title	Recording and managing design decision-making processes through an object-oriented framework
source	Timmermans, Harry (Ed.), Fifth Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning - Part one: Architecture Proceedings (Nijkerk, the Netherlands)
summary	In this paper we describe our current research into an object-oriented approach to the recording and managing of design decision-making in the processes of building design. The Advanced Design Support for the Construction Design Process (ADS) project, funded under the Innovative Manufacturing Initiative by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), aims to exploit and demonstrate the benefits of a CAD-based Design Decision Support System. The research focuses on how to provide designers with tools for recording and managing the group dynamics of design decision making in a project's life time without intruding too much on the design process itself. In collaboration with Building Design Partnership, a large multidisciplinary construction design practice, we look at design projects that require decision-making on an extraordinarily wide range of complex issues, and many different professional consultants were involved in making and approving these decisions. We are interested in developing an advanced CAD tool that will facilitate capturing designers' rationales underlying their design decision making throughout the project. The system will also enable us to explore how a recorded project history of decision-making can be searched and browsed by members of the project team during and after design development.

title	Dynamic Retrieval in an Urban Contextual Databank System using Java-CGI Communications. Development of the SUCoD Prototype
source	Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures [ISBN 0-7923-7023-6] Eindhoven, 8-11 July 2001, pp. 89-102
summary	This paper presents our current development of the Sheffield Urban Contextual Databank (SUCoD) prototype that provides users with a Webbased interface for dynamic retrieval of architectural and urban contextual information of the city of Sheffield. In comparison with past attempts of building Virtual Cities accessible over the Internet, we have experimented with a different system architecture capable of generating VRML models and other related documents on the fly according to users' requests. Through working examples, we describe our methods of implementing the data communications between Java applets and Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts. The SUCoD prototype has been developed to explore and demonstrate how user centred dynamic retrieval of urban contextual information can be supported, which we consider a user requirement of primary importance in its future use for collaborative design and research relating to the city of Sheffield.

summary	In this paper, we present LiQuID, a tool for seeing lighting quality in design. Photographs are useful vehicles for both describing and making assessments of architectural lighting systems. A significant barrier to using photographs during the design process relates to the sheer volume of renderings that needs to be analyzed. Although there have been efforts to produce novel visualization systems to manage large sets of photographs, this research aims to reduce the complexity by classifying data into representative prototypes. A hypothetical case study is discussed.

title	Machines’ Perception of Space: Employing 3D Isovist Methods and a Convolutional Neural Network in Architectural Space Classification
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2017.474
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. 474- 481
summary	Simple and common architectural elements can be combined to create complex spaces. Different spatial compositions of elements define different spatial boundaries, and each produces a unique local spatial experience to observers inside the space. Therefore an architectural style brings about a distinct spatial experience. While multiple representation methods are practiced in the field of architecture, there lacks a compelling way to capture and identify spatial experiences. Describing an observer’s spatial experiences quantitatively and efficiently is a challenge. In this paper, we propose a method that employs 3D isovist methods and a convolutional neural network (CNN) to achieve recognition of local spatial compositions. The case studies conducted validate that this methodology works well in capturing and identifying local spatial conditions, illustrates the pattern and frequency of their appearance in designs, and indicates peculiar spatial experiences embedded in an architectural style. The case study used small designs by Mies van der Rohe and Aldo van Eyck. The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, it introduces a sampling method based on 3D Isovist that generates a 2D image that can be used to represent a 3D space from a specific observation point. Second, it employs a CNN model to extract features from the sampled images, then classifies their corresponding space. Third, it demonstrates a few case studies where this space classification method is applied to different architectural styles.

title	AUGMENTED REALITY MEETING TABLE: A NOVEL MULTI-USER INTERFACE FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
source	Van Leeuwen, J.P. and H.J.P. Timmermans (eds.) Recent Advances in Design & Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning, Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, ISBN: 1-4020-2408-8, p. 213-231
summary	Immersive virtual environments have received widespread attention as providing possible replacements for the media and systems that designers traditionally use, as well as, more generally, in providing support for collaborative work. Relatively little attention has been given to date however to the problem of how to merge immersive virtual environments into real world work settings, and so to add to the media at the disposal of the designer and the design team, rather than to replace it. In this paper we report on a research project in which optical see-through augmented reality displays have been developed together with prototype decision support software for architectural and urban design. We suggest that a critical characteristic of multi user augmented reality is its ability to generate visualisations from a first person perspective in which the scale of rendition of the design model follows many of the conventions that designers are used to. Different scales of model appear to allow designers to focus on different aspects of the design under consideration. Augmenting the scene with simulations of pedestrian movement appears to assist both in scale recognition, and in moving from a first person to a third person understanding of the design. This research project is funded by the European Commission IST program (IST-2000-28559).

