title	Stressed Skin Wood Surface Structure

source	ACADIA 19:UBIQUITY AND AUTONOMY [Proceedings of the 39th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-578-59179-7] (The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture, Austin, Texas 21-26 October, 2019) pp. 470-477
summary	Innovation in parametric design and robotic fabrication is in reciprocal relationship with the investigation of new structural types that facilitated by this technology. The stressed skin structure has historically been used to create lightweight curved structures, mainly in engineering applications such as naval vessels, aircraft, and space shuttles. Stressed skin structures were first referred to by Fairbairn in 1849. In England, the first use of the structure was in the Mosquito night bomber of World War II. In the United States, stressed skin structures were used at the same time, when the Wright Patterson Air Force Base designed and fabricated the Vultee BT-15 fuselage using fiberglass-reinforced polyester as the face material and both glass-fabric honeycomb and balsa wood core. With the renewed interest in wood as a structural building material, due to its sustainable characteristics, new potentials for the use of stressed skin structures made from wood on building scales are emerging. The authors present a material informed system that is characterized by its adaptability to freeform curvature on exterior surfaces. A stressed skin system can employ thinner materials that can be bent in their elastic bending range and then fixed into place, leading to the ability to be architecturally malleable, structurally highly efficient, as well as easily buildable. The interstitial space can also be used for services. Advanced digital fabrication and robotic manufacturing methods further enhance this capability by enabling precisely fabricated tolerances and embedded assembly instructions; these are essential to fabricate complex, multi-component forms. Through a prototypical installation, the authors demonstrate and discuss the technology of the stressed skin structure in wood considering current digital design and fabrication technologies.

title	An Experimental Evaluation of Computer Graphics Imagery
source	ACM Transactions on Graphics, 5, No. 1
summary	Accurate simulation of light propagation within an environment and perceptually based imaging techniques are necessary for the creation of realistic images. A physical experiment that verifies the simulation of reflected light intensities for diffuse environments was conducted. Measurements of radiant energy flux densities are compared with predictions using the radiosity method for those physical environments. By using color science procedures the results of the light model simulation are then transformed to produce a color television image. The final image compares favorably with the original physical model. The experiment indicates that, when the physical model and the simulation were viewed through a view camera, subjects could not distinguish between them. The results and comparison of both test procedures are presented within this paper.

summary	Graduate Institute of Architecture, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu 30050, Taiwan The evolution of design media has kept a close relationship with the development of design methods in the history. Nowadays, different computer media have been used in different stages of the design process. It is to believe that computer media have great impact on the design process and methods. The objective of this paper is to realize the design process and methods when designers use computer modeling to tackle an architectural design problem. The methodologies are non- participant observation and retrospection. The findings of this research prove that media does contribute to the changes in design process and methods. Not only does its conclusion help to better understand properties of different media, but also benefit the development of computer media.

title	Adjacency Structures as Mappings Between Function and Structure in Discrete Static Systems
source	CAAD Futures ‘93 [Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-444-89922-7] (Pittsburgh / USA), 1993, pp. 175-193
summary	We present a graph-based method for mapping between functional requirements and physical structure in discrete static systems. Through forward or backward chaining, this method may be used in a generative mode to suggest instances Of system structure satisfying the desired functionality, or in a parsing mode to uncover the behavior and function of a given system. The graph may be composed from a geometric model, but the method is independent of any specific geometric modelling representation. We focus on the domain of structural systems in buildings to describe this method.

title	Empowering Urban Design Prototyping - A Case Study in Cape Town with Interactive Computational Synthesis Methods
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2017.407

summary	Although Cape Town city in South Africa is generally regarded as the most stable and prosperous city in the region, there are still approximately 7.5 million people living in informal settlements and about 2.5 million housing units are needed. This motivates the so-called Empower Shack project, aiming to develop upgrading strategies for these informal settlements. To facilitate the fulfillment of this project, urban design prototyping tools are researched and developed with the capabilities for fast urban design synthesis. In this paper we present a computational method for fast interactive synthesis of urban planning prototypes. For the generation of mock-up urban layouts, one hierarchical slicing structure, namely, the slicing tree is introduced to abstractly represent the parcels, as an extension of the existing generative method for street network. It has been proved that our methods can interactively assist the urban planning process in practice. However, the slicing tree data structure has several limitations that hinder the further improvement of the generated urban layouts. In the future, the development of a new data structure is required to fulfill urban synthesis for urban layout generation with Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization methods and evaluation strategies should be developed to verify the generated results.

summary	In this paper we discuss the design process that enables the integration of multiple concerns at an early stage of design by combining them into a single field that preconditions the space within which a specific design solution is developed. Our method is closely related to the development of interactive software tools that help the designer form a new intuition about the problem at hand. Two guiding concepts in this endeavour are simplexity [the desire to fine tune and build a system that yields a solution to a specific design problem by collapsing its inherent complexity] and defamiliarization [a side effect of having to represent things as numbers]. To demonstrate our strategy we will present the development of a computational design solution for small scale objects.

