title	Los Medios de Producción del Proyecto: Entre Imaginación y Representación [Project Production Media/Means: Between Imagination and Representation]
source	SIGraDi 2013 [Proceedings of the 17th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-7051-86-1] Chile - Valparaíso 20 - 22 November 2013, pp. 32 - 35
summary	The present work explores the relationship between the architectural project and the representational media from a perspective that seeks to explain the role of the tool on thought and practice. Also, we understand that its interaction with the media representation is exacerbated in high architecture or formal filing due to the increasing prevalence and representational media, especially digital. Leading to the problem about how to establish a consistent and coherent theory of the project operativity taking into account the importance that representational media have on design practice, and to make clear their mutual influence.

title	Crowdthinking
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
summary	The topic "Crowdthinking" reveals the inquiries of researchers about collaborative work, distributed intelligence and collective research. The call focuses on transdisciplinary thinking as a construct based on multiplicity and diversity. All these topics are essential not only in the field of design and architecture, but also in emerging areas of human sciences and arts . Currently, the collaborative design is considered one of the key bases for change in the city and society. In its genesis, it manifests the notion that the world around us is inadequate for many of the needs of the society and from that design can be collectively improved. Such collective research, by combining distributed intelligence, sustainable social development, design cutting edge research, theories and computational strategies, generates a research partnership based on participation and distributed cognition of complex problems. This call proposes an approach in which the results of the experiences can build a model, define or apply axioms and lead to applications. It also looks for emerging conjectures about the process, the creation of computer models and the behaviour of the resulting designs. On the other hand, the need to find solutions that improve the quality of life for the community and sustainable development includes concerns about the integration of the physical and cultural context of cities, mass education and the inclusion of parametric design, digital manufacturing and digital prototyping, and BIM as a system that organizes and ensures the correspondence between the physical urban design and sustainable archetypes. These are some of the concerns in which technology has been contributing to improve the design process by integrating information. This integration optimizes resources and enables the various project professionals to work on the same model, run simulations, improve materializations and evaluate massive amount of data. Projects with greater social and environmental responsibility can be achieved adopting into the teaching and practice this new way of design that anticipates an extensive exchange that wilt foster self-evaluation and reformulation of educational paradigms.

title	Xenofutures: towards Design as Care-Cure
source	SIGraDi 2020 [Proceedings of the 24th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Online Conference 18 - 20 November 2020, pp. 40-45
summary	This paper synthesizes several years of research in the field of the theory of architecture and design, and undergraduate and graduate teaching. Specifically, it is a work that reflects on how architecture and design should face the most important phenomena of our present and near future. These phenomena refer to environmental, technological and anthropological aspects, and the strategies to cope with them, involving alter-native design thinking, fiction and practice in which futurabilities and futurizations depart from the displacement generated by post-utopian visions based on dissidence and subalternity. This is what we call Xenofutures, a design for curing-caring a damaged world.

title	Meta-Proceso de Diseño: Algunas claves en la dinámica interna del modelo [Meta process of Design - an insight in the dynamic model]
source	SIGraDi 2009 - Proceedings of the 13th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, Sao Paulo, Brazil, November 16-18, 2009
summary	This paper proposes the study of 'phenomenon' described by the design actions in order to recognize the complex structure of decision-making processes to be faced by a designer. It is assumed that this process is composed of either the ‘designer act’ (or 'creative act'), and of the complex structure of information integration and the evaluation of decisions and alternatives. In this sense, design is not understood as a creative process that comes out of nowhere, but as 'the continuous process of evolutionary adaptation between the interpretative model of reality, and the intervention on that reality’.

title	Baking Light: Global Illumination in VR Environments as architectural design tool
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2005.214
source	CAADRIA 2005 [Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / ISBN 89-7141-648-3] New Delhi (India) 28-30 April 2005, vol. 2, pp. 214-228
summary	As proven in the past, immersive Virtual Environments can be helpful in the process of architectural design (Achten et al. 1999). But still years later, these systems are not common in the architectural design process, neither in architectural education nor in professional work. The reasons might be the high price of e.g. CAVEs, the lack of intuitive navigation and design tools in those environments, the absence of useful and easy to handle design workflows, and the quality constraints of real-time display of 3D models. A great potential for VR in the architectural workflow is the review of design decisions: Display quality, comfortable navigation and realistic illumination are crucial ingredients here. Light is one of the principal elements in architectural design, so design reviews must enable the architect to judge the quality of his design in this respect. Realistic light simulations, e.g. via radiosity algorithms, are no longer the domain of high-end graphic workstations. Today's off-the-shelf hardware and 3D-software provide the architect with high-quality tools to simulate physically correct light distributions. But the quality and impression of light is hard to judge from looking at still renderings. In collaboration with the Institute of Computer Graphics at our university we have established a series of regular design reviews in their immersive virtual environment. This paper describes the workflow that has emerged from this collaboration, the tools that were developed and used, and our practical experiences with global-light-simulations. We share results which we think are helpful to others, and we highlight areas where further research is necessary.

