summary	The issue of monument protection and conservation not incidentally has become a part of the scope of interests of the Center for Computer Aided Architectural Design. As a research-educational division of the School of Architecture, Warsaw University of Technology, we are a partner providing advisory and implementation services. Employment of a large computer system such as Intergraph's MGE will constitute a considerable improvement for Conservation Offices in the introduction, storage, updating and accessibility of historical maps, photographs, information about information, geological and topological, network, roads, sites, CAD drawings and 3D models. Another important effect will be that of setting a direction for activities of other offices interested in increasing their work efficiency through computerization.

summary	The building materials that help designers or architects achieve their goal of defining and enclosing space are usually concrete, steel, glass or wood. For these materials designers have both empirical data gained from experience and at times complex calculation methods enabling them to use them in their designs in a tangible, reckonable and, consequently, almost risk-free manner. It seems obvious that creating a design with well-known building materials will lead to more or less predictable outcomes. This is a good reason for investigating a design process dealing with air-filled building-elements. Architectural structures look completely different when one employs a “building material” which has not been subjected to either detailed investigations or sophisticated calculations. The “Smart_Air” Design Studio was devised to take a closer look at the unusual building material “air,” which we have only just begun to explore, and to make it the centre of a focused design exercise. The objective was to use “air” or, rather, pneumatic technologies, to arrive at structurally sound solutions for enclosing space, which could be considered a “roof” in the widest sense of the term.

title	It’s Art Baby - The Science of Comparing and Scoring Artistic Endeavour at Schools of Higher Education
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.527

summary	Scientific output has well-established methods for comparing and scoring the quality and quantity of the work. For artistic output this matter is not settled at all and a subject of much debate. We present a method which has been developed in Czech republic since 2011. This method is used to compare and score the artistic output of all schools of arts in the country (for example, music, performative arts, architecture, literature, sculpture, painting). The system presented in this paper is based on the Saaty-method (also known as Analytic Hierarchy Process). After almost eight years of development and use, the system has proven as a valuable asset to assess in an objective way output between many different forms of artistic works. In 2016 the system was incorporated in the Higher Education Act. In the paper we present a brief history of the development and the principles of AHP applied in the system. In particular, we will focus on the findings in architecture derived from the system. Finally, we will discuss possible implications for architectural education in general.

summary	This paper describes a general method for synthesizing discrete 2D and 3D output by building probabilistic models of rasterized or voxelized training data, and subsequently synthesizing new data iteratively by substituting cells or groups of cells in accordance with a learned transition matrix. The process is non-deterministic, stochastic and unsupervised. The size of the source data and output is arbitrary, and the source and output data can have an arbitrary set of cell states. Possible variations of the process are discussed, as well as possible applications in design processes on multiple scales.

title	Multi-material Gradient Additive Manufacturing: A data-driven performative design approach to multi-materiality through robotic fabrication
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2024.1.381
source	Kontovourkis, O, Phocas, MC and Wurzer, G (eds.), Data-Driven Intelligence - Proceedings of the 42nd Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2024), Nicosia, 11-13 September 2024, Volume 1, pp. 381–390
summary	Buildings are responsible for 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions, with operational activities contributing 28% and materials and construction accounting for 11%(World Green Building Council, 2019) It is therefore vital to reconsider our reliance on fossil fuels for building materials and to develop new advanced manufacturing techniques that enable an integrated approach to material-controlled conception and production. The emergence of Multi-material Additive Manufacturing (MM-AM) technology represents a paradigm shift in producing elements with hybrid properties derived from novel and optimized solutions. Through robotic fabrication, MM-AM offers streamlined operations, reduced material usage, and innovative fabrication methods. It encompasses a plethora of methods to address diverse construction needs and integrates material gradients through data-driven analyses, challenging traditional prefabrication practices and emphasizing the current growth of machine learning algorithms in design processes. The research outlined in this paper presents an innovative approach to MM-AM gradient 3D printing through robotic fabrication, employing data-driven performative analyses enabling control over print paths for sustainable applications in both the AM industry and our built environment. The article highlights several designed prototypes from two distinct phases, demonstrating the framework's viability, implications, and constraints: a workshop dedicated to data-driven analyses in facade systems for MM-AM 3D-printed brick components, and a 3D-printed brick facade system utilizing two renewable and bio-materials—Cork sourced from recycled stoppers and Charcoal, with the potential for carbon sequestration.

