title	TouchControl: An interactive multi-touch 3D design tool
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2011.279

summary	Today’s architectural design is changing rapidly through the scope of new digital design tools (software like parametrical modelers) on the one and the use of digitally controlled fabrication techniques (hardware like 3D CNC-milling) on the other side. However the full intuitive and experimental potential of the software has to be accessed through the sometimes limiting bottleneck of the traditional mouse-screen user interface although alternative interaction methods like multi-touch became available. This paper focuses on extending the usability and spontaneity in a common architectural design process using an iPad as an external hardware controller.

summary	Music and architecture share not only phenomenological similarities in relation to their characteristics - like volume, timbre, tone pitch, instrumentation vs. geometry, materiality, light ambiance or perspective - but imply as well comparability in the process of creation. The investigation of digital tools that cross borders between music and architecture was the starting point for the research project „Mixer Modeling“. Against this background the paper discusses the transformation of a musical composition controller into an intuitive design tool for the generation of architectural geometries. In the same amount that the use of a MIDI-controller increases the degrees of freedom for the simultaneous activation of various parameters the definition of geometric dependencies on the level of visual programming become more important for the resulting geometry.

summary	Cities are seen as open platforms, in which citizens should be able to access information and propose, discuss and modify public policies without having to go through institutional and technocratic control. Systems based on collaborative platforms, such as Linux and Waze, are studied as experiences where user participation creates solutions that no centralized institutions are able to achieve, and looked at for references to build and manage platforms on which city planning could be based.

summary	The expanding use of computers in developing countries - alongside the results of surveys revealing dramatic social indicators for illiteracy - demands careful analysis of the necessary education and training for people to be able to take part and to survive in the information society.”For a citizen of international society, it is no longer enough to know how to read and write, or to have learned a skill. One must have access to information, know how to look for it and find it, master the usage, organize it, understand its organizational forms and, above all, make appropriate, adequate and effective use of it. “ (Spitz, 2000). In this article we raise issues concerning the use of the Internet by low-income classes in Brazil, aiming at discussing the fundamental role Design plays in terms of the inclusion of people from these classes in the inter-connected society.

title	Temporary shelter design from a digital-analog design process: Habitable emergent solution for operational resilience
source	SIGraDi 2018 [Proceedings of the 22nd Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Brazil, São Carlos 7 - 9 November 2018, pp. 1264-1271
summary	This work proposes an emerging habitable solution for families with children receiving attention in a public hospital, which do not include a shelter service for them. In this case of study, an informal settlement has grown for years in the surroundings of the hospital. The phenomenon is identified and analyzed, the variables activating the resilience systems and the self-organization capacities of those affected, to generate alternative solutions within an evolved vision that improve the emotional and habitability conditions of the families living in the settlement. The methodological process is composed of five stages: Diagnosis, analysis-synthesis, design determinants and design alternatives.

title	The Design of Buildings which Have Complex Mechanical Infrastructure using Expert Systems
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.1985.052
source	ACADIA Workshop ‘85 [ACADIA Conference Proceedings] Tempe (Arizona / USA) 2-3 November 1985, pp. 52-68
summary	This paper presents a project under development at the University of Karlsruhe in which the author took part for two years. The aim of this project which was supported by the German Research Association (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) is to find better methods for the design of buildings having complex mechanical systems like laboratories, office buildings, schools, hospitals. etc. The design of the mechanical infrastructure in such buildings is as important as the design of other architectural or construction parts. The fundamental idea of the project is to consider design problems of the mechanical system as part of the design of the architectural and structural concepts of the entire building. This is based on the belief that the use of an expert system containing computer programs for the solution of design problems can support the whole design procedure and that the design of buildings having complex mechanical infrastructure can be qualitatively better and more efficient than the design with traditional methods.

title	Construction problems as Tiling Puzzles
source	1986? [21] p. : ill. includes bibliography
summary	The design of building construction parts often means design synthesis: complex parts will be generated gradually by smaller subparts or elements. Since construction parts are three dimensional geometrical objects and many of them are built from mutually connected elements, one can find analogies between building puzzles and construction design. Tiling puzzles are a special kind of building puzzles whose elements pave the plane or space or a certain part of these. This paper is concerned with the connection between tiling problems and the design of construction parts of prefabricated building systems. Most of these problems are of combinatorial nature; many of them can be tackled only by computers

summary	At the last conference we emphasized, that the presentation had to transport the whole project. This time we will present adequate methods of computer aided spatial simulation in education and practice that promote spatial imagination in the design process and the suggestive power of a presentation, while we still bear in mind the unity and the reciprocal influence of the design process and the presentation, that is spatial imagination and spatial simulation. Working on the computer first of all means to choose the appropriate software tool to exploit different aspects of specialized software from mathematical constructions to emotional experiences and from interaction to immersion.

summary	Simultaneity is everywhere. Our sensual perception is simultaneous in many ways. Not only do we see, hear, smell and feel simultaneously, we see and hear with two ears and two eyes at the same time and we feel with an infinite number of receptors throughout the whole body. Even with one single sense we perceive different things simultaneously. We listen to people talking while at the same time we listen to the traffic. At the same time we carefully watch the street while we also look at the traffic signs. While everyday life is full of diverse simultaneity, Computer Aided Design Animations usually are not. Dependant on difficulties with distortions and eye movement in perspective projections we got used to planar perspective projections that demand the viewer to look exclusively at the center. We also know that no viewer follows this rule so we usually limit the view angle to reduce distortion as far as possible. In general we get to see an angle of about sixty degrees which is far less than the one hundred and eighty degrees of only one of our eyes.

