title	Energy optimized-ventilation constrained variable air volume system control
source	Automation in Construction 6 (5-6) (1997) pp. 463-470
summary	The analytical energy performance of an advanced energy optimized-ventilation constrained control approach to variable air volume systems was compared to four other controls. The other controls are either currently used or have been proposed in the literature. The advanced control demonstrated its potential to meet the ventilation requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 for every zone of the building with minimal energy consumption. The analytical work was carried out in a single story prototypical commercial building. The building was analyzed in five US cities to provide insight into the impact of climate on the performance of the advanced control. The advanced control consumed less total energy, considerably less in some cities, than the other four controls. The advanced control provides an excellent opportunity to apply to buildings new automation equipment and software never attempted before.

summary	The theme of this paper was conceived after observing the dificulty in access information about urban plans developed or contracted by public or governmental entities. We assume that, in governmental public programs with similar goals, recreating solutions is a daily action, which is, clearly, an unnecessary loss of time and resources, even more when someone is assigned to do something already done. The system presented in this paper aims at concentrating and organizing those informations in order to allow urban planners and designers to search for existing solutions to their projects and answers to their current needs.

title	Geoinclus?o: Sistemas de Informaç?o Geográfica e Crowdthinking [Geoinclusion: Geographical Information Systems and Crowdthinking]
source	SIGraDi 2016 [Proceedings of the 20th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-7051-86-1] Argentina, Buenos Aires 9 - 11 November 2016, pp.471-475
summary	This article aims to disseminate the concept of "geoinclusion" for the iberoamerican scientific community. This concept was created in 2007 by the ‘GIS Laboratory’ of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) to operationalize the "crowdthinking" through Geographic Information Systems (specially the web and mobile versions). Ever since, it was tested by educational, health, safety and environment sectors and the result was the creation and continuous improvement of the web plataform VICON.SAGA. The paper will demonstrate its four fundamental principles of knowledge construction: decentralization, authenticity, integration and resilience.

title	Interweaving Grammar: Reconfiguring Vernacular Structure Through Parametric Shape Grammar
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 8 - no. 2, 93-110
summary	This paper re-examines the interweaving method to demonstrate how architectural computation can reinterpret the advantages of this traditional crafting techniques for its geometrical compatibility and rule generativity. Firstly, the technique analyzes and reconfigures load distribution of a traditional interwoven surface to mimic its structural principle. Secondly, from this structural reconfiguration, the study applies parametric shape grammar to define interweaving rules. The rules generate various patterns with rigid local materials that fit the size of human hand. The experiment in this study shows that interweaving grammar can generate ornamental-structural components with three different load distributions, three different segmented materials and in three different spatial dimensions (point, line and plane).

summary	Recently the developments in and the extensive use of digital design technologies have brought about fundamental changes in the way architects design and represent. As a result of the changing architectural design practise, there have been significant changes in architectural curricula to accommodate new demands, opportunities, processes and potentials provided by advance digital design tools and fabrication-based design techniques. Based on this new demand in design education, a number of additional subjects have been introduced in architectural curricula facilitating the experimentation of free-form /complex design artefact, building components and material attributes. Reported in this paper is the experience of the students as well is a commentary on the quality of the outcomes they achieved whilst confronting this new learning experience. Based on the analysis of collected questionnaire answers, this paper will document the issues that the students experienced during digital design development, the modelling and assembling level as well as in the process of fabrication.

title	The Teaching of Knowledge Management Systems in Architecture: a Domain Oriented Approach
source	SIGraDi’2000 - Construindo (n)o espacio digital (constructing the digital Space) [4th SIGRADI Conference Proceedings / ISBN 85-88027-02-X] Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) 25-28 september 2000, pp. 350-351
summary	The teaching of artificial intelligence techniques in architecture has generally adopted a computer science oriented approach. However, most of these teaching experiment have failed to raise enthusiasm on the students or long term interest in the subject. It is argued in this paper that the main cause for this failure is due to the approach adopted. A different approach, that is, an domain oriented one will then be described as a promising teaching strategy.

