source	FUTURE CITIES [28th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-0-9541183-9-6] ETH Zurich (Switzerland) 15-18 September 2010, pp.549-556
summary	The research that is presented describes the geometrical analysis and the digital reconstruction of one of the most important designs by Le Corbusier: the City of Three Millions Inhabitants; it represents one of the most impressive solutions of the idea of Future City done during the XX Century, and a lot of its architectural elements are now part of contemporary buildings. The aim of the research was to understand the main morphological aspects of it and compare the different solutions made by the author during his life, starting from the first public presentation in occasion of the Salon d’Automne in Paris (1922) and to reconstruct the 3D digital realistic-textured model of it, in order to realize the video that describes the whole project of the city; the research was done at the Faculty of Architecture of the IUAV University of Venice.

summary	The research that is presented here was developed to understand the impact of a new building in a very delicate context, such as the venetian one. The case study was a very important project for the history of architecture, because it is the only design by Frank L. Wright for an Italian customer. The Masieri Memorial was projected by the author on Canal Grande and near the Rialto bridge. The very detailed drawings and notes helped us to reconstruct in digital form the architecture, to study the representation of it in Venice and to verify the effect with the other ancient venetian palaces, such as Palazzo Balbi. The simulation was taken to the photorealistic perception, applying all the textures and materials as found in the sketches and reserved notes of the architect. The final step was the realization of a video to simulate the perception from a boat and the materialization of a maquette using the Rapid Prototyping techniques, in nylon powder.

title	The IDD System: Interactive Didactic Diagrams for Electronic Education - A Method for Teaching Digital Modeling for the Representation of Architecture
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2002.160
source	Connecting the Real and the Virtual - design e-ducation [20th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-0-8] Warsaw (Poland) 18-20 September 2002, pp. 160-163
summary	The Interactive Didactic Diagrams allows for the structuring of useful information in the didactics of Digital Representation of Architecture courses. It is based on the possiblity of analyzing a graphic process- the construction of an architectural element with 3D CAD software, as well as the execution of a particular geometric projection- while making use of interpolated frames. The interactive diagram permits a sequential control of necessary operations until a structure of a spacial-temporal sense is obtained. This is done in such a way as to permit the user to gradually make his/her way through the sequence of steps with the possibility of reviewing them until the process is fully understood.

title	3D Reconstruction of a Canaletto Painting
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2004.342
source	Architecture in the Network Society [22nd eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-2-4] Copenhagen (Denmark) 15-18 September 2004, pp. 342-348
summary	The objective of this research was the analysis of a Canaletto painting that depicts Palladio’s plan for the „Convento della Carità“ in Venice, a plan that was only partially executed. Through the implementation of traditional techniques and digitally controlled instruments, the three dimensional model was reconstructed. It was compared with both Palladio’s original plan, and with the constructed version. A notable difference between the three projects emerged which allowed for a better comprehension- using photogrammetric restitution procedures- of Canaletto’s pictorial work and the corrections that the painter brought to the piece to improve the rendition of the painting. The study ends with an analysis of the natural light painted by Canaletto, and a simulation of sunlight with digital techniques.

summary	The paper presents some results of a research on the digital reconstruction of some bridges designed by Andrea Palladio. The use of new technologies has enabled us to investigate the morphology of every single element and to be compared each other. Using the method of video animation, we have analyzed some of them in order to simulate the human perception and to understand their spatial configuration, but also to visualize the point of view of a man crossing a river or a canal. The last step was to prepare the models for producing some physical maquettes with the technique of rapid prototyping that have enabled us to verify the quality of the digital construction. Some different kinds of powder were used to identify the best one for the representation of architecture.

summary	The aim of this academic research was to analyze one of the fi rst architectures designed and built with the fi nality to present electronic potentialities to people. The design was developed by Le Corbusier and his studio for the International Expo held in Brussels in 1958, for the Philips fi rm, and it was destroyed some months later, after the event. The research investigated the complex geometry of the structure in order to understand the strict relation between the physical perception of the space and the electronic aspects of them, using advanced technology, but, above all, if it is true that the best way to understand the physicality of a destroyed architecture could be a virtual visit using electronic devices and digital procedures.

summary	Application of Machine Learning (ML) in the field of architecture is a worthwhile topic to discuss in the context of digital architecture. Authors propose to extend this discussion, presenting an integrated ML pipeline built with the state-of-the-art data science tools. To investigate the affordances of such pipelines, an ML model being able to predict the environmental metrics of a generalized facade system is created. This approach is valid for arbitrary facades, as long as the proposed design could be discretized in the form analogous to the data generated for the ML model training. The presented experiment evaluates the precision of the sunlight hours and radiation values predictions, aiming at the application in the early design phases. Conducted investigation builds up on the knowledge embedded in the Grasshopper and Ladybug toolsets. Potential application of Convolutional Neural Networks and categorical datasets for classifications tasks to increase the precision of the ML models have been identified. Possibility to extend the approach beyond the workspace of Rhino and Grasshopper is suggested. Further research outlook, investigating the data pattern recognition capabilities in relation to the three-dimensional forms discretized as multidimensional arrays, is stated.

