title	Discrete Continuity in the Urban Architectures of H. Hara & K. Kuma
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2020.1.416
source	ACADIA 2020: Distributed Proximities / Volume I: Technical Papers [Proceedings of the 40th Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-578-95213-0].

summary	The 2020 pandemic has laid bare the ambiguous value of the virtual proximity that distributed computing enables. The remote interaction it ushered in at an unprecedented scale also spawned social isolation, which is symbolically underscored by the reliance of this form of connectivity on individuals’ discrete digital identification. This cyber-spatial dualism may be called ‘discrete continuity,’ and it already appeared in architectural thought in the 1960s with the advent of cybernetics and the first computers. The duality resurfaced in the 1990s in virtual projects, when architectural software was first widely commercialized, and it reappeared in built form in the past decade. This paper sheds light on the architectural aspects of this conceptual duality by identifying the use of discreteness and continuity in the theories of two Japanese architects, Hiroshi Hara (b.1936) and his former student, Kengo Kuma (b.1954), in their attempts to combine the two topological conditions as metaphors of societal structures. They demonstrate that the onset of the current condition, while new in its pervasiveness, has been latent in architectural thinking for several decades. This paper examines Hara’s and Kuma’s theories in light of the author’s interviews with the architects, their writings, and specific projects that illustrate metaphoric translations of topological terms into social structures, reflected in turn in the organization of urban schemes and building parts. While Hara’s and Kuma’s respective implementations are poles apart visually and materially, they share the idea that the discrete continuity of contemporary urban experience ought to be reflected in architecture. This link between their ideas has previously been overlooked.

summary	In the post-SARS-CoV-2 era, technology has played an increasingly important role. Telepresence has risen to prominence, reshaping the way people socialise, work, and inhabit the virtual world. In this, the demand for intelligent virtual environments that adapt to the user has grown. This article presents "Spaceshifter," a project which aims to address challenge of designing responsive to human emotions digital worlds. The project introduces an interactive application that is displayed via a VR headset and serves as an interface to biometric data obtained via an EEG device. Real-time brainwave signals, captured by the device, adjust virtual spaces based on user's mental states. The result is a dynamic ever-evolving virtual environment that conveys a sense of empathy."Spaceshifter" undertook several approaches through its various design phases, to explore different options and parameterizations of the virtual environment. These efforts aimed to adapt the space to the brain's radical shifts, creating a coherent experience for the user. This project aims to bridge the gap between technology and human emotions and shape an evolving landscape of interaction between humans and technology.

title	A CAAD Based Method for Designing Industrial Plants in Sensitive Landscapes
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1994.075
source	The Virtual Studio [Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Education in Computer Aided Architectural Design / ISBN 0-9523687-0-6] Glasgow (Scotland) 7-10 September 1994, pp. 75-83
summary	The protection and management of the visual landscape require new conceptual and operative tools to better link (integrate) the creative and the evaluation phases of the design process. These tools should aid the designer to take into account and evaluate the visual impact of a new project from the early steps of the process: that is the same as saying that we have to upset the logic of EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment), a procedure that usually is applied when the project is finished or is coming to an end. This paper illustrates the first results of a research that aims to produce a system to aid the designer of buildings or infrastructures — industry plants, transport systems, etc. — that could generate a strong impact on the surrounding landscape. To this end we applied some methods and techniques which was worked out in scientific fields that have developed a lot in the late years: MCDA (Multi-Criteria Decision Aid) and CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design). The paper describes a software prototype to aid design of industrial installations for the early design phases.

title	A framework towards designing responsive public information systems
source	Em‘body’ing Virtual Architecture: The Third International Conference of the Arab Society for Computer Aided Architectural Design (ASCAAD 2007), 28-30 November 2007, Alexandria, Egypt, pp. 767-782
summary	"Evolving effective responsive systems, and creating a credible interface between the work and the user, requires an awareness of many different types of user, contexts and functions as well as the phenomenological aspects of social and environmental conditions." (Bullivant, 2006). Responsive design and interactive architecture operates at the intersection of Architecture, Arts, Technology, Media Arts, HCI and Interaction Design in a physical context suggesting ways in which the existing physical environments can be augmented and extended adding a greater level of depth, meaning and engagement with the world around us. Through a series of case studies, this paper explores a number of principles which may be applied to the design of responsive environments of which public information systems form part. Divided into three main sections, the paper first explains how responsive environments have addressed the application of public information systems, secondly, through a series of case studies, precedents are highlighted which lead to development of principles for developing designs for responsive environments. The third section discusses and elaborates on these principles which have been developed based upon our own interpretations and grouping of precedents and approaches towards interaction design. This paper contributes towards the field of responsive environments and interactive architecture through an analysis of case studies to infer a framework from which responsive environments may be created and developed.

