title	The Harpy Speech Understanding
source	1976. pp. 1-19
summary	Harpy is one of the first systems to demonstrate that high performance, large vocabulary connected speech recognition systems can in fact be realized economically for task- oriented (restricted) languages. In this chapter the authors present, using simple examples, the principles of organization of the Harpy system. They illustrate how knowledge sources (KSs) are specified, how the knowledge compiler integrates the KSs into a unified directional graph representation, and how this knowledge is utilized. In conclusion, they discuss many of the limitations of the present system and how these can be eliminated or reduced in future systems

title	Foundation for a Thorough CAAD Education
source	Architectural Computing from Turing to 2000 [eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9523687-5-7] Liverpool (UK) 15-17 September 1999, pp. 301-308

summary	The birth and development of computing is considered by most as one of the greatest technological achievements of the twentieth century. Since the integration of computers in the built environment, over two decades ago, computing methods developed into efficient designing and calculating tools. In contrast, accelerating advancements in computing technology have created generation gaps amongst architects. There are inexperienced, novice, intermediate and advanced computer-capable architects. If each group was asked to define CAAD, some would still describe it as a computer program for technical draughting. Others may define CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) as a vast array of digital media in CAD, multimedia and DTP, assisting architects in compiling visual presentations. Currently, most architectural schools are capable of instructing most, if not all, facets of CAAD (2D & 3D CAD, model rendering, photo montage, brochure layouts, etc.). However, this knowledge is accumulated at random throughout the course of study. "Computer Graphics for Architects" is the latest educational development in Europe bridging generation gaps with senior architects and serving as an introductory CAAD seminar to beginning architecture students. This book and lecture presents a gallery of recent architectural CAD, multimedia, and DTP presentations practiced in Europe´s second largest architectural firm. The terminology is user-friendly and its content concentrates on responding to the most often posed questions by CAAD beginners relating to: (1) Terminology (2) Appearance (3) Time Consumption (4) Cost Techniques introduced are independent of any platform. The goal is to summarize quickly and effectively the countless possibilities of presentations applicable in architecture practice. "Computer Graphics for Architects" provides a direction for future presentations and motivates students to excel in CAAD.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.337
summary	This paper proposes a computational framework specifically formulated for observing and describing occupant behavior in architectural analysis and design. The framework comprises two main elements. First, it includes an architecture-oriented conceptual delimitation of occupant behavior centered on the spatial dimension of human actions. Second, the framework provides a comprehensive set of computational metrics to describe the spatial behavior of building occupants particularly designed for use with physical sensing technologies and computational data analysis techniques. An experimental case study demonstrates the applicability of the framework in the context of analyzing a multifunctional building space.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2015.447
summary	The objective of this research is to develop a tool for assessing carbon footprints of a building in the design process using BIM technology. Life cycle assessment and carbon footprint assessment are the two basic criteria in evaluating the emission reduction of CO2e.International assessment standards have been established for mass-produced merchandise and organizational operations. However, the existing standards cannot directly disclose the hotspots of carbon footprints in the building life cycle. An assessment method concerning local climate, living culture, ecology and local construction style is required for building design. This research work presents a framework by which a BIM-enabled data visualization tool is developed to support the carbon disclosure in the building design process.

summary	Participatory planning aims at engaging multiple stakeholders including citizens in various stages of planning projects. Adopting participatory design approach in the early stage of planning project facilitates the ideation process of citizens. We have implemented a participatory design study during the 2017 Beijing Design Week and have conducted an interactive design project called "Design your perfect Dashilar: You Place it!". Participants including local residents and visitors were asked to redesign the Yangmeizhu street, a historical street located in Dashilar area by rearranging the buildings of residential, commercial, administration, and cultural functionalities. Apart from using digital design tools, questionnaires, interviews, and sensor network were applied to collect personal preferences data. Computational approaches were used to extract features from designs and personal preferences. In this paper, we illustrate the implementation of the participatory design and the possible applications by combining with crowdsourcing. Participatory design data and citizens profiles with personal preferences were analysed and their correlations were computed. By using crowdsourcing and participatory design, this study shows that the digitalization of participatory design with data science perspective can indicate the implicit requirements, needs and design ideas of citizens.

