title	Fractal-Based Computational Approach and Visual Complexity Analysis of Indian Traditional Stepwell Chand Baori
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2023.2.009
source	Immanuel Koh, Dagmar Reinhardt, Mohammed Makki, Mona Khakhar, Nic Bao (eds.), HUMAN-CENTRIC - Proceedings of the 28th CAADRIA Conference, Ahmedabad, 18-24 March 2023, pp. 9–18
summary	This paper uses the notion of fractal geometry to understand the underlying geometric rule behind the complex appearance of traditional Indian stepwells, taking the reference of Chand Baori, which is one of the most stunning and complex stepwells in India. Stepwells were mainly designed for religious, water conservation, and social purposes. This paper indicates those aspects in exploring the complex arrangement of the repetitive self-similar stair units in Chand Baori. The geometric quality of self-similar repetition resulting in a complex outcome can be systematically described by fractal geometry. Hence, this paper has adopted a fractal-based computational approach to model the Chand Baori stepwell, including a new stepwell design followed by the Sierpinski triangle, a canonical example of mathematical fractals. The fractal dimension method has been applied at the end to analyze the visual complexity of Chand Baori.

title	The Generation and Degeneration of Form Using CAAD: Uncertain Certainty
source	Approaches to Computer Aided Architectural Composition [ISBN 83-905377-1-0] 1996, pp. 71-90
summary	Much contemporary architectural speculation is concerned with the exploration of 'free-form' composition, images located somewhere between the chimeric and the amorphous. While built manifestations are thin on the ground, the prevalence of 'formlessness' or 'inexactness' in competition entries and architecture schools may suggest a need for a critical response to develop at a similar rate as architectural software application. But how 'new' is the emergent free-form?

summary	The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) defines "refugees" as people forced to leave their country because of armed conflict, widespread violence and massive human rights violations. This paper presents and discusses a methodology for implementing a refugee camp in the context of the migration of southern Sudanese to Uganda. The proposal involves an intersection between 3D printing technology of LDM (Liquid Deposition Modeling) process, using soil as the main input, and participatory bottom-up processes in order to promote gradual technical and creative autonomy, sense of community and mental health of these people.

summary	In this article it is proposed a study of reinforced concrete shells modeling, taking as case study the shell roof building designed by Candela in Xochimilco, Los Manantiales. The approach for this study is related to the comprehension of both project methodologies: the one before the use of the new emerging technologies and the one after. The objective of this study is to measure the structural efficiency of shells designed by both approaches and, simultaneously, how the emergence of new computational technologies and software’s could influence in the design process in the civil engineering and architecture’s design.

summary	Starting of the reflections on the contributions of the Complex Thinking to the adoption of a new optic, able to embrace questions related to the conception of spacialties in architecture, this project constitutes an experiment of space-time relations enlargement, between subjects and objects, in the design of hybrid spacialities. The project try to put the architect, not only as a conceiver of concrete structures, but also as the subject that conceives hybrid spacialities, the designer of virtual spacialities integrated to the concrete.

source	SIGraDi 2006 - [Proceedings of the 10th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Santiago de Chile - Chile 21-23 November 2006, pp. 90-94
summary	This paper aims at discussing how computational environments could give support to complex approaches of architectural design process. Focusing on generative design, the main goal is to allow the perception of architecture more as system than as object: form, structure and organization as emergences in non-linear, autoorganizational processes. It involves the interaction of a vast universe of factors and flows that performs as attractors or repellers for the architecture-systems evolution in time. The ideas presented here are results of the Master Research in Architecture and Complex Thought of Clarissa Ribeiro, and are part of a larger questioning about the relation of architectural design process and digital culture, discussed in our research group Nomads.USP [Center for Interactive Living Studies, http://www.eesc. usp. br/nomads].