title	Looking into Endoscopy - The Limitations of Evaluation in Architectural Design
source	Endoscopy as a Tool in Architecture [Proceedings of the 1st European Architectural Endoscopy Association Conference / ISBN 951-722-069-3] Tampere (Finland), 25-28 August 1993, pp. 185-193
summary	The means available to architects in their age-old task of creating (most usually, though not necessarily) buildings that do not yet exist (ie. virtual realities), can be seen as falling into two groups. Those that help us develop architectural ideas (exploring), and those that help us evaluate or test them (illustrating). In the former category, we have, for instance, the ”drawing on the back of the envelope”, the discursive brainstorm, and the design ”conversation with ourselves via paper and pencil” (the drawing strikes back). In the latter, we may include physical model building, careful (projective) drawing (including drawings that are instructions for making), mathematical and design science modelling and calculating, visualising techniques such as the rendered perspective, most CAD (computer aided design) work and architectural endoscopy. These techniques may be thought of in two ways, as Bosselman reported: the explanation (eg. the organisational plan) and the experience (eg the ”photo-realistic” perspective). Attached to these we have rules for success, such as those of ”style” (in the broad sense of the personal style that allows us to assume that we have answers to problems that have yet to appear). It should be clear even from the list above that there are many more techniques and technologies for evaluation (illustration) than for exploration (design): such is the mystery of design. It is the primary purpose of this paper to invite those involved in providing the enormous effort that has gone into making such techniques for illustration — evaluation — to consider how their efforts help with that other, and crucial, area — that of exploring: and to redress some of the balance of that effort towards exploration. For it occurs to me (as a teacher of architecture), that evaluation does not provide a course for action — it merely helps us determine what may be wrong (according to some criteria with which we choose not to argue). And, no matter how right or wrong a design may be, knowing that it is wrong doesn’t help us either modify it, or find a better initial idea. It only tells us we are not right — always assuming the evaluative model is correct; perhaps.

summary	This paper describes how building designers make sense of the sky and modern visualizationtechniques for representing them. The dialectic approach addresses technological innovation withrespect to existing social practices. This is done for two reasons—to illustrate where practices are andhow they can be extended with innovative technologies. It is shown that building designers maintainvarious levels of expertise for managing daylight design. Visualization prototypes are introduced alsowith different degrees of precision. The paper concludes with implications for the development ofdesign tools and use by building designers.

title	Europe '94 - A Visitor's Report on the State of CAAD in Education
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1994.x.s5h
source	The Virtual Studio [Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Education in Computer Aided Architectural Design / ISBN 0-9523687-0-6] Glasgow (Scotland) 7-10 September 1994, pp. 262
summary	During May, June and July of this year, I had the pleasure of visiting twelve institutions across Europe where computers are being used in the teaching of Architecture. There are as many different approaches to the incorporation of computers in the curriculum as there are places, and they all have some degree of success. My greatest surprise was the large size of these Schools, even in relatively small countries. Dealing with a huge number of students makes any kind of mandatory computer instruction almost impossible. In spite of all difficulties, enthusiasm and willingness to work directly with students was the single most important characteristic in the faculty and staff who are having the greatest success. Support staff dedicated to the maintenance of equipment and software were provided at most of the institutions. For those who do not have this benefit it is critical to relieve the teaching and research faculty of the need for these time-consuming tasks. Formal research activities are not essential to effective education. The process of setting up such efforts is again a distraction from the more important job of teaching. If research projects grow naturally out of the curriculum, they may be pursued without impeding instruction. Most serious of all, there is a substantial lack of communication and cooperation among these schools, and by implication, among all of the other schools in Europe. The mechanism of annual conferences held by ECAADE is insufficient to exchange information and interests. There were several occasions when I mentioned work that was being carried out at one place that would match very nicely with efforts at another. However, it is clearly impossible for any one school to spearhead this kind of collection and coordination of activities. The only appropriate organisation for this kind of exchange would be a centralised service initiated and maintained by the European Community. It is very important that such a body does not attempt to limit or direct the work of individual schools, rather simply serves as a clearinghouse through which the various groups can benefit from each other's work, to the mutual benefit of all.

