title	When research and teaching connect: Parametric design, digital fabrication and architectural design
source	SIGRADI 2015 [Proceedings of the 19th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - vol. 2 - ISBN: 978-85-8039-133-6] Florianópolis, SC, Brasil 23-27 November 2015, pp. 544-550.
summary	This article focuses on three aspects of the use of parametric computer programs in architectural design teaching: 1. the design of buildings with complex geometries; 2. the continuous production of physical models as an indissociable part of the design process; 3. the formulation of exercises seeking to explore the potential of programs and the ways of designing and building they imply. It relies on the didactic experience of a mandatory course of Architectural Design at the Institute of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in connection with the studies and experiments on parametric design and digital fabrication of Nomads.usp, the Center for Interactive Living Studies.

title	TrapiXe: o local como parâmetro [TrapiXe: the site as a parameter]
source	SiGraDi 2014 [Proceedings of the 18th Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISBN: 978-9974-99-655-7] Uruguay - Montevideo 12 - 14 November 2014, pp. 502-504
summary	From the experience of the workshop TrapiXe, this article focuses on three aspects of the design of architectural objects with complex geometric shapes, making use of parametric computational programs. The first two relate 1. the establishment of relations between the architectural object and aspects of local culture; and 2 the use of information extracted from the area of intervention itself, transformed into parameters to be inserted in computer programming. The third aspect is the possibility of serial reproduction of non-identical building components, relating parametric design with digital fabrication procedures aiming at the construction of buildings composing a public equipments network at different locations in the same city.

title	Beyond HCI: Colaboratives graphic interfaces.
source	SIGraDi 2005 - [Proceedings of the 9th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Lima - Peru 21-24 november 2005, vol. 2, pp. 773-777
summary	This article intends to present a research work in process which targets the production of design principles for multi-users graphic interfaces, allowing the creation of dialog spaces for a communitarian purpose, using the knowledge from system-user and user-interface interaction and from semiotic and cognitive psychology. It blends studies in both technological and perceptive fields, focusing on interfaces production with a non-linear structure, with an associative navigability, mostly commanded by signs and graphic elements of easy comprehension. The research goal is to understand how to allow users to build an individualized portion of cyberspace, where dialogs can be established with other community members. This work is part of Nomads.usp, Center for Habitation and Ways of Living Studies - University of São Paulo, that studies and produces criteria to rethink nowadays spaces design, considering its recent history, the transformations occurred in families groups, and its behavior tendencies.

title	Following the Voice of the Crowd: Exploring Opportunities for Using Global Voting Data to Enrich Local Urban Context
source	Global Design and Local Materialization[Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures / ISBN 978-3-642-38973-3] Shanghai, China, July 3-5, 2013, pp. 222-232.
summary	With the introduction of the internet to the public and the rise of digital technologies we experience a shift in our understanding of space. Mobile devices and ubiquitous computing in urban landscape make the physicality of distance disappear – the modern citizen is digitally connected to everybody at anytime and anywhere. The result of this network is a highly globalized world which effects economy same as personal interests and decisions of its inhabitants. The introduction of web 3.0 with its methods of comment, recommender and voting systems offers a broad platform for people all over the world to share experiences and exchange opinions about an unlimited variety of topics. Global opinions meet local interests. In this paper we explore the possibilities of using global voting data to enrich locally the modern citizen’s urban walking experience. We describe a new approach to wayfinding by implementing methods of digital recommender systems into the physical world. We investigate Facebook voting data to generate an alternative to the shortest route, as suggested by common route finder systems, in order to maximize the pleasure of an urban stroll. The testing of the system in a real world context together with collected feedback stimulate the discussions.

title	Human Psychology in Virtual Environments
source	Interacting with Virtual Environments. John Wiley & Sons. Chichester
summary	The design of virtual environments can be approached profitably from the point of view of behavioural science. A review of current applications suggests that an early and continual focus on users-although widely accepted as vital in the design of these applications-is being ignored in favour of a focus on the technology. One example of this can be found in the use of immersion as a defining characteristic of virtual environments: this defining characteristic ignores the tasks that the user may wish to solve. By adopting user performance criteria in the design of virtual environments, we can be sure that the focus is placed on the user and the user's capabilities.