title	The Electronic Design Studio: Architectural Knowledge and Media in the Computer Era [Conference Proceedings]
source	International Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design 1989/ ISBN 0-262-13254-0] (Massachusetts / USA), 1989, 505 p.
summary	Design is the computation of shape information that is needed to guide fabrication or construction of artifacts. But it is not so straightforward as, say, the computation of numerical information required to balance a checkbook. This is partly because algebras of shapes are not as well understood and precisely formalized as algebras of numbers, partly because the rules for carrying out shape computations tend to be fluid and ill defined and partly because the predicates that must be satisfied to achieve successful termination are often complex and difficult to specify. For centuries architects have carried out shape computations by hand, using informal procedures and the simplest of tools. Over the last two decades though, they have made increasing use of more formal procedures executed by computers. It is still too early to be sure of the gains and losses that follow from this development, but there is no doubt that it raises some challenging questions of architectural theory and some perplexing issues for those concerned with the future of architectural education. This book frames those issues and provides a diversity of perspectives on them. Its contents were initially presented at the CAAD Futures 89 Conference-an international gathering of researchers and teachers in the field of computer-aided architectural design which was jointly sponsored by the Harvard Graduate School of Design and the MIT Department of Architecture and held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in July 1989. There are four major sections: Theoretical Foundations, Knowledge-Based Design Tools, Information Delivery Systems, and Case Studies: Electronic Media in the Design Studio. In a representative collection of current views, over thirty extensively illustrated papers discuss the experiences of universities in the USA, Europe, Japan, Israel, Canada, and Australia, articulate present theoretical and practical concerns, provide criticism of media and methods, and suggest directions for the future. Architectural educators and architects concerned with the effect of computer technology on the design process will find here an indispensable reference and a rich source of ideas. This book was itself prepared in an electronic design studio. Composition and typography, most image collection and placement, and such editing as was practical within this publishing format, were all performed digitally using Macintosh computers at the Harvard Graduate School of Design during a period of a few weeks in 1989.

summary	As disciplines converge and new capabilities are developed for programmable materials and self-assembly across length scales and industrial applications, designers will need new models for understanding the fundamental principles within this new paradigm. This paper outlines the key ingredients for self-assembly through a number of recent projects including the BioMolecular Self-Assembly and Chiral Self-Assembly projects. Further possibilities of non-deterministic self-assembly will be highlighted through asymmetrical units, nucleus models and hierarchical assemblies. Finally, opportunities for high-yield self-assembly and future applications for manufacturing and construction scenarios will be outlined. Self-assembly offers a glimpse into a future world of highly programmable, intelligent materials that promise far more adaptive, resilient and efficient built environments.

title	Robotic reticulations: A method for the integration of multi-axis fabrication processes with algorithmic form-finding techniques
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2012.295
source	Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / Chennai 25-28 April 2012, pp. 295–304
summary	This paper addresses the design and fabrication of non-uniform structural shell systems. Structural shells, particularly gridshells, have a long history but due to their complexity and the accompanying high cost of construction, their application has been limited. The research proposes a method for integrating the design and fabrication processes such that complex double curved reticulated frames can be constructed efficiently, from prefabricated components, requiring significantly less formwork than is typical. A significant aspect of the method has been the development of software tools that allow for both algorithmic form-finding and the direct control of robotic fabrication equipment from within the same modelling package. A recent case-study is examined where the methodology has been applied to construct a reticulated shell structure in the form of a partial vault. Components were prefabricated using 6-axis robotic fabrication equipment. Individual parts are designed such that the assembly of components guides the form of the vault, requiring no centring to create the desired shape. Algorithmically generated machine instructions controlled a sequence of three tool changes for each part, using a single modular fixture, greatly increasing accuracy. The complete integration of computational design techniques and fabrication methodologies now enables the economical deployment of non-uniform structurally optimised reticulated frames.

summary	Since the late 1990s, architectural form making has investigated advanced computation at the earliest stages of design through inductive analytic and algorithmic processes. This paper proposes a relational or contextual organization by analyzing existing networked models. It firstly presents a literature review regarding the development of networked models and then outlines the requirements for a conceptual prototype for future design applications.

title	Dynamic ornament: An investigation of responsive thermochromic surfaces in architecture
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 11 - no. 3, 301-318
summary	This paper describes the use of environmental sensor data as a basis for the design of architectural ornament that takes on a distinctive appearance in response to the atmospheric conditions where it is located. Among the goals of the project were the identification of inexpensive fabrication methods that could be used to build responsive surfaces at the scale of a room, and the identification of material and tectonic strategies for integrating dynamic information displays in buildings. A series of prototypes were constructed to explore the benefits and limitations of thermochromic ink as a material for visualizing dynamic data, and a method is proposed for building thermochromic surfaces based on printed circuit boards (PCB's) that is cost-effective and allows the fabrication of large surfaces through tiling. The limitations of this method include high power consumption, a short lifespan and difficulties in controlling the surface temperature.