title	Hybrid technopolitics for a collective construction
source	SIGraDi 2018 [Proceedings of the 22nd Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Brazil, São Carlos 7 - 9 November 2018, pp. 1017-1022
summary	This paper refers to the creation of a collective construction as the opening class of three correlative courses. Before the event, the installation was designed and planned by the teaching staff, combining digital and analogical instruments, which allowed us to carry out a project that involved over five hundred participants. On the site, students built the objects without digital tools, as they were unavailable. These hybrid resources made possible the production of an object that was meaningful for both, students and teachers, as an introduc-tory action of the concepts that would be developed in the courses throughout the year.

source	IEEE Computer. IEEE Computer Society, October, 1983. vol. 16: pp. 83-88. includes bibliography
summary	Knowledge-representation languages have been classified traditionally as declarative or procedural, depending on whether their basic features come from mathematical logic or data structures on one hand, or from programming languages on the other hand. Procedural representation languages are particularly well suited for heuristic knowledge, and their use can lead to efficient searching on the part of an expert system. Many attempts have been made to integrate features of declarative and procedural representation languages. PSN is one attempt that focuses on the integration of semantic network and procedural notions

source	SIGraDi 2004 - [Proceedings of the 8th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Porte Alegre - Brasil 10-12 november 2004
summary	This research aims to develop a three-dimensional representation method for complex environmental systems based on the environmental impacts derived from actions or interactions amongst the elements of the studied systems and associated systems. It is a method for representing matrices in networks which contemplates the simulation of causes and effects and the visualization of interdependence links amongst the subsystems making them up and also amongst adjacent systems. The methodology includes the observation and study of an environmental system with the consequent formulation of a networked matrix and, finally, its modeling through a three-dimensional software. Both the elements and the interactions are represented as three-dimensional items with a shape, color, and size of their own. The practical result is a three-dimensional animation in which all the elements of the environmental system and their connections are represented.

source	SIGraDi 2007 - [Proceedings of the 11th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] México D.F. - México 23-25 October 2007, pp. 168-173
summary	The Pedagogy for using Graphic and Applied Informatics in Architecture is not yet a “close question”. In this paper are presented the skills reached by developing undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The experiences submitted are based on the fusion and integration between the informatics sciences and the other matters. A further integration is claimed in the close future in order to obtain a major “intelligent use” of the technology. This is a new challenge for both, students and professors of Havana’s Faculty of Architecture. These experiences could help to others Schools and Faculties for improving their results in this topic.

summary	This paper aims at examining some issues related to the conception of interfaces whose structures work at anchoring local based community networks. It points out that the countless variables that should be considered when structuring these interfaces connect offline collaborative activities, an aspect usually forgotten in this practice. It tries to denote and propose some theoretical tools which can be an aid in the task to bring offline collaborative activities near the constitution of virtual communities place based. This paper is regarded as part of researches which aim at building a wider theoretical understanding of the constitution of hybrid and virtual spaces, and also the implications of ICT Information and Communication Technologies in daily life, taking place at Nomads. usp Center for Interactive Studies - at the Department of Architeture and Urbanism of the Engeneering School of Sao Carlos, University of Sao Paulo.

summary	The Hybrid Territories project explored the construction of urban hybrid spatialities by means of cultural action using digital media with a two-way perspective: of someone who occupies and experiences these spaces, as well as of someone who is called to understand these spaces, for they should there intervene. A form of collective creation through the use of digital interfaces has thereby been established as an effective action of intervention in an urban space, of which new understandings emerge, and establish reflexive territories that may even reshape the practice of the architect and the urban planner.

summary	Contemporaneus art constructs its own space: interactive, multiple, eidetic, heterogenous, discontinuous and subjective: essence, forms and idea of a heterotopic at the same time atopic space, that arises at the moment of the intelligible apprehension of the work. This work sets out to study the construction codes of that space from the spectator point of view, for whom the history is the sum of histories narrated by the space, the scenery, stage scene, choreography, dances, hairdos, accessories, make-up, clothes, illumination, music, sounds, songs, word, performance, gestures etc., for which sets out the analysis from the perceived, analyzed and interpreted images by the spectator. It will be exemplified from the Dogville film, of Lars Von Traer (2004), using the qualitative research method, where the speaker meaning is introduced: the creator intentionality of those spaces, but is inescapable who arises the “interpretation” from the observer.