summary	On-site construction is one of the main research directions of robot construction. Due to the complex and everchanging construction environment on the site, traditional offline programming and simple conditional programming cannot meet the needs of robot on-site construction at all. Realtime adjustment of the robot's operating program for the real-time situation in the field is the appropriate solution. Therefore, the real-time communication and control of robots has become a key issue for robot on-site construction. This article discusses in turn the way of robot offline program control through EthernetKRL and grasshopper. A remote real-time communication and control method for an on-site construction robot is studied, and the application of the method in the on-site construction process of an actual robot is introduced with the Wuzhen coffee kiosk project as an example. Based on the above methods, remote real-time monitoring of the construction robot on site can be realized, which provides a reference for the actual engineering application of the construction robot on site.

title	Clicking is All You Need: Implementing Wave Function Collapse in Early-Stage Design for Manufacturing and Assembly Projects
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 1, pp. 303–312
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.1.303
summary	Wave Function Collapse (WFC) is a constraint-solving algorithm inspired by the quantum mechanics process. However, few attempts have been made in the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. WFC literature indicates that it is constrained by its low-fidelity, stochastic process, making it hard to apply in real-world designs, hence its potential lack of application in the AEC sector. Yet this research sees an opportunity in Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA). Unlike typical architectural projects, DfMA is often more constrained due to modularity. How the DfMA modularity benefits and constricts the spatial planning process, and if such a priori modular definition better informs the design process, is yet to be explored. Thus, how can the highly constrained spatial rules in DfMA architectural design be used in implementing WFC for higher-fidelity fast design concept prototyping? During the research, a prototype was experimented with and implemented while demonstrating several advantages jointly inherited from both the DfMA and WFC, namely (a) high-resolution rapid prototyping with little user intervention for early-stage DfMA and (b) further building material and topological analytics, were enabled for decision support. Hence, this paper addressed the rarely discussed early-stage design problems in the DfMA lifecycle and contributed to a real-world architectural project-based implementation of WFC integrated into an automated computer-aided architectural design workflow inspired by DfMA’s modularity that aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities and 12 Responsible Consumption and Production.

summary	With the rapid development of digital design methods, irregular curved shapes have been more and more widely used in buildings, which not only enriches the appearances of buildings, but also provide new possibilities of improving building performance by shape designs. However, existing researches regarding building performance and shapes mostly focus on regular shapes, while curved shapes are rarely explored. This paper aims to employ design optimization method to explore the improvement of building performance that curved shapes could contribute. Specifically, office buildings are chosen as an example and the potential of improving the daylight efficiency of them by optimized curved facades are investigated. Three major cities and two orientations are involved in the investigation. The results prove that curved facades do have significant potential to improve the daylight efficiency of office buildings, and an average improvement of 0.2032 is achieved by the optimized curved facades in the 6 cases conducted in this research in terms of the area-weighted average UDI (useful daylight illuminance) compared with the same building with plane facade.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2018.1.565
summary	As one of the most important building systems, HVAC plays a key role in creating a comfortable thermal environment. Predicted Mean Vote (PMV), an index that predicts the mean value of the votes of a large group of persons on the thermal sensation scale, has been adopted to evaluate the built environment. Compared to environmental factors, clothing insulation can be much harder to measure in the field. The existing research on real-time clothing insulation measurement mainly focuses on expensive infrared thermography (IR) cameras. Therefore, to ensure cost-effectiveness, the paper has proposed a solution consisting of a normal camera, IR and air temperature sensors and Arduino Nanos to measure clothing insulation in real-time. Moreover, the algorithm includes the initialization from clothing classification with pre-trained neural network and optimization of the clothing insulation calculation. A total of 8 tests have been conducted with garments for spring/fall, summer and winter. The current results have shown the accuracy of T-shirt classification can reach over 90%. Moreover, compared with the results with IR cameras and reference values, the accuracies of the proposed sensing system vary with different clothing types. Research shall be further conducted and be applied into the dynamic PMV-based HVAC control system.

summary	Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system plays a key role in shaping the built environment. The effective and efficient HVAC operations not only achieve energy savings but also create a more comfortable environment for occupant indoors. Since current HVAC systems with fixed schedules cannot guarantee the operation with high energy efficiency and provision of comfortable thermal environment for occupants, it is of great importance to develop new paradigm of HVAC system framework, especially in the open-plan office environment so that everyone could work under their preferred thermal environment. Moreover, compared to environment-related factors to thermal comfort, sensing systems for occupant-related factors such as clothing insulation, metabolic rate, skin temperature have not had standardized yet and most of sensing systems for occupant-related factors may either result in privacy issue or are too intrusive. Hence, it is necessary to develop a new non-intrusive and less private sensing framework for monitoring individual thermal comfort in real-time. Therefore, this paper proposes an integrative comfort-based personalized cooling system with the operation of the centralized systems in office buildings. The results show that such integrative and interactive HVAC system for workplaces has advantages over thermal comfort improvements and energy savings.