title	Architectural-IT and Educational Curriculumns - A European Overview
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 1 - no. 1
summary	The paper summarizes the analysis of data on european architecture schools, collected in the eCAADe-conferences during the 1990s. Computer-Aided Design has developed into architectural information and communication technology (ICT), to become commonplace in architectural education. However, the general held views on new media use in the schools seems to be slightly optimistic. On the other hand, the invisible more common ICT use (writing, surfing, emailing) accounts for a lot more of the volume of activity than generally appreciated. The major hardware platform in european architecture schools is PC/Windows (90-95%) with Linux and Unix commonly used in servers (25-35%). Macintoshes are also widely used (50-55%). MS Office (90-95%) and PhotoShop (85-90%), are used widely in the schools. The Graphic and DTP tools PageMaker, QuarkXpress, Illustrator, Freehand are also common (30-50%). AutoCAD is the market leader in CAD platforms (80-90%), followed by ArchiCAD. MicroStation/Bentley also has a significant presence in the schools (35-40%). 3DStudio is the most common 3D-modelling tool (80-85%), followed by formZ (35- 40%). Less common (15-25%) are Rhino, Maya, Alias, Lightscape and Radiance.

title	Visualizing with Digital Tools - Endoscopy Versus Computer Modeling
source	Endoscopy as a Tool in Architecture [Proceedings of the 1st European Architectural Endoscopy Association Conference / ISBN 951-722-069-3] Tampere (Finland), 25-28 August 1993, pp. 161-166
summary	This approach sees traditional video endoscopy and computer-based modeling techniques as two methods whose combination gives advantages for both. Endoscopy and computer based tools are not alternative nor rival techniques. New digital visualization possibilities are available within the context of CAD- systems. High-end and more expensive visualization has gained influence from commercial advertizing and also from entertainment industry. Traditional endoscope video has longer historical background and it’s roots are in model photography, model-based simulations and video techniques. The main focus of this paper is to describe Tampere architectural department’s computer based visualization facilities briefly with two cases studies. Our status and resources in traditional simulation have been rather good since mid 70’s, and now when also the basic digital facilities (word processing & CAD) exist, it will be our next challenge to deepen and develop the variety of available simulation methods, equipment – and naturally knowledge in combining them.

title	Tactile Models and Digital Fabrication to Support the Understanding of the Architectural Design of a Renovation in a School for the Visually Impaired
source	García Amen, F, Goni Fitipaldo, A L and Armagno Gentile, Á (eds.), Accelerated Landscapes - Proceedings of the XXVII International Conference of the Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi 2023), Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay, 29 November - 1 December 2023, pp. 1219–1228
summary	This study shows the results from an outreach activity developed in the school of Architecture at the Universidade Federal de Pelotas. A special education school for visually disabled people expressed difficulty in guiding and helping students and staff to understand the school’s space. Furthermore, the school will be renovated expanding the second floor; materials for the blind members to understand the design were also needed. Thus, tactile models were developed and produced through digital fabrication. The process started with a bibliographic review about tactile models, focusing mainly on similar studies of tactile models for understanding architectural designs. Tests were carried out with members of the school, with the aim of identifying problems and gathering insights on possible ways to improve the models. The final tactile models remained at the school. We expect that the models will allow school members to understand the proposed renovations and contribute to orienting people in the existing school space, especially new students.

summary	This work discusses how locative media and the democratization of geoprocessing technologies have reconfigured our experience with the urban space, opening up new territories for the construction of the public. It also discusses perspectives and challenges that speculative practices with locative media bring to disciplines such as design, architecture and engineering, and to the production of more sustainable ways of life. For that matter, this work presents some experiments with locative media and digital cartographies that aim to give visibility to our social relation with the urban space and to support processes of sense-making about issues of public interest.

title	Generating Alternatives For Siting Using Genetic Algorithms and Multiple Criteria Decision Techniques
source	Second Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture & Urban Planning (Vaals, the Netherlands), August 15-19, 1994
summary	It is believed that a fundamental step in the structuring of a siting problem is generating alternati-ves. This task should occur at the beginning of a process for facility location, giving a preliminary insight into the feasibility of the project in the area of concern by identifying a manageable number of feasible alternatives for careful review and consideration. The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology aimed at generating alternatives for siting of facilities taking into account a number of criteria. These criteria comprise environmental, economical and the action's inherent technical aspects. The search is carried out by applying genetic algorithms (GA's) which are natural phenomena based algorithms for optimization and random search procedures. According to the GA's terminology, a fitness function measures the worth of each candidate alternative codified into a chromosome. It was thought that the merging of aspects of multiple criteria theory and genetic algorithms is essential for the problem of generating alternatives in location problems. The aim of this integration is the improvement of the theoretical principles upon which the fitness function is based, leading to the construction of a robust set of alternatives. The paper describes the integration of both multiple criteria theory and GA's and discusses the results.