title	Working with Multi-scale Material Distributions
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2013.043
source	ACADIA 13: Adaptive Architecture [Proceedings of the 33rd Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-1-926724-22-5] Cambridge 24-26 October, 2013), pp. 43-50
summary	At present, computer aided design (CAD) software has proven ill equipped to manage the spatial variations in material properties. Most digital design packages employ a surface modeling paradigm where a solid object is that which is enclosed by a set of boundaries (known as boundary representations or “B-rep” for short). In surface models, material representations are often treated as homogenous and discrete. Yet, natural materials are capable of structures where the variability of material within a volume is defined at a multiplicity of scales and according to various functional criteria. With the advent of new 3D printing techniques, a new possibility emerges—allowing new multi-material composite objects to be fabricated in a single build volume with a high degree of dimensional accuracy and repeatability. However, a big limitation facing complex high resolution digital fabrication comes from the software’s inability to represent or handle material variability. This paper proposes a new digital interface for working with multi-material distributions at a variety of scales using a rasterization process. Beyond the immediate benefit of precise graduated control over the material distribution within a 3D printed volume, our interface opens new creative opportunities by enabling the use of existing image processing techniques (such as filtering, mapping, etc.) which can be applied to three-dimensional voxel fields. Examples are provided which explore the potential of multi-scale material distributions.

title	Enabling Design Partnerships Through Parametric Design Visualisation: A Case Study of Visual Communication Techniques Implemented on an Infrastructure Design Project Where Partnership With Indigenous Communities was Integral to Success
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.2.211
source	Nicole Gardner, Christiane M. Herr, Likai Wang, Hirano Toshiki, Sumbul Ahmad Khan (eds.), ACCELERATED DESIGN - Proceedings of the 29th CAADRIA Conference, Singapore, 20-26 April 2024, Volume 2, pp. 211–220
summary	Where there is a commitment authentically engage indigenous communities in the design decision process, the relationships and communication methods that are used are an integral part of the design project. In an Aotearoa New Zealand context, mana whenua (the name given to the local indigenous group with historical rights to the land) are engaged at various levels with the Crown on infrastructure projects to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes in alignment with Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Infrastructure projects are communicated using specialist language and drawings, which is often unfamiliar to non-professionals. This is a learning opportunity for non-professional stakeholders and a pre-requisite to holistically understand and therefore meaningfully contribute to a project. This paper describes a case study of the evolving application of computational design as an additive communication technique for consultation sessions with mana whenua. This paper compares 2D documentation, pre-rendered 3D models, and interactive parametric modelling approaches. A major insight gained through this comparison of approaches was that enabling mana whenua to fully engage with a 3D model through interactive parametric modelling was effective in deepening understanding of the project. This deeper understanding of the project and its context could enable them to utilise their tacit knowledge of the land to make important contributions crucial to the project and ensure the project is in alignment with mana whenua values and aspirations.

title	Exploring Design Strategy in Parametric Design to Support Creativity
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2013.489
source	Open Systems: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA 2013) / Singapore 15-18 May 2013, pp. 489-498
summary	This paper deals with the generative and evolutionary aspects of parametric design. We aim to provide a better understanding of individual design strategies to support creativity in parametric design via protocol analysis. An in-depth analysis conceptualises subjects’ creative strategies into two models: problem-driven strategy and solution-driven strategy. The solution-driven strategy progress design in the solution space resulted in the highest value in the level of creativity. This is one of potential aspects of parametric design. Exploring design strategies in parametric design contributes to its effective use.

title	An Experimental Investigation of Latent Heat Storage for Solar cooling Systems using Paraffin Wax
source	De Luca, F, Lykouras, I and Wurzer, G (eds.), Proceedings of the 9th eCAADe Regional International Symposium, TalTech, 15 - 16 June 2023, pp. 55–60
summary	Latent heat thermal energy storage units employ phase change materials to store and release heat at a nearly constant temperature, ensure high heat transfer efficiency, as well as high charge and discharge capacity. Phase change materials (PCMs), allow a more compact, efficient, and therefore economical system to operate. Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems are of growing importance within the energy awareness, because of TES can reduce the levelized cost of electricity of solar cooling systems. This paper proposes a comprehensive methodology where simulations were performed to demonstrate the phase change process of paraffin wax and to improve the effect of PCM modules on the heat transfer process. PCM modules were tested in the laboratory, then their impact on thermal energy storage were determinate. The rise of COP of solar absorption cooling system was calculated.