title	Single- and Multilayer Large-Span Membrane Structures for Daylight, Energy Control, and Savings
source	1982? PP. 177-183 : ill. includes bibliography
summary	This paper examines membrane-covered structures. Such structures offer many advantages and their cost of construction is lower than that of equivalent alternatives. However, these thin, single-layer membrane covers cannot provide the control of daylight and heat required to make them environmentally satisfactory and energy-efficient. To improve the performance of membrane covers, a new solution has been studied. Double-layer membranes can be built without severe technical difficulties and provide a much higher degree of static and dynamic control. Further work is being carried out to study the option of incorporating into the two layer membrane structures solar collectors between the layers, thus converting the large area of the membrane cover into an active solar system

title	Representation of Many-Sided Polygons and Polygonal Lines for Rapid Processing
source	communications of the ACMò. March, 1977. vol. 20: pp. 166-171 : ill. includes bibliography
summary	A representation for polygons and polygonal lines is described which allows sets of consecutive sides to be collectively examined. The set of sides are arranged in a binary tree hierarchy by inclusion. A fast algorithm for testing the inclusion of a point in a many-sided polygon is given. The speed of the algorithm is discussed for both ideal and practical examples. It is shown that the points of intersection of two polygonal lines can be located by what is essentially a binary tree search. The algorithm and a practical example are discussed. The representation overcomes many of the disadvantages associated with the various fixed- grid methods for representing curves and regions

title	Archigram: an analogical way of looking at the digital
source	SIGraDi 2005 - [Proceedings of the 9th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Lima - Peru 21-24 november 2005, vol. 1, pp. 453-458
summary	In this article we investigate how the Archigram Group used computer logics and concepts as inspiration for architectural projects without ever actually using computers. By developing principles as varied and as pop as expendable architecture, customization, individualism, consumerism and mutation, the architects managed to work with concepts like software architecture, space of flux and dematerialization. When compared to the writings of contemporary theorists and designers of computer-mediated architecture, we see that the Archigram Group has been able to forecast much of the current concerns of the architecture that deal with digital and virtual spaces. Without literally digitalizing their projects or spaces, they have been able to achieve information-based architectural design. [Full paper in Portuguese]

title	BACnetTM: a standard communication infrastructure for intelligent buildings
source	Automation in Construction 6 (5-6) (1997) pp. 529-540
summary	Intelligent buildings require integration of a variety of computer-based building automation and control system products that are usually made by different manufacturers. The exchange of information among these devices is critical to the successful operation of the building systems. Proprietary approaches to providing this communication have created great challenges for system integrators and hampered the development of intelligent building technology. Even though digital automation and control technology has been widely available for more than a decade and islands of automation are common, intelligent buildings with integrated building services are still more of a promise than a reality. BACnetTM is a standard communication protocol for building automation and control networks developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE, Standard 135-1995: BACnetTM--A Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks. American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning Engineers. Atlanta, Georgia, USA, 1995). BACnetTM provides the communication infrastructure needed to integrate products made by different vendors and to integrate building services that are now independent. This paper describes the main features of the BACnetTM protocol and early experience implementing it.

title	Addressing Flood Resilience In Jakarta‚s Kampungs Through The Use Of Sequential Evolutionary Simulations
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.1.655
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. 655-664
summary	The urban superblock of Kampung Melayu, located in Jakarta, Indonesia, is a typology amalgamated by the environmental and infrastructural challenges caused by Jakarta‚s urban sprawl. Rapid and unregulated urban growth, fluctuating tropical conditions, rising sea levels and unprecedented environmental stresses have led to a city that is sinking, leaving unregulated low-income settlements, such as Kampung Melayu, most vulnerable. To address these issues, the presented research employs the use of a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm for an in-depth analysis of the various relationships within the urban fabric. The simulations present an alternative urban approach to the design of a flood resilient Kampung; addressing environmental and demographic stresses while maintaining the irregularity that has become ingrained in the history of the urban form.

