title	From Virtuality to Reality - Collaborative Digital Design in the Urban Environment
source	Digital Design [21th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-1-6] Graz (Austria) 17-20 September 2003, pp. 83-87
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2003.083
summary	This paper describes work in progress on a collaborative project being undertaken by the Department of Art and Design at the University of Luton with the architecture and planning departments at Luton Borough Council and community participation. Focussing on the Plaiters Lea urban zone in Luton, the project uses a three-dimensional digital urban model of the townscape, as a collaborative design and communication tool for urban regeneration. The proposals being developed include elements of architectural and urban design, landscape design and public art. The philosophical motivation for the project is that of the community architecture and arts movements, in which a wide constituency of stakeholders is involved in the evolution of design proposals. The digital model is the key feature of a world-wide-web site that facilitates the exchange of design data between the participants. Digital modelling work has been used for undergraduate CAD skills development, and students are contributing design proposals as part of their studio work. Hence the project also has a pedagogic component.

title	An open, integrated modular format: For flexible and intelligible architecture, engineering and construction design and production
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2021, Vol. 19 - no. 1, 23–36
summary	The architecture, engineering and construction sector is fragmented, and its computer-aided design systems suffer data loss and errors in workflow between design and realisation. An open source, integrated, modular format is proposed to address the technological nature of these problems. Accordingly, this research updates the notion of the modular format as a more flexible and intelligible computational design method by leveraging knowledge from the computer science and manufacturing sectors where the design and realisation process is intentional and explicit. The research design of this article comprises a theoretical approach combined with an empirical case study. Principles of modularity are extracted from the computer science and manufacturing sectors to assist with a better definition of architecture, engineering and construction computer-aided design processes that use materials and resources more efficiently and sustainably. The methodology of the modular format contributes to the emerging concept of a building lifecycle management system for the architecture, engineering and construction sector.

source	21th eCAADe Conference Proceedings [ISBN 0-9541183-1-6], Graz (Austria) 17-20 September 2003, 677 p.

summary	Digital Design is not only the title of the 21st eCAADe conference 2003 in Graz but also one of the main keywords in Architectural Education nowadays. Information Technology has managed to influence all fields of the “architectural process” and has developed straight from the calculation tools of the engineers over the CAD drafting boards of big architectural firms to every architectural professional and student. This process was incredibly quick in terms of the architectural chronology but very slow in terms of architectural education at universities (at least in Austria). Not very long ago it was sometimes forbidden to deliver CAD drawings for design projects at our faculty. In fact, the early experiments in using the computer in the design process quite often failed because of the restrictions of the available (and affordable) hard-and software. Today, even our first year students start some of their earliest design experiences quite naturally with the computer. However, there are still many questions to be answered and maybe some new questions to be asked in the relationship between architectural design and the computer. Architectural design is mainly a “game of imagination” and today computer tools start to enhance and support the architects visions after a longer period where they were often reduced by the limitations of the tools. Still, there are many different ways to design because every designer has a different approach towards architectural design and there is no such thing as “the perfect digital design tool” for everyone. We hope that this conference with all the different approaches documented in this book plays a major role in the discussion and development of all these aspects and brings us “one step further”.

summary	Practically no other field of human creativity is evolving as fast and innovatively as the development and integration of the computer into every possible area imaginable. The computer has today become a natural tool in the fields of architecture and space-planning. The changing form of professional practice due to the increasing application of computerassisted work techniques results in the need, currently being addressed in the education of future architects and town planners, to bring these new mediums into the realm between architecture - art - and building - science.