title	The Global Collaborative Design Project: An Outline of Future Trends in Architectural Design
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2007.x.q3h
source	CAADRIA 2007 [Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia] Nanjing (China) 19-21 April 2007
summary	Collaborative design in architecture has been researched heavily in the academic world, and has begun to infiltrate the profession of architecture. Due to the effects of globalization, many different industries have become involved in the current trend of outsourcing work, or collaborating globally with geographically distributed partners. Advances in information technologies and networking are making this possible, and it is proving itself extremely successful in the world of business. The academic world, however, has seen only limited experiments in distributed virtual design. Limiting factors include an emphasis on individual assessment, administrative and logistical hurdles, and an unclear system of academic benefit. To illustrate the potential of collaborative technologies and methods, I present in this paper conceptual frameworks, collectively termed “Global Collaborative Design Project” (GCDP) that can be deployed in academia as well as in professional practice.

source	Abdelmohsen, S, El-Khouly, T, Mallasi, Z and Bennadji, A (eds.), Architecture in the Age of Disruptive Technologies: Transformations and Challenges [9th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings ISBN 978-1-907349-20-1] Cairo (Egypt) [Virtual Conference] 2-4 March 2021, pp. 421-434
summary	In this study, we explore the role of Architecture within the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research focuses on the role of buildings and smaller-scale spaces on virus spread instead of large-scale environments. The approach tests the scenarios through which the interaction between humans and enclosed built environments impacts virus exposure probabilities. We propose a comprehensive parametric modeling approach of the most significant parameters shown to impact COVID-19 spread in educational buildings. This publication presents the models by aspect, extending our initial research on the Spatiotemporal Modeling of COVID-19 Spread in Built environments based on human-to-human and fomite contagion. It includes the most significant parameter of the spread: airborne transmission. The proof-of-concept study for this research is a K-12 educational setting.

summary	The paper is a comparison of interface changes as a result of modern concepts and a new hardware development. It explains the notion ‘virtual’ and its application in a few generations of user interface. Modern interfaces are chained with simulation technology. The meaning of simulation is strictly related to the notions: possible, actual, potential force. All of them are ingredients of ‘virtual’. Finally interfaces bring to the point: what virtual is?

summary	It is generally perceived that within the everyday work, there is a growing level of both the abstract and the virtual, especially for the teamwork participants dispersed within the global network. Purpose of this paper is to “translate” this feeling into a systematic scientific apparatus. The paper examines following factors: the time and place of mediation between participants, as well as personal and modal dimension. These factors are specified for communication tools used by architects.

title	Developing Architectonic Language Through Digital Observation
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2004.269
source	Architecture in the Network Society [22nd eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-2-4] Copenhagen (Denmark) 15-18 September 2004, pp. 269-277
summary	The question for architects is always how to begin. This proposal attempts to illustrate a design methodology that is characterised by its attention to non-traditional generators. The focus of the paper is the definition of an innovative design process characterised by the production of an architectonic language through the observation of the ephemeral and the transitory (the quanta of place), and which pays cognisance to the realization of a three-dimensional narrative, placing value upon the products of investigation as well as the resultant design. As the title suggests the process outlined concerns itself with the examination of the ephemeral, the transitory and the unobserved. The overriding concern is with the recording of fragments of a chosen environment (site) and, the collation and depiction of these findings in an alternative three-dimensional environment (virtual space). This process is only made possible by the advent of computer applications capable of generating the complexity of three-dimensional environments needed to explore the plethora of forms generated by the initial recordings. This process is concerned with the nascence of architectural expression and the formalising of architectural propositions composed from an individual’s interpretation of the ‘space between’, the obvious and the immaterial, and the phenomena that exist there. The generators are the things beyond immediate perception. They are the quanta of place. It is this process of capturing fixed moments in time and space and, translating imperceptible nanomoments and nanoevents, that allows for the development of exploratory diagrams constructed over a backdrop of credible analysis. These make apparent the infinite possibilities for further transition whilst illustrating the conceptual lineage that links each instance to its antecedents. The resultant physical forms embody the essence of something transformed. They possess cultural and emotional syntax. They become mementos in the landscape.

