title	Space, Place and Digital Media:Towards a Better Simulation of a City that has now Disappeared
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 1 - no. 1
summary	Digital media enable researchers and designers to derive better informed processes in solving problems of historical architectural restoration and virtual archaeology. However, recently insufficiencies have been found in the main technologies often applied in such techniques, such as 3D modeling, high-quality rendering and animation. Given these problems, this paper attempts to explore a digital reconstruction procedure for historical architecture and cities using 3D scanning, Virtual Reality cave technology and motion capture technology. This case study is based on a collaborative project in conjunction with the National Palace Museum, Taiwan, and the China Times, Taiwan.The five steps involved in this project include data collection and analysis, three-dimensional digital inferences, digital reconstruction of static and moving models, scenario dynamics (by integrating the two kinds of models), and visual-spatial immersion using a VR-cave representation. Finally, a preliminary digital reconstruction procedure is presented.

summary	Achieving energy efficient urban planning requires a multi-disciplinary planning approach. The huge increase in data from sensors and simulations does not help to reduce the burden of planners. On the contrary, unfamiliar multi-disciplinary data sets can bring planners into a hopeless tangle. This paper applies semi-supervised learning methods to address such planning data issues. A case study is used to demonstrate the proposed method with respect to three performance issues: solar heat gains, natural ventilation and daylight. The result shows that the method addressing both familiar and unfamiliar data has the ability to guide the planner during the planning process.

summary	Urban design always requires the processing of large amounts of data from multi-disciplinary sources during the decision-making stages. However, unfamiliar multi-disciplinary data sets can only lead to confusion and uncertainty. This research proposes a data-driven approach for supporting the urban design process. A hybrid data mining method is used to cluster, classify and rank solution-instances according to geometrical properties and energy performance. An urban design case study is used to demonstrate the proposed method with respect to two performance issues: solar heat gains and natural ventilation. The result shows that the method addressing both familiar and unfamiliar data can effectively guide the designer during the design process.

summary	Healthy urban planning is about planning for people, considering the needs of people and communities during the planning process and the implications of decisions for human health and well-being. However, access to real electronic health record (EHR) data is hindered by legal, privacy, security, and intellectual property restrictions. The lack of freely distributable health records has become an important issue for healthy urban planning. This research develops a source of synthetic electronic health records based on reviewed and meta-analysed evidence on the association between built environmental characteristics related to lifestyle chronic diseases. This research uses Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) as health for proof of concept. The results roughly approximate age and gender groups at diagnosis curves (R2 = 0.876), and correctly generated more than 90% of patients for the all age group in Singapore. As a summary, these pilot validated synthetic records could be used as a risk-free (no privacy & security issues) data for supporting healthy urban planning.

title	Micro-scale weather data for energy performance assessment in Singapore

summary	Weather data plays an important role for energy perfor- mance assessment in the design of buildings and urban environments. Many researches have been carried out to generate and analyse vari- ous weather files for different simulation platforms. However, investi- gations have been lacking in the development of weather files that ac- count for urban heat island (UHI) problems. As a result of global warming and the complexity of the urban environment, the weather file for a modern city cannot be simply based on climate information from 20 years ago. The objective of this research is to demonstrate a method for creating different micro-scale typical meteorological year (TMY) weather files based on different urban texture values. This re- search includes three steps: 1) Recent years weather data is obtained. 2) Considering the UHI impact, a series of new TMY weather files are generated for different micro-scale areas in Singapore based on rele- vant urban texture variables. 3) A comparison of the results shows that there is a big difference between the new and the old TMY. The tem- perature of the new TMY is 1-2°C higher, while the solar radiation is lower than the original TMY data. Hence the new weather files will be more credible than the original TMY for energy performance simula- tion in the design process.

summary	Space frames are widely used in spatial constructions as they are lightweight, rigid, and efficient. However, when it comes to the complex and irregular spaces frames, they can be difficult to fabricate because of the uniqueness of the nodes and bars. This paper presents a novel timber space frame system that can be easily manufactured using 3-axis CNC machines, and therefore increase the ease of the design and construction of complex space frames. The form-finding of the space frame is achieved with the help of polyhedral graphic statics (PGS), and resulted form has inherent planarity which can be harnessed in the materialization of the structure. Inspired by the traditional wood tectonics kerf bending and zippers are applied when devising the connection details. The design approach and computational process of this system are described, and a test fabrication of a single node is made via 3-axis CNC milling and both physically and numerically tested. The structural performance shows its potentials for applications in large-scale spatial structures.

