title	Enhancing Therapeutic Experiences: The Role of Geometry, Color, and Texture
source	ACADIA 2023: Habits of the Anthropocene: Scarcity and Abundance in a Post-Material Economy [Volume 1: Projects Catalog of the 43rd Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 979-8-9860805-8-1]. Denver. 26-28 October 2023. edited by A. Crawford, N. Diniz, R. Beckett, J. Vanucchi, M. Swackhamer 22-33.
summary	This project explores the implementation of parametric patterning, digital fabrication, and complex geometries in the creation of a private pediatric neurology clinic. The clinic challenges the conventional utilitarian approach of medical spaces by incorporating color, texture, and geometry to establish a light-filled and lively environment for both patients and staff. Through a careful organization of programmatic spaces, the design optimizes circulation paths, ensuring seamless movement for medical practitioners while providing comfortable waiting areas for patients. The integration of custom-designed elements, such as CNC-milled acoustic felt cladding and a feature wall derived from a CT scan of the human brain, serves to enhance the visual and tactile experiences of children with neurological disorders.

title	Energy-driven Intelligent Generative Urban Design, Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning Method With a Nested Deep Q-R Network
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.1.233
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. 233-242
summary	To attain "carbon neutrality," lowering urban energy use and increasing the use of renewable resources have become critical concerns for urban planning and architectural design. Traditional energy consumption evaluation tools have a high operational threshold, requiring specific parameter settings and cross-disciplinary knowledge of building physics. As a result, it is difficult for architects to manage energy issues through 'trial and error' in the design process. The purpose of this study is to develop an automated workflow capable of providing urban configurations that minimizing the energy use while maximizing rooftop photovoltaic power potential. Based on shape grammar, parametric meta models of three different urban forms were developed and batch simulated for its energy performance. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is introduced to find the optimal solution of the urban geometry. A neural network was created to fit a real-time mapping of urban form indicators to energy performance and was utilized to predict reward for the DRL process, namely a Deep R-Network, while nested within a Deep Q-Network. The workflow proposed in this paper promotes efficiency in optimizing the energy performance of solutions in the early stages of design, as well as facilitating a collaborative design process with human-machine interaction.

title	An Approach to 3D Conceptual Modelling
source	Computing in Architecture / Re-Thinking the Discourse: The Second International Conference of the Arab Society for Computer Aided Architectural Design (ASCAAD 2006), 25-27 April 2006, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
summary	This article presents a 3D user interface required by the development of conceptual modeling. This 3D user interface provides a new structure for solving the problems of difficult interface operations and complicated commands due to the application of CAD 2D interface for controlling 3D environment. The 3D user interface integrates the controlling actions of “seeing – moving –seeing” while designers are operating CAD (Schön and Wiggins, 1992). Simple gestures are used to control the operations instead. The interface also provides a spatial positioning method which helps designers to eliminate the commands of converting a coordinate axis. The study aims to discuss the provision of more intuitively interactive control through CAD so as to fulfil the needs of designers. In our practices and experiments, a pair of LED gloves equipped with two CCD cameras for capturing is used to sense the motions of hands and positions in 3D. In addition, circuit design is applied to convert the motions of hands including selecting, browsing, zoom in / zoom out and rotating to LED switches in different colours so as to identify images.

