summary	Recent introduction and coupling of digitally mediated design and production environments facilitated a radical deviation from the traditional ways of using representations, knowledge assets, organizational forms and standards. Consequently, we observe an abundance of the traditional views of design and the emergence of new cognitive models/constructs based on the emerging relationships between the designer, the design object (artefact), the design tools/systems and the organizational network of the various actors and their activities in building design & production. The paper reports on the initial findings of an ongoing research which aims to uncover the ways in which digitalization and digital tools have recently been adopted to the work practices of multidisciplinary firms and the evolving socio-technical networks and organizational infrastructures within architectural practice.

title	Pixel-Based Geometric Decoding of Mondrian Compositions
source	Gomez, P and Braida, F (eds.), Designing Possibilities - Proceedings of the XXV International Conference of the Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi 2021), Online, 8 - 12 November 2021, pp. 103–114
summary	This study explores the use of a computational method for decoding and encoding an art composition in the digital environment. Geometric decoding includes subdivision through color and shape. Five artworks of Mondrian, which contain simple but intense geometric data and have a unique composition style, are discussed in this context. Matrix-based expression of composition in terms of color and form with a code-based analysis allowed to definition of a control mechanism for existing geometric data. The aim of this decoding process, which follows segmentation and fragmentation methods, is to capture the common composition approach and particular comparison approach. Visual encoding, as the reverse of the decoding process, is the interpretation of the data obtained as a result of the analysis by assigning a color map. By this meanings, the matrixes and visual outputs enable the artworks to be compared according to the main composition style, or the similarities between them.

summary	Town planning requires conscious handling of the existing urban structure and knowledge about its history. Only so planned modifications and supplements can be integrated in a sustainable manner into existing urban structures and have lasting effects. Modern CAD environments offer basically the possibility of supporting necessary planning process through additional integrated tools. In the project ‘Turban’ CAD extensions were developed additionally, providing planners and students with fundamental tools for data-capture and analysis around the temporal process from town developments.

summary	In 1998, architecture schools in the three nation region of the upper Rhine came together to undertake a joint design studio. With the support of the Center for Entrepeneurship in Colmar, France, the schools worked on the reuse of the Kuenzer Mill situated near Herbolzheim, Germany. The students met jointly three times during the semester and then worked on the project at their home universities usng conventional methods. This project was essential to generating closer ties between the participating students, tutors and institutions and as such, the results were quite positive. So much so, that the organisers decided to repeat the exercise one year later. However, it became clear that although the students had met three times in large groups, the real success of a co-operative design studio would require mechanisms which allow far more intimate interaction among the participants, be they students, teachers or outside experts. The experiences from the Netzentwurf at the Institut für Industrielle Bauproduktion (ifib) showed the potential in a web based studio and the addition of ifib to the three nation group led to the development of the VuuA platform. The first project served to illuminate the the differences in teaching concepts among the partner institutions and their teaching staff as well as problems related to the integration of students from three countries with two languages and four different faculties: landscape architecture, interior design, architecture and urban planning. The project for the Fall of 1999 was the reuse of Fort Kléber in Wolfisheim by Strasbourg, France. The students again met on site to kick off the Semester but were also instructed to continue their cooperation and criticism using the VuuA platform.

summary	The linking of planning and production is today of crucial importance in architectural planning processes. Though the teaching of techniques and methods of rapid prototyping in universities is not up to date, since the needed machinery is too expensive and the students’ direct and perpetual access to a sufficient number of systems cannot be granted. This paper describes a teaching project where architectural students tried to plan, build and test a 3-axes mill for themselves and their fellow students. It further describes the motivation and realization of the class and the possibility to integrate self-made and low cost milling machines in the education of architecture students.

summary	The paper describes an ongoing cooperation of architecture students with museum educational services and visually impaired persons. The project aims at conveying non-haptic art like paintings or graphics in public exhibitions to visually impaired people (blind or partially sighted). The concept combines rapid prototyping technologies with art interpretation and strategies for transporting visual information by haptic expressions. To reach this goal the students produce small and haptic explorable exhibits of the paintings by using rapid prototyping technologies and manufacture hand-outs, which can be touched by the blind people during guided tours at the exhibition.

