summary	During the current pandemic situation, in 2020/2021, there has been an increased need for easier remote access to cultural and heritage sites, especially on users’ smartphones and personal devices. The exhibition from the 40 years anniversary of the Cultural and Scientific Divulgation Center (CDCC) of the University of Sao Paulo (USP) was selected in order to accomplish the fundamental objectives of this study. The transition of its contents to digital media was enabled by three main technologies: 360° panoramic images, used broadly in the virtual tour; close-range photogrammetry for the creation of 3D models of objects, such as the bust of Dante Alighieri; and informative GIFs of the Transparent Woman of Dresden. As a result of the methodology proposed, this paper introduces a link with the virtual tour developed, presenting an important resource to spread a multidisciplinary knowledge about this meaningful built heritage of Sao Carlos (SP).

title	A Computer-Facilitated Approach for Development, Visualization and Testing of Functional Programming Information
source	Timmermans, Harry (Ed.), Third Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning - Part one: Architecture Proceedings (Spa, Belgium), August 18-21, 1996
summary	Functional programming processes for complex architectural projects have traditionally been hampered by the static nature of available tools and technologies. Connection with user groups have likewise been disadvantaged through the employment of sender-oriented communications models that limit feedback and interaction. In addition, diminishing project budgets place increasing pressure on clients and consult-ants to develop more effective and efficient methods for the design and construction of buildings. This paper discusses a case-study involving the design of a highly complex medical laboratory wherein infoc mation technologies were used to facilitate the development, visualization and testing of functional pro-gramming information. The objectives for the project involved creating an environment where users and clients actively participate in consideration of programming directions and implications in a manner that would not only increase confidence that the program would meet user requirements now and in the future, but also would reduce redundant and or inefficient space within the overall building programme. In the approach used the distinction between programming and design is diminished to improve communication of desires and design responses. The findings of the study indicate that the computer-facilitated approach met the objectives of the project and that the methods developed hold promise for application across a broader range of project types.

title	Architectural Photogrammetry & Knowledge-Base Systems Record & Redevelopment
source	Second Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture & Urban Planning (Vaals, the Netherlands), August 15-19, 1994
summary	In redevelopment projects, the purpose of heritage recording is part of an investigative process to achieve understanding about structures so that designers can make the appropriate design decisions. It is desirable to integrate the knowledge of the recording and documentation specialist, who has first-hand knowledge of the building, with the interpretative process of evaluating the building information and making design decisions. New developments in the fields of photogram-metric recording and computer science has led to improved "image understanding". This paper describes research that is the result of exploring the concept of integrating new digital photogram-metric recording processes with an automated expert evaluation tool. The goal of this research is to expedite the acquisition of heritage building information for use by a knowledge-based system capable of providing the designer with building performance evaluations. Photogrammetry records all data as a series of three-dimensional coordinates which make it a natural partner for today's three-dimensional CAD systems. Generating a three-dimensional model of architecturally significant physical forms and details can provide a basis for evaluation, understanding, education, and design. The purpose of knowledge-based systems in construction is to enhance the decision-making process with specialized knowledge and experience. The linkage of CAD databases with knowledge-based systems provides a source of input data, such as a three-dimensional model, significant to a particular problem. This research is a collaborative effort between two groups, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich Switzerland, and the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada.

summary	The concrete industry's significant CO2 emissions and material usage have driven a shift towards sustainable construction, with a renewed focus on using local materials like soil, now made viable for modern construction through advancements in robotic fabrication. A key challenge with local soil is enhancing its strength for construction. The Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation method (MICP), which harnesses bacteria to harden soil, has emerged as a solution. Typically, MICP relies on exogenous bacteria cultivated in controlled environments, a resource-intensive process which is often challenging to apply in natural soil conditions. This paper proposes MICP through biostimulation of locally sourced soil bacteria, simplifying the process and allowing for on-site applications. This study explores the potential of MICP by stimulation in construction, utilizing advanced robotic fabrication techniques. We aim to reduce the environmental footprint of traditional concrete methods and minimize waste while increasing efficiency and precision using local soil by employing robotic fabrication techniques. Our findings are based on strength, mechanical, and performance tests, as well as experiments in formative and additive manufacturing of domes, using a custom robotic 3D printing extruder in a lab setup. These experiments confirm the feasibility of using local soil for sustainable construction. The results encourage further research to scale up the manufacturing process and enhance the material's structural strength. This research bridges the gap between traditional local material usage and modern construction technologies, offering a sustainable pathway for the construction industry.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2011.x.j1c
source	Parametricism (SPC) ACADIA Regional 2011 Conference Proceedings
summary	This research focuses primarily on the functionality of software, specifically Rhinoceros (McNeel & Assoc.) and a few associated PlugIns (Grasshopper, Rhino Assembly), to create and control a model of a building to study the environmental effects of modulation of space. Has technology been completely utilized in addressing comfort maintenance within a dwelling space? For example, animals have a similarities based upon their surface to volume relationship, yet they are able to adjust the ratios based on a reaction to their environmental circumstances. For example, when cold, they are able to “fluff” their fur in order to minimize their surface area in comparison to an increasing “interior” volume. Historically, abilities to influence temperature change within a space have been relegated to passive air exchange systems and more recently completely active air exchange means of control. Technological advances have raised significant questions towards methods and means for this control. Through use of 3D models and simulations, the topic of climate maintenance in spatial conditions was addressed using environmental controls. Thus modulation of the interior climate as well as the space could simultaneously occur to create a radically different space of habitation. The preparation and writing of this abstract addressed various areas of the SPC requirements, which become apparent during the digestion of the paper.

