title	Beyond Distance: New criteria for spatial configuration of design
source	Digitizing Architecture: Formalization and Content [4th International Conference Proceedings of the Arab Society for Computer Aided Architectural Design (ASCAAD 2009) / ISBN 978-99901-06-77-0], Manama (Kingdom of Bahrain), 11-12 May 2009, pp. 17-28
summary	Simple Euclidean distance has thus far been the dominating concept in analyzing architectural and urban spaces. This paper demonstrates that distances between spaces cannot be measured solely in terms of simple Euclidean Distance, but instead other kind of distances (e.g. City block, Chebyshev, Minkowski, Canberra distance or Angular separation) are shown to offer new meaningful insight into space and its denotation. Several issues are raised in light of these new measures such as how much are these measurement techniques influenced by what counts as "space"? In addition is there a difference between the physical distance and the human perception of distance? More importantly, how do these methods alter design or offer a new process of designing? Applications and analysis is applied to classical examples of architecture.

summary	InterspeciesForms hybridizes mycelia’s agency of growth with architectural de-sign intention in the generation of novel, crossbred designed outcomes. In order to establish a direct dialogue between architectural and mycelia agencies, robotic feedback systems are implemented to extract data from the physical and feed it in-to the digital realm. Initiating this cyclic feedback system, mycelia growth is scanned in order to computationally visualize its entangled network and agency. Based on the logic of stigmergy, computational agents trace around the organisms patterns of growth, forming entangled and complex networks. Through this unification of biological growth and computational agencies, non-indexical crossbred outcomes begin to emerge. Bringing this hybridized computational form back into the physical realm, form is 3D printed with a customized mixture of mycelium and agricultural waste. Once the geometry has been extruded, the robot, patiently waits for the mycelia to grow and react to the living extrusions. The architect then responds with a countermove by scanning this new growth and continuing the cyclic feedback system between nature-machine and architect. This procedure demonstrates form emerging in real time according to the co-creational design process and dialogue between architectural and mycelia agencies.

source	Architectural Intelligence Journal
summary	Situated in the field of architectural biodesign, InterspeciesForms explores a closer relationship between the fungus Pleurotus ostreatus and the designer in the creation of form. The intention of hybridizing mycelia’s agency of growth with architectural design aesthetic, is to generate novel, non- indexical crossbred designed outcomes. The purpose of this research to advance architecture's existing relationship with the biological and evolve preconceived notions of form. In order to establish a direct dialogue between architectural and mycelia agencies, robotic feedback systems are implemented to extract data from the physical realm and feed it into the digital. Initiating this cyclic feedback system, mycelia growth is scanned in order to computationally visualize its entangled network and agency of growth. Utilizing mycelia’s physical data as impute, the architect then embeds design intention into this process through customized algorithms based on the logic of stigmergy. In order to bring this cross-bred computational outcome back into the physical realm, form is 3D printed with a customized mixture of mycelium and agricultural waste. Once the geometry has been extruded, the robot patiently waits for the mycelia to grow and react to the organic 3D- printed compound. The architect then responds with a countermove, by scanning this new growth and continuing the cyclic feedback system between nature-machine and the architect. This procedure demonstrates form emerging in real time according to the co-creational design process and dynamic dialogue between architectural and mycelia agencies.

summary	Urban planners and designers have long standing interest in quantifying urban dynamics and activity patterns effectively. However, many existing approaches focus solely on street networks, overlooking the functional aspects of the built form, while urban form significantly shapes the city landscape. Considering urban form and activities provides a more comprehensive view of the urban realm. This paper delves into the reasons behind the emergence of urban activity patterns and explain why cities exhibit specific morphologies in this regard. The paper introduces a novel model simulating the emergence of diverse points of interest i.e., urban uses and activities. It operates on the premise that pedestrian movement, on an aggregated scale, is influenced by urban form and its spatial elements, particularly visual attributes. It employs a network approach that combines traditional network analysis and multi-agent simulation. The developed model simulates the emergence of sightlines—imaginary lines between a hypothetical pedestrian's eyes and points of interest. These sightlines play a pivotal role in urban design, shaping pattens of activities in various urban configurations - squares, plazas, alleys, parks, and street layouts. The model is exercised on synthetic urban environments, resemble real modern cities. Simulation outcomes reveal distinct evolution pattens based on variety of sightline lengths. In settings with poor visibility conditions, new points of interest tend to cluster near existing ones. Conversely, where the city morphology supports better perception, points of interest drift toward main street intersections. Therefore, the method outlined in this paper, connects the built environment with urban usage, capturing urban dynamics through visually guided pedestrian behaviour.