title	Ornament & Distortion - Superficial Techniques for Spatial Distortion by Means of CAD-CAM Technologies
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2018.2.459
source	Kepczynska-Walczak, A, Bialkowski, S (eds.), Computing for a better tomorrow - Proceedings of the 36th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, Lodz University of Technology, Lodz, Poland, 19-21 September 2018, pp. 459-466
summary	This research explores the use of graphic techniques to distort the perception of three-dimensional space, questioning the irrelevance of superficial ornamentation in the creation of space. The project starts with a historical and theoretical positioning of the use of superficial ornamentation and aims to bring to digital environments the design and production of such graphic techniques. In order to do so, a parametric tool embedding all the required information in order to facilitate the creation of vinyl decals was created and was finally tested by mostly-unskilled students in an international workshop. This paper describes the development of the parametric tool, its relation to the graphic techniques, and the results obtained during the international workshop.

title	LA INTEGRACIÓN DE LA COMPUTACIÓN EN LA ENSEÑANZA DE LA ARQUITECTURA (The Integration of the Computation in the Teaching of Architecture)
source	SIGraDi biobio2001 - [Proceedings of the 5th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics / ISBN 956-7813-12-4] Concepcion (Chile) 21-23 november 2001, pp. 229-232
summary	Which are the questions to ask about integration of computer science and teaching Architecture? The use of a new tool may enhance the production of the different representations of the architectural object. But the insertion of a tool demands questioning about his real possibilities of use. The traditional language of space is composed with the constructive language : plans, sections, perspective ,etc. ; but the computer software that is used to design gives the possibility to represent space in several forms : inmersion, dynamic process, parametric deformations. Here appears the question, what is the new language? Which is the way to get to the center of architectural thought, the space. The computer representations and the modification processes of models are new dynamics of design, this has to be considered in the teaching of Architecture.

title	O estudo das operaç?es formais no processo de projeto do arquiteto Peter Eisenman [The study of formal tools in Peter Eisenman's design process]
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.715-719
summary	This paper presents part of the research on the study of formal operations in Peter Eisenman's design process. The initial hypothesis is the possibility of translating the architect's design process and his formal tools, into a shape grammar, in selected works. In this sense, the research aims to simulate these formal tools through digital models, analyze the variations in the Diagram of Interiority and Exteriority phases; understand the design process using Rhinoceros software and its interaction with grasshopper, in search of the decoding and interpretation of a system of rules implicit in the architect's design process.

summary	This work was motivated by the relationship my family has with the radio apparatus. My grand mother, her brothers and sisters, they were the first generation exposed to the radio in Colombia and always have had numerous radios in their homes to avoid loneliness, to keep informed with the news and to listen to the music. Even today, every single room at their homes has a radio on with a different transmission; some of them are transportable or mobile. An interview with my grandmother was the starting point to recognize the 2 concepts that lead the project: mobility and sound experience.

title	A Sierpinski Space-filling Curve based Modeling of Height Fields
source	SIGraDi 2009 - Proceedings of the 13th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, Sao Paulo, Brazil, November 16-18, 2009
summary	A continuous curve in 2, 3, or higher dimensions, can be thought as a path of a continuously moving point. This class of curves has been used in the design and implementation of spatial data structures. This paper is essentially focused on the efficient representation of terrain models. We propose to implement a binary triangles tree by means of the Sierpinski space-filling curve. The hierarchical nature of this curve makes it very useful to represent this kind of spatial structure. Traversal algorithms, neighbor finding techniques, among others, are presented on the paper demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed structure.

title	Visualizing Global-Force Distributions in Finite-Element Models
source	Journal of Architectural Engineering -- June 1996 -- Volume 2, Issue 2, pp. 71-77
summary	Although computer analysis has created invaluable benefits in structural design, several structural experts have expressed concern about the impact of computers on younger engineers. Computers clearly helpdevelop insight into global-displacement patterns, but they may hinder development of insight into global-force patterns. The emergence of inexpensive computing time and automatic code checking makes itpossible to arrive at a design without assuming or investigating global-force patterns, focusing instead on member-level behavior. In the precomputer era, a designer was forced to think in terms of global-forcedistributions. However, this important design perspective will gradually disappear with the retirement of the last generation of designers educated in the precomputer era. To support this perspective in themodern design environment, the present paper introduces a computer-based tool to visualize global-force distributions in large structural systems. The tool is called the global force interpreter (GFI). This paperoutlines the approach to calculating and displaying force distributions and illustrates the tool on two example structures.

