title	City of Bits: space, place, and the infobahn
source	The MIT Press
summary	Entertaining, concise, and relentlessly probing, City of Bits is a comprehensive introduction to a new type of city, a largely invisible but increasingly important system of virtual spaces interconnected by the emerging information superhighway. William Mitchell makes extensive use of concrete, practical examples and illustrations in a technically well-grounded yet accessible examination of architecture and urbanism in the context of the digital telecommunications revolution, the ongoing miniaturization of electronics, the commodification of bits, and the growing domination of software over materialized form. In seven chapters - Pulling Glass, Electronic Agoras, Cyborg Citizens, Recombinant Architecture, Soft Cities, Bit Biz, and Getting to the Good Bits - Mitchell argues that the crucial issue before us is not one of putting in place the digital plumbing of telecommunications links and associated electronic appliances, nor even of producing content for electronic delivery, but rather one of creating electronically mediated environments for the kinds of lives that we want to lead.

summary	The proliferation of computing in architectural practice is turning CAAD knowledge into an essential qualification for a graduate. Inevitably there are different perceptions of how this knowledge should be obtained and what it must entail. Despite these differences it appears that there is general agreement on a combination of components ranging from computer literacy to theoretical knowledge. The transition from academic education to practice means that the graduate has to re-evaluate and re-arrange these components with respect to two main criteria: relevance to practice and their potential for reforming practice.

title	Teaching BIM modeling in the architecture course: using a Blended Learning Strategy
source	SIGraDi 2018 [Proceedings of the 22nd Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Brazil, São Carlos 7 - 9 November 2018, pp. 942-947
summary	From the second year of the architecture course, a discipline is offered to introduce the BIM concept using an architectural modeling software. To optimize learning in the discipline and allow students to have a face-to-face period to discuss BIM theory, the use of Blended Learning was proposed - a learning method that combines face-to-face classroom interactivity in a physical space with digital media and online activities. For this purpose, video classes with BIM modeling tutorials were developed. The employed process proved to be efficient and may be an alternative to the conventional learning process in architecture.

summary	Simulation programs are an important tool to reduce building energy demands. However, there are difficulties that limit the use of these applications including the understanding and interpretation of the results. Due to the uncertainty regarding the reading and interpretation of results leading to design decisions, we propose a graphical display analysis, both scientific and information, charts, tables, diagrams, etc. Which apply to both energy simulation tools as complementary programs. It seeks to establish what tools have the greatest impact in the analysis process and how it influences the design decisions.

summary	Cinematic space is ephemeral and fleeting. After capture on film, the physical space of cinema is erased as lights are dimmed, props are dismantled, old sets torn down and new ones erected. For the understanding and research of historic cinematic space this is inherently limiting. Can computational tools aid this research and allow for digital reconstruction of film sets and scenes? This paper initiates a line of study into restitution methods of cinematic space. Assessment of software-based photogrammetry methods to cinematic sequences leads to the development of a bespoke parametric linear perspective reconstruction tool.

title	Measuring Impacts of Vertically Integrated Pedestrian Network Configurations on Urban Space Use in Dense Built Environments
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2022.2.307

summary	Integrated mixed-use developments are increasingly taking the form of vertical extensions of urban spaces on the ground. The spatial networks within the evolving vertical neighbourhoods, their relationships with the larger urban fabric, and the user interactions within these complex multi-layered urban built environments are numerous and varied. This paper presents an analytical framework to map and analyse the pedestrian connectivity within the vertically integrated urban open space network and its interactions with the ground level urban fabric using a Network Science-based approach. The research uses Kampung Admiralty, a first-of-its-kind building site scale 'vertical city' prototype in Singapore, as a case study. A 3d pedestrian network link model mapping the pedestrian connectivity within the development is generated and analysed to understand the flows and accessibility to the vertically distributed urban open spaces. This 3d pedestrian link model is further combined with the 2d urban walking network at the ground level to generate an integrated neighbourhood-level walkability analysis. Analysing the two-dimensional connectivity at the ground level and comparing the influence of linking the three-dimensional vertical connectivity to the ground network generates valuable design insights into the spatial performance of vertically integrated developments in their immediate urban context.