title	Reinforcement Learning for Architectural Design-Build - Opportunity of Machine Learning in a Material-informed Circular Design Strategy
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.171
source	A. Globa, J. van Ameijde, A. Fingrut, N. Kim, T.T.S. Lo (eds.), PROJECTIONS - Proceedings of the 26th CAADRIA Conference - Volume 1, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Online, Hong Kong, 29 March - 1 April 2021, pp. 171-180
summary	This paper discusses the potentials of reinforcement learning in game engine for design, implementation, and construction of architecture. It inaugurates a new design tool that promotes a material-informed design-build workflow for architectural design and construction industries that achieves a comprehensive circular economy. As a proof of concept, it uses the project Reform Standard, a machine-learning-based searching system that designs new shell structures composed of existing wasted materials, as a demonstration to discuss how reinforcement learning, machine vision and automated searching algorithm in the game engine can promote a material-aware design and converts wastes into construction materials. The demonstrator project sorts and transforms irregular chunks of wasted broken plastics into a new form. Instead of recycling those wastes in an energy-intensive process, the game engine is capable of finding the intricacy and new machine-oriented aesthetics in those otherwise neglected wastes. Furthermore, future research directions such as robotic-aided construction are discussed by exposing the potentials and problems in the demonstrated project. Finally, the future circular strategy is discussed beyond the demonstrated tests and local uses. The standardization of material, legislation and material lifecycle needs to be comprehensively considered and designed by architects and designers during conceptual design phase.

title	Computer Daylight Simulation Systems: An Experimental Evaluation
source	III Congreso Iberoamericano de Grafico Digital [SIGRADI Conference Proceedings] Montevideo (Uruguay) September 29th - October 1st 1999, pp. 115-120
summary	This paper investigates Daylight Simulation Systems in computer visualization programs. Computer visualization has provided qualitative appearance in architectural presentation. There are two aspects, one objective and another subjective, that should be considered in lighting simulation. The objective aspect is concerned with accurate prediction of daylight levels. The subjective aspect is associated with the evaluation of lighting quality. The objective aspect of lighting has often been neglected by visualization designers during the process of simulation. The relevant concepts of lighting to ensure accurate simulation techniques have been defined in order to highlight and resolve the dilemma of accurate lighting visualization. The interactive relationship between material simulation and lighting simulation has also been investigated. In addition, there is a discussion to determine how realistic and artistic the current approaches on lighting simulation are for architectural design presentation. This paper has attempted to provide guidance for the future development of visualization programs and information on innovative ways to accommodate computer visualization for architectural usage and needs.

summary	The paper introduces the initial finding of Pleurotus ostreatus (PO) mycelium growing on the Phyllostachys makinoi (PM) bamboo substrate and taking advantage of mycelium composite's elevated compressive strength, lightweight, and thermal insulation properties; this study proposes a structural module system for a barrel vault structure. This research investigated 5:1, 2:1, and 1:1 bamboo-fiber and bamboo-powder mixtures with 5% C6H12O6 and 65% water growing in a 25°C controlled environment. Due to the powder form of the PM substate, PO mycelium has easy access to the pentosan inside the substrate. As a result, the 1:1 ratio mixture has a higher growing rate than the 5:1 and 2:1 mixture. The experiment also indicates that the mycelium composite wall thickness shall be less than 40 mm for optimal PO mycelium growth when using PM substrate.

summary	In this paper, we describe Internet and Architecture (i+a), a research and teaching program, startedfour years ago at Harvard Design School, to explore the possibilities that lie in the convergence of aphysical with a virtual architecture. The approach starts with the analysis of everyday verbs and thechanges that occur in the virtualization of everyday situations, and moves on to critically rethinkexisting architectural typologies and develop new architectures that combine physical and virtualcomponents. This paper describes our experiences with the approach in the year 2001-2002. Wepresent samples of design projects as illustrative examples of new architectural typologies thatcombine the physical and virtual, and describe how incorporating technologies for virtual collaborationinto the design process can enhance architectural practice in the broadest sense.

title	Dynamic Urban Information Model: Integrated Approach to Strategic Urban Redevelopment
source	Sixth International Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design Futures [ISBN 9971-62-423-0] Singapore, 24-26 September 1995, pp. 399-408
summary	This paper describes a prototype Dynamic Urban Information Model (DUIM) designed to facilitate strategic urban redevelopment, that is, the process of determining precise architectural interventions to set off, guide and condition redevelopment activities. The idea of the DUIM is based on the notion that in order to attain effective strategic redevelopment, an integrated approach addressing the complex interactions of the factors involved in urban life and growth is required. Accordingly, an urban model for this purpose must include not only spatial and formal considerations, but also social, political, economical and ecological aspects. Through a case-study involving the redevelopment of a post-industrial site, this paper explains the rationale of the DUIM in terms of its formal structure, its database, and its application.

