summary	Innovation incubator is an emerging kind of office space which focuses on promoting social interaction in the space. From the perspective of environmental behavior, the complex relationship between a particular space form and the social interactions is well worth exploring. Based on Wi-Fi positioning data, this paper examined the spatial and temporal behavior in innovation incubators. Using the interdisciplinary social networks analysis, this paper further analyzed the social interactions in this space, mining out social structures such as gathering and community, and analyzing the relationship between these structures and spaces. The result shows that human behavior in innovation incubators has some interesting characteristics, and the social structures are closely linked with the functional area of innovation incubator. This paper provides a new perspective and introduces interdisciplinary approaches to study the social behaviors in a particular space form, which has great potential in future research.

title	Behavior Analysis and Individual Labeling Using Data from Wi-Fi IPS
source	ACADIA 2017: DISCIPLINES & DISRUPTION [Proceedings of the 37th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-692-96506-1] Cambridge, MA 2-4 November, 2017), pp. 366- 373

summary	It is fairly important for architects and urban designers to understand how different people interact with the environment. However, traditional investigation methods for studying environmental behavior are quite limited in their coverage of samples and regions, which are not sufficient to delve into the behavioral differences of people. Only recently, the development of indoor positioning systems (IPS) and data-mining techniques has made it possible to collect full-time, full-coverage data for behavioral difference research and individualized identification. In our research, the Wi-Fi IPS system is chosen among the various IPS systems as the data source due to its extensive applicability and acceptable cost. In this paper, we analyzed a 60-day anonymized dataset from a ski resort, collected by a Wi-Fi IPS system with 110 Wi-Fi access points. Combining this with mobile phone data and questionnaires, we revealed some interesting characteristics of tourists from different origins through spatial-temporal behavioral data, and further conducted individual labeling through supervised learning. Through this case study, temporal-spatial behavioral data from an IPS system exhibited great potential in revealing individual characteristics besides exploring group differences, shedding light on the prospect of architectural space personalization.

title	The Future of Environmental Performance Architectural Design Based on Human-Computer Interaction - Prediction Generation Based on Physical Wind Tunnel and Neural Network Algorithms
source	M. Haeusler, M. A. Schnabel, T. Fukuda (eds.), Intelligent & Informed - Proceedings of the 24th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 2, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand, 15-18 April 2019, pp. 633-642
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2019.2.633
summary	As the medium of the environment, a building's environment performance-based generative design cannot be separated from intelligent data processing. Sustainable building design should seek an optimized form of environmental performance through a complete set of intelligent induction, autonomous analysis and feedback systems. This paper analyzed the trends in architectural design development in the era of algorithms and data and the status quo of building generative design based on environmental performance, as well as highlighting the importance of physical experiments. Furthermore, a design method for self-generating environmental performance of urban high-rise buildings by applying artificial intelligence neural network algorithms to a customized physical wind tunnel is proposed, which mainly includes a morphology parameter control and environmental data acquisition system, code translation of environmental evaluation rules and architecture of a neural network algorithm model. The design-oriented intelligent prediction can be generated directly from the target environmental requirements to the architectural forms.

title	Research on Physical Wind Tunnel and Dynamic Model Based Building Morphology Generation Method
source	T. Fukuda, W. Huang, P. Janssen, K. Crolla, S. Alhadidi (eds.), Learning, Adapting and Prototyping - Proceedings of the 23rd CAADRIA Conference - Volume 2, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, 17-19 May 2018, pp. 165-174
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2018.2.165
summary	The change of the building morphology directly affects the surrounding environment, while the evaluation of these environment data becomes the main basis for the genetic iterations of the building morphology. Indeed, due to the complexity of the outdoor natural ventilation, multiple factors in the site could be the main reasons for the change of air flow. Thus, the architect is suggested to take the wind environment as the main morphology generation factor in the early stage of the building design. Based on the research results of 2017 DigitalFUTURE Wind Tunnel Visualization Workshop, a novel self-form-finding method in design infancy has been proposed. This method uses Arduino to carry out the dynamic design of the building model, which can not only connect the sensor to monitor the wind environment data, but also contribute the building model to correlate with the wind environment data in real time. The integration of the Arduino platform and the physical wind tunnel can create the possibility of continuous and real-time physical changes, data collection and wind environment simulation, using quantitative environmental factors to control building morphology, and finally achieve the harmony among the building, environment and human.