title	Interaction of the design methods and the contemporary computer techniques
source	Faculty of Architecture, Warsaw University of Technology
summary	The thesis researches a bilateral relations between computer techniques and methods of architectural design. It represents a holistic attitude because of a multithread analysis in the field of the theory of design, a new hard- and software used by architects, and a design practice. Thesis: Contemporary computer science development at the end of the twentieth century pushed architects to use hard- and software as tools, which became an active support (more than just CAAD). It enabled to widen the scope of a form-properties research and a generation of solutions impossible to achieve before, by using traditional methods and tools. This situation leads to new, unpredictable possibilities of architectural research and design. Objectives: 1. Definition of the latest trends in computer technologies applied in architectural offices. 2. Presentation of some practical consequencies of application of those technologies in design and construction. 3. Separation of new design methods caused by use of digital tools. 4. A simplified taxonomy of the methods above, with characteristic features. 5. A research in practical application of digital tools in Polish and foreign offices, as well as at the WUT Faculty of Architecture. The subject of the work: The thesis constitutes of five chapters. The first chapter is an introduction, where the range of work is presented in the context of place, time and the research made. The following chapters research three aspects of CAAD: (1) hardware and software, (2) new definition of architecture, which is a result of application of the digital tools, (3) practical problems connected with the use of computer techniques. The second chapter describes the new technologies in use –Virtual Reality (incl. VRD, CAVE’s, Data Gloves, motion-capture), Rapid prototyping (incl. holographic printers, 3D scanners, routers, milling-machines), new types of interfaces (e.g. xWorlds, InfoSpace, Flock of birds), etc. The third chapter is a theoretical one. It presents three types of changes in design methods, which can be classified, judging by results, in architecture of: (a) in-formation (b) de-formation and (c) cyberspace. All the mentioned applications of a digital technology cause redefinition of the range of the architects’ profession. The fourth chapter is concentrated on the application and utilization of technology. It is a detailed analysis of chosen buildings (characteristic examples) and design methods used by some avant-garde and well-known practitioners and visioners of architecture (Eisenman, Gehry, Spuybroek, etc.). It also presents statistics, where the influence of digital tools on the way of working (efficiency, productivity, use of tools) is expressed numerically. A synthesis summarizes the relation between architects and the new digital tools in some aspects: hard- and software, social changes, ergonomics, methodics, linguistic/symbolic and architectural. The mentioned ranges of interaction constitute the proof of the thesis.

title	From Passive to Immersive: Metaverse as a Pedagogical Approach in History Class: Presenting a Constant Reminder of Historical Remnants and a Customizable Reality for Future Preferences; Beirut as a Case Study
source	Hybrid Spaces of the Metaverse - Architecture in the Age of the Metaverse: Opportunities and Potentials [10th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings] Debbieh (Lebanon) [Virtual Conference] 12-13 October 2022, pp. 202-219
summary	It is widely acknowledged that passive, non-immersive strategies of teaching adopted in history classes in Lebanon do not offer the right platform for knowledge retention in students. With that said, virtual reality and the use of Metaverse as a pedagogical approach is prophesied as the most apt to invoke a positive attitude from children towards the topic being studied, and thus, in this case, it increases their awareness of the existing built heritage they live amidst. This research sets out from a recent project implemented by Beirut Arab University, together with three UN agencies. The latter aimed for “developing children emotional attachment to the territory of Beirut Blast through activating their participation in the construction of cognitive maps by playing with spatial maps strategically designed in a game environment”. A thorough assessment of the outcomes of the activities implemented throughout the project, including the executed physical models and game boards that simulate myriad neighborhoods in Beirut, is carried out, followed by an analytical comparison of these outcomes with those from using the proposed innovative digital tools. A pilot study is conducted on Martyr’s square to assess how virtual tools can enhance the sensory experience and perception of the built space, making youth active learners rather than passive. It illustrates how introducing children to educating architecture from a young age not only nurtures their awareness of their local neighborhoods, but also generates responsible citizens. The outcome of this study can be divided over a timeline of past, present, and future. The virtual recreation of old Beirut aims to enhance the virtual learning experience as opposed to that from books and chalkboards. Children are expected to formulate a better understanding of their heritage, become more attached to the remnants of the latter, and set out to customize the reality to their preferences or vision of how a better, sustainable Beirut looks like.

summary	For the architectural practice drawings are the most important medium to transfer information. Other documents concerning planning, quantities, calculations or descriptions are complements to the drawn construction data. The automatisation made it possible to spent less time to obtain drawings of higher quality, and to handle the administrative data in a more efficient manner.

title	The virtual organisation
source	Automation in Construction 6 (1) (1997) pp. 39-43
summary	A virtual organisation is a geographically dispersed organisation, in which travel for the purpose of exchanging information is minimised. It is also a `hub-and-spokes' model, where the hub is no larger than the spokes, and a multi-site organisation in which the sites are well connected electronically, allowing most of the forms of communication that happen within a single office to be replicated at a distance. The paper also includes: information flows in the construction industry, visions of the future, and further reading.

