title	Evolution and Projection of Computational Design Theories: Generation, Analysis, Selection and Fabrication
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. 120-127
summary	We can identify a milestone in computational design theories in the intersection between paradigms derived from theories of complexity and technological developments in the early 90’s. These theories provided the l foundation to build interpretation of the potential of the technology by adopting a language based on complexity to frame processes of generation, analysis, selection and manufacturing. To better understand the roots and direction of computational design theories, this study makes an in-depth literature review of four vectors involved in the formation of current dominant theoretical and technical approaches: theories of complexity, technological developments, professional practice and academia. The information collected is organized in chronological order in parallel timelines to facilitate readings exposing the intersections and synergies. The results show the emergence of theoretical approaches based on the convergence of theories and technologies, proof of concept in professional practice and consolidation in academia.

title	A Large-Scale Measurement and Quantitative Analysis Method of Façade Color in the Urban Street Using Deep Learning
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-33-4400-6_9
source	Proceedings of the 2020 DigitalFUTURES The 2nd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2020)
summary	Color planning has become a significant issue in urban development, and an overall cognition of the urban color identities will help to design a better urban environment. However, the previous measurement and analysis methods for the facade color in the urban street are limited to manual collection, which is challenging to carry out on a city scale. Recent emerging dataset street view image and deep learning have revealed the possibility to overcome the previous limits, thus bringing forward a research paradigm shift. In the experimental part, we disassemble the goal into three steps: firstly, capturing the street view images with coordinate information through the API provided by the street view service; then extracting facade images and cleaning up invalid data by using the deep-learning segmentation method; finally, calculating the dominant color based on the data on the Munsell Color System. Results can show whether the color status satisfies the requirements of its urban plan for façade color in the street. This method can help to realize the refined measurement of façade color using open source data, and has good universality in practice.

summary	There has been significant research into large-scale 3D printing processes with industrial robots. These were initially used to extrude in a layered manner. In recent years, research has aimed to make use of six degrees of freedom instead of three. These so called "spatial extrusion" methods are based on a toolhead, mounted on a robot arm, that extrudes a material along a non horizontal spatial vector. This method is more time efficient but up to now has suffered from a number of limiting geometrical and structural constraints. This limited the formal possibilities to highly repetitive truss-like patterns. This paper presents a generalised approach to spatial extrusion based on the notion of discreteness. It explores how discrete computational design methods offer increased control over the organisation of toolpaths, without compromising design intent while maintaining structural integrity. The research argues that, compared to continuous methods, discrete methods are easier to prototype, compute and manufacture. A discrete approach to spatial printing uses a single toolpath fragment as basic unit for computation. This paper will describe a method based on a voxel space. The voxel contains geometrical information, toolpath fragments, that is subsequently assembled into a continuous, kilometers long path. The path can be designed in response to different criteria, such as structural performance, material behaviour or aesthetics. This approach is similar to the design of meta-materials - synthetic composite materials with a programmed performance that is not found in natural materials. Formal differentiation and structural performance is achieved, not through continuous variation, but through the recombination of discrete toolpath fragments. Combining voxel-based modelling with notions of meta-materials and discrete design opens this domain to large-scale 3D printing. Please write your abstract here by clicking this paragraph.

title	Diffusion of research & development (RD) results with the help of new information and communication technologies (NICT)
source	SIGraDi 2005 - [Proceedings of the 9th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Lima - Peru 21-24 november 2005, vol. 1, pp. 42-47
summary	This work has the objective to post some discussions about the usage of media and communication technologies with respect to dissemination, diffusion and commercialization of RD products. With the help of a documented analysis, a system is proposed for the research and diffusion of the products generated by IDEC, to allow these products transfer, commercialization and appropriation on the part of users, in order to improve the conditions of habitability, quality of life and sustainability applicable to the construction techniques of the users own houses. Part of the concept is that the NICT are not good per se, but because of their potential to create powerful institutional, economic and social networks. Within this context, this work presents the advances achieved so far with respect to: 1. Analysis of production and information processes used for the diffusion of researches and development; 2. Current importance and limitations of intelligent systems of information diffusion; 3. Its application. " [Full paper in Spanish]

summary	These works systematise the educational exploration experience carried out in the context of a computer course of the third year of the architecture career. In this experience it is established a digital process parallel to the one carried out in the workshop of architectural design. Taking as a base the same assignment, the exploration is guided to develop a methodology for the digital environment that assists in the idea generation process. The exercise carried out is the exploration of an abstract model, which is subject to transformation operations. In both, the architectural workshop and in the computer course. The digital exploration incorporates the study of the physical phenomenon that qualify the space (light, transparency, opacity, texture) and how these phenomenon influence the perception of the model’s internal space in future design transformations. The experience goes from a completely abstract model, to one in which transformations provide inhabitable architectural qualities. The model in this stage is what we denominated as “artefact”.