summary	This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the pedagogical implications and methods of integrating collaborative objects into architectural education and computer-aided architectural design. Over the past five years, our approach to education in design studios has embraced the concept of collaborative objects - digital objects augmented with networking capabilities. This conceptual framework allows for various forms of interaction and contribution to the design: from synchronous to asynchronous to distributed design activities. This has various consequences, both formal, as several people contribute to the creation of an architectural form, and informal, as the real time design process becomes a very social, human-centered, and community-driven activity - creating a wide variety of open, participatory architectures. Throughout multiple design studios, students engaged in hands-on projects, navigating the technical aspects of computational design as well as the intricacies of teamwork and collective creativity. This approach not only enhanced their understanding of digital architecture but also fostered a rich environment for collaborative learning and creativity. Our approach combined theoretical underpinnings with hands-on applications, ensuring a balanced educational experience. This paper reports on the key methods and concepts, their implications, and how they evolved over this period of extensive research by design on collective creativity in architectural education.

summary	The Venice has been in the middle of a lot of proposals and initiatives for some time that range from environmental restoration to the transformation of important areas of the ancient centre, from the renewal of the exibition spaces to the rationalisation of manufacturing areas and communications. Opinions as to how, where and whether to go ahead with these interventions are controversal and and they has been responsable for the current situation of status quo in Venice. Various proposals have been put foreword to semplify city control regulations to put into actions quickly and efficiently in the complicated context. Such methods supported by multimedia tools can efford the participation of the actors and the decision making. Application the Strategic Choice approach for the curring out of the projects proposed for the metropolitan area of Venice and the use of multimedia tools (visualisation and hypertext) to favour the involvement of the actors are described.

summary	The present situation of the educational procedures in Latin American countries are under a critical process of paradigmatic changes as a by product of the last connection with the industrial world and the first one of the “information society”. The design disciplines has been affected by this situation and started to be the main challenge for architects and designers in order to understand the potentialities of the new technologies avoiding to be used as simple “cliches”. Regarding digital technologies, the graduated and post graduated strategy for the new courses should be organized as flexible and open systems avoiding the “clip art” environment and the obsolete models of education. The “digital culture” combined with extensive procedures of “information technology” has defined an overwhelming expansion of “virtual services” (intangibles) in opposition of the “world of objects” (tangibles). Therefore we have been organized a new “digitaldesign”course at post graduated level comprising five careers (Architecture, Industrial, Graphic, Textil and Garment, and Imageand Sound Design) of our Faculty.

summary	In currently on-going project we develop methods and techniques for visualizing building services in our virtual room. At first we have established a conversion and transmission path from contractors’ lighting modeling software to virtual environment software. Secondly we have visualized air flow data in a photo-realistic room in such a way that a nonspecialist can easily understand the behavior of air flow. Thirdly we have developed navigation techniques which allow an arbitrary visitor to explore the model without guidance.

title	Designing Virtual Architecture: From Place to User Centred Design
source	International Journal of Design Computing, vol 4
summary	The internet and the World Wide Web have entered our daily lives and networked environments have become an important extension of our living environment. The effect of this is the definition of the place around us is expanded. Through the use of an architectural metaphor, we are now considering the use of place as a basis for organising our virtual environment and therefore raises the need for principles and models for designing virtual architecture. Virtual Architecture, or as others call it virtual worlds or cyberspace, interprets, represents and designs the World Wide Web as a place, which supports an extended range of online individual and collaborative activities. Different platforms currently in use for designing and implementing virtual architecture aim at providing 3D virtual worlds as the design outcome. This common aim has an emphasis on the visualisation of virtual architecture, resulting in an emphasis on the design of 3D place-like forms. In this article we present a range of development issues that lead us to change the focus from the design of place-centric to user-centric virtual architecture.

summary	The design of a virtual campus, while considering the role of technology in education, also can be influenced by the of place that more traditional architectural design provides. This approach need not result in a virtual campus that looks like a physical building, the main concept is to intricately link learning with an experience in a place with other people.
