summary	Architectural design is confronted to a renewal of formal vocabulary regarding the advancements on computational techniques. Recent advancements in digital representation and geometric description of architectural form are raising more and more questions in regard to materialization. Construction and assembling constraints are parts of data needed to rationalize a geometric model. This paper reports on part of a research activity aiming at elaborating a tool capable of transforming geometric description of a non-standard form to constructive geometry.

summary	This paper questions the context and meaning of space or the ‘spatial’ within the current architectural and urban rhetoric as suggested by Vidler (2011) in his essay Transparency and Utopia: Constructing the void from Pascal to Foucault. As a case in point this paper further introduces the context of ‘non-space’ as supposedly introduced by Le Corbusier in his Potato Building typology studies conducted during the early 1960s. In both the above instances the concept of ‘enlightment space’ or a geometrical, rational gridded and above all transparent space is contrived and skewed to accommodate alternate determinates – space in this instance, according to Vidler; no longer operates as an instrument of monumental construction but rather as an agent of monumental dissolution. Given the above definition, the paper critically evaluates the role of computational design within this spatial decomposition.

summary	The building industry is facing environmental, technological, and economic challenges, placing significant pressure on preparing the workforce for Industry 4.0 needs. The fields of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) are being reshaped by robotics technologies which demand new skills and creating disruptive change to job markets. Addressing the learning needs of AEC students, professionals, and industry workers is critical to ensuring the competitiveness of the future workforce. In recent years advancements in Information Technology, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have led to new research and theories on virtual learning environments. In the AEC fields researchers are beginning to rethink current robotics training to counteract costly and resource-intensive in-person learning. However, much of this work has been focused on simulation physics and has yet to adequately address how to engage AEC learners with different learning abilities, styles, and diverse backgrounds. This paper presents the advantages and difficulties associated with using new technologies to develop virtual reality (VR) learning games for robotics. It describes an ongoing project for creating performance driven curriculum. Drawing on the Constructivist Learning Theory, the affordances of Adaptive Learning Systems, and data collection methods from the VR game environment, the project provides a customized and performance-oriented approach to carrying out practical robotics tasks in real-world scenarios.

title	A Survey of Cable-Suspended Parallel Robots and their Applications in Architecture and Construction
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.914-920
summary	Serial, aerial and solid-linked parallel robots are unable to handle large payloads in building-scale workspaces for on-site applications and are thus best suited for automated fabrication in plant settings. In contrast, Cable Suspended Parallel Robots or CSPRs are able to handle large loads and traverse great distances as required on building construction sites. This paper reviews the existing literature and practice to bridge the gap between our understanding of CSPRs and their applicability to building-scale tasks such as full-scale concrete printing and building façade installation. The research identifies key activities in CSPRs fabrication workflows. Using a comparative approach, the paper investigates five CSPR variants and assesses the performance characteristics. A simple kinematic model of each CSPR is developed and implemented as a Rhino/Grasshopper script to aid in the performance assessment of each system. The paper concludes with a ranking of CSPR systems and their likely applicability to full-scale implementation on a construction site.

title	Unreinforced concrete masonry for circular construction
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/s44223-023-00043-y
source	Architectural Intelligence Journal
summary	This paper proposes an effective approach to realise circular construction with concrete, and shows Unreinforced Masonry as a foundational building block for it. The paper outlines the importance of circularity in building structures. It specifically focuses on the impact of circular construction with concrete on improving the sustainability of the built environment in a rapidly urbanising world economy. Subsequently, the relevance of principles of structural design and construction of unreinforced masonry to achieve circularity is articulated. Furthermore, the paper presents and summarises recent developments in the field of Unreinforced Concrete Masonry (URCM) including digital design tools to synthesise structurally efficient shapes, and low-waste digital fabrication techniques using lower-embodied-emission materials to realise the designed shapes. The paper exemplifies these using two physically realised, full-scale URCM footbridge prototypes and a commercially available, mass-customisable building floor element, called the Rippmann Floor System (RFS). The paper also outlines the benefits of mainstream, industrial-scale adoption of the design and construction technologies for URCM, including accelerating the pathway to decarbonise the concrete industry. In summary, the paper argues that URCM provides a solution to significantly mitigate the carbon emissions associated with concrete and reduce the use of virgin resources whilst retaining its benefits such as widespread and cheap availability, endurance, fire safety, low maintenance requirements and recyclability.

summary	Recent advancements in robotics allow to explore remote construction methods aimed at reducing the risk for workers. As the global pandemic places construction workers and their communities at high risk for disease, the need for remote construction methods increases. Such methods depend on the complicated task of controlling mobile robotic platforms in real-time. In this context, this paper presents work-in-progress in development and experimentation with a tool for collaborative earthworks using multi-agent unmanned ground vehicles. Expanding the field of collective robotic construction, this research simplifies the use of mobile robots and enables their operation using a design platform. Shepherd - a fabrication-oriented tool for simulation and control of mobile robotic platforms is presented, and its capacities are demonstrated in an earthworks case study. The case study exemplifies the potential of this approach to change the role of design tools in the operation and adoption of mobile multi-robotic platforms, thus contributing to robotic fabrication in architecture, landscape architecture, and construction.