summary	The paper outlines a project to incorporate digital images and the world wide web in teaching introductory structural design in architecture. The objective of the project is to move beyond technology substitution, toward innovation by using digital imaging and the web to do things that are otherwise not possible. The discussion of digital imaging gives examples of image enhancement, annotation, and manipulation in illustrating structural concepts. The discussion of the web addresses web-based image archives for structural engineering, image-based modelling assignments, collective inductive learning, and collective review.

title	Ancient Structures and Modern Analysis: Investigating Damage and Reconstruction at Pompeii
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.1997.283
source	Design and Representation [ACADIA ‘97 Conference Proceedings / ISBN 1-880250-06-3] Cincinatti, Ohio (USA) 3-5 October 1997, pp. 283-293
summary	The paper describes the application of non-linear structural analysis methods to address archaeological questions concerning the reconstruction of the ancient city of Pompeii after a major earthquake that occurred seventeen years prior to the famous eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. It presents preliminary findings in an effort to develop an approach to modeling the two-way out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced masonry walls, including comparison studies with published analytic and experimental results for one-way loaded walls, plus a trial analysis for a two-way span condition. The approach requires the application of computationally intensive non-linear analysis techniques, since the linear analysis methods used in conventional design and education are inadequate to model the behavior of unreinforced masonry. Developing an understanding of the two-way behavior of unreinforced masonry has implications not only for archaeological investigation of ancient structures, but also for modern renovation of historic structures.

source	Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures [ISBN 0-7923-7023-6] Eindhoven, 8-11 July 2001, pp. 643-656
summary	The paper describes a computational method commonly used in interactive computer graphics and games, and demonstrates its application to structural engineering problems, using a prototype program called Arcade. The method enables a new model of interaction in structural analysis, where the simulated structure responds to user input in real time, in the same way that computer games respond. The method shows good engineering accuracy in simple verification problems involving the non-linear phenomena of buckling and beam yielding. The method offers the potential to make non-linear, timehistory analysis a much more common method in engineering practice, and to bring a greater emphasis on non-linear, dynamic structural behaviour in structural education.

title	Optimization and parametric modelling to support conceptual structural design
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 9 - no. 2, 151-166
summary	The paper describes software combining parametric geometric modeling with a version of the harmony search method, modified to support multimodal structural optimization. Researchers have recognized the potential of population-based optimization methods, such as genetic algorithms, to support multimodal optimization: that is, generating a diverse range of good alternative solutions, rather than a single best solution. Among these methods is the harmony search method, which has been demonstrated to be efficient in many unimodal structural optimization problems. The paper describes a new version of the harmony search method, implemented as an assembly within Bentley's Generative Components, enabling high-level control of geometry. The new method is demonstrated on an bridge supported by two inclined parabolic arches, a structure where GC controls a complex geometry with a single variable. Comparative studies of the example find that the new method is more effective than conventional harmony search in consistently finding multiple good solutions.

summary	We present a teaching experiment involving the use of digital prototyping technologies in a pedagogical method inspired on the challenge based learning method. This method is a problem-based-learning improvement relying on the autonomy of the student to identify subjects and problems of their interest instead of solving ready ones presented by teachers. Our study evaluates the use of the method for teaching design and project support tools. The classes took place in the Federal University of Pernambuco with students from different areas as architecture, mechanical engineering and design. The usage of this method leads to rich and creative solutions that could be concretized in the form of prototypes created with rapid prototyping and digital fabrication technologies.

title	Development and application of an algorithmic-parametric tool to assess the contribution of urban forestry to mitigate floods
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2022, Vol. 20 - no. 3, pp. 496–510
summary	As an impact of climate change, water-related disasters, such as floods, are becoming more frequent. In this context, there is an increasing demand to improve the resiliency of urban settlements, using multiple approaches and techniques. This paper assesses one of those techniques, by developing an algorithmicparametric tool to quantify how urban forestry reduces flood impacts from rainfall runoff. The assessment was comprised by three main methodological steps: (#1) observing the scientific literature on “the sponge effect” observed in green infrastructures; (#2) developing an algorithmic-parametric tool using the Grasshopper application to estimate rainfall runoff, considering the influence of urban forestry design factors; and (#3) performing digital simulations with this parametric tool using a Rhinoceros-Grasshopper interface. Results indicate this method is effective in assessing the efficacy of green interventions to mitigate urban flood damage and also in foreseeing how different design strategies impact urban hydrological dynamics.