title	Actuated Textile Hybrids - Textile smocking for designing dynamic force equilibria in membrane structures
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.2.521
source	Sousa, JP, Xavier, JP and Castro Henriques, G (eds.), Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution - Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference - Volume 2, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2019, pp. 521-530
summary	This paper introduces Actuated Textile Hybrids, and describes the steps needed to steer the form finding processes necessary for their production. The method presented employs an integration of an "activated" instead of a pre-stressed textile membrane to design different stages of force equilibrium within the Hybrid Structure, and to investigate the potentials of ever flexible shaping of tensile elements. The set-up for the Textile Hybrid consists of three main elements which are digitally and physically analysed in their inextricable interdependence in force, form and material. Together, the bending active beam (rod), the textile membrane and an applied pattern which actively shrinks surface areas of the membrane (activation), create the base for the form finding process.With advanced Finite Element Modelling software and the architects resulting ability to engineer responsive building-systems for a dynamic environment, it is essential to rethink the construction methods and the building-material of the classic building envelope. This is to not only develop a smartly engineered sustainable skin but also a boundary object which, due to its adaptation, develops the potential to interconnect with its surrounding to re-establish the relationships between nature, home and inhabitant.

summary	This paper examines the topic of transferring technical knowledge in an expedited fashion to designers, and/or students, through various training programs, tools, workflows and protocols, while highlighting the invaluable cost knowledge sharing has on global design institutions and offices. We will revisit the timeless tribulations of the 'educator', acknowledging the inherent limitations associated with transferring technical knowledge from generation to generation within both a design practice and on an academic level. The conceptual design, workflow and construction of 'wasl Tower', UNStudio's latest 308m landmark structure, located in the city center of Dubai, will be referenced as a case-study to illustrate the importance of transferring knowledge within a specific project setting.

summary	The primary issue in northeastern Siberia is the continuing recession of permafrost due to the degraded condition of the grassland ecology, which will amplify global warming. The release of ancient gas stored in the permafrost will accelerate the greenhouse effect and catastrophically affect the health of the planet. The restoration of Pleistocene-like conditions can actively combat this potential danger through gas sequestration in the roots of grasses and a stable layer of permafrost. Once reintroduced to the region, large herd animals will play an integral role in maintaining their own ecosystem. The use of digital sensing and robotics surpasses human capability to create a relationship between these large herding herbivores and the grassland tundra landscape in order to help stabilize and reestablish the Siberian permafrost. Robotic herding rovers tirelessly traverse the vast territory of Siberia equipped with instruments and satellite communication to continuously read and adjust to ground conditions, fostering an emergent ecology. These cooperative technologies aid in the reconstruction of a grassland ecosystem with the ability to prevent permafrost from thawing and potentially mitigate negative consequences of global warming.

summary	Disability is a product of the interactions between individuals and the environment they inhabit and the products they utilize. Disability is located on a continuum from enablement to disablement. Human physical characteristics as well as environmental factors will locate an individual on that continuum. The degree of disability or enablement will fluctuate, depending upon the attributes of the environment and the artifacts located there. The ability of designers and architects to create environments and products that enable all people is directly tied to their ability to: 1. understand the abilities and constraints of the human body and, 2. model the physics of the body’s interactions with artifacts and spaces. // This project is developing an anthropometric measurement protocol and computer-based design tools focusing on people with disabilities and the aging. The areas of interest for measurement are guided by real-world design needs. The measurements generated are translated into three-dimensional datasets compatible with commercial off the shelf software extended by the programming of additional scripts, functions, plug-ins, behaviors, etc.

summary	Using several NBBJ civic projects as case studies, this paper provides an overview of how NBBJ’s Los Angeles design studio is leveraging parametric and generative processes for the design of projects such as stadiums and exposition halls. A combination of ambitious intent and fast project schedules necessitates the use of advanced parametric tools to quickly solve complex problems, generate unique features, and automate parts of the design process. Designers will utilize digital tools for a variety of purposes, which can be classified under two general categories. The first and most common application of the technology is within the category of rationalization and optimization. The tool, in this case, is limited to the role of a production device that aids the designer in efficiently solving complex design problems. In more unique projects, the advanced technology acts as a generative tool and is an integral part of a working design methodology. In this case, the design technology becomes more than just a tool at the designer’s disposal. Rather, it has the potential to act as a critical lens for identifying new possibilities in the architecture.

summary	This paper presents a complex adaptive residential quarter planning software. It is developed using Java object oriented programming language and targeting at configuring the tower-type apartment in a dense area during early design stage. Rules are analyzed and formulated based on building code and zone ordinance. Moreover we develop an agent-based modeling with multi-objective optimization algorithm. In this modeling, each agent acts independently according to the rules that are designed to solve the complex geometric problems that are related to physical constraints. At the end, we present a simulation outcome of a case study.