University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design. 27-29 October 2022. edited by M. Akbarzadeh, D. Aviv, H. Jamelle, and R. Stuart-Smith. 34-43.
summary	This research explores the use of robotic pellet extrusion 3D printing (3DP) in the production of a multifunctional thermoplastic building envelope. A computational design method was developed to generate multi-layered systems of interconnected volumes using minimal surfaces, combined with a rib-stiffening approach that accommodates fabrication constraints. The investigation highlights the development of an integrated system that includes robotic end-effector tooling, programming/control methods to allow “endless” prints, as well as specific toolpath strategies to improve print speed and quality. These developments are then demonstrated through the design and fabrication of two 2.2 m by 1.1 m building envelope panels, and the results are discussed along with specific details of the printing process. The innovations of this research are: (1) a computational design tool that allows intuitive generation and adaptation of multilayer building envelopes to site criteria; and (2) a robust robotic control system allowing continuous, uninterrupted printing at architectural scale with minimal supervision and high-quality surface finish.

source	Computer-Aided Architectural Design Futures [CAAD Futures Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-408-05300-3] Delft (The Netherlands), 18-19 September 1985, pp. 92-102
summary	Three-dimensional computer visualization has intrigued both building designers and computer scientists for decades. Research and conference papers present an extensive list of existing and potential uses for threedimensional geometric data for the building industry (Baer et al., 1979). Early studies on visualization include urban planning (Rogers, 1980), treeshading simulation (Schiler and Greenberg, 1980), sun studies (Anon, 1984), finite element analysis (Proulx, 1983), and facade texture rendering (Nizzolese, 1980). With the advent of better interfaces, faster computer processing speeds and better application packages, there had been interest on the part of both researchers and practitioners in three-dimensional -models for energy analysis (Pittman and Greenberg, 1980), modelling with transparencies (Hebert, 1982), super-realistic rendering (Greenberg, 1984), visual impact (Bridges, 1983), interference clash checking (Trickett, 1980), and complex object visualization (Haward, 1984). The Division of Building Research is currently investigating the application of geometric modelling in the building delivery process using sophisticated software (Evans, 1985). The first stage of the project (Vanier, 1985), a feasibility study, deals with the aesthetics of the mode. It identifies two significant requirements for geometric modelling systems: the need for a comprehensive data structure and the requirement for realistic accuracies and tolerances. This chapter presents the results of the second phase of this geometric modelling project, which is the construction of 'working' and 'presentation' models for a building.

summary	Humanity is currently facing an environmental crisis driven by our reliance on fossil fuels and our indiscriminate use of global resources. To address this we investigate the development of a sustainable new material, nano-cellulose. Nano-fibrillated Cellulose (NFC) is a highly renewable material processed from wood fibres. In this research we present a new method for processing renewable Nano-fibrillated Cellulose into a bulk material. Presently, traditional wood fibre is utilized extensively; it is used in the production of paper, clothing, and buildings. This research asks if wood fibre could be utilized in applications that go beyond its traditional uses? Using an iterative approach, the research reveals the challenges of working directly in the processing and production of nano-fibrillated cellulose, a high-performance bio-polymer requiring no adhesives and no petrochemicals as a finished product. The paper presents these experiments and discusses the feasibility for using nano-cellulose in building products.

source	Proceedings of the 2023 DigitalFUTURES The 5st International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2023)
summary	5 kinds of regular polyhedra and 13 kinds of semi-regular polyhedra are taken as the main research objects in this paper to explore the form design method of polyhedral expansion through the rotation of polygon. Firstly, the expandable range of uniform convex polyhedra is defined and divided into two types of expansion. Then three solutions are proposed, namely, discarding polygonal faces, constructing rigid-foldable origami mechanisms and constructing scissor-like elements, so that the prior unexpandable uniform convex polyhedron can be expanded. These methods extend the range of expandable uniform convex polyhedron, and can provide new form design ideas for frontier fields such as movable furniture (toys), movable art installations, 3D kinetic facades and space architecture.