title	Design for disassembly: Using temporary fabrication for land politics in the Negev
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 18 - no. 2, 155-173
summary	Political conflicts have increasingly displaced people from their homes, necessitating various forms of temporary structures and housing. However, these shelters are often one-size-fits-all and do not take into account the individual requirements, family structures, or cultural needs of these communities. This article explores how digital fabrication can be used to empower disenfranchised communities to act as their own architects. Because the police demolish the structures in Al Araqib every 3 weeks, the residents have to rebuild their structures, and appropriate architecture as a resistance tool, and not only as a housing solution. This circumstance allows us to develop a structure designed primarily for the condition of rapid disassembly that can additionally be produced with a low-tech setup of a mobile computer numerical control router. Through this case study with the Bedouin village Al Araqib in the Negev Desert, we introduce the term community-specific design, present our methodology for designing and fabricating a temporary structure in collaboration with the community, and outline the logistics for a future mobile infrastructure. Beyond aiding the Bedouin’s fight for justice, our intention as designers, acutely aware of the power of technology and architecture, is to harness both physical and digital tools in an effort to create innovative systems that can be leveraged by unrecognized populations struggling for cultural survival.

summary	Computer applications in design have pursued two main development directions: analytical modelling and information technology. The former line has produced a large number of tools for reality simulation (i.e. finite element models), the latter is producing an equally large amount of advances in conceptual design support (i.e. artificial intelligence tools). Nevertheless we can trace rare interactions between computation models related to those different approaches. This lack of integration is the main reason of the difficulty of CAAD application to the preliminary stage of design, where logical and quantitative reasoning are closely related in a process that we often call 'qualitative evaluation'. This paper briefly surveys the current development of qualitative physical models applied in design and propose a general approach for modelling physical behaviour by means of Bayesian network we are employing to develop a tutoring and coaching system for natural ventilation preliminary design of halls, called VENTPad. This tool explores the possibility of modelling the causal mechanism that operate in real systems in order to allow a number of integrated logical and quantitative inference about the fluid-dynamic behaviour of an hall. This application could be an interesting connection tool between logical and analytical procedures in preliminary design aiding, able to help students or unskilled architects, both to guide them through the analysis process of numerical data (i.e. obtained with sophisticate Computational Fluid Dynamics software) or experimental data (i.e. obtained with laboratory test models) and to suggest improvements to the design.

title	Arquitetura Algorítmica. Uma abordagem conceitual [Algorithmic Architecture: A conceptual approach]
source	SIGraDi 2009 - Proceedings of the 13th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, Sao Paulo, Brazil, November 16-18, 2009
summary	The current paper aims to a conceptual approach to the widespread algorithmic architectures defined for Terzidis Kostas (2006) through the philosophy of complex sciences theorized by Edgar Morin (1998). It intends to discuss two approaches outwardly contradictory emerged from the theme: on one hand, the conception of contemporary architecture is beyond generation of complex shapes into computer software, on the other hand the overvaluation of logics can lead architects to incur in the same mistake of simplification performed by the modernists.

summary	The paper addresses the concept framework, design and fabrication process of an artefact exhibited at the Venice Biennale 2023. The artefact results from a workshop with architecture, civil engineering, and design undergrad students. The concept spun around exaptation as a possible strategy for resilient landscapes – in our case, in the context of favelas. The object expresses a machine reading of favelas to create an abstract landscape from its materials. The landscape was obtained with a pipeline of unsupervised learning algorithms and parametric design that read images from favelas, extracted their features, and translated their latent space into geometry. The paper focuses on the methodology without neglecting a critical view of conceptions and meanings of favelas. It covers four parts: 1. Discuss the preeminent concepts; 2. Detail the design phase steps and methods; 3. Describe the fabrication techniques; 4. Discuss the results and exaptation from the favela’s point of view.

title	Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to Locate Neighborhood Parks Based on their Catchment Area
source	C+++: Computation, Culture, and Context – Proceedings of the 11th International Conference of the Arab Society for Computation in Architecture, Art and Design (ASCAAD), University of Petra, Amman, Jordan [Hybrid Conference] 7-9 November 2023, pp. 424-440.
summary	The city of Amman suffers from a shortage of open spaces and parks, which are vital for increasing physical exercise, boosting the quality of life in a community, and stimulating social interaction. This problem draws attention to the absence of planning criteria in addition to the poor regulatory framework for the distribution and location selection of open spaces and parks and their proportions that are commensurate with the population of Amman, a critical issue that requires immediate planning solutions. This study focuses on using geographic information systems (GIS) to determine the optimal neighborhood park locations in Bader, one of Amman's districts, and collects data from specific documents about neighborhood parks, examples of guidelines, and criteria for distributing parks in different countries to determine the criteria and catchment area of neighborhood parks. Using ArcGIS 10.1's Network Analyst Tool and its applications on the catchment area and the network analysis, the study analyzes data on land use, population density, accessibility, and surrounding variables to determine catchment areas to analyze neighborhood park accessibility. The study results show that the selected case study, the Bader District, which is one of Amman's most densely populated areas, experienced an erroneous distribution of neighborhood parks due to a lack of established planning regulations, resulting in a shortage of the percentage of the district's open spaces and parks dedicated to the population comparable to international standards. The research emphasizes GIS's potential as a significant tool for urban planning and community development, as well as insights into how parks might be strategically positioned to improve a neighborhood's livability by identifying areas in the neighborhood underserved by current parks and prospective locations for additional parks. Consequently, criteria are proposed and applied to the case study, and new locations for any suggested future parks are selected based on catchment areas. It should be noted that the results of this research may apply to different categories of parks in various Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) locations.