source	Computer-Aided Architectural Design Futures [CAAD Futures Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-408-05300-3] Delft (The Netherlands), 18-19 September 1985, pp. 235-245
summary	There is little CAAD in Polish architectural design offices, and only recently have practising architects discovered the computer. On the other hand, CAAD has been used for some time in research and development based at universities or in large design organizations. This chapter gives a broad picture of the computerization of building design in Poland, a complex process which concerns planning and financing, hardware, software, CAD practice, standardization, training, education, etc. Here architectural applications are treated on an equal basis, together with other applications representing design disciplines involved in design, such as structural and mechanical engineering. The underlying philosophy of this chapter is a belief that proper and well-balanced computerization of design in building which leaves creative work to human beings should result in better design and eventually in improvements in the built environment. Therefore integration of the design process in building seems more important for design practice than attempts to replace an architect by a computer, although the intellectual attraction of this problem is recognized.

summary	Kukje Art Center, Seoul’s new gallery designed by SO-IL, features a totally bespoke chainmail mesh system (submission note: the authors are not affiliated with SO-IL). A single sheet of complex-curved, tensioned mesh, made up of interlocking 40mm diameter stainless steel rings, wraps the building. This paper discusses the stages of a feedback loop process employed by the authors to refine a digital model of the mesh. The mesh’s perimeter attachment system does not prescribe ring locations, allowing the mesh to form find for itself during installation. As a result, the digital model must capture the behavioral tendencies of the mesh as it negotiates the building’s geometry. Paramount in meeting this challenge was the use of physical mockups. At each stage of the feedback loop process, the working digital model was used to develop a physical mockup of increased scale and complexity, and this mockup was used to refine the digital model. Ultimately, the model output of a mesh relaxation algorithm was used as the basis for engineering simulations and predictions of the mesh vertical ringcount needed at specific locations around the building. Mesh vertical ringcount predictions are validated relative to a 1:1 mockup and the installed Kukje Art Center mesh.

title	Building Synthetic Data Sets or How to Learn from Future Architectures?
source	ACADIA 2022: Hybrids and Haecceities [Proceedings of the 42nd Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 979-8-9860805-8-1].

summary	Simulating synthetic data can induce design speculation to machine learning applications. Leaning on density studies for modernist settlements, we propose an approach that mixes ratios of sets to generate buildings quickly. A case study exemplifies how quickly one can generate and analyze a set of buildings at the resolution of BIM modeling. We conclude that synthetic data sets could become a feature of daily design workflows due to being computationally inexpensive and easy to adapt.

title	Mereologies - Combinatorial Design and the Description of Urban Form.

summary	This paper discusses the ability to apply machine learning to the combinatorial design-assembly at the scale of a building to urban form. Connecting the historical lines of discrete automata in computer science and formal studies in architecture this research contributes to the field of additive material assemblies, aggregative architecture and their possible upscaling to urban design. The following case studies are a preparation to apply deep-learning on the computational descriptions of urban form. Departing from the game Go as a testbed for the development of deep-learning applications, an equivalent platform can be designed for architectural assembly. By this, the form of a building is defined via the overlap between separate building parts. Building on part-relations, this research uses mereology as a term for a set of recursive assembly strategies, integrated into the design aspects of the building parts. The models developed by research by design are formally described and tested under a digital simulation environment. The shown case study shows the process of how to transform geometrical elements to architectural parts based merely on their compositional aspects either in horizontal or three-dimensional arrangements.

summary	This paper aims to link the blockchain technology with property issues and in extend architectural design decisions at the urban scale. In an urban design context, this paper investigates the new potentials of urban form connected to the application of the logic of the blockchain to urban design. With this, the article concentrates on the distributed way of sharing information, with no intent to focus on cryptography issues related to the blockchain. Transferring the blockchain's core concepts of data distribution through ledgers, to patterns of shared and private owned spaces it can lead to what we propose as polyphonic spaces, with overlapping uses. Urban realm, designed as a chain, initiates with the binary condition of private and shared but handles it as a way to interact, through nesting, its initial parts. We think that the blockchain theory is capable of challenging architecture by shifting the weight from individual elements of composition to compound entities (block) that incorporate all the information needed.Please write your abstract here by clicking this paragraph.

summary	This paper contributes to investigations in the field of aggregative architecture, discrete material assemblies, combinatorial ontologies and their possible up-scaling and implications on urban design. It argues that the digital definition of being discrete is not compatible with earlier, semantic definitions and their connotations on larger scales. Comparable to the breakthroughs in additive assembly by the use of discrete computation this paper demonstrates that the upscaling of discrete notions leads to considerations on the nesting and grouping of parts, here referred to as mereology. Via the means of an exemplary study it introduces the vocabulary of mereology and shows how complex compositions can be articulated with a collection of part-to-whole relations.