title	Integrating AI Image Generators to First-Year Design Studio: “Invisible Cities” Reimagined with AI Subtitle
source	C+++: Computation, Culture, and Context – Proceedings of the 11th International Conference of the Arab Society for Computation in Architecture, Art and Design (ASCAAD), University of Petra, Amman, Jordan [Hybrid Conference] 7-9 November 2023, pp. 976-995.
summary	AI technology has been widely used for image generating during the design process both in academia and industry. There are hesitations to integrate AI image-generating software into design education due to copyright and ethical issues. However, its spread is inevitable, and students should be aware of the pros and cons of using AI technologies. Hence, this study aims to examine the effect of AI image generators on the design process of first-year design students. Passages from Italo Calvino’s book “Invisible Cities” were given to the students, and they were expected to work in groups of 2-3 to design 3D physical models abstracted from the scenarios by the book’s utopian cities. Since AI image generators work based on text prompts, the students extracted keywords from the book’s chapters to generate images. With the support of the images generated by the AI image generators, they developed final visuals and abstract physical models of utopian cities. Based on the outcomes, we observed that AI image generators were used for three main goals by the students: (1) spatial organization, (2) details of the modules, and (3) abstraction/realization of the spatial atmosphere. Based on this analysis, we discussed the role of AI image generators among the polars of being a tool and co-designer in the design process.

title	An Open Space with Scenery: ‘Greenscape Index’ for Performance Based Planning of High Density Urban Habitation
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2005.328
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. 1, pp. 328-334
summary	This paper presents an improvement of the original openness ratio concept, which has been formulated as an integrated index for early-stage urban open space planning and design support. The ‘greenscape index’ is a rating system which quantitatively integrates human visual perception with the visible landscape resources to evaluate the visual quality of open space vision within high-density urban environment. This new index is expected to provide more comprehensive environmental performance consideration criteria for urban planning and design. The research team also discusses the potential of the introducing this index to assess both psychological preference and physical form of urban open spaces. The new concept also has shown its feasibility on integrating key environmental considerations in visual sensitivity, urban wind, urban noise and solar heat gain into simple massing study which is applicable in the preliminary planning stage.

title	Affordable generic digital twins for existing building environment management and an onsite deployment
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/s44223-024-00071-2
source	Architectural Intelligence Journal
summary	The energy consumption during the operation and maintenance phase of buildings is huge. As the built-up area in China increases, the demand for energy conservation in existing buildings has become a key focus of its dual carbon policy. Intelligent operation and maintenance based on digital twins is an emerging means to reduce carbon emissions from buildings, but it faces some problems in the process of promotion. Complete digital and intelligent transformation requires significant investment and has certain requirements for project parties and operation and maintenance teams. Small businesses or individual households have relatively simple requirements for intelligent operation and maintenance scenarios and do not require complete digital twins. To address the above issues, this article uses an affordable universal digital twin framework to provide a digital solution for intelligent operation and maintenance of existing buildings. This solution allows networking communication between devices and uses IoT modules to monitor and control the environment. This digital twinning model can reduce the measurement and control of energy-consuming end devices without on-site transformation and has rich scalability. This article uses the solution to deploy an office at a university in Henan Province and specifically measures the power consumption of displays, indoor environment, and air conditioning. According to the needs, it expands the space occupation, fans, air handlers, lights, and other end devices of the digital twin. The digital twin accurately presents the energy consumption of the office during extreme weather conditions, which has an auxiliary role in promoting digital twins in the region and optimizing energy consumption in existing buildings.

title	Using Text Understanding to Create Formatted Semantic Web from BIM
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-19-8637-6_17
source	Proceedings of the 2022 DigitalFUTURES The 4st International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2022)
summary	The application of BIM in the building life cycle needs to be continuous. The information collected and accumulated in the early stages should flow to the subsequent phases. However, BIM applications currently focus on collision inspection, compliance inspection, and engineering calculation, few models can be successively used in the following stages. Remodeling is required in the operation and maintenance period, resulting in waste. Meanwhile, some of the information accumulated by BIM might be frequently used in the operation and maintenance stage, while some data are relatively rarely used. The semantic web can help manage building information at all stages. But the generation of a semantic web is mostly manually completed. It is necessary to standardize the repeated semantic description in the model and convert BIM into a standard semantic model for information indexing, reducing the resource consumption of model loading and optimizing the efficiency of the operation and maintenance system. When the existing research transforms from BIM to the semantic web, there will be a lack of information and descriptions of the ownership relationship between entities due to the limitation of formats. To realize the standard transformation from BIM to the semantic web, this work proposes a method of using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand the text and infer the relationship between entities according to the knowledge map. First, the entities are extracted from BIM, such as air conditioning unit, electric lamp, fan, etc., if the name of the extracted entity is irregular, the names are translated with the help of NLP and Ontology (such as brick or haystack) to obtain the standard definition. By comparing the complete knowledge graph (such as the knowledge graph of the air conditioning system), the relationships can be deduced, and then a standardized semantic model can be generated.