title	Where Will Romance Occur, A New Prediction Method of Urban Love Map through Deep Learning
source	Jeroen van Ameijde, Nicole Gardner, Kyung Hoon Hyun, Dan Luo, Urvi Sheth (eds.), POST-CARBON - Proceedings of the 27th CAADRIA Conference, Sydney, 9-15 April 2022, pp. 213-222
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.1.213
summary	Romance awakens fond memories of the city. Finding out the relationship between romantic scene and urban morphology, and providing a prediction, can potentially facilitate the better urban design and urban life. Taking the Yangtze River Delta region of China as an example, this study aims to predict the distribution of romantic locations using deep learning based on multi-source data. Specifically, we use web crawlers to extract romance-related messages and geographic locations from social media platforms, and visualize them as romance heatmap. The urban environment and building features associated with romantic information are identified by Pearson correlation analysis and annotated in the city map. Then, both city labelled maps and romance heatmaps are fed into a Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) as the training dataset to achieve final romance distribution predictions across regions for other cities. The ideal prediction results highlight the ability of deep learning techniques to quantify experience-based decision-making strategies that can be used in further research on urban design.

title	Towards a Parametric Variation of Floor Plans: a Preliminary Approach for Vertical Residential Buildings

summary	In the context of the housing demands that respond to several family profiles, allied with the potential of the algorithmic approaches to Architecture, this paper aims to describe an exploratory process of possible solutions toward a generative system of housing distribution in vertical multifamily buildings. As a method, this work presents a parametric design process of a multifamily building, simulating a variety of shape solutions for apartment buildings, in a Grasshopper definition. The work also discusses the data transmission between the parametric modeling using Grasshopper in the Rhinoceros interface and the connection of the final design to Graphisoft’s Archicad BIM-based software. As a result, the parametric model allows several design solutions for several building shapes and contexts. For this study, to fully explore the design possibilities, we applied the method in the context of a Brazilian metropolitan city.

title	Towards a New Representational Ecosystem for the Design Studio

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2014.699
summary	The collection of visual and physical simulation tools available to a design team constitutes what can be termed the Representational Ecosystem of the design studio. Current digital paradigm does not effectively support design discussions because it is limited to the pictorial-frame and scaled representations. We analyzed for the first time the link between the Interconnected Hybrid Ideation Space (HIS) and the representational ecosystem of a design studio as a case study. The Hybrid Representational Ecosystem is proposed to better achieve a comprehensive and closer view of the design solution because it is fully hybrid (analog/digital), it supports multiple kinds of representations, scales, and co-design. The epistemology and principles of the new paradigm are described.

summary	This paper presents the results of a comparative study between traditional analogue tools (sketches and physical models), a CAD software (digital) and a hybrid tool (digital and analogue) that allows immersive freehand sketching and model making (the Hybrid Ideation Space), in order to assess their respective abilities to support collaborative ideation. By comparing these tools, we were able to better understand the relationship between the activity of collaborative ideation, the tools that support it and the experience of the designer in order to provide principles for the development of collaborative tools in design.

summary	The Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) has played a significant role in the development of computational design theories and practices. This research project aims to analyze the projects in the ACADIA proceedings archive to challenge the conventional separation of intellectual and manual work in architecture, rooted in the classical canon. The term “computer-aided” design exemplifies this separation, prioritizing the designer’s position in the master-and-instrument dialect and splitting form and matter, mind and body, theory and practice, as well as intellectual labor and manual labor. Early computational design, emerging from this separation, enhanced the gap by transferring design processes solely into digital tools.

title	Towards Blockchains for architectural design - Consensus mechanisms for collaboration in BIM
source	Sousa, JP, Xavier, JP and Castro Henriques, G (eds.), Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution - Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference - Volume 1, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2019, pp. 267-274
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.1.267
summary	We present a Blockchain collaboration mechanism on optimisation problems between distributed participants who work with building information modelling tools. The blockchain mechanism is capable of executing smart contracts, acting as a reward mechanism of independent designers attempting to collaborate or compete on optimising a design performance problem. Earlier work has described the potential integration through different levels of Computer Aided Design and Blockchain. We present an expanded version of that integration and we showcase how a team can collaboratively and competitively work, using BIM tools, through the blockchain. The original contribution of the paper is the use of the design optimisation performance as a consensus mechanism for block writing in blockchains. To accomplish that we introduce mechanisms for BIM to Blockchain Integration but also describe a special category of blockchains for architectural design and the built environment. The paper concludes with an analysis of the relationship between trust and values as encapsulated in the blockchain and how these could affect the design collaboration.