title	Exploring Building Typologies and their Socioeconomic Contexts: Compositional Insights from Large-Scale-Text-to-Image Models
source	ACADIA 2023: Habits of the Anthropocene: Scarcity and Abundance in a Post-Material Economy [Volume 2: Proceedings of the 43rd Annual Conference for the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 979-8-9891764-0-3]. Denver. 26-28 October 2023. edited by A. Crawford, N. Diniz, R. Beckett, J. Vanucchi, M. Swackhamer 508-517.
summary	This study utilizes large-scale-text-to-image (LLI) models to investigate possibilities to describe building types data-centric. With the introduction of ""data-centric typologies"" we hope to challenge traditional architectural classification systems, while reviving type as an architectural strategy to link socio-economic contexts to the physical form of a place. By examining artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images of various city buildings, the research explores compositional characteristics, realism, and model limitations. We generated and segmented a synthetic dataset of 15,000 images into individual building segments, conducting a statistical analysis of compositional features across 500 cities. Despite dataset biases and limitations, our results indicate that synthetic databases provide a deeper analytical basis than traditional methods. The generated dataset alone paints forensic landscapes of locales that are not typically showcased. Particularly from a pedagogical perspective, data-centric investigations can serve as a valuable tool for illustrating the diversity of cities and living modes. The findings show that socio-economic attributes, like quality of life, are more closely tied to neighborhoods or projects than entire cities. Consequently, architectural typologies are most effective at a human-ori- ented scale, interfacing city with architecture.

summary	The paper deals with a close examination of several contemporary game engines regarding their usability for architectural visualisation that was conducted by third to fifth year students in a seminar context. The study examines the technology of these game engines with the main focus on graphic quality and adaptability to architectural purpose. The evaluation included not only the workflow of importing the 3D model into the engine but also general handling of the software and its user interface. The documentation of the test process and the evaluation of the various engines have been documented in a wiki compiled and written by the students. The information therein and the cost-benefit analyses provided for every engine should assist future users to quickly find the most suitable game engine for their specific purposes.

title	Perspective Vienna – A Comparison of Planning Scenarios and Real Development
source	CORP 2003, Vienna University of Technology, 25.2.-28.2.2003 [Proceedings on CD-Rom]
summary	With the suspension of national boarders in unions of nations, cities and their regions gain in significance for the economic, social and cultural development. This is particularly valid for Vienna, which lies close to the eastern boarder of the European Union, which should fall with the enlargement of EU in the near future. Of prominent importance is therefore to obtain a comprehensive understanding between proposed and defined aims for an urban development, the related measures and their extent ofimplementations and their actual or real effects. This paper attempts to give a strategic analysis of the Viennese urban and traffic development programs, from 1962, 1972, 1984 and 1994, on the one hand, and the data analysis of the statistical year books beginning from 1960 until 2000, on the other. The results show that adjustments have been made not only in response to certain trends, but also to a change of philosophy of urban development. It can be seen that certain assumptions of, for example, economic and transport measures can have the opposite outcome in relation to the intended objectives. Hence, one main question remains to beanswered: How should Vienna deal with the challenges ahead, to secure and foster a sustainable development under such circumstances on a long-term basis. In this respect, some measures are given, which should make it possible to overcome successfully these challenges.

summary	There are a lot of discussions about digitalizing university teaching and opening it to civil society. In this context, we investigate the current options for setting up and distributing video-based online courses. First, we make a review of a subjectively selected set of existing platforms and technologies for video-based online courses. Next, we discuss the needs of futures online teaching concepts and the corresponding challenges of digitalization for university teaching. We summarize essential aspects of the considered platforms, technologies, and today's examples in tables. The main result is an overview of systems that can be used to start your online teaching initiative with a small budget.

summary	In the Space Syntax community, the standard tool for computing all kinds of spatial graph network measures is depthmapX (Varoudis, 2012). The process of evaluating many design variants of networks is relatively complicated, since they need to be drawn in a separated CAD system, exported and imported in depthmapX via dxf file format. This procedure disables a continuous integration into a design process. Furthermore, the standalone character of depthmapX makes it impossible to use its network centrality calculation for optimization processes. To overcome this limitations, we present in this paper the first steps of experimenting with a Grasshopper component (Varoudis, 2016) that can access the functions of depthmapX and integrate them into Grasshopper/Rhino3D. Here the component is implemented in a way that it can be used directly for an evolutionary algorithm (EA) implemented in a Python scripting component in Grasshopper.