summary	Digital fabrication technologies and additive manufacturing techniques opened new opportunities and new challenges for the construction industry. Particularly, Concrete Extrusion 3D Printing (CE3DP) introduces valuable opportunities for large-scale architectural elements. However, segmentation and assembly strategies haven’t been developed, and it remains a limiting factor for the expansion of concrete 3d printing to an industrial scale. In this context, the present research focuses on the design and fabrication possibilities of assembly interfaces, an essential topic for scaled-up 3D printed concrete components. Therefore, dry assembly interfaces in different printing orientations are prototyped to investigate characteristics and limitations of connection options.

title	How Metaverse Evolves the Architectural Design
source	Hybrid Spaces of the Metaverse - Architecture in the Age of the Metaverse: Opportunities and Potentials [10th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings] Debbieh (Lebanon) [Virtual Conference] 12-13 October 2022, pp. 156-171
summary	Architects have long relied on visualization tools to develop their concepts for specific design problems. From the early traditional drawings to the three-dimensional visualizations and virtual environments, all have enabled architects to demonstrate design outputs relatively early in the process. Real-world projects are similar to what architects imagined from the beginning. In other words, the design process has always started by creating the digital representation of a project and then attempting to replicate it in real life. Once the digital representation of design parts is complete, architects prepare their design for construction. However, the final visualization emerges from actual architectural functions, structure constraints, Gravity, materiality, privacy, and physical laws, meaning that architecture evolves the digitally represented visualizations. With the growth of the metaverse, all physical restrictions are being eliminated, and architects can expand the boundaries of how spaces can be represented regardless of being virtual or physical. As a virtual environment on the internet, the metaverse redefines the rules of architecture and offers endless possibilities for architectural innovation. This article aims to explore the role the metaverse plays in designing architecture. It outlines the fundamental concepts of the metaverse to identify significant elements that could influence architecture design.

title	Decision support system for air base construction operations
source	The Int. Journal of Construction IT 1(2), pp. 69-82
summary	The United States Air Force has recently introduced a CAD software performing air base planning and operability functions. This paper presents a prototype system developed to support that software in enhancing decision-making processes for construction operations, by integrating its CAD/graphics capabilities with a database management system (DBMS). The system addresses the complexity and unique nature of the air base environment and takes due account of the importance of the efficient utilization of resources. It assists in the generation of alternative solutions and furnishes comparative and indicative evaluations of these, thus providing the decision maker with proper guidance towards the expeditious selection of good solution. System fundamentals and the rationale behind them are described. A typical scenario is presented, illustrating the concepts developed and demonstrating the potential benefits of the system as a practical decision-support tool. Although originally aimed for an air base environment, the proposed solution could also readily apply to civilian systems of similar characteristics.

title	Design Considerations for Adopting Kinetic Facades in Building Practice
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2012.2.629
source	Achten, Henri; Pavlicek, Jiri; Hulin, Jaroslav; Matejovska, Dana (eds.), Digital Physicality - Proceedings of the 30th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2 / ISBN 978-9-4912070-3-7, Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Architecture (Czech Republic) 12-14 September 2012, pp. 629-637
summary	Interactive architecture plays an increasingly important role in today’s building practice. This includes design and implementation of kinetic facades. However, in the age of digital architecture, design and construction of kinetic facade has been under-explored and not well practically implemented. Hence, new design approach to integrate kinetic facade and architecture is needed for physical and content integration, instead of the traditional design approach. The ultimate objective of this study is to formulate a suitable design method to integrate kinesis with a building. Furthermore, this research aims to establish effective tectonics for kinetic facades through the exploration of different perspectives of practitioners involved directly with kinetic facades.

title	Integrating energy consciousness in the design process
source	Automation in Construction 8 (4) (1999) pp. 463-472
summary	The design process for an intelligent, energy conscious building which was built, along with the design tools that were applied, is presented. The building, situated in the hot–humid climate of Rehovot, Israel, houses the laboratories and offices of the Weizmann Institute's Environmental Science and Energy Research Department. Alternative bio-climatic design options were proposed and evaluated throughout the detailed design stage. A building energy performance index (BEPI) was established for each alternative. This index reflects the total amount of energy consumption for heating, cooling, ventilating and lighting used per square meter of floor area. Thermal modeling for the different design alternatives were carried out by means of an hourly dynamic simulation model. The model solves simultaneously the heat transfer equations through all exterior walls, taking into account the thermal mass of each external wall as well as internal partitions. The model was extended to include hourly calculations of daylighting and geometrical shading coefficient of the windows, as well as automated and `smart' control strategies.

summary	For most of the architectural design problems, there are underlying mathematical sub-problems, they may require to consider for generating architectural layouts. One of these sub-problems is to satisfy adjacency constraints for obtaining an initial layout. But in the literature, there does not exist a mathematical procedure that can address any given adjacency requirements, i.e., there does not exist a tool for generating a floor plan corresponding to any given adjacency (planar) graph (there exist algorithms for constructing floor plans for planar triangulated graphs only). In this paper, we are going to present an algorithm that would generate a floor plan corresponding to any given planar graph. The larger aim of this research is to develop a user-friendly tool that can generate a variety of initial layouts corresponding to a given graph, which can be further modified by the architects/designers.