summary	Sound, an often easily overlooked part of the urban composition, plays a crucial role in urban studies regarding how people perceive urban acoustic environments. Influenced by variable natural and artificial acoustic elements, the multi-level nature of urban soundscapes reflects multidimensional urban characteristics and thus demands thorough investigations. Unravelling the acoustic complexity and understanding its influence on public spaces' popularity will benefit the interpretation of urban soundscapes and help to build a more vibrant public life. In this paper, we utilize DepthMapX and QGIS to select specimen sites for further investigation. The behavioural analysis is performed through principle components analysis (PCA) and K-Means analysis based on data obtained within the city of London. This project seeks to develop digital strategies to investigate the relationship between urban public spaces and their soundscapes: to infer the correlation between people's emotions and the richness of urban environments. Through integrating machine-learning analytic approaches into visualizing how citizens perceive or experience the urban sound environment, our research aims to positively assist and inform urban practitioners in planning and designing more benign acoustic environments.

title	Predicting Non-functional Nodes of Floorplan via Graph Neural Network (GNN)
source	Dokonal, W, Hirschberg, U and Wurzer, G (eds.), Digital Design Reconsidered - Proceedings of the 41st Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2023) - Volume 2, Graz, 20-22 September 2023, pp. 529–538
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.529
summary	This paper presents an innovative approach to automating the floorplan generation process by employing Graph Neural Networks (GNN) to facilitate the transition from functional assignment lists to bubble diagrams and eventually to floorplan graphs. In recent years, there have been many studies on the interconversion of floorplan graph and layout design. However, these studies usually mix up floorplan graph and bubble diagram, despite their distinct roles in representing spatial and functional relationships, respectively. To address this disparity, we introduce a research framework comprising three main steps. First, we generate the CubiBubble5k dataset, which encompasses bubble diagrams and functional lists, drawing on the existing CubiCasa5k and CubiGraph5k datasets. Next, we train a GNN to transform design assignments into structured graph data, utilizing functional lists as input and bubble diagrams as output. Subsequently, we train another GNN that predicts and inserts non-functional spaces, such as corridors and anterooms, into purely functional bubble diagrams, using bubble graphs as input and floorplan graphs as output. We assess the performance of both GNNs and, by integrating our framework with the established graph2plan study, successfully demonstrate the generation of real-world floorplans from project task books. Lastly, we conduct case studies to validate the feasibility of our proposed framework. We use the existing graph2plan platform to visualize the impact of our algorithm on the final layout.

title	Topological Networks Using a Sequential Method
source	ACADIA 2021: Realignments: Toward Critical Computation [Proceedings of the 41st Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 979-8-986-08056-7]. Online and Global. 3-6 November 2021. edited by B. Bogosian, K. Dörfler, B. Farahi, J. Garcia del Castillo y López, J. Grant, V. Noel, S. Parascho, and J. Scott. 512-519.
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2021.512
summary	The paper shares preliminary results of a novel sequential method to expand existing topology-based generative design. The approach is applied to building an interactive community design system based on a mobile interface. In the process of building an interactive design system, one of the core problems is to harness the complex topological network formed by user demands. After decades of graph theory research in architecture, a consensus on self-organized complex networks has emerged. However, how to convert input complex topological data into spatial layouts in generative designs is still a difficult problem worth exploring. The paper proposes a way to simplify the problem: in some cases, the spatial network of buildings can be approximated as a collection of sequences based on circulation analysis. In the process of network serialization, the personalized user demands are transformed into activity patterns and further into serial spaces. This network operation gives architects more room to play with their work. Rather than just designing an algorithm that directly translates users’ demands into shape, architects can be more actively involved in organizing spatial networks by setting up a catalogue of activity patterns of the residents, thus contributing to a certain balance of top-down order and bottom-up richness in the project. The research on data serialization lays a solid foundation for the future exploration of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) applied to generative design.

title	In(flatable) Mod(uli): Air-buoyant, form-resistant, temporary structures
source	Living Systems and Micro-Utopias: Towards Continuous Designing, Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA 2016) / Melbourne 30 March–2 April 2016, pp. 405-414

summary	Conventional inflatable material systems offer a quick and reversible means of construction, however presenting limitations in terms of adaptability. Conventional, discrete, form-resistant structures feature stability through the complex organisation of discrete ele- ments, however featuring inertias in terms of flexibility and disecon- omies if applied to projects with a short lifespan. This paper discusses an alternative application of inflatable buoyant moduli to a discrete form-resistant structure in order to provide an adaptive installation for temporary events. Numerical and physical models are developed through a series of benchmarks, first, and a design project application eventually. The inherent predictability of this complex system is stud- ied in terms of constructability, costs, flexibility and spatial quality.