title	LA MODELACIÓN Y SIMULACIÓN ENERGÉTICO-AMBIENTAL COMO HERRAMIENTA DE REDISEÑO ARQUITECTÓNICO (The Modeling and Simulation of a Power-Based Environment Tool of Architectural Redesign)
source	SIGraDi biobio2001 - [Proceedings of the 5th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics / ISBN 956-7813-12-4] Concepcion (Chile) 21-23 november 2001, pp. 83-85
summary	The aim of this paper is to explore the potential of building simulation programs as an evaluation and redesign tool. The research work consisted on the evaluation of thermal comfort in three low cost houses situated on different climatic zones of Chile, in order to create a matrix of appropriate redesign strategies with an adequate analysis of cost and benefits. Conclusions stressed out that building simulations programs are a useful tool for evaluating building performance, but detailed programs are still unfriendly to use widely by architects.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2006.328
summary	In this paper we describe a SketchUp VR system in which we create a hybrid two-dimensional / three-dimensional immersive architectural design system. This system combines a tablet PC, an optically tracked room, a display wall, a Space Traveler motion controller, and stereographic eyewear to allow immersive conceptual design and walkthrough using a version of SketchUp that has been enhanced with Ruby plug-ins. The tablet PC provides a ”sketchpad” type of user interface for SketchUp, while the tracked space and display wall enable the designer simultaneously to design at full (or any other) scale in an immersive (VR) environment.

summary	During building design processes, designers have to predict and evaluate future building performances oriented to its intended use and users. Current BIM and IFC technologies support designers allowing data exchange and information interoperability but, since their lack in semantics, they don’t provide any knowledge implementation about how the designed building will be actually used and how people will interact with it. The research described in this paper aims to overcome this shortcoming by developing a new modelling approach, oriented to representation and management of knowledge related to future building use and users. The proposed representation model is based on an already accepted ontology-based structure and will make this large amount of knowledge accessible and usable by designers during architectural design processes, in order to enhance the final quality of the design product.

summary	Quality, according to Pirsig’s universal statements, does not belong to the object itself, nor to the subject itself, but to both and to their interactions. In architecture it is terribly true as we have a Building Object and Users that interact with it.The problem we approach here, renouncing at the impossible task of modelling the actor’s “libero arbitrio”, focuses on defining a set of occurrences, which dynamically happen in the built environment. If organized in a proper way, use process knowledge allows planners/designers to represent usage scenario, predicting activity inconsistencies and evaluating the building performance in terms of user experience.With the aim of improving both, the quality of buildings and the user experience, this research explores a method for linking process and product ontologies, formalized to support logic synchronization between software for planning functional activities and software for authoring design of infrastructures.

summary	Three-quarters of the production value are generated during activities that involve thinking, conducting relational and brainstorming activities. Most of the European office buildings today have been designed on more than fifty year old architectural and psychosocial concepts. To improve wellbeing and productivity, design innovation focuses on human's use-process, evolving individual workspace to flexible and specialized ones, according to the users tasks - activity-based. BIM supports sophisticated behaviors simulation such as energy, acoustics, although the state of the art, this paradigm is not able to manage space use-processes. Compared to current research on simulation systems, the proposed method links spaces to user's Behavioral Knowledge including formalization of Personality Typologies and profiled behavioral patterns. A hybrid approach for computational technique has been identified, combining (big) data-driven algorithm with ontology-based context reasoning, in order to achieve both, the best performance from intensive data-driven methods, and the finest adaptation for ontological context awareness (including unexplored context capabilities and objects adaptations).

summary	To improve environmental wellbeing and productivity, design innovation focuses on human's use-process, evolving individual space to flexible and specialized ones, according to the users' tasks - activity-based. BIM models supports sophisticated behaviours' simulation such as energy, acoustics, although it is not able to manage space use-processes. The present paper rather than a report of a case study or the presentation of a new methodology wants to contribute, together with previous works, in sketching a theroretical framework within which it is possible to compute the interaction between users and spaces (and vice versa). The quest is to reflect on possible paths for engineering knowledge and understanding, providing a BIM system the semantic information required to operate adaptively and achieve robust and innovative goal-directed behavior. Compared to current research on simulation systems, this research approach links Context, intended as spaces capabilities to Actor's Behavioural Knowledge including formalization of personality typologies and profiled behavioural patterns. By means of a classical problem solving metaphor, the "squared peg in a round hole" one, multiple categories for goal achievement are sketched, based on reciprocal Actors and Context behaviour adaptation.

summary	Reconsidering digital architectural design approaches involves an accurate observation of the relation between human behaviours and spaces. Exploring the reciprocal relationships between people and context, helps better understanding societies’ needs and “genius loci” specific identity factors; in other words, the bases of good design. Inclusion of users’ behaviours in the design – apart from traditional questionnaires of participatory design – has been enhanced in the last years by the development of behaviour acquisition strategies, influenced by the evolution of sophisticated tools: the last can easily collect/use a considerable amount of data, tracking the actors’ use process in different spatial contexts (regional, urban, architectural, interior scale). The present paper, based on our previous research, wants to contribute in sketching a theoretical framework within which it is possible to address a more smart and effective computation of the interaction between users and spaces, and vice versa. The quest is to reflect on a strategy to formalise explicit design knowledge by engineering the required semantic information on top of available simulation systems. An analysis of computable architectural design process implies the investigation of project models anatomy along the CAAD history. By discussing the evolution of those models, knowledge structures and their “design entity” formal representations, this work aims at providing an ‘Ariadne’s thread’ for designers, software developers and academicians in order to enhance consciousness about limits and potentials of the tools they are familiar with.

