title	Ivy: Progress in Developing Practical Applications for a Weighted-Mesh Representation for Use in Generative Architectural Design
source	ACADIA 2017: DISCIPLINES & DISRUPTION [Proceedings of the 37th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-692-96506-1] Cambridge, MA 2-4 November, 2017), pp. 446- 455
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2017.446
summary	This paper presents progress in the development of practical applications for graph representations of meshes for a variety of problems relevant to generative architectural design (GAD). In previous work (Nejur and Steinfeld 2016), the authors demonstrated that while approaches to marrying mesh and graph representations drawn from computer graphics (CG) can be effective within the domains of applications for which they have been developed, they have not adequately addressed wider classes of problems in GAD. There, the authors asserted that a generalized framework for working with graph representations of meshes can effectively bring recent advances in mesh segmentation to bear on GAD problems, a utility demonstrated through the development of a plug-in for the visual programming environment Grasshopper. Here, we describe a number of implemented solutions to mesh segmentation and transformation problems, articulated as a series of additional features developed as a part of this same software. Included are problems of mesh segmentation approached through the creation of acyclic connected graphs (trees); problems of mesh transformations, such as those that unfold a segmented mesh in anticipation of fabrication; and problems of geometry generation in relation to a segmented mesh, as demonstrated through a generalized approach to mesh weaving. We present these features in the context of their potential applications in GAD and provide a limited set of examples for their use.

title	Shape-Programmed Self-Assembly of Bead Structures
source	ACADIA 2020: Distributed Proximities / Volume I: Technical Papers [Proceedings of the 40th Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-578-95213-0].

summary	This paper demonstrates the potential of a robust, low-cost approach to programmable matter using beads and string to achieve complex shapes with novel self-organizing and deformational properties. The method is inspired by the observation that beads forced together along a string will become constrained until they spontaneously rigidify. This behavior is easily observed using any household string and flat-faced beads and recalls the mechanism behind classic crafts such as push puppets. However, specific examples of architectural applications are lacking. We analyze how this phenomenon occurs through static force analyses, physical tests, and simulation, using a rigid body physics engine to validate digital prototypes. We develop a method of designing custom bead geometries able to be produced via generic 3D-printing technology, as well as a computational path-planning toolkit for designing ways of threading beads together. We demonstrate how these custom bead geometries and threading paths influence the acquired structure and its assembly. Finally, we propose a means of scaling up this phenomenon, suggesting potential applications in deployable architecture, mortarless assembly of nonfunicular masonry, and responsive architectural systems.

title	Source Studio: Teaching Programming For Architectural Design
source	T. Tidafi and T. Dorta (eds) Joining Languages Cultures and Visions: CAADFutures 2009 CD-Rom
summary	The architectural studio framework presented here is based on the use of programming as central form generation reflexive medium (Schon, 1983). Its aim is to teach architectural design while introducing a different approach toward computer tools by enabling students to fully explore variations in their designs through the use of coding for form definition. It proposes the students to reflect on their design process through its confrontation to algorithmic formalization (Mitchell 1990). This results in exercising the synthetic re-thinking of their initial sketch intents to comply with the difficult task of fitting the language syntax. With the proliferation and constant replacement of computer tools among the architectural practice, a shift appears in the attitude towards introducing students to different tools: studio teaching is branded by specific software platforms advocated by the teaching team. A lack of generalized view, independent of commercial CAD software, is problematic for the definition of new teaching tools suited for this constantly evolving situation (Terzidis, 2006).

summary	The paper presents a teaching experiment using the LOGO language to introduce geometric programming to architectural students with no a priory coding knowledge. Based on extreme simplicity as well as instant visual feedback, the language allows to introduce core programming concepts with little technicality. The extension of the language to a 3D space triggers designers interest and creativity while the introduction of a simple robotic drawing machine confront them with a simple fabrication context. These elements concur to develop a critical approach of the use of digital tools in the architectural design process, with the underlying aim to raise the students awareness on the implication of tooling on their design practice.