title	Sculptured Surface Technology as a Unified Approach to Geometric Definition
source	CASA - The Computer and Automated System Association of SME. 23 p. : ill Dearborn: SME, 1979. MS79-146. includes bibliography.
summary	The purpose of this paper is to describe a comprehensive approach to representing and machining complex surface shapes in an APT programming system. The APT (Automatically Programmed Tools) user language was extended to permit the definition of a hierarchy of curves and surfaces. Much of the logic has been implemented using matrix canonical forms which are closed under the full family of projective transformations, permitting family of parts storage and retrieval and part compensation. The area of numerical control machining was addressed, but the solutions for tool positioning were only partially successful due to the complexity of the algorithmic problem. This paper first outlines some of the mathematical methods adopted and then illustrates how these have been implemented with an APT part programming example

title	Approximate Optimization Method for Complex Shapes Using Displacement Mapping
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2023.2.081
source	Immanuel Koh, Dagmar Reinhardt, Mohammed Makki, Mona Khakhar, Nic Bao (eds.), HUMAN-CENTRIC - Proceedings of the 28th CAADRIA Conference, Ahmedabad, 18-24 March 2023, pp. 81–88
summary	This paper proposes a method to optimize 3D models with complex shapes based on 3D scan models into data that can be machined by 3-axis digital fabrication equipment by utilizing displacement mapping technique. In contemporary architecture, the collage technique is being increasingly used, with complex digital models including 3D scanned objects being used as collaged elements without simplification. Additive manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing are the major techniques used to create these forms, but they are difficult to fabricate on 3-axis machines. This paper first discusses the technical challenges of fabricating collaged models using a 3-axis machine, then the paper proposes a method to optimize the models into data that can be fabricated by 3-axis machines by utilizing displacement mapping technique. The paper introduces two cases of art installations designed and fabricated using the method proposed in this paper and discusses how the method is applied to them. Finally, the potential of this method and challenges to be addressed for the future will be discussed.

title	Fake. space
source	Engeli, Maia (ed.): Bits and Spaces. Architecture and Computing for Physical, Virtual, Hybrid Realms, Basel/Boston/Berlin: Birkhäuser Publishers for Architecture (pp 56-65)
summary	In fake.space the students form an online community that jointly builds up the fake.space node system, in which the individual contributions are linked and can be viewed and navigated through in various ways. The topics of the nodes are different aspects and concepts of space, which were investigated using digital representations of the students" own homes. The main principle is that of contextuality: every work is created in reaction to an already existing one and it is also displayed in that context when it has been handed in. The entirety of all student works creates a collective narrative space which can be read and navigated through in various ways, producing a multitude of very personal stories. In this sense fake.space can be regarded as a digital city.

source	Automation in Construction 5 (3) (1996) pp. 171-183
summary	The integration of state-of-the-art photogrammetric methods with the capabilities of CAAD has great potential for a variety of architectural applications. This paper describes the current status of an ongoing research project which aims to develop an easy to use tool for the photogrammetric generation of accurate, reliable and well structured 3D CAAD models of architectural objects. The project adresses the whole range of issues that arise from the digital image acquisition to the data processing, the data integration between photogrammetry and CAAD and the architectural structuring of the geometric data. While also giving a brief overview of the project, the paper concentrates on one central aspect of the system: a method to model what we will define as 'weak forms' as the basis for qualitatively controlled computer measurement.