summary	There is a strong relation between playful learning and the environment children inhabit. An environment can easily turn into a medium for play while its patterns and children's interactions with these patterns can turn into experiences of learning. Developed upon findings from an analog pilot study and built with an open source electronic platform and piezoelectric sensors, our prototype translates children's physical actions into responses of an interactive device. Experiments with children using the prototype support, in part, a unifying approach to designing playful learning environments embedded with tangible spatial interaction.

title	SkelETHon Formwork - 3D Printed Plastic Formwork for Load-Bearing Concrete Structures
source	SIGraDi 2017 [Proceedings of the 21th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-956-227-439-5] Chile, Concepción 22 - 24 November 2017, pp.379-387
summary	The imperative need for complex geometries in architecture is driving innovation towards an unconstrained fabrication freedom in building components. Fabrication constraints are a critical obstacle when material efficiency through complex, optimized topologies is sought. To address this constraint, this research investigates the use of 3D printed plastic formwork for fibre reinforced concrete at large scale. This novel construction method makes complex topologies and precise details possible for full-scale, load bearing structures. To demonstrate its potential applications, SkelETHon —a functional four-meter-long concrete canoe— was designed, built and raced in a regatta on the Rhine river (Figure 1).

title	Architectural Forms by Abstracting Nature
source	International Conference on Generative Art
summary	The structures in nature are great lessons for human study. Having been in development for several billion years, only the most successful structural forms have survived. The resourcefulness of material use, the underlying structural systems and the profound capacity to respond to a variety of climatic and environmental forces make natural form tremendous exemplars to human architectures. The wholeness of natural form indicates that the form and forces are always in some sense of equilibrium. In most of natural forms, the quality of equilibrium may be difficult to recognize. However, seashells are one of the natural forms whose functions are simple enough to be approximated by a simple mathematical relationship. The focus of this study was to understand the seashell form as applicable to human architectures. Digital methods are the language to analyze, create, and simulate seashell forms, as well as, suggest a variety of possible architectural forms.

summary	Using mathematics and digital methods as a tool of investigation in both the natural and architectural form gives us a flexibility of exploring mu ltiple forms and allows us to implement new parameters into the mathematical framework to generate rather more complex architectural geometry. The method of generating architectural forms in this research is developed by selecting seashell as natural object and investigating its mathematical description then abstracting each mathematical parameter with others possible mathematical functions. Each selected mathematical function represents a mathematical abstraction of a specific seashell parameter as it occurs in nature. These enable the exploring of new mathematical relationships to generate a variety of architectural forms. In the seashell form these mathematical functions are limited to those that appeared in the actual geometry of shell such as logarithmic spiral, circle and ellipse. However, in the architectural form the limitations are less.

title	From Waste to 3D CAD: Framework for Geographical and Temporally Conscious Design Tool
source	ACADIA 2023: Habits of the Anthropocene: Scarcity and Abundance in a Post-Material Economy [Volume 2: Proceedings of the 43rd Annual Conference for the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 979-8-9891764-0-3]. Denver. 26-28 October 2023. edited by A. Crawford, N. Diniz, R. Beckett, J. Vanucchi, M. Swackhamer 24-32.
summary	This paper introduces a framework that addresses the limitations of form-first design approaches in contemporary architectural practice, where digital design and comput- er-aided design (CAD) tools often neglect material realities. The framework aims to bridge the gap between form-based and material-centric approaches by proposing a digital design tool that is both geographical and temporally conscious. Outlined in this paper is a proposal for a 3D modeling tool that incorporates information from material, weather, and environmental databases, enabling users to model with location-specific materials that dynamically respond to local environmental factors over time. This integration of material and environmental data empowers designers to consider the temporal dimension of their design decisions, promoting a more environmentally sustainable and contextually respon- sive design practice. The presented framework and pilot tool derived observations and insights from material studies, fabrication experiments, and accelerated weathering tests. These tests involve bio-composites made from agricultural byproducts and food wastes, where the findings are translated into computational simulations for material properties and decay. These insights inform the development of the framework, which seeks to align with the principles of a circular and hyperlocal material economy, countering supply-chain determinism by emphasizing localization, mechanical property variation, and material decay. This paper contributes to the advancement of architectural design and fabrication by bridging the gap between form-based and material-centric approaches, fostering an understanding of materials and their temporal characteristics. The proposed 3D modeling tool promotes sustainable and contextually responsive architectural solutions, advocating for the use of regionally sourced materials.
