title	BEYOND ANALYSIS AND REPRESENTATION IN CAD: A NEW COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH TO DESIGN EDUCATION
source	Submitted to the Department of Architecture in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Architecture: Design & Computation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
summary	This thesis aims at changing students' attitude towards the use of computer-aided design (CAD) in architecture. It starts from the premise that CAD is used mostly for analysis and representation, and not as a real design aide, and that architecture students have a bias against learning computer programming. For this purpose, a prototypical instruction system that mixes computer-aided design and computational design theory was developed, based on a series of fundamental concepts that are common to both fields. This system was influenced by Mitchell's (1987) The Art of Computer Graphics Programming and Stiny's (1976) shape grammars. Despite being based on solid theoretical foundations, CAD has progressively become an exclusively practical tool, since its origins in the 50's and 60's, while computational design theories have been mostly restricted to the academic circles. This thesis proposes an inversion in the present situation: the study of CAD theory, and the application of computational design into practice. The system proposed provides a conceptual framework that can be adapted to different circumstances, including course formats and resources, as well as students' background and technical training. It is based on seven fundamental concepts from computational design theories that are also important to the study of shape grammars: symmetry, recursion, rule-based compositions, parameterization of shapes, generative systems, algorithmization of design procedures, and shape emergence. These concepts are introduced within a CAD context, where their practical implementation and experimentation are possible, focusing the understanding of the computational nature of design. During this research, the proposed system was tested in two case studies with students from schools that had contrary orientations in terms of the importance of CAD in the architectural curriculum. In these experimental courses, students' activities evolved from using a commercial CAD tool in an innovative way, to the use of programming techniques for creating meaningful tools. Despite not having a statistical reach, the fieldwork allowed drawing preliminary conclusions about the proposed system's efficacy, since virtually all the students reported changing their understanding of the role of CAD in architecture, while some also acknowledged a conceptual influence in other subjects and in the way they see architecture.

title	Automated Generation of Layouts and Budgets: Development and Application from Written Programming and Parametric Modeling
source	Gomez, P and Braida, F (eds.), Designing Possibilities - Proceedings of the XXV International Conference of the Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi 2021), Online, 8 - 12 November 2021, pp. 759–770
summary	The article aims to demonstrate the applicability of the use of programming in the formation of floor plans in the initial design of the architectural layouts of houses of social interest and to evaluate the possible cost of building these proposals. The development of the algorithm follows known programming rules and structures written in a visual modeling and programming software, in addition to using the methods of stochastic search, shape grammar, CUG (geometric unit cost) and CUB (basic unit cost). As a result, it was possible to develop space layouts that resemble the rooms of a single-family home and calculate their possible construction cost. The use of the complete process also brings the discussion of the use of technologies and automated processes within current design practices, demonstrating how the use of these technologies can enhance the imagination and present compositions and quantitative results not envisioned by the designers.

summary	Advances in computational tools have provided new ways to think, design, and produce architecture. This allows for the development and expansion of the architectural project's potential, as well as narrowing the connections of a proposal related to sensitive interpretations of the place. Thus, this article investigates the connection between the use of these tools that help formulate ideas, methods, and languages in the design process and visually presents the relationship between computational tools and the phenomena of the place. This analysis was based on bibliographic reviews that looked at computational tools that might be related to the place phenomenon. Consequently, a visual matrix that can assess the integration and positive correlation between digital technologies and phenomenological theories was devised, in addition to constructing an optimistic counterpoint, demonstrating that the architect can approach the environment or phenomenon through computational tools.

title	A Low-cost Sensor for Slope and Risk Areas Monitoring: Using a Digital Twin for Landslide Prevention
source	García Amen, F, Goni Fitipaldo, A L and Armagno Gentile, Á (eds.), Accelerated Landscapes - Proceedings of the XXVII International Conference of the Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi 2023), Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay, 29 November - 1 December 2023, pp. 1443–1454
summary	The objective of this research is to create a prototype of a low-cost remote sensing system for capturing data in slope areas at risk of landslides or movement to monitor and prevent disasters caused by landslides and enable remote monitoring in informal settlements. Therefore, the collected data can be used as a management tool by the government and citizens, also through a prototype of a digital twin. For the development, the following steps were considered: (1) data collection on the digital twins, software, and hardware needed to build the device; (2) sensor development through open-source electronic platforms; and (3) conducting tests to identify sensor improvements and programs. Through the sensor prototype, it became possible to collect landslide data on-site, thus revealing a direct alignment between real-world observations and the data collected by the sensor.

title	Autonomous parametric process for daylight simulation applied to the proposal of a daylighting of buildings performance tool
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. 534-540
summary	The openings features definition, considering the obstructions influence caused by the urban environment, are extremely relevant for the daylit buildings design. The complexity of the daylight phenomenon and the need to estimate its performance spread the use of parametric simulation and simulation programs. Thus, this article aims to create a parametric process, derived from a digital process, capable of simulating and registering the performance of daytime construction in different urban scenarios in an automated way. This process made it possible to generate a series of data capable of producing tools for understanding the phenomenon of natural daylight.