title	Interorganizational Systems in Design
source	Harvard University, Graduate School of Design
summary	This thesis employs recent developments in coordination theory to analyze and map the coordination processes among participating firms in building design. The process model enables an understanding of the activities and dependencies in the collaborative design process, based on which potential implications of Interorganizational Information Systems (IOS), such as concurrent design platforms, vertical information links and electronic marketplaces, can be understood and critically assessed. Part One defines the parameters of the research, and contrasts the implementation of IOS in the aerospace, automobile and consulting industry to the state of practice in the building design industry. From the comparison, the need for fundamentally rethinking and redesigning the building design process is derived. Part Two describes how this can be accomplished by making the coordination processes in building design explicit. The building design process is decomposed into its core activities and dependencies, and new ways of recomposing the processes are identified which use alternative coordination mechanisms facilitated by IOS. Part Three describes the implications of the process model. Suggestions for appropriate IOS are made, and evidence of IOS applications in design is given in the analysis of four field studies, and in an example redesign of a design process.

summary	Abstract: This paper searches for an alternative design method of integrating traditional material craft and computational design. It begins by analyzing Chinese philosophical view of nature, and proposes a natural design built method. The paper demonstrates the idea with two bamboo structure projects. In China, bamboo is closely linked to culture values and traditional craftsmanship. The projects research on the formation logic of bamboo system, and employs computational design method to activate the system formation. The projects strive to investigate computational design with unique eastern characteristics, to find out how it can help to reinvent its traditional values, and to search for a unification of formation logic and material sensibility.

source	CAADRIA 2007 [Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia] Nanjing (China) 19-21 April 2007
summary	Presently, only a small percentage of people in the world typically hire an architect to design and build a home which is tailored to their preference. Besides the architect’s fee, clients also need to wait an interminable time for design and construction. Factory-made prefabricated housing systems tried to solve this problem previously. However, most pioneers failed to address the issues of variability and individual needs (Kieran & Timberlake, 2004). Plants closed because they produced more than the market demand, and prefabricated housing provided less flexibility than the traditional stick-built housing. The advanced digital technology makes it possible to communicate design ideas and concepts to others more effectively. The project delivery process leads itself to customization, embodying principles of lean production (Pine, 1993), flexible computer-integrated design interaction with clients, and reduced cycle times; all effecting rapid response between consumers and producers.

summary	The regeneration of the industrial waterfront is a global issue, and its significance lies in transforming the waterfront brownfield into an eco-friendly, hospitable, and vibrant urban space. However, the industrial waterfront naturally has comparatively unmanageable morphological features, including linear shape, irregular waterfront boundary, and separation with urban networks. Therefore, how to subdivide the vacant land and determine the land-use type for each subdivision becomes a challenging problem. Accordingly, this study proposes an application of machine learning models. It allows the generation of morphological elements of the vacant industrial waterfront by comparing the before-and-after scenarios of successful regeneration projects. The data collected from New York City is used as a showcase of this method.

summary	The labour shortage is impacting the construction industry globally, and 3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology is considered a solution for such an issue by using robots instead of manpower in building construction. However, due to the unstable mechanical properties of the fresh-state concrete, current 3DCP building forms exclude a massive number of options, one of them being the overhang shape. Therefore, this paper introduces bionic wrinkles to improve the overhang of 3DCP shell prototypes and demonstrates the feasibility of this idea through three groups of buckling simulations. This study proves that surface wrinkles can improve the in-process mechanical properties as well as the overhang capacity of shell structures. In the best scenario, the original design which only reached 30° overhang can be promoted to 77.5°. Besides, the applications of all wrinkle types are robust.