title	Towards Abductive Reasoning-Based Computational Design Tools - Using Machine Learning as a way to explore the combined design spaces of multiple parametric models
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.1.141

summary	Abductive Reasoning - reasoning based on experience - is important for design. This research tries to lay the groundwork for using Variational Autoencoders (VAE) - currently one of the most established deep learning architectures for generative modelling, a subfield of Machine Learning (ML) - as a way to support abductive reasoning in early design stages. While our research is still in its early stages, the first results look promising. In this paper we explain the current state of our research, its premises and methods, and discuss the results achieved thus far. We also explain the motivation behind our work and the potential we see in using VAE in this way and why we believe our approach could represent a paradigmatic shift in the way parametric models can be used in design.

title	Using deep learning to generate design spaces for architecture
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2023, Vol. 21 - no. 2, 337–357
summary	We present an early prototype of a design system that uses Deep Learning methodology—Conditional Variational Autoencoders (CVAE)—to arrive at custom design spaces that can be interactively explored using semantic labels. Our work is closely tied to principles of parametric design. We use parametric models to create the dataset needed to train the neural network, thus tackling the problem of lacking 3D datasets needed for deep learning. We propose that the CVAE functions as a parametric tool in itself: The solution space is larger and more diverse than the combined solution spaces of all parametric models used for training. We showcase multiple methods on how this solution space can be navigated and explored, supporting explorations such as object morphing, object addition, and rudimentary 3D style transfer. As a test case, we implemented some examples of the geometric taxonomy of “Operative Design” by Di Mari and Yoo.

summary	Buildings are an important source of CO2 emissions and account for almost a third of final energy consumption globally. The necessity to achieve energy efficiency standards in new and existing buildings is now recognised. The residential sector consumes 25% of the global energy and is responsible of 17% of the global CO2 emissions. EU governments have developed different support measures to decrease energy consumption in the residential sector. However, energy renovation by individual homeowners is lagging because the support measures do not take into account concerns of homeowners. This study is part of Sustainable housing for strong communities (Stronghouse) project, which aim to propose new tools and redesign support measures based on a better understanding of the drivers that motivate homeowners. This paper proposes a new user-friendly web-based multi-criteria decision-making tool that aims to empower homeowners to select the appropriate energy improvement method for their home fitting their criteria. The set of criteria that will be included in the application will be based on the preferences of residents obtained through questionnaires. A layered approach will be used to develop the proposed web application

summary	In the last decades, the quantity of information produced and distributed due to digital resources has been growing; big data is contributing to a better perception of our cities. The aim of this paper is to understand spatial segregation in the city of S?o Paulo (a city known by its social inequality and urban poverty) by scraping social media tags of emotions. We compared aspects that suggest socio-spatial inequalities: urban poor versus feelings of love and hate, versus feelings of joy and fear and the social vulnerability index as background. Three issues are considered in this research: the emergence of urban space big data, digital inclusion, and architects and urbanists' access to big data. To unveil urban poor singularities through social media is an opportunity to reconnect communities to urban design.

title	The future of architects’ digital records: how to preserve algorithmic design?
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. 5-10
summary	Recently architects and archivists started to consider solutions for the digitization of architectural records and conservation of born-digital files. Documenting, organizing, cataloguing, archiving, preserving and accessing files are essential tasks to preserve architects’ digital records. With the increasing quantity of algorithmic design another aspect of the digital design must be on architects’ agenda: the memory of the design process. This paper emphasises the importance of preserving digital architecture records in accessible and sustainable formats for the generations to come. This paper demonstrates a strategy to document visual programming algorithm files allowing to archive, study, interpret or replicate them.

summary	Where are we now?In the recent NJIT survey of digital media in the design schools twenty-eight out of twenty-nine architecture schools reported to have networked design studios (NJIT, 2003). This would seem to indicate a ubiquity of digital media tools. While the use of these tools is still often limited to design presentation (computer aided drawing and modeling) rather than design generation, the studio is historically a place of discovery and experimentation: with computers so available in this fertile environment we are poised to evolve the medium forward towards improved design development. This evolution is initially apparent in the way presentation methods and presentation processes are shifting. Not only are students becoming increasingly digital in their approach to design, but methods of working and presentation are also changing.

summary	The three-dimensional nature of Chernikhov's Constructivist architecture can be analyzed by a method of reverse perspective deconstruction. After a review and classification of the drawings in Chernikhov's book, 101 Architectural Fantasies, to determine which classes are suitable for deconstruction, the method of perspective deconstruction together with the underlying assumptions is presented and applied to three drawings. Conclusions concerning the forms comprising the architecture depicted in Chernikhov's images and the possibility of representing this Constructivist architecture by shape grammars are discussed.

summary	Ever since Wittkower published Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism in 1949, in which he showed that Palladio's villa plans are based on a tartan grid, it seemed that Palladio's design principles had been encapsulated. When subsequently, in 1978, Mitchell and Stiny enunciated all the topological possibilities for Palladian villa plans, it appeared that the case was closed. Freedman and Hersey have since shown that it is precisely in the application of specific building dimensions and proportions that additional design rules come into play, however. The present study builds on the work of Freedman and Hersey. It uses and extends their method which involves incorporation of the known design principles for Palladian villas, as given implicitly in Palladio's Four Books of Architecture and in his built works, into a computer program capable of generating schematic plans and elevations based on those principles and visually comparing the generated plans and elevations with the known works of Palladio. In cases of disagreement, the reasons for the disagreement help formulate further design rules.