summary	This article deals with the use of the characteristics of fractal linear geometry and the different knowledge related to the application of its patterns in architectural elements, considering their compositional potentialities. For this, a theoretical and practical trajectory was developed, such as understanding the characteristics of fractal geometry and the existing software and methods for its reproduction. As a result, a parametric process was developed that allows to recreate fractal patterns in architectural elements, making it possible to identify the necessary steps for their elaboration, identifying the potentialities of their use and the skills necessary to reproduce similar parametric processes.

title	Material Performance of Solid Wood:Paresite, The Environmental Summer Pavilion
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2014.2.139
source	Thompson, Emine Mine (ed.), Fusion - Proceedings of the 32nd eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, Department of Architecture and Built Environment, Faculty of Engineering and Environment, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, UK, 10-12 September 2014, pp. 139-144
summary	The Paresite - The Environmental Summer Pavilion designed for reSITE festival, is a möbius shaped structure, built from torsed pine wood planks in triangular grid with half cm thin pine wood triangular sheets that provide shadow and evaporate moisture in dry weather. The sheets, cut in a tangential section, interact with humidity by warping themselves, allowing air circulation for the evaporation in arid conditions. The design was accomplished in Grasshopper for Rhino in combination with Rhino and afterwards digitally fabricated. This interdisciplinary project involved students from the Architectural Institute in Prague (ARCHIP) and the students of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (FLD CZU). The goal was to design and build a pavilion from a solid pine wood in order to analyse its material properties and reactions to the environment and to accommodate functions for reSITE festival. The design was prepared within half term studio course and completed in June 2013 on Karlovo Square in Prague where it hosted1600 visitors during festival weekend.

summary	The general thematic of our work tackles the question of the generative design tool efficiency to stimulate a creative architectural conception in the context of sustainable development. We focus our point of view on the conceptual research phases. We would like to characterise the human creative mechanisms in a situation of generative assistance where digital tool reveals some degree of autonomy and incorporates environmental constraints. Thus, we implement an evolutionary design tool in which energetic performances of the analogon are used in order to orient the evolution. Our tool is based on an interactive genetic algorithm that ensures both a broad exploration of the solutions space and the subjective user preferences accounting. Users groups were confronted to the tool in a conception situation and creativity was evaluated and characterized.

summary	To generate models of branched and reticular urban layouts, under three different forms of growth (linear, radial, strips), a program designed on AutoLISP Æ for the AutoCAD Æ V-2000 has been proposed. The generated models are both graphical as well as mathematical, and for each case are produced, considering the two variables assumed as inputs: the number of houses and the number of grouping units. The mathematical data is automatically saved in a MSExcel Æ spreadsheet created through a direct connection established from the AutoCAD Æ V-2000.

summary	The Hypertext on Barcelona was realized within the interuniversity scientific research "La Produzione dei circuiti multimediali didattici per l'architettura e l'urbanistica" (The production of multimedia didactic circuits for architecture and urban planning), coordinator Prof. Paola Coppola Pignatelli - Dipartimento di Progettazione Architettonica e Urbana- Facoltà di Architettura, Università "La Sapienza", Roma, Italia. During the numerous debates on the relationship between multimedia and communication of the project a long list of problems emerged: the understanding and the management of explorable fields opened by these new media; the informative overflow that can introduce irrelevant information; the "interactive" anxiousness that produces a continuous jumping from one theme to another without any understanding; the identification of the right contents of a multimedia product, that requires an elaborate culture of media languages; the education of the users on new models of learning. From the debates emerged in short a principal point: the necessity to study and to experiment a "multimedia tool" able of transmitting knowledge not through a simple sum of data but through a group of information. If every single tool has -its own characteristics and if the combinations are not automatic, then the modes and contents should be examined. Is it possible therefore to invent a strategy of communication?

summary	The structure of major European cities was formed in recent years more by stratification of different patterns, as it seems, than by urban planning. Moreover traditional analytical tools - such as cartography, which defines and symbolizes static data and their spatial connections - are not able to decode any more the image of cities. Modern city means not only static form, as public space is not a simple function. city includes movement, temporary objects, changing perceptions, fluxes. Therefore hypertexts could he a chance of building up and propagate a real knowledge about modern city. an effective action to reach qualification and management of urban spaces through citizens direct involvement in the city construction. A hypertext on the Rome quarter "Esquilino" has been carried out as an open structure, to probe the new representation method trough the construction of the real "image" of the quarter, gathering different information as historical, geographic and socioeconomical data, urban projects, citizens proposals.

doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/s44223-022-00001-0
source	Architectural Intelligence Journal
summary	Many in the design community have long claimed that digital mass-customization is cheaper, faster, smarter and more environmentally sustainable than the mechanical mass-production of standardized industrial products; and that the electronic transmission of information is cheaper, faster, smarter, and more environmentally sustainable than the mechanical transportation of people and goods. The global pandemic has tragically proven that a computational alternative to the modern, mechanical way of making, working, and living, now exists, and it is viable. When we had to shut down corporate offices, global megafactories, suburban shopping malls, and intercontinental airports, we did. We did because we had to; but also because today's technology already allows us to do so.

title	Imag(in)e nature: imaging energetic footprint of urban environments through multispectral data acquisition
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/s44223-024-00052-5
source	Architectural Intelligence Journal
summary	The Vibrant Fields project endeavors to construct novel representational tectonics of urbanization, aiming to comprehend the materiality of forms and the genesis of multispectral relations within complex information systems governing the interplay of atmospheric and embodied energy cycles in the biosphere. This project asserts that any perceivable condition of nature arises from dynamic processes that transcend human sensory perception. The project observes the simultaneous realities and temporalities of urban field information within its ecological context. It investigates the architecture, technology, flora, and fauna of cities in relation to their geographic, geological, and ecological conditions, analyzing multiple temporal historical and geological scales. Inspired by theoretical biology, the project models the urban environment as a systemic entity characterized by modularity, representing the biosphere's dynamic interplay of chemical and physical elements engaged in information exchange within ecological systems, influenced by technology, geography, and atmospheric conditions. Vibrant Fields utilizes layers of observation systems to translate the complex biosphere into dimensionally reduced data streams. It introduces complementary devices, bridging the gap between global and local data to better understand microclimatic phenomena.

doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-8405-3_25
source	Proceedings of the 2023 DigitalFUTURES The 5st International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2023)
summary	OTTO (Orthographic Trans-territorial Operator) is a sensory device that collects data on the urban environment through multi-spectral sensing to study urban energy flows. We hypothesize that urban nature and energy are a combination of biological and technological factors that interact in a symbiotic environmental cycle. By examining their relationships, we can gain insight into the impact of climate change. OTTO aims to create a high-res survey of the urban environment by using a new combination of multi-spectral bands. This research maps the relationship between urban form and energy exchange to gain a deeper understanding of urban microclimates through multiple types of energy data.

summary	Real estate development may benefit from a decision-support software system that is implemented with Building Information Modelling to perform Quadruple Net Value Analysis. Schemes may be created rapidly using BIM and parametric modeling. They may be assessed for economic, social, and environmental factors using spreadsheets and simulation software. They may be assessed for sensory value by using an immersive visualization system. The idea has been tested as a proof of concept in undergraduate and graduate design studios. It appears to be easy to use for students and effective in directing attention to the four factors and obtaining objective measurements.

summary	We argue that a re-integration of computer technology into a design curriculum is possible without necessarily displacing traditional subjects or time-honored notions of building and place. An ideal computer curriculum might be one that merges computer technologies into existing courses more progressively than is typical today and at the same time looks to the studio teaching method as a catalyst for shifting perspectives on the relevant areas of design theory and methods. This position paper asserts a framework for a design educational program which integrates the use of computer technology. In posing such a curriculum, this position paper also attempts to work within some professional accreditation constraints that Schools may need to address.

summary	According to eCAADe’s mission, the exchange and collaboration within the area of computer aided architectural design education and research, while respecting the pedagogical and administrative approaches in the different schools and countries, can be regarded as a core activity. The current education session follows up on a round table discussion held at eCAADe 2000 in Weimar, Germany, which was continued in the form of a plenary session at eCAADe 2001, focusing on sharing ideas on a more progressive curriculum under the topic “The Ideal Computer Curriculum”. The primary objective for the 2002 education session is to engage participants in an active discussion, not the longer format presentation of prepared positions. The round-table itself is limited to short opening statements so as to ensure time is allowed for viewpoints to be exchanged and for the conference attendees to weigh in on the issues discussed. The panel will critique current patterns teaching of computer aided design in schools of architecture, a review of past practices with the potential for guiding future direction.

title	Programming Architectural Geometry and CNC: Advancing A Design Paradigm with Mathematical Abstraction
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2003.337
source	Digital Design [21th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-1-6] Graz (Austria) 17-20 September 2003, pp. 337-342
summary	Direct computer programming of architectural geometry and of CNC tool pathways can control the fabrication of form and the related treatment of material. When the entire form creation and tool path process is taken on as a design problem, there is potentially a closer link between formal design intentions and their physical realization. This paper describes several case studies that engage computer programming as a first stage in an iterative design process coupled with more explicit control over CNC tool paths. It indirectly critiques the design exploration of geometry where there is only user command control over a CAD system and where the specification of CNC pathways is also less explicit. Examples of different strategies are compared in the same educational context.