summary	New possibilities of concrete constructions in architecture, the traditional formwork can be gradually replaced by the use of flexible textile. At the same time textile reinforcement combined with fabric formwork, introduces an innovative integrated solution in the fabrication of concrete. Based on a simple understanding of the textile weaving and knitting techniques, this project concentrates on the architectural production and the structural optimization of the textile as both concrete reinforcement and formwork. Furthermore, we present a robotic simulation of the process that develops using a series of computational experiments to research the sequence of weaving and/or knitting. Through the computational process and the design simulations, the research is firmly rooted in analog and digital exploration of material and its implementation in architecture, with particular emphasis on the convergence of robotics and computation. Note that the paper deals mainly with the software and weaving simulation as part of a larger research project, without dealing with the production of physical artefacts.

summary	3D lattice structures are gaining widespread application in multiple design fields. While the number of projects that utilize load-responsive inhomogeneous and anisotropic 3D lattices in design applications increase, accessible and effective algorithmic generation methodologies remain lacking. This paper addresses this gap by introducing a novel computational method for controlled load-responsive inhomogeneity and anisotropy in 3D lattice generation. The presented methods employ a responsive Ellipsoid Packing algorithm informed by the global tensor field of the packing geometry, followed by a Kissing Ellipsoids algorithm to generate the lattice. Load specific anisotropy and inhomogeneity in the ellipsoid packing process is achieved in response to the magnitude and directionality values of the global tensor field and specialized responsive lattices are easily generated. The proposed Ellipsoid Packing workflow is compared to various common lattice generation algorithms. Results show improvement in mechanical performance.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.2.423
summary	This paper introduces the notion of transient materialization to investigate a novel approach of robotic fabrication. Transient materialization explores a new logic of materialization that takes the advantage of differentiated material states to generate form at a particular moment through computation and fabrication technologies. Specifically, this design research explains a unique design and fabrication process, opening up a new method of materializing architectural form that emerges from the interweaving of data, the material capacity (plastic deformation), timing, and machine capacity. Hence, to examine this research direction, this paper conducts an experimental project, Robotic Metal Curving, through hands-on material experiments, as well as the development of algorithms, robot motion, and prototyping machines. This experiment utilizes an induction heating technique in cooperation with a six-axis industrial robotic arm and fabrication equipment used to shape each metal rod into a three-dimensional curve at a transient moment. In addition, the project focuses not only on developing a robotic metal curving system but also apply this technique in large scale by fabricating a wire-frame structure.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.081
summary	In this paper, a novel synthetic workflow is presented for procedural generation of room relation graphs of floor plans from structured architectural datasets. Different from classical floor plan generation models, which are based on strong heuristics or low-level pixel operations, our method relies on parsing vectorized floor plans to generate their intended organizational graph for further graph-based deep learning. This research work presents the schema for the organizational graphs, describes the generation algorithms, and analyzes its time/space complexity. As a demonstration, a new dataset called CubiGraph5K is presented. This dataset is a collection of graph representations generated by the proposed algorithms, using the floor plans in the popular CubiCasa5K dataset as inputs. The aim of this contribution is to provide a matching dataset that could be used to train neural networks on enhanced floor plan parsing, analysis and generation in future research.

summary	The past years have seen significant developments in the area of robotic design interfaces. Building upon visual programming environments, these interfaces now allow the creative industry to de- fine even complex fabrication processes in an easy, accessible way, while providing instant, production-immanent feedback. However, while these software tools greatly speed up the programming of robot- ic arms, many processes are still inherently slow: Subtractive process- es need to remove a large amount of material with comparably small tools, while additive processes are limited by the speed of the extruder and the properties of the extruded material. In this research we present a new method for incrementally shaping transparent polymer materi- als with a robotic arm, without requiring heat or dies for deep- drawing, thus allowing us to rapidly fabricate individual panels within a minimum of time.

summary	UrbanLab is a computer system supporting urban and regional design. The papers outlines two leading aspects of this large research project, aimed respectively to make explicit the dynamic of the design in its time and geographic dimensions, and to interactively represent the interplay of some, explicitly, recognised factors, for instance the role of a multitude of different (local) actors in the design process. UrbanLab has been applied to several projects at different scales. We consider the applications to dynamically and interactively generating models of an Alpine valley. The modelling in the spatial and temporal dimensions provided us with the elements to study the evolution over the next twenty years.
