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.

summary	Timber gridshell is an efficient structural system. However, the feature of double curved surface result in limitation of practical application of timber gridshell. Digital technology provides an opportunity to break this limitation and achieve a lightweight free-form gridshell. In the practice of Venue B for 2018 West Bund World AI Conference, architects and structural engineers cooperated to explore innovative design of lightweight steel-timber composite gridshell with the help of digital tools. Setting digital technology as support and restrains of the project as motivation, the design tried to achieve the realization of material, structure, construction and spatial expression. The digital design and construction process will be discussed from four aspects, including form-finding of gridshell surface, steel-timber composite design, digital detailed design and model-based fabrication and construction. We focuses on the use of digital tools in this process, as well as the role of the design subject.

title	Research on Architectural Form Optimization Method Based on Environmental Performance-Driven Design
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-33-4400-6_21
source	Proceedings of the 2020 DigitalFUTURES The 2nd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2020)
summary	In the context of contemporary environment and society, the architectural form optimization based on Environmental performance-driven design is a method by using environmental performance data to optimize the architectural form. Its value lies in dealing with the interaction between architecture and environment, and developing architecture with environmental sustainability. This thesis summarizes the similarities and differences between performance-driven form design and traditional bionic form design. The traditional bionic design separates the bionic object from its complex living environment, and its simple imitation tends to fall into the local rather than the global optimum. However, performancedriven design is different from bionic design. It advocates environmental factors as a driving factor rather than a confrontational factor. It is a systematic global optimal method for studying architectural form. This paper puts forward the specific architectural form optimization simulation process based on the performance-driven thought. Taking the multilayer parking building design of the riparian zone on the south bank of Chongqing as an example, the parametric design method is used to obtain architectural optimization form adapted to the environment.

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.

title	Optimization and Prediction of Design Variables Driven by Building Energy Performance—A Case Study of Office Building in Wuhan
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-33-4400-6_22
source	Proceedings of the 2020 DigitalFUTURES The 2nd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2020)
summary	This research focuses on the energy performance of office building in Wuhan. The research explored and predicted the optimal solution of design variables by Multi-Island Genetic Algorithm (MIGA) and RBF Artificial neural networks (RBF-ANNs). Research analyzed the cluster centers of design variable by K-means cluster method. In the study, the RBF-ANNs model was established by 1,000 simulation cases. The RMSE (root mean square error) of the RBF-ANNs model in different energy aspects does not exceed 15%. Comparing to the reference case (the largest energy consumption case in the optimization), the 214 elite cases in RBF-ANNs model save at least 37.5% energy. By the cluster centers of the design variables in the elite cases, the study summarized the benchmark of 14 design variables and also suggested a building energy guidance for Wuhan office building design.

title	Digital Methods of Abstracting Forms from Nature
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2003.695
source	CAADRIA 2003 [Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / ISBN 974-9584-13-9] Bangkok Thailand 18-20 October 2003, pp. 695-706
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	Natural Forms As Virtual Architectures
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2002.382
source	Connecting the Real and the Virtual - design e-ducation [20th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-0-8] Warsaw (Poland) 18-20 September 2002, pp. 382-385
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. The digital method is a language to create and simulate seashell forms. This paper suggesting a variety of possible architectural forms derived from a seashell.

title	Improving Child Safety in Residential Buildings via Architectural Design and Technology Integration
source	Vienna University of Technology; Building Science & Technology
summary	This work intends to create design guidelines based on the classification of design elements in residential buildings according to risk levels. It suggests the inclusion of safety aspects in children’s immediate environment by better design solutions and technologies which can help to prevent home accidents that mainly affect children aged between 0 and 4 years. The guidelines could help to create new building and design standards for architects and the building industry. They are based on research, conducted mainly in the European Union and the United States of America, into regulations and programs focusing on the prevention of home accidents. This work may be of benefit to parents, manufacturers, the building industry, architects and governments. Parents may benefit, obviously, because they get information on how to decrease the number of hazards within their children’s environment. It may help manufacturers improve their safety standards. Consumers may choose from a range of safer products. It may prompt the building industry to create safer designs and products thus avoiding liability claims. It may inspire architects to a more safety-oriented design. Finally governments could reduce health costs – in Austria alone, for example, more than € 3.4 billion a year are spent on home and leisure accidents.

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.

summary	This paper describes an approach to knowledge representation for an evolutionary design process. The concept of design schemas is introduced to provide the representational framework for design knowledge. Two kinds of design schemas, the design rule schema and the design gene schema, are proposed to formulate design knowledge and interpret the knowledge into genetic codes. A design problem which is used to exemplify this approach is that of a large office layout planning problem.

doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-8405-3_41
source	Proceedings of the 2023 DigitalFUTURES The 5st International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2023)
summary	This paper presents a case study on the use of 3DCP to qualify rocky pontoons with spaces for recreational use—namely sitting areas, circulation trails and fishing activities—and biodiversity protection—providing habitat and refuge for native marine species—with a focus on the challenges and opportunities associated with 3DCP prefabrication for such a complex topographical context. We first discuss the benefits and disadvantages of 3DCP over traditional methods for retrofitting strategies with the support of state-of-the-art literature review. We then present a methodology for an experimental case study, organized in three stages: (1) a photogrammetric survey and digital reconstruction of the site´s rocky landscape, (2) the creation of a tool to generate and optimize custom-fit slabs based on their location on site, intended use and role in the protection of the natural ecosystem, and (3) the robotic fabrication of these slabs through 3DCP. Finally, we present our key findings, revealing that 3DCP offers a viable and more efficient alternative for appropriating and revitalizing sites with a disorderly and highly complex topography.

source	Integrating Computers into the Architectural Curriculum [ACADIA Conference Proceedings] Raleigh (North Carolina / USA) 1987, pp. 87-94
summary	During the architectural design process it is helpful to get the energy analysis at various steps. Using the knowledge obtained from energy analysis programs, a design can be improved during the next step. Today Computer-Aided Drafting packages are popular as drafting tools in the architecture profession and schools. Many software packages for energy analysis are also available. To promote such analytical design process, there is a need to develop interfaces between energy analysis systems and Computer- Aided Drafting packages to get the energy analysis using the drawing files. This paper describes the use of the interface between Computer-Aided Drafting system and energy analysis program as an analytical tool in the Computer-Aided Design process. Then it presents an interface developed between AutoCAD, a popular Computer-Aided Drafting tool, and CALPAS3, an energy analysis program.

title	Evaluation of Designs for Energy Performance Using A Knowledge-Based System
source	New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1992. pp. 293-304 : ill. includes a bibliography
summary	Principles of knowledge-based (or expert) systems have been applied in different knowledge-rich domains such as geology, medicine, and very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI). There have been some efforts to develop expert systems for evaluation and prediction of architectural designs in this decade. This paper presents a prototype system, Energy Expert, which quickly computes the approximate yearly energy performance of a building design, analyzes the energy performance, and gives advice on possible ways of improving the design. These modifications are intended to make the building more energy efficient and help cut down on heating and cooling costs. The system is designed for the schematic design phase of an architectural project. Also discussed briefly is the reasoning behind developing such a system for the schematic design rather than the final design phase