title	Urban flood resilience in Kampung Melayu: A multi-objective evolutionary approach
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing 2023, Vol. 21 - no. 3, 478–497
summary	The superblock of Kampung Melayu in Jakarta, Indonesia, is an urban morphology amalgamated by the environmental and infrastructure challenges raised by Jakarta’s inevitable urban growth. Low-income settlements like Kampung Melayu are particularly susceptible as a result of the city’s rapid and uncontrolled urban sprawl, erratic tropical weather, increasing sea levels and unparalleled environmental stresses. The proposed research utilises a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) for an in-depth investigation of the many relationships within the urban fabric to address these difficulties. The experiments demonstrate an alternate urban strategy for a flood-resilient Kampung that investigates the selection techniques coupled with the use of population-based algorithms. While preserving the irregularity that has been ingrained in the history of the urban form, the results address the environmental and demographic stresses of the urban village.

summary	Designers and design managers are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities of creativity and innovation (Langdon and Rothwell 1985). These two phenomena can be seen as complementary dimensions of a differentiation cycle where design plays a key value-adding role that gradually reduces through commoditisation. However, there is a lack of relevant evidence to explain the link between creativity and innovation. Creativity is increasingly considered as occurring in the interaction between the individual generator of an idea and a group of evaluators (Sawyer et al 2003). However, most studies have regarded the generation of a solution -and not its social impact- as the outcome of the creative process (Runco and Pritzker 1999). Accordingly, computational modelling of creativity has been mainly conducted in a social void (Boden 1999).

title	Towards morphogenetic assemblies: Evolving performance within component-based structures
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2011.515
source	Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / The University of Newcastle, Australia 27-29 April 2011, pp. 515-524
summary	Performative design can be understood as the combined usage of spatial analysis simulations and form generation procedures to imbue architectural form with material characteristics and behaviours which define desirable structural, environmental and economic performance. However, to date, design processes that facilitate the integration of ‘form generation’ and ‘spatial analysis’ remain under-developed, making existing performative design methodologies highly reliant upon the manual execution of analysis and evaluation procedures. This paper presents an evolutionary design process that uses integrative computational pipelines and generatively defined component-based assemblies to produce performative structures in response to solar performance. The resulting structures demonstrate how performative composite behaviour can emerge within ‘disassociated’ componential assemblies and produce complex formal interrelationships which surpass simplistic parametric logics. This offers new possibilities for conceiving highly integrated ‘morphogenetic assemblies’ and suggests trajectories for further research within the field of morphogenetic design.

summary	Mindstage is a multi-user real-time 3D environment in which is embedded a lecture on film design by Christopher Hobbs. The spatial design follows the structure of the lecture, and is richly illustrated with stills and film clips. The environment, implemented in Virtools, proved to be a visually intriguing combination of architectural, filmic and virtual space, though it was found that co-presence induced some problems with the concept of time.

source	Architectural Research Quarterly Vol 3 No 4. CUP, Cambridge
summary	Cambridge University and Microsoft are planning a shared computer research and teaching laboratory on a green-field site to the west of the city. The clients wished to use internet based communication between themselves and their architects, including email, a web site and virtual reality. We explain how this is to be achieved, and describe experiences during the first half of a two-year project. Particularly successful has been the use of games software (QuakeII) for 3D presentation of the emerging building design.

title	Does Knowledge really Help?
source	G. Carrara and Y.E. Kalay (Eds.), Knowledge-Based Computer-Aided Architectural Design, Elsevier
summary	The Martin Centre CADLAB has recently been established to investigate software techniques that could be of practical importance to architects within the next five years. In common with most CAD researchers, we are interested in the earlier, conceptual, stages of design, where commercial CAD systems have had little impact. Our approach is not Knowledge-Based, but rather focuses on using the computer as a medium for design and communication. This leads to a concentration on apparently superficial aspects such as visual appearance, the dynamics of interaction, immediate feedback, plasticity. We try to avoid building-in theoretical attitudes, and to reduce the semantic content of our systems to a low level on the basis that flexibility and intelligence are inversely related; and that flexibility is more important. The CADLAB became operational in January 1992. First year work in three areas – building models, experiencing architecture, and making drawings – is discussed.