title	High-rise Building Group Morphology Generation Approach based on Wind Environmental Performance
source	Ji-Hyun Lee (Eds.) "Hello, Culture!" [18th International Conference, CAAD Futures 2019, Proceedings / ISBN 978-89-89453-05-5] Daejeon, Korea, p. 185
summary	In the urbanization process, high-rise is favored and popularized? while results to the high-density urban space which aggravated the deterioration of urban wind environment. Using quantifiable environmental factors to control the building, is promoting a more meaningful group formation of the sustainable high-rise buildings. Thus, taking wind performance into account in high-rise design infancy is essential. According to the achievement of CAADRIA2018 “SELF-FORM-FINDING WIND TUNNEL TO ENVIRONMENTAL-PERFORMANCE URBAN AND BUILDING DESIGN” workshop, a preliminary set related to the environmental performance urban morphology generation system and method was constructed. In this study, various of high-rise building forms that might be conducive to urban ventilation were selected, such as “hollow-out”, “twisting”, “façade retracting” and “liftup”, to design the Dynamic Model System with multi-dimensional motion.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.1.343
summary	This paper presents a novel language-driven and artificial intelligence-based architectural design method. This new method demonstrates the ability of neural networks to integrate the language of form through written texts and has the potential to interpret the texts into sustainable architecture under the topic of the coexistence between technologies and humans. The research merges natural language processing, computer vision, and human-machine interaction into a machine learning-to-design workflow. This article encompasses the following topics: 1) an experiment of rethinking writing in architecture through anexact form as rhetoric; 2) an integrative machine learning design method incorporating Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 model and Attentional Generative Adversarial Networks for sustainable architectural production with unique spatial feeling; 3) a human-machine interaction framework for model generation and detailed design. The whole process is from inexact to exact, then finally anexact, and the key result is a proof-of-concept project: Anexact Building, a mixed-use building that promotes sustainability and multifunctionality under the theme of post-carbon. This paper is of value to the discipline since it applies current and up-to-date digital tools research into a practical project.

title	Genetic Algorithm-Based Building Geometric Opening Configurations Optimization for Enhancing Ventilation Performance in the High-Density Urban District
source	Immanuel Koh, Dagmar Reinhardt, Mohammed Makki, Mona Khakhar, Nic Bao (eds.), HUMAN-CENTRIC - Proceedings of the 28th CAADRIA Conference, Ahmedabad, 18-24 March 2023, pp. 251–260
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2023.1.251
summary	The quality of the outdoor environment relates to urban ventilation performance. Poor wind conditions in high-density urban districts may lead to severe air pollution and deteriorate outdoor thermal comfort. The increase of openings in building geometry is one of the effective passive design strategies for enhancing the porosity of urban morphology and benefitting urban ventilation. However, the outdoor wind environment correlates with the opening configurations of building geometry complicatedly. For seeking the optimal opening configurations, a decision support tool is urgently needed. Our study proposes a genetic algorithm-based optimization workflow for the opening configurations of building geometry design by integrating Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation and parametric design. A residential block in Shenzhen, China is chosen as an example to show this workflow. The results demonstrate that when the porosity is 15%, the pedestrian-level mean wind speed, the wind speed dispersion, and the pressure difference between the front and rear of the downstream building can be optimized by 20.00%, 19.35%, and 183.33% on maximum. When the porosity is increased to 30%, these values are 42.22%, 16.13%, and 483.33%. The resultant opening distribution probability maps can support building design at an early stage to achieve a comfortable urban environment.

