipate events, to reason, and to underlie . The models are constructed in working memory as a result of perception, the comprehension of discourse, or imagination (see 1982; Johnson-Laird 1983). A crucial feature is that their structure corresponds to the structure of what they represent. Mental models are accordingly akin to architects' models of buildings and to chemists' models of complex molecules.

title	Integrated building simulation tool RIUSKA
source	Building Simulation, Prague, Czech Republic
summary	A new integrated simulation system for the building services design and facilities management purposes is being developed by Insinööritoimisto Olof Granlund Oy. The system covers the thermal simulation needs of the whole building life cycle from the preliminary design to renovations. The main components of the simulation system are a simulation database, user interfaces, a result module, a building geometry modeller and a calculation engine. The building geometry modeller generates a 3-D surface model of the building. The calculation engine of the first version is DOE 2.1E. The simulation database is linked to other design databases and design programs so that redundant input data is avoided.

source	Spatial Simulation and Evaluation - New Tools in Architectural and Urban Design [Proceedings of the 6th European Architectural Endoscopy Association Conference / ISBN 80-227-2088-7], pp. 116-121
summary	Research and innovation in the field of IT and communication facilities and technologies represents a new dimension, characteristic for the end of 20th and beginning of 21st century. Information technologies provide great opportunities in the process of architectural and urban design creation and spatial evaluation. They are very powerful tools for the architect, either in practice or still student, to express his thoughts, work, design. Information technologies also present strong means for communication in the process of generation of architectural and urban design. Main target in the educational activity of the Department of Computer Aided Architectural Design at the Faculty of Architecture is to train students in making the most efficient choices for software methods and technologies, which they use in their studio project works in architecture, landscape design, interior or industrial design. The aspects of teaching, research activity and own architectural practice creativity is in many way stressed.

summary	The goal of the presented research is to explore human-machine interaction and to study how Augmented Reality (AR) may be a potential tool to inform Architectural Rehabilitation and Conservation processes. Nowadays obtaining data to inform both marchitecture projects and real estate investments is a very bureaucratic process. City councils technicians suffers from the same diffi culties when are in fi eldwork to do inspections and lack a complete sort of information. This proposal considers that the use of mobile technologies as smart phones and tablets can empower these technicians to obtain building related data. The specifi c goal of the study aims to develop a data model and an interface that can be made available to professionals which allows an efficiently reply to the user’s needs as the system enables the gathering of updated information considering a particular building.

title	Exploring motion sequence of virtual characters: Experimenting motion-capture variables
source	Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Geometric Modelling and Imaging (GMAI 07), ETH Zurich, Switzerland, 4-6 July, 91-96.
summary	The purpose of the research is to study the detail of motion of various subjects with differences in physical attributes. The research outlines how different physique produces different behavioural patterns based upon mass and proportion. This research focuses on ‘walk motion’ to identify the differences in each subject’s physical attributes by sampling subjects of physical differences. This experiment employs Vicon8i® Optical Motion Capture system (MOCAP) to study the detail of human motion by extracting the subjects’ core motions for analysis with pre-defined actions. The research used the findings to establish the relationship between height and weight against motion frequencies in 3D space.

summary	The healthcare building design process involves complex decision-making, considering both normative restrictions and other essential program qualities. To address this challenge, a BIM framework is proposed, providing multi-criteria evaluations for architects at various design stages. The framework uses semantic modules to measure the BIM model and compare results with reference goals, including restrictive norms. Employing Design Science Research, existing evaluation modules were integrated. The current implementation includes normative checks, indoor environmental quality, and spatial syntax indicators analysis. The contribution lies in offering a tool that optimizes the healthcare building design process by providing visual feedback for the users, who are designers and regulatory bodies.