summary	The purpose of this study is to build 3D models for the digital preservation of Chinese architecture. A historical architecture, the main hall of the Pao-An Temple, was scanned with a long-range 3D laser scanner. This temple is 19.68 meters wide, 18.2 meters wide, and 15.7 meters high. In total, the exterior and interior were registered into 1958 scans in order to cover the main hall. Scanned point clouds were converted into 3D computer models, sections, and boundary projections. Digital models were used as references for chronological records and comparison. Scanned components included the roof ridge, wood structure, dragon column, and a hanging flower. This research, which was sponsored by the National Science Council, created a two-way construction process, integrated geometric and image data, and established a digital reservation work process. Web pages were made to display 3D color components by using a plug-in to enable browsing of large files.

title	Piecewise Linear Approximation on Triangulations of a Planar Region
source	Reports in Pattern Analysis. [2], V, 76 p. :ill. May, 1985. No. 140. includes bibliography
summary	For any triangulation of a given polygonal region, consider the piecewise linear least squares approximation of a given smooth function u. The problem is to characterize triangulations for which the global error of approximation is minimized for the number of triangles. The analogous problem in one dimension has been thoroughly analyzed, but in higher dimensions one has also to consider the shapes of the subregions, and not only their relative size. After establishing the existence of such an optimal triangulation, the local problem of best triangle shape is considered. Using an expression for the error of approximation involving the matrix H of second derivatives, the best shaped triangle is seen to be an equilateral transformed by a matrix related to H. This triangle is long in the direction of minimum curvature and narrow in the direction of maximum curvature, as one would expect. For the global problem, a series of two lower bounds on the approximation error are obtained, which suggest an asymptotic error estimate for optimal triangulation. The error estimate is shown to hold, and the conditions for attaining the lower bounds characterize the sizes and shapes of the triangles in the optimal triangulation. The shapes are seen to approach the optimal shapes described in the local analysis, and the errors on the triangles are seen to be asymptotically balanced

source	Communicating Space(s) [24th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-5-9] Volos (Greece) 6-9 September 2006, pp. 582-589
summary	This paper discusses shortcomings of current animation software, and introduces a new type of digital tool that helps an architect quickly construct a cinematic spatial representation. The novel approach is that this tool looks at architectural space as a condition populated with mobile human inhabitants, takes advantage of cinematic conventions a trained film-maker would deploy and automates the process of camera work and montage. A prototype implementation demonstrates its application to a small house designed by Le Corbusier.

summary	Architecture changes in real time. It appears differently as the sun and weather shift. And over a long span, it naturally wears and decays or may be renovated. This paper discusses the use of two emerging low-cost technologies, photogrammetric modeling and panoramic video, for recording such transformations of buildings. These methods uniquely capture a moment in the existence of a building, and deliver its three dimensional appearance and the sense of traversing in it like no other conventional media. An approach with a database platform is proposed as a solution for storing recordings amassed from fieldwork and making useful heterogeneous representations out of these unique contents for studying architectural designs.

summary	Facility management is aimed at energy saving, increasing the lifespan of buildings, enhancing the satisfaction of facility users and reducing running costs. To that end, it is important to grasp the conditions of the building in detail, and to analyze them one by one in order to execute building operation and maintenance strategically. However, conventional CAFM is insufficient. Therefore, we developed a system (called Building Information Management System) to utilize BIM data made on a Web site. We used groupware to support the system and an information platform that enables continuous management of a great variety of maintenance information. In addition, we developed a system to input information of building operation and maintenance using a mobile device on the site of checking and patrolling so as to reduce the burden of inputting information. A sensor network is used to acquire building operation and maintenance information to enhance building operation and maintenance. We also developed a system to automatically input sensing information into the building information for Building Information Management System, and to connect it with a 3D model. It has therefore become easier to collect the large amount of information necessary for strategic building operation and maintenance.