title	Mental modelling - CAAD for translating verbal scientific hypotheses about architecture
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.701
source	Dokonal, W, Hirschberg, U and Wurzer, G (eds.), Digital Design Reconsidered - Proceedings of the 41st Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe 2023) - Volume 2, Graz, 20-22 September 2023, pp. 701–710
summary	Reconsidering CAAD, it can be stated that the technical possibilities are no longer an obstacle to accomplishing what one wants to achieve. The reflection and the discourse now concern rather the product that is produced with its aid. The second digital turn is thus one back to the matter. The digital is ubiquitous. But this does not apply to its teaching by a long shot. Here, it is essential to continueto reflect on the specifics of the digital, above all the danger of automatisms. Nevertheless, at the core of the research on the use of the CAAD is the content, and here the authors have developed a method for visualising uncertainty in the knowledge of archaeology, historical building research and art history. It is a translation of vague verbal hypotheses into the visual. This is obviously done via CAAD, since the hypotheses are statements about space, about architecture. What is special about this method is the balance between scientificity and vividness. Usually, a great adherence to scientificity leads to schematic diagrams, far from any architectural expression, informative but not immersive. Vivid visualisations, on the other hand, are usually speculatively charged life pictures, based in a scientific statement, but enriched by pure fantasy to such an extent that the scientific content is either drowned out or even distorted. The way in which the authors translate scientific statements into the visual therefore utilises two traditional and genuine sub-disciplines of architecture, model building and photography. While the CAAD model follows the scientific hypothesis in its abstraction, it is the rules of architectural photography that create a vivid and thus architecturally interpretable vision from this abstract geometry. The distinctive characteristic is that CAAD is not used to construct or simulate architecture, but to translate verbal hypotheses, so basically it is Computer Aided Mental Modelling.

title	The Presentation is the Project
source	Environmental Simulation - New Impulses in Planning Processes [Proceedings of the 5th European Architectural Endoscopy Association Conference / ISBN 3-922602-85-1]
summary	Projects which have not been realised live only in the imagination – at first in the heads of the builders, architects and planners and later in the heads of the general public. Sooner or later, the idea takes on the form of a presentation and here vividness is a decisive factor in the persuasive power of the project itself. Architectural visualisation draws on the experience of photography and painting and employs their instruments and techniques to generate a suggestion of reality. The preliminary planning of a visualisation means working out the essential aspects of a project.

title	Living Clay
source	Proceedings of the 8th European Architectural Endoscopy Association Conference
summary	The aim of architectural visualization is an illustrative representation of architecture. Existing methods may be classified in two directions: realistic versus abstract and three dimensional versus two dimensional. This has been the field of activity until the computer aided design came up. In digital work the dimensions are transitional, a mixture of three and two dimensional work came out to be an efficient way to serve a multitude of visual attractions. But with the multitude problems arose. Stylistic uncertainties that continuously discredit the computer aided work. Our essay "living clay" intends to show an alternative approach to combine the advantages of the analog and the digital world without interfering with contemporary stylistic developments.

title	Visualisation of Uncertainty in Archaeological Reconstructions
source	Projecting Spaces [Proceedings of the 9th European Architectural Endoscopy Association Conference / ISBN 978-3-942411-31-8 ], pp. 45-52
summary	Archaeological research begins with historical remains and ends with hypotheses that base on analogies and probabilities. Well conserved remains allow a more fundamental reconstruction even in three dimensions whereas sometimes there are only vague contours. Therefore the visualisation of e.g. an ancient city only partly relies on research, other parts can be entirely hypothetic. Static models are incapable of representing both at the same time: the hypothesis and the uncertainty implied. In most cases the uncertainty varies within a hypothesis, parts of a city or building are more likely than others, some hypotheses even contradict each other. Grades of uncertainty require an adequate visual reprentation in order to visually explain hypothesis and uncertainty. In the field of archaeology an adequate method has not been established yet. In this work we explore the application of methods of architectural visualisation in order to express scientific uncertainty gradually between reconstruction and hypothesis. During the last two years we worked on several archaeological sites with emphasis on the ancient Pergamon.

summary	Computer visualizations of planned built environment and infrastructures are increasingly used as a basis for democratic decisions when the impact of the projects is of wide-ranging interests and influence. It is of great importance for the democratic process that all aspects of the material in a project can be trusted as a basis for discussion and decisions among politicians and citizens. This paper describes the objective aspects of the quality of data in the information basis for 3D visualizations and it calculates the precision that can be achieved by the known methods of 3D-CAD visualization. Furthermore, the paper suggests a model that can secure sufficient quality in future visualization work processes by accumulating documentation for both the factual basic data and information that carry the aim and meaning of the message and make this information accessible through the visualization.

summary	Our young students have no strong bindings to the tools and methods of our profession. With their open-minded access to the media, they often try to do things, which are surprising and new. Things which would have been impossible to think of without a computer. They are inspired of apparently unknown design-options, which they find in CAD-tools, or they are exploring possibilities in 'strange' combinations of media, not unknown from Television-commercials and music-videos. This Blitz-session will show some students' projects in a very short while. The common thing is, that the students have broken rules, that the teacher never realised were rules, because of his (my) traditional education. One student uses a solid modelling -tool for inspiration, - another uses an auto-tracing tool to generate the concept - and a group of students used a combination of video, grabbing and 3D-modelling to generate new architecture.