title	A Regionalist Approach to Generative Design Process: From Concept to BIM Model
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. 1097–1108
summary	This paper presents the implementation of two generative computational architectural design systems integrating regionalist inputs. While the automation of the design process using computational tools has been extensively discussed, the incorporation of regionalism remains limited. To address this, the Design Science Research method was employed to create computerized artifacts generating architectural models in BIM associated to Visual Programming Languages. The innovation lies in considering materiality requirements, building systems, and regional aesthetics as primary inputs for generating parametric shapes. The framework enables the generation of detailed BIM models, automatically documenting them to comply with local construction norms. This paper provides insights into the functionality of the generative algorithms, showcases the produced architectural instances, and presents the automatically generated 2D documentation. Additionally, a framework for a regionalist computational design approach is proposed. The study highlights the importance of incorporating regionalism and provides a foundation for the development of similar artifacts.

summary	The feedback-loops of the modern architectural design practice are broken, as architects rarely get to experience and learn about life in their buildings in a systematic way. Through novel survey and annotation methods, this project aims to develop tools and methodologies that assist architects in getting insights into the built environment. This paper describes the initial development of a framework for surveying and annotating occupant behaviour within architecture, called "Behavioural Situations". Using object recognition on embedded devices, it is possible to build an understanding of occupant behaviour, by coupling behavioural signifiers and their relations as nodes and edges in a graph representation.

summary	The Neighbourhood Wizard is a website that makes citizens aware of the consequences of the changes that they would like to realise in their neighbourhood. Users of the website can suggest changes to their neighbourhood. A Bayesian Belief Network is used to predict the effects of the changes on several indicators of liveability as experienced by the community. The Neighbourhood Wizard also shows what would be the optimal experience of liveability for different sections of the population.

source	CAADRIA 2006 [Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia] Kumamoto (Japan) March 30th - April 2nd 2006, 405-411
summary	This paper aims to analyze interactive multimedia and visualization techniques for architectural theory publications. Unfortunately, the available literature about multimedia, visualization, hypertext and related systems in this area is not consistent. The paper reviews the features of a research project outcome, which investigates an iconic building of the late 1930’s in Brazil. It examines the differences and similarities between a hypertext/multimedia system – a CD-ROM – with a comparable non-hypertext or non-computer product – a book – that deals with a specific subject: Architectural Theory.

summary	By collecting and evaluating client’s requirements with web technology, a methodology can be developed that can generate design options based on the client’s needs and available modular components in the market, and simulate the final design before beginning manufacturing. In this proposed model, a process of providing mass-customized prefabricated housing based on computer-aided design and a web-based product configuration system will be presented. How prefabricated housing design can be evolved from a mass repetitive production level to a mass customization level to meet variability and personality is the primary issue to be explored in this research.

title	Optimisation for Sport Stadium Designs
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2015.573
source	Emerging Experience in Past, Present and Future of Digital Architecture, Proceedings of the 20th International Conference of the Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA 2015) / Daegu 20-22 May 2015, pp. 573-582
summary	Applying computational optimisation tools for sport stadium designs has become common practice. However, optimizations often occur only on a macro level (analysing stadium as a whole) and not on a micro level (a view from each seat). Consequently, items on a micro level with design details like guardrails can be overlooked, leading to financial losses for operators. Hence, the research argues that every seat is encouraged to have a clear field of view to avoid financial complications. In order to address this problem the research team developed and evaluated a script that allowed importing an existing design into Rhino. Firstly, the script evaluates the view of each seat via a colour coded response system. Secondly, the designer can select the respective seat, and view the sightline from the occupant’s sightline to various spots on the field to analyse where the obstruction is occurring. This ‘binocular view’ enables the designer to evaluate blind spots from each seat prior to project completion. As the script allows the designer to automate the micro level analysis, the research arguably provides a significant improvement for stadium design by comparing the time used for a design optimisation in a conventional method with the automated one.