summary	This article discusses some methodologies in art education in schools and educational activities in museums. It focuses on accessibility and in the visually impaired rights to access and improve the experiences and repertoire in artistic languages, recognizing the use of new technologies in the field of digital manufacturing as valuable resources for the production of teaching materials with the use of cheaper and accessible technology, which expands the access to cultural institutions and education. Considering that most of the museums art works are not to be touched, 3D printing reproductions in durable low cost plastic present as an alternative for tactile experience. In addition, the photogrammetric 3D scanning process and digital editing allow for the creation of isolated parts and materials originated from the art piece, broadening the pedagogical possibilities of art educators. The production of didactic material for arts teaching, with the use of 3D printed copies (edited or not) originated from 3D scans, may help revealing a more subtle and sophisticated aspect of artistic narrative to the public and the visually impaired.

title	A Multi-Agent Model for Generating Local Land-Use Plans in the Context of an Urban Planning Support System
source	Van Leeuwen, J.P. and H.J.P. Timmermans (eds.) 2006, Progress in Design & Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning, Eindhoven: Eindhoven University of Technology, ISBN-10: 90-386-1756-9, ISBN-13: 978-90-386-1756-5, p. 153-168
summary	In a multi-player urban planning process, the outcome of any individual decision of the actors is uncertain until a state where the plan is satisfactory for all. To support the plan generation phase, this paper develops a generic multi-agent system, in which agents represent particular land-uses. In the system, agents higher in the hierarchy have priority over agents lower in the hierarchy to claim units of land. This one-direction claim process may result in a plan that is not optimal for every agent. The system, therefore, allows agents to revise their plans in an iterative procedure. A case study illustrates centralized, semi-centralized and decentralized solutions for a plan area based on the outcomes of different strategies used by facility agents (retail, green, schools) and a housing agent. The results show that the proposed system is able to generate rational and realistic plan alternatives for new residential areas.

summary	Addressing the issue of building re-use, this paper reports on the development of a re-design tool, which aims at helping students and novices (and even experienced architects) in understanding design decisions that have steered existing re-design projects. Furthermore the tool tries to support designers in using this understanding in their own design projects. The paper starts by situating the re-design tool within the overall research setup, and continues by motivating the observations that have led to developing this tool. The core of the paper describes the re-design tool itself and illustrates it with a concrete example. Finally, the tool is framed within the wider context of (architectural) design research, so as to explore where the tool accords or collides with generally accepted design theories.

summary	Observation of the design process of an architect shows that, while building up an argumentation for taking a design decision, different mechanisms of data transformation are used. The paper argues that this transformation is a key element in understanding architectural design processes. A theoretical description of these mechanisms forms the framework to discus a sequence of design decisions derived from a real-world design situation. After outlining how this can be implemented in a case-based design supporting tool, the paper concludes with a discussion of advantages and downsides the use of the tool might entail.

summary	This research is producing digital cartographic models of the urban space of Rome, NY. Workingbetween two software packages for spatial visualization that are now ubiquitous in architecture (FormZ)and geography (ArcView), the project takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding howavailable data sources and modes of visualization enable or discourage particular understandings ofurban space. The project is designed specifically to work within, and develop, a critique of theconstraints of the two software packages. Rather than encouraging a deceptively smooth integration ofwhat may be fundamentally incommensurable forms of knowledge, this project begins with the premisethat vocabularies and conceptions of space vary considerably in various disciplines, as do the modes ofvisualization that each has developed to represent, document, examine, and produce space.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.2.021
summary	The COVID-19 pandemic has immense impact on our daily life. Precautions like facemasks and social distancing restrict the economy as well as the social life. The aim of the bachelor project was to support architects by integrating health specifications into a software environment and automatically derive specific design support by analyzing architecture. This interdisciplinary project combined architectural and medical expertise to determine the risk of SARS-CoV-2-infection in enclosed spaces by a software approach on basis of parameters provided by the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (Mainz, Germany) and the Association of German Engineers. Subsequently, calculated risks were evaluated by hygiene experts and summarized in a traffic light scheme, which is clearly intelligible and thus allows simple use. Furthermore, the software concept provides instructions for action for architects and specialists in the field of infection control and suggests architectural tools to minimize the risk of infection. The developed concept can be applied to an existing building and contribute to the planning of new buildings.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2006.190
summary	This paper presents a case study of the use of Wikis by students in a landscape architecture design studio to evaluate the suitability of Wikis for enhancing student collaboration in the site analysis and preliminary design stage of a project. It was anticipated that using Wikis to facilitate collaboration would provide alternatives to conventional peer to peer collaboration. In addition, Wikis could enhance feedback between the course coordinator and students. The Wiki was used to collect, compile and present data for the purpose of a precedent study of cultural and physical analysis of a site in New Zealand, for which the technology proved successful. The Wiki was less successful in contributing to the collaborative preliminary design of the project. The following discussion and presentation will include the evaluation of online Wiki services, the process used in the design studio, strengths and weaknesses observed, and opportunities for future research.