title	Segregation of Form, Color, Movement, and Depth : Anatomy, Physiology, and Perception
source	Science. May, 1988. vol. 240: pp. 740-750 : ill. some col. includes bibliography
summary	Anatomical and physiological observations in monkeys indicate that the primate visual system consists of several separate and independent subdivisions that analyze different aspects of the same retinal image: cells in cortical visual areas 1 and 2 and higher visual areas are segregated into three interdigitating subdivisions that differ in their selectivity for color, stereopsis, movement, and orientation. The pathways selective for form and color seem to be derived mainly from the parvocellular geniculate subdivisions, the depth- and movement-selective components from the magnocellular. At lower levels, in the retina and in the geniculate, cells in these two subdivisions differ in their color selectivity, contrast sensitivity, temporal properties, and spatial resolution. These major differences in the properties of cells at lower levels in each of the subdivisions led to the prediction that different visual functions, such as color, depth, movement, and form perception, should exhibit corresponding differences. Human perceptual experiments are remarkably consistent with these predictions. Moreover, perceptual experiments can be designed to ask which subdivisions of the system are responsible for particular visual abilities, such as figure/ground discrimination or perception of depth from perspective or relative movement-functions that might be difficult to deduce from single-cell response properties

source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 8 - no. 1, 17-28
summary	Beyond the debate about the possible advantages of the automation of time-consuming drafting tasks, or of the expressive qualities that emerge from the use of scripts in architectural design, this article posits the idea that scripts constitute a new kind of "design artifact", reconfiguring a designer's engagement with a design problem. By examining how scripts destabilize dominant conceptions of architectural representations as figural descriptions the article delineates the ongoing emergence of a performative and computational epistemology of architectural design.

summary	In the course of the 20th century, architectural construction has gone through intense innovation in its material, engineering and design, radically transforming the way buildings were and are conceived. Technological and industrial advances enabled and challenged architects, engineers and constructors to build increasingly complex architectural structures from concrete. Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques have, more recently, rejuvenated and increased the possibilities of realising ever more complex geometries. Reinforced concrete is often chosen for such structures since almost any shape can be achieve when poured into a formwork. However, designs generated with digital tools tend to have limited relation to the efficient modes of production typically used in contemporary concrete construction. A large gap has emerged between the technology in architectural design and the building industry, so that few efficient solutions exist for the production of geometrically complex structures in concrete. This paper focuses on the capabilities and efficiency of existing casting techniques both with static and dynamic formwork which, when combined with digital fabrication, allow innovative fabrication approaches to be taken. Particular focus is placed on slipforming, an approved and efficient construction technique, which until now is unexplored in conjunction with digital fabrication.

title	Ethnographic description of design networks
source	Automation in Construction 7 (2-3) (1998) pp. 101-110
summary	One of the central themes of a commercial design process is communication. Complex design artefacts, rather than being rationally thought out by individuals, evolve through designers negotiating and bargaining with clients and peers alike. Problems are resolved through discussion and explanation. The 'design process,' as a reified entity, cannot be apprehended by any individual. Understanding of the process is spread over a social network, and through the narratives and discourses that are forged from day to day. This is design as a social process. The focus of the present paper is twofold. First, we wish to establish the field of ethnography as a particularly useful method of describing design in its social form. Secondly, we describe the results of a design case study we have carried out, using ethnographic methods, in an aerospace manufacturing company. We observe informal structures determining work activity, and the use of subtle `role' playing in problem-solving.

summary	The design disciplines of architecture, engineering, and computer science have provided three distinct models of the design process. We hypothesize that these models merely indicate three approaches to design, and that fragments of all three models will be found in any one discipline. To discuss this issue we present a discipline-independent cognitive framework which we then apply to a protocol analysis study of five engineering designers. Our results indicate that the designer's experience plays a key role in determining the design process.

title	From digital design to physical model - Origami techniques applied to dynamic paneling shapes for acoustic performance control

summary	The recent trend toward non-standard and free form architecture has generated a lot of debate among the Scientific Community. The reasons can be found in the renewed interest in organic shapes, in addition to recent and powerful capabilities of parametric platforms. In this regard, the Visual Programming Language (VPL) interface gives a high level of freedom and control for conceiving complex shapes. The geometric problems in identifying a suitable shape have been addressed by relying on the study of Origami. The control of variable geometry has required the use of algorithmic models that ensure fast changes and free control of the model, besides a physical one made of rigid cardboard to simulate its rigid-foldability. The aim is to present a prototype of an adaptive structure, with an acoustic application, to control sound quality and perception in spaces where this has a central role, such as theatres or concert halls.