title	Gusto: Rationalizing Computational Masonry Design

Online and Global. 24-30 October 2020. edited by M. Yablonina, A. Marcus, S. Doyle, M. del Campo, V. Ago, B. Slocum. 154-159
summary	Gusto 501 is a multi-level Infill Building on the footprint of an old car garage. Surrounded by an overpass and former factories, the restaurant and event spaces take the form of a ‘Hyper garage’ as a nod to its urban context. The interior is punctuated with standard terracotta blocks formed to create an intricate play of shadows during the day and embedded with LEDs to provide atmospheric illumination at night. The client's vision, our narrative, and the program demanded an innovative use of the primal material: terracotta. The scale of the project required the use of 3,700 blocks. Within the array wrapped around a 50ft tall interior volume, each block needed to be formed and sequenced uniquely to maintain structural integrity and interface with building systems, and express the sculptural qualities our team had designed. Standard approaches to the masonry could not achieve the effects our team was striving for - we had to develop our ground-up process to manufacture and install mass-customized masonry. The design process involved an algorithmic approach to a series of cuts and geometric manipulations to the blocks that allowed for near-endless combinations/configurations to create a dynamic interior facade system. Partisans, partnering with a terracotta block manufacturer, a local mason, and a masonry engineer, pursued simplifying production using wire cutter systems. Digital and physical mock-ups were then used to create a robust library of parameterized design criteria that optimized corbelling, grout thickness, weight, and fabrication complexity. Working sets of drawings were automated through a fully integrated BIM model, simplifying and speeding up installation. The challenge of marrying these processes with the physical realities of installation required another level of collaboration that included the masons themselves and the electricians who would eventually combine lighting systems into the sculpted block array.

source	SIGraDi 2004 - [Proceedings of the 8th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Porte Alegre - Brasil 10-12 november 2004
summary	Digital modelling techniques allow for representations of reality. In the same time, evolutions in computing allow present personal computers to handle digital representations of whole historic cities. We need to assess the nature of operating restriction so that the result obtained can be used as a scientific product, while still of a size compatible with current devices. possibilities. Concepts such as urban spatial perception, fidelity to historic research sources, and urban theory applied to uncertainty, will underpin hypothesis for the virtual renaissance of cities of our past. We present a digital model of Granada (Spain), based on a morphological hypothesis of the XIX century. It is based on specific theories to achieve typological models of buildings which original morphology is uncertain and on techniques for the geometrical optimisation and creation of scenes. The paper also presents the sources used, e.g. romantic travellers drawings, historic local maps, old photographs, engravings, literary descriptions.

summary	This communication is part of six other contributions from different authors, which aim to provide an overall discussion of a Brazilian Virtual Design Studio. This paper focuses the tools applied in a VDS within a Latin-American context of public universities with limited budget and its organization. The tools are discussed in three main phases of the exercise: the group formation, the design process, and the debates and crits. Despite the limited resources, we conclude and suggest that such experience should be pursued by other schools in similar conditions.

summary	The integration of industrial robots in the creative art industry has increased in recent years. Implementing both brick stacking robotic fabrication, following a curved wall, and generating an image viewed from a single point, by rotating the bricks around their centres, has yet to be studied. The goal of this research is to develop a functional, parametric working model and a workflow that ensure easy manipulation and control of the desired outcome via parameters. This paper shows a workflow for the automatic generation of anamorphic structures on a curved wall by utilizing modular brick-like elements. As a result, a code for the robot controller and the position of the structure during fabrication are provided.

summary	Parametric CAD supports design explorations through generative methods which compose and transform geometric elements. This paper argues that elementary shape computations do not always correspond to valid compositional shape structures. In many design cases generative rules correspond to compositional structures, but for relatively simple shapes and rules it is not always possible to assign a corresponding compositional structure of parts which account for all operations of the computation. This problem is brought into strong relief when design processes generate multiple compositions according to purpose, such as product structure, assembly, manufacture, etc. Is it possible to specify shape computations which generate just these compositions of parts or are there additional emergent shapes and features? In parallel, combining two compositions would require the associated combined computations to yield a valid composition. Simple examples are presented which throw light on the issues in integrating different product descriptions (i.e. compositions) within parametric CAD.

summary	Generative design is concerned with the definition and exploration of design spaces, and it has been suggested that emergence plays a key role in this process. In this paper, the impact of emergence on a design space is explored via consideration of different methods used to generate designs in a particular style. Three distinct methods of generating Islamic geometric patterns have been investigated and the extent to which emergence is employed in these methods has been explored. This research supports a discussion on the role of emergence in generative design, and an investigation into how design spaces are affected by the type of emergence employed in a generative process.