title	Modulated corrugations by differential growth - Integrated FRP tectonics towards a new approach to sustainability, fusing architectural and energy design for a new students’ space
source	Fioravanti, A, Cursi, S, Elahmar, S, Gargaro, S, Loffreda, G, Novembri, G, Trento, A (eds.), ShoCK! - Sharing Computational Knowledge! - Proceedings of the 35th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy, 20-22 September 2017, pp. 593-602
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2017.2.593
summary	This Master Thesis research investigates the concept of 'integrated tectonics' as a new way of thinking sustainability in architecture, intended as an ecology of different, integrated factors which take part in a seamless design-to-fabrication process. In particular, this new paradigm is applied to the design of a pavilion made of a fiber-reinforced (FRP) sandwich shell integrating multiple systems and performances. A differential growth algorithm mimicking cellular tissue development modulates performance across the surface through ornamental features in the form of corrugated patterns. Iterative feedback simulations allow the exploration of the mutual relations connecting morphogenesis and performance distribution patterns at the architectural scale. Problems connected to simulation inaccuracies and difficult software integration are discussed. A 1:2 scale prototype of a shell portion was fabricated to test material properties and production feasibility.

title	Defining and Implementing a Multilevel Design Representation with Simulation Applications
source	Design Research Center, CMU, December, 1982. [7] p. includes bibliography
summary	A design representation that incorporates descriptions at more than one level of abstraction is called a multilevel representation. This paper describes a multilevel representation which includes behavioral and structural levels of description, and a multilevel analysis aid, called timing abstraction, which extracts timing information from a structural design and adds it to a behavior level description. With this design aid, alternate implementations of the same behavior, generated using the CMU-DA synthesis software, can be compared using a behavior level simulator. The timing accuracy is that of the microcode implementation, while the speed of the simulation is that of a behavior level simulator

summary	Starting from the need for assistive technologies and resources for children with atypical development, this article aimed to evaluate the application of a set of teaching materials, co-created for elementary school children, made through digital fabrication by architects, presenting the application in the school environment of the first workshops with teachers who work with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. To this end, a literature review was carried out on Codesign, Autism Spectrum Disorder, assistive technologies and educational toys. It also presented the relationships between the design process and the children's learning process. The research was divided into stages of bibliographic review, field research through interviews, and action research with teachers. At the end of this work, we hope to understand the concepts and teaching approaches for children with ASD, and with this, evaluate whether it is possible to create an equitable and effective school environment, stimulating the maker culture.

summary	This paper aims to reflect about how the ideas of “experience in the education” and the “individuation process” can guide the development of dynamic data visualization systems that can promote teaching and learning design history. The main goal is to identify parameters for the definition of a data visualization model that promotes the emancipation of the interpretative and narrative act of the “Activity Inductor”. It highlights the importance of promoting humanistic data visualization models that avoid information simulacrums and enable successive observation experiences, tests and dialectic data presentation.

summary	This article discusses existing resilience level of “dynamic Information Systems” related to “relation models” adopted by main theoretical authors at Design Information field. The main work objective was to recognize and to relate “relation models” with resilience levels. These models has exhibited, on development of “dynamic information systems”, emphasis in producer subject principles over interpreter subject requests. However, factors resulting of “relation models” help to arise a set of resilience attributes that may be used to develop systems with higher resilience level.

title	A blended-learning approach in CAAD. Enhancing an architectural design studio experience by using collaborative web applications.
source	FUTURE TRADITIONS [1st eCAADe Regional International Workshop Proceedings / ISBN 978-989-8527-03-5], University of Porto, Faculty of Architecture (Portugal), 4-5 April 2013, pp. 83-94
summary	This paper is the result of a research project started in 2007 in our architecture school which aimed to adopt a Blended-Learning approach in teaching CAAD to 3rd year architecture students, while integrating the knowledge produced by our R&D Unit on architectural representation and communication techniques and web applications. We present our main conclusions regarding this strategy’s results and the web applications involved to understand if they acted like catalysts for engaging students with their learning process and for promoting a better communication between them and their teachers. The article shows how this strategy created new forms of interaction making communication between teachers and students easier and giving the latter an active role in the learning process. We start with an introduction to CAAD’s pedagogical strategy; we then describe the strategy and model applied to several case studies and the materials and learning tools used. Finally, we’ll discuss the most significant results and draw the main conclusions. The results highlight how the learning process coming from the Blended-Learning strategy and the use of complementary web applications strengthens the student’s and teacher’s capacity to work in a close relationship while maintaining the student’s active role in the learning process.