title	Digital Surface Representation and the Constructability of Gehry’s Architecture
source	PhD Thesis MIT, Cambridge, MA
summary	This thesis presents work in the development of computational descriptions of Gehry’s architectural forms. In Gehry’s process for realizing buildings, computation serves as an intermediary agent for the integration of design intent with the geometric logics of fabrication and construction. This agenda for digital representation of both formal and operational intentions, in the context of an ongoing exploration of challenging geometries, has provided new roles for computation in architectural practice. The work described in this thesis focuses on the digital representation of surface geometry and its capacity for describing the constructibility of building enclosure systems. A particular class of paper surface forms – curved surfaces with minimal in plane deformation of the surface material – provide the specific object of inquiry for exploring the relationships between form, geometry and constructibility. An analysis and framework for the description of Gehry’s geometry is developed through existing theory of differential geometry and topology. Geometric rules of constructibility associated with several enclosure system strategies are presented in this framework. With this theoretical framework in place, the discussion turns to efforts to develop generative strategies for the rationalization of surface forms into constructible configurations.

summary	Project Alliances is a new alternative to A/E/C traditional project delivery systems, especially in the commercial building sector. The interoperable model of Co-design process and systems characteristics that is required to reduce the adversarial nature of most construction projects. Interoperable Co-Design System was just used successfully to complete the Si-soft Research Center of Taiwan. This project-alliancing project was analyzed as a case study to evaluate the validity of the system. Three key paradigms of the Co-Design were reviewed and numerous examples from the management of this project were cited that support the theoretical recommendations of this model. It was concluded that the system use wild client/server network architecture embedded with peer-to-peer agent technology to provide an open, familiar and easily extended co-design system.

title	Aviva Stadium: A parametric success
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 9 - no. 2, 167-186
summary	The Aviva Stadium, Dublin, is the first stadium to be designed from start to finish using commercially available parametric modelling software. A single model in Bentley’s Generative Components was shared between architects and engineers, which allowed the optimised design of form, structure and fac_ade. The parametric software was extended where necessary to integrate with structural analysis and to automate fabrication. By reducing the overhead associated with design iterations, this approach allowed detailed exploration of options and early identification and resolution of potential problems. In this paper, the authors add to the body of scientific knowledge by describing in detail the methods which led to the construction of the Aviva Stadium.This paper is written in light of the completed building and provides information on the generation and control of the envelope geometry, development and analysis of structure and documentation for construction.Whilst these components have been discussed independently previously [1–4], here these aspects are drawn together for the first time and are presented alongside thoughts on the manufacturing and construction processes from the project architect.

summary	Presented work is inspired by the research on funicular structures by Block Research Group and customising bricks by the first author. The research is focused on developing a mortarless construction system for funicular structures using topological assemblies on site. To make the proposed system financially viable in the India, it is suggested to limit the customisation of the topological modules. Topological assemblies interlock with its contact surfaces (Tessman, 2012). Further these force locked elements are kinematically constrained using an extrados post tensioning. As a result, the system is stable not only in complete compression, but it can also withstand lateral loads and vertical upliftment. Additionally, it is quick to assemble and dismantle the structure without foundation and by using minimum scaffolding. Therefore, the construction system can be used to build a range of temporary as well as permanent structures like temporary exhibition halls, emergency shelters, earthquake resistant structures, etc.

title	Glare Prediction in Check-in Halls of Airport Terminals Using Integrated Algorithms and Transfer Learning Strategy: A Case Study of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport

summary	The construction process of large-scale spaces such as airport terminals is often carried out in several phases, so the environmental performance assessment and analysis of completed projects can provide effective reference information for new projects. On the other hand, the layout of large glass curtain walls and skylights in the check-in halls of terminals, while fully introducing natural light, also brings potential glare hazards, and therefore the influence of different design parameters on glare needs to be clarified. However, current research has not yet discussed in detail the prediction of glare performance of terminal buildings and its influencing factors. This study aims to develop a transfer learning strategy and a workflow for predicting glare performance in terminal buildings. The results have proved that the transfer learning strategy can help quickly predict the glare performance between projects with similar spatial characteristics with high accuracy, and the outcomes also help clarify the influencing factors of glare performance and provide designers or managers with support for performance prediction and optimization methods.

title	Auto-referencing of notational labels in working drawings
source	Automation in Construction 5 (6) (1997) pp. 469-482
summary	This paper presents an auto-referencing framework and method applicable to notational labels in working drawings. The framework cross-references drawing information and updates label contents distributed in drawings. The method is applied to drawing labels, which are mainly the types or numbers of finishes, openings, or equipment, to represent the attributes or specifications of certain building components. Auto-referencing extends the functionality of traditional schedules in referencing inter-relationships between labels and drawing contents. The referencing method can also prevent mistakes due to draftspersons' mis-coordination, improve drawing management efficiency, and reduce reviewing time. One case is presented with created notational symbols, which can be easily used by most architectural firms. Demonstrations are illustrated accordingly.