title	Lines from the Past - Non-photorealistic immersive virtual environments for the historical interpretation of unbuilt architectural drawings
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2017.2.711
source	Fioravanti, A, Cursi, S, Elahmar, S, Gargaro, S, Loffreda, G, Novembri, G, Trento, A (eds.), ShoCK! - Sharing Computational Knowledge! - Proceedings of the 35th eCAADe Conference - Volume 2, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy, 20-22 September 2017, pp. 711-720
summary	The trajectory of virtual reality for architecture is towards photo-realism. While this may be effective for some contexts, we propose that abstraction is more appropriate for the purposes of a historian interpreting drawings of unbuilt works of architecture. The case study we are using to explore this proposition is the Palazzo Littorio competition set in 1934 Rome. We present two prototype immersive virtual reality (iVR) applications developed in Unity for Oculus Rift: the first uses an etching aesthetic to produce a quasi-realistic site context and an interface that enables the comparative evaluation of competition entries from key viewing positions; the second application takes an even more abstract approach, where the aim is to immerse the historian within a 3D drawing, along with other historical material (drawings, photos, paintings, narrations of texts) and uses spatialized sound to evoke the ambience of the period.

summary	The Arctic is a zone of confluent resources where climate change has begun disrupting the once stable ecological and transhumant lifestyles. Encroachment on pastureland by oil, gas and mining facilities limit reindeer herding activity, and the presence of such infrastructure continues to alter their sensory perceptions and consequently their capacity to read and navigate their environment. Parallel to this, thawing permafrost results in the release of gaseous methane, causing landforms called pingos to explode without detectable warning. This paper proposes a strategy for adapting to these rapid changes by implementing an autonomous system to balance the Arctic ecology through two mutual dependent interventions- (1) Regenerating the pingos to prevent explosion and create new pastoral lands. (2) Seasonally herding the reindeer to these new pastures. The project uses primary data, physical tests, and current technological tools to inform the discourse and suggest a derivative solution. Advanced computational tools like machine learning, robotics, and simulations are used to speculate upon the post-carbon Arctic ecology. The project performs through a strategy of local interventions, networking the living and non-living agents in a tight rope act that balances the Arctic ecology.

title	Acting on the invisible: Computational tools and community action in the landscapes of air quality
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 18 - no. 2, 108-119
summary	This article proposes that designers and planners can better manage wicked problems by developing a strategic alignment of computational technology with a theory of change. Together with an understanding of the most effective places to intervene in a system, designers’ informed use of technology enables them to orchestrate community action and leverage large-scale environmental change. Aligning technology with a theory of change deepens the relevance of computational tools and suggests that technologies or tools that augment one’s ability to perceive, understand relevance, or prioritize raise the potential for action; technologies or tools that aggregate information on collective beliefs or actions help to build a community of concern; and technologies that elevate community capacity and create a sense of identity can contribute to the long-term transformation of values. Through a case study, this article demonstrates a nested approach to computation, which enhances public awareness and enables action in a small community which is trying to manage an extra-territorial problem of air quality. This article also proposes that while computational tools have extended the reach and effectiveness of advocacy, designers should continue to push for expanded application. By aggregating lessons learned from technological networks, such as the emerging clean air network described in this article, we can add another socio-ecological dimension to the practices of landscape and urbanism.

source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 3 - no. 3, 407-418
summary	Professor Arturo Montagu passed away on 8th April, 2005, after a five-year long courageous battle against cancer. Arturo was one of the world's pioneers in architectural computing whose work and teaching influenced generations of professional and researchers, in Latin-America and beyond. It was through him that SIGraDi was created and that many of today's relationships among people in the rchitectural computing community got started and thrived. Despite his illness, he continued working unabatedly until the very end. In fact, few people ever noticed that he was sick. The sheer force of his intellectural activity for a long period of time in the 20th century – dense and valuable like few in architectural computing – and his invincible spirit hid the marks of his illness for a long time. This article summarizes Professor Montagu's contributions to the field of architectural computing and includes tributes from four people who knew him well but through very different circumstances.

summary	This paper studies the computer in teaching drawings in architecture schools. To accomplish it differences are set between expression and representation drawings and three periods are analyzed from the perspective of historical evolution of representation drawing and relationship with architects. The first period is Renaissance and we focus on the appearance of the Perspective Method. The second is the VVIII century and the development of the Projective Method. The third is the XX century and the advent of graphic computation. The information technology in architecture course must be regarded as issue for the entire institution. We conclude that the challenge for Architecture Schools is to create ways of using computer in the architectural project process. This research show that the possibilities of teaching break away with the importance given to the projective drawing and setting the three dimensional environment as the starting point for the process of architectonic creation.