summary	The paper presents a framework for parametric and generative design based on shape grammars, implemented inside a 3d animation tool. A simple description is given on how animation works, along with parity features between shape grammars and animation tools. Work covered in previous papers by the writer, namely how the designer constructs individual tools from simple animation mechanisms is here expanded in a framework of algebras that not only function in geometric dimensions but also in time.

title	Towards a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure for Additive Manufacturing in Architecture

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2024.2.495
summary	We introduce a promising proof of concept: a blockchain to additive manufacturing pilot prototype. In this paper we focus on developing the functional cyberphysical prototype of the smart contracts running on a blockchain, orchestrating the workflow of additive manufacturing in architecture. We have used design science research and rapid prototyping as methods to create our cyberphysical system. Our prototype allows for the discretisation of a design in components, which are then placed for bidding for production. The components are indexed, with a Non-Fungible Token is produced for each component, recorded on the smart contracts of our platform. The original designers are recorded and then rewarded if the component is ever re-used. A set of additive manufacturing shops then cost and bid for the production of the components, recording their bid on-chain. Component fabrication quality is then validated against the tamper-proof blockchain storage system. Our pilot project establishes viability and a direct link between a blockchain network and 3D printers, facilitated by microcontrollers interfaces acting as blockchain “Oracles”. The significance of this paper lies in its potential to reshape the architectural manufacturing and fabrication landscape. By integrating blockchain with 3D printing, we address critical issues such as efficiency, in challenging locations with labour shortages or logistical constraints.

title	Freeflow: Mediating Between Representation and Action in Workflow Systems
source	Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work CSCW’96, Boston, USA
summary	In order to understand some problems associated with workflow, we set out an analysis of workflow systems, identifying a number of basic issues in the underlying technology. This points to the conflation of temporal and dependency information as the source of a number of these problems. We describe Freeflow, a prototype which addresses these problems using a variety of technical innovations, including a rich constraint-based process modelling formalism, and the use of declarative dependency relationships. Its focus is on mediation between process "and action, rather than the enactment of a process. We outline the system and its design principles, and illustrate the features of our approach with examples from ongoing work.

summary	Hi. I have three questions for Simone. They are kind of built on top of each other. I will try to be as brief as I can. The first is about language. You talked about how object recognition algorithms have these kinds of different categories, such as the difference between iPod and media player. So how much of the kind of errors we are seeing in the case of the chairs are contributed by the limits of the language? And the second question is kind of built on top of that. It's like the matter of context. When those chairs, as shown without background, they are kind of floating objects. So how would multi-modal inputs, such as image to image, or video to 3D, will contribute or improve the algorithm's understanding of the context? And the third one is something that you haven't talked about as much as the matter of user agency. I was thinking about the diagram between the cup and the bowl. And something similar, such as a glass used for drinking water when it's tall enough. At some point, it can be used as a vase. What kind of situation would enable users to make different decisions about what the object is used for?

title	ICT and urban design, a paradigm challenge
source	CORP 2001, Vienna, pp. 331-334
summary	Dealing with ICT, a design studio has been created, dedicated to the "Network City". There is no direct link between ICT and spatialstructure. And the spatial impacts of the new technology still involve high levels of uncertainty. That is where design comes in as itcan demonstrate and visualize what could be. The future urban agglomeration is one of the test-beds. The approach is one of designorientedresearch aiming at possible futures. This approach might be referred to as "research by design", but certainly also involves"design by research". It is, not unlike many aspects of ICT, not a simple matter of either/or.

summary	This work intends to examine a work of art, specifically the Large Glass from Marcel Duchamp, based on the concept of interface. The analysis is based on the spectator’s action and on the conditions that the work establishes in a way that the action updates the work and transforms it continuously. Three points, based on the Large Glass, are proposed for the work of art to organize the spectator’s action creatively: (-) Technology conceived as creation process (-) Virtualization of representative supports, from the internal projections of the spectator. (-) Production of specific subjectivation process. // These aspects can be applied for the reflection on the establishment of creative relationships between utilitarian interfaces and their users.