title	EventSpaces. A Multi-Author Game And Design Environment
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2000.065

summary	EventSpaces is a web-based collaborative teaching environment we developed for our elective CAAD course. Its goal is to let the students collectively design a prototypical application - the EventSpaces.Game. The work students do to produce this game and the process of how they interact is actually a game in its own right. It is a process that is enabled by the EventSpaces.System, which combines work, learning, competition and play in a shared virtual environment. The EventSpaces.System allows students to criticize, evaluate, and rate each otherÕs contributions, thereby distributing the authorship credits of the game. The content of the game is therefore created in a collaborative as well as competitive manner. In the EventSpaces.System, the students form a community that shares a common interest in the development of the EventSpaces.Game. At the same time they are competing to secure as much credit as possible for themselves. This playful incentive in turn helps to improve the overall quality of the EventSpaces.Game, which is in the interest of all authors. This whole, rather intricate functionality, which also includes a messaging system for all EventSpaces activities, is achieved by means of a database driven online working environment that manages and displays all works produced. It preserves and showcases each authorÕs contributions in relation to the whole and allows for the emergence of coherence from the multiplicity of solutions. This Paper first presents the motivation for the project and gives a short technical summary of how the project was implemented. Then it describes the nature of the exercises and discusses possible implications that this approach to collaboration and teaching might have.

summary	This paper describes a Virtual Design Studio exercise involving three academic institutions University - Hong Kong (China), ETH Zurich (Switzerland), and University of Washington, Seattle (USA) - whereby teachers and students, obviously on three different continents and in three different time zones, roughly eight hours apart, were working on a common design project using computer-aided design systems, video-conferencing and a web-based central database that managed and displayed all works throughout the process. The 24 hour design cycle is a metaphor for a more open and international approach to design, facilitated through computer networks. It implies a new form of collective authorship and distributed credits and thus deals with some of the essential challenges and opportunities the internet poses to creative disciplines.

title	Phase(x) - memetic engineering for architecture
source	Automation in Construction 9 (4) (2000) pp. 387-392
summary	Phase(x) was a successful teaching experiment we made in our entry level CAAD course in the Wintersemester 1996/1997. The course was entirely organized by means of a central database that managed all the students' works through different learning phases. This set-up allowed that the results of one phase and one author be taken as the starting point for the work in the next phase by a different author. As students could choose which model they wanted to work with, the whole of Phase(x) could be viewed as an organism where, as in a genetic system, only the "fittest" works survived. While some discussion of the technical set-up is necessary as a background, the main topics addressed in this paper will be the structuring in phases of the course, the experiences we had with collective authorship, and the observations we made about the memes2 that developed and spread in the students' works. Finally we'll draw some conclusions in how far Phase(x) is relevant also in a larger context, which is not limited to teaching CAAD. Since this paper was first published in 1997, we have continued to explore the issues described here in various projects3 together with a growing number of other interested institutions worldwide. While leaving the paper essentially in its original form, we added a section at the end, in which we outline some of these recent developments.

summary	This paper reports on an introductory scripting class that, whilst teaching the basics of algorithmic design to a large number of architecture students, also explored the commonalities between architecture and music. Historical and recent precedents as well as the theoretical and the practical aspect of the project and its pedagogical outcomes are discussed. The technical section includes a detailed description of the setup created for the students. The musical data format used was MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), which was read into the 3D computer graphics package MAYA and turned into 3D geometries using the scripting language MEL (Maya Embedded Language). The paper also discusses the resulting student works and in how far the musical nature of the data is visible in them.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2006.114
source	Communicating Space(s) [24th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-5-9] Volos (Greece) 6-9 September 2006, pp. 114-121
summary	Tracking in space is an important bridge between physical and virtual environments. Optical 3D motion capture systems have become standards in the special effects industry and are increasingly common in medical applications, as well as in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) set-ups. Beyond these applications, there are a number of emerging uses for such systems in architectural design. The possibility to track complex movements in space in real time and at high precision can open up new modes of interacting with spaces, and of generating movement as form as part of an architectural design process. What makes these possibilities particularly interesting for architectural investigations is that they don’t have to be limited to a single user, but can happen in a collaborative way, involving many users simultaneously. After briefly explaining the technical aspects of the technology, an overview of such emerging uses is discussed. As an illustration of this potential, the results of a recent workshop are presented, in which a group of architecture students explored the hidden beauty of everyday movements and turned them into sculptural objects.

summary	This paper documents and analyzes a set of experimental prototype applications for interaction with 3D modeling software through body movements. The documented applications are the result of two workshops dedicated to exploring the potential of 3D motion tracking technology in architectural design. The larger issue the work addresses is how one can create tools that allow us to bring our intuition and our talent for ‘craft’ into the digital design process and in how far tapping into the expressive powers of our body movements may provide new possibilities in this respect.

summary	The ever increasing complexity of architectural projects demands efficient tools to assist within their associated design processes. We present an infrastructure initiative to tackle these challenges with Design Science Labs that are heavily rooted on simulation techniques in various academic fields. The merits of these techniques are discussed under the prospect of research and teaching experience as well as practical applicability. For an increased benefit, strong interoperability between these simulation techniques is desirable, but still not easily achievable. The infrastructure initiative aims to build smooth bridges between these fields and to gain additional architectural design space from their interaction.