summary	Frank O. Gehry, born in 1929, founded his own architectural firm in Los Angeles in 1962, and since the building of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, he is undoubtedly among the ranks of international architecture superstars. His buildings are complex constructions, with curves and distortions, skilful plastic shapes which never cease to surprise with their breath-taking spatial effects. To create these daring designs, Gehry makes extensive use of the latest electronic tools, physical models are transformed into digital models using software and hardware which has been adapted from the space industry and medical research. This book provides a colourful insight into Gehry's design methods and the creative process behind his fantastic buildings.

summary	Hybrid robot systems that cooperate with live organisms is an active area of research, in part to leverage biological advantages such as adaptivity, resilience, and sustainability. Formica Forma explores new possibilities of codesigning and cofabricating in partnership with Western Harvester ants to build forms that would be challenging with industrial techniques. Using a robotically controlled UV light (350–405 nm) as an environmental stimulus to bias digging behavior, we guide 600 ants to dig ~141 cm of tunnels in transparent ant gel over 646 hours. Predictability, fidelity to the UV source, repeatability, dig efficiency, amount of ant activity, and tunnel preference were studied. The resulting branching tunnels were cast in silicone to demonstrate the ability to harness this in subtractive fabrication with inexpensive, self-maintaining biological fabricators. Results showed that ants can follow the UV light as a path guide (when the light is moving) or target it as a goal (when the light is both moving and static), with longer digging effect from the moving UV stimulus. Ants showed high fidelity to the light path, aligning their tunnel direction exactly with changes in the UV position, tuning the fabrication in real-time with environmental alterations. Population size did not seem to affect digging speed or efficiency, and the ants’ preexisting preferences factored into which tunnels were dug out. The research develops a hybrid biodigital way of working with biological swarms where the individual agency and the intrinsic stochasticity of the system offer possibilities in real-time adaptability and programmability through environmental templating.

title	Extracting Actionable Information from the Site Context Using A Phenotype-Based Strategy

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.1.323
summary	As more computational design tools are developed, solution generation has been accelerated to provide real time feedback. However, a human designer is still required to translate generated data into actionable information. This is especially so for diverse design scenarios, where the data structure differs, and the computer is unable to draw conclusions across both scenarios. The site context is one key parameter that contributes towards the difference in scenarios. In short, how can an algorithm extract design-related information from diverse scenarios? To address this issue, a phenotype-based strategy is proposed as a representation method, and it re-parameterises diverse site conditions by focusing on their geometrical properties. Instead of parameterising the site context, street-view images are captured, and Gabor filters extract relevant geometrical properties, such that site conditions with different compositions, forms, and density can be organised. This method quantifies compositional and density-based properties of the surrounding building blocks, thereby enabling the computer to digest generated information and provide design suggestions. A new sample site is then used to demonstrate a query of the phenotype space, where suggestions about solar radiation performance is feedback to a human designer.