title	Safety Information Modelling to Support Planning of Archeological Restoration Site - Preserving workers from COVID-19 at "Venus and Rome Temple"

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2021.2.077
summary	At the time of a global pandemic, risk management in the AEC industry faces novel challenges: to ensure continuity production in worksites, National Governments have defined general protocols. Restrictions regarding individual behaviours are based on criteria as simple as possible but, designing and planning Healthy and Safe (HS) site activities introduces a higher level of complexity to be managed. Narrowing the field to Archaeological buildings, this research aims at defining a method and implementation path for a system supporting HS designers in reducing Covid-19 risk in restoration worksites. Methodologically, an action research approach was adopted, experimenting with some engineering requirements in the case study of the ongoing restoration of "Temple of Venus and Rome" in the "Parco Archeologico del Colosseo" in Rome.Since each scheduled activity assigns a number of actors to a workspace for a time-lapse, the idea is to check HS space classes (e.g. working; resting; paths; storage; etc.) - modelled extending commercial BIM tools - against ad hoc process rules (e.g. maximum presence allowed simultaneously). This early-stage plug-in system evaluates Covid-related safety performance of designed 3D worksite layout versus 4D execution program, eventually providing advice about distancing and physical interferences.

summary	VR applied to Architectural and Archaeological Heritage has a long history: Digital models in this field are evolving from an aesthetic simulation of reality, or, rather, a representation of the visual perception, to a more complex model: an information aggregation core. The investigation presents a research panel oriented to enhance the digital survey products - point clouds, meshes, 3D models -to be used as an intelligent visual archive assigning structured knowledge contents to artefacts’ geometry. The implemented case regards the Temple of Venus and Rome. Research, in progress, has been developed by the following steps: 1) Subdividing the artefact geometry into sub- regions; 2) Developing the consolidation ontology for a few restoration classes; 3) Assigning (manually) to each artefact subcomponent, namely a mesh sub-region, a “smart label” including a link to its consolidation ontology instance. The aim is to combine the potential of VR visualization with ontology reasoning systems.

summary	Computer aided examination methods for remains of previous human societies support the study of past human behaviour, thus enriching the understanding of our culture. With mostly limited budgets, finding the most effective use for the limited resources for archaeological restoration is highly relevant for many existing sites all over the world. Sites, that need to allow visitors to safely experience archaeological heritage, even within natural landscapes. This paper illustrates an innovative method, technically using Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR), for integrating the domain specific parameters - at all various scales - of the historical asset into one shared digital twin. To provide an effective platform for all project participants to share their knowledge, and to jointly develop the best design decision. The information is collected and displayed within the digital twin of the archaeological site, both for the communication between the specialists, and facilitating practice of the archaeological investigation, further analysis, conservative restoration and reconstruction. The case study aims at implementing this tool into the ongoing Portus project of Imperial Rome.

summary	This research domain fits in the systemic decomposition/classification of the building organism, specifically focusing on the topic of ‘design entity’ computation models. Entities discussed are those regarding architectural spaces, building components and design process procedures for an AECO project. The paper looks at the progress achieved by the academia and industry in the digital representations of CAAD entities, both tangible and intangible, by reviewing their limits and potentials starting from the second half of the last century on. In order to contribute to the enhancement of existing building modelling standards in this field, we discuss the potentialities offered by multi-inheritance formalism, overcoming the limits of traditional static object-oriented representation, like the IFC standard. Certain object-oriented programming languages allow for multiple inheritance, which consents an object or class to inherit characteristics from many ’parent’ classes or superclasses. It is not the same as single inheritance, in which a class or an entity can only inherit from one specific class or entity at a time. That is, a design entity can take on different meanings depending on the context and domain of the actor using it, or it could have multifunctional uses. Recent most advanced research proposed the ’polysemantic’ entity that could have multiple superclasses at the same time. By analysing in deep computable project models, we schematize a theoretical framework where a new knowledge-based system synergically work with the basic commercial models – IFC-based – by means of ontologies and graphic systems, to enable semantic reasoning. As a result we aim at providing some helps for designers, software developers and academicians to power the CAAD entity representations of the tools they use.