source	Living Architecture Systems Group White Papers 2019 [ISBN 978-1-988366-18-0] Riverside Architectural Press: Toronto, Canada 2019. pp.207 - 220
summary	Encompassing a series of experiments with atmospheric scenography the following paper maps out the relationships between different materials and energetic flows as part of a spatial design. These investigations emanate from the basis that poetic relationships between material and immaterial processes can induce new meaning to the ways we inhabit our environment. In diffusing the boundaries between states of matter in the environment and the perceiver, the unfolding atmospheric processes enacted here function as perceptual amplifiers for transformations on scales that are usually not sensually accessible. The focus shifts from the concrete to the in-between. The visualization and enaction of flows that make up our surroundings suggest a greater involvement of oneself with the environment.1 Through these experiments we demonstrate 1) how spatial continuity can be achieved in relating attributes of dynamic behavior of water, vapor, air, sound, and light to significances in space; 2) that the indifferent role of the human perceiver is challenged in making their impact and responsiveness to the environment part of the spatial composition itself; and 3) how the expressive qualities of atmospheric variables can be used to experience layers of meaning in spaces, that are usually not comprehensible (such as ecological dimensions of water use).

I show the process since the first approach to the communities until the end of the cartographic process and its outcomes. I present the advantages of using social cartographies when facilitating social innovation processes: the high involvement of the participants, how it helps to construct a common language, how it allows to understand the community and how it helped the design students to apprehend the tool for their design practice.

title	Conceptual design of a flooring robot: development methodology and results
source	Automation in Construction 4 (3) (1995) pp. 225-238
summary	The paper describes the methodology used in the deveIopment of the Surface Horizontal Autonomous Multipurpose Interior Robot (SHAMIR). The main emphasis in this paper is on the graphic simulation stage, which permits the analysis of parameters normally associated with detailed design, as early as the conceptual design stage. The performance specifications arc described and the conceptual design is specified. The simulation results determined the optimal joint velocity. 10(R) mm/s, and SHAMIR productivity in floor tile setting, at least 6 sq.m/hr., which is three times as high as that of the manual method. These results arc encouraging enough to continue developing the robot, and at the same time they appear to prove the effectiveness of the methodology.

title	COCSY II: CAD/CAM Integration for On-Site Robotics
source	Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering -- January 1997 -- Volume 11, Issue 1, pp. 17-25
summary	This paper discusses the need for automatic data extraction, processing, and transfer [computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) interfacing] between the design and constructionphases as a key element in computer-integrated construction (CIC). The CAD/CAM interface eliminates the need for manual interfacing between these two computer-aided phases. The CAD/CAM interfaceimproves the process of the constructed facility realization by eliminating the manual data processing and thereby reducing many sources of errors. It also makes the process more cost-effective because it reduceslabor inputs, especially those presently invested in robot programming. A model for automatic data extraction, processing, and transfer is proposed for the tile-setting paradigm. The model generates constructionmanagement data as well as data needed for automatic on-site construction (robotics). The model is implemented in the AutoCAD and AutoLISP environments. The model and the implementation system weretested in the laboratories with a scaled robot adapted to perform interior finishing tasks.

title	Protection by Generative Design - Designing for full-culm bamboo durability using sunlight-hours modelling in Ladybug
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.1.315
source	Stojakovic, V and Tepavcevic, B (eds.), Towards a new, configurable architecture - Proceedings of the 39th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, University of Novi Sad, Novi Sad, Serbia, 8-10 September 2021, pp. 315-324
summary	High yield cultivated construction materials such as bamboo could reduce our overconsumption of concrete and sand. Full-culm bamboo has low natural durability which in construction makes it imperative that the design affords protection from rain and sunlight. This paper presents and advocates a generative design workflow for full-culm bamboo using widely applicable architectural design software. A series of trials were carried out to modify the geometry of a planar truss and gablet roof with input parameters tested to determine the optimal roof surface area which could provide full solar protection at three different sites. This algorithmic process tested both straight and curved poles. Depending on the site, when compared to a symmetrical uniform 45 degree overhang, less or greater roof surface area is required in order to provide full solar protection. The use of curved poles and an asymmetrical truss could maintain full protection yet reduce the roof surface area further.