summary	This paper describes the beginning of a project called TEAR_AD: Network for Teaching and Learning Technology in the areas of Architecture and Design. Such project aims to support the problem of Professors, Lecturers, and students lack of knowledge about a whole set of technologies that can turn a project more precise and responsive in terms of constructibility, sustainability and general performance. They have problems in keeping updated about those technologies and, in consequence, do not apply them in their practices. In order to explain the strategic plane of the project, that consists in the first part of the Garrett Methodology for Experience Design, the identification of Personas, representing the target public, the use of the benchmarking to identify possible features to be used in the system, and so on, are described. Considerations about how to pursue the implementation and maintenance of the designed system are outlined.

summary	Nowadays, there is a widespread awareness towards environmental issues. This is already visible in architecture by the increasing number of analysis tools that evaluate different performance criteria. However, the application of these tools is usually restricted to the final design stages, conditioning the implementation of design changes. Performance-Based Design (PBD) is an approach that addresses this limitation. Through PBD, architects integrate analysis tools since early design stages to make informed decisions regarding the performance of their designs. Since the success of PBD highly depends on the number of evaluations that can be performed, these approaches usually end up benefiting from Parametric Models (PMs), which facilitate the generation of a wide range of design variations, by simply changing the values of the parameters. Furthermore, in order to more efficiently achieve a PBD approach, architects can take advantage of the combination between PMs, analysis tools, and optimization processes. In this paper, we explore this combination to optimize an exhibition space regarding its daylight performance and the material cost of the new elements intended for that space.

summary	An instrument with high data-processing capacity capable of developing design solutions not previously viewed by the human intellect, should not be seen as a mere design tool. In a world encoded by the virtualization of human relations and the definitive change in the relationship between subject and object, it is the role of the architect to understand what would be his true positioning in a shared design process with a computing device. This article intends to be the beginning of a comprehensive research between theoretical and pratical aspects on the relations established between the agents involved in an algorithmic process of creation in architecture.

summary	During the last years, insertion of technology accelerates its incursion both in the design process and in the teaching-learning process. Design education has gone through different visions: Some hold the vision of education in design with a look at professional training. Others, have chosen to study the roots and problems of the training process, the ultimate goal is to generate experts in future designers. An element that - consistently - is often absent from such discussions is the role played by prototypes in the teaching-learning process. This research reviews the role that the prototype has played, as a central element, in the process of collecting evidence, with a view to informing the decision making during the development of Project Design. The paper discusses the role that prototypes - from the standpoint of CoDesign, Evidence Design, and evolutionary design - have played in the teaching experiences of the last four semesters within a Computer Lab for students of Industrial Design. The systematization of information extracted from the research experiences has evolved from the Lab model to the Maker-space experience.

title	The Fear Of The Digital: From The Elusion Of Typology To Typologics
source	First International Conference on Critical Digital: What Matters(s)? - 18-19 April 2008, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Cambridge (USA), pp. 255-266
summary	It might seem that architecture has been forced to choose, once again, between two worlds of existence. One of them might be the construction of the tangible, the other, a “formal fantasy” that will never reach a legitimate status among the “tectonic” or the “structural”. This vague spectrum has confirmed the fear of loosing typology as a proof, of loosing a foremost validation for architecture. But one could see the virtual as a possibility to generate a structure of discourses and interactive tactics to reformulate the typological. This meaning that the virtual could transcend the so called “graphic” stigma and actually produce the discourses and spatial strategies to radicalize typology and move towards a radicalization of content.

summary	From architecture to art, and back to architecture: this research interrogates the potential of computation to bridge between both disciplines. The endeavour is twofold, a body of drawings is produced through algorithms that translate cultural and natural events into thousands of lines. Further on, these drawings are used to delineate a procedure in order to give rise to experimental buildings. By means of applying organizational principles outlined in the notion of fields, and the use of non-deterministic algorithms, a method to generate architecture from the realm of the visual arts is explored.

title	Exercising Collaborative Design in a Virtual Environment

summary	In the last few years remote collaborative design has been attracting interest, and with good reason: Almost everything we use today, whether it is the structure we inhabit, the vehicle we travel in, or the computer we work on, is the result of a number of participants’ contributions to a single design. At the same time, more and more design teams are working in remote locations from one another. In a distributed design situation with remote players, communication is key for successful and effective collaboration. Archville is a distributed, Web-based VR system that allows multiple users to interact with multiple models at the same time. We use it as a platform to exercise collaborative design by requiring students to build individual buildings as part of a city, or village and must share some common formal convention with their neighbors. The Archville exercise demonstrates to students how we can use computing and the Internet to design collaboratively. It also points out the need to have correct up-to-date information when working on collaborative projects because of the dynamic nature of the design process. In addition to architectural design and computer modeling, the exercise immerses students in the political and social aspects of designing within a community, where many of the design constraints must be negotiated, and where group work is often required. The paper describes both the pedagogical and the technical attributes of the Archville project.
