title	The design and implementation of a large-scale 3D Printing system with tensegrity and cable-suspended parallel robotic system
source	Ji-Hyun Lee (Eds.) "Hello, Culture!" [18th International Conference, CAAD Futures 2019, Proceedings / ISBN 978-89-89453-05-5] Daejeon, Korea, pp. 473-484
summary	In this paper, a novel design of 3D printing system is presented. We proposed a large-scale 3D printing system with tensegrity structure and cablesuspended parallel robotic system(CPR). It has an advantage in the construction field, especially for building habitats in extreme environment such as Mars. Compare to a currently used 3D printer, and it has lightweight and a wide range of workspace. We implemented a 3D printer with CPR and tensegrity framework. The project is an initiation of a long-term research; accordingly, this paper limits its work scope by demonstrating the 3D printability of the system with CPR and developing a tensegrity framework. To validate 3D printability, we independently tested two scenarios. One is a table-size 3D printing validation as a fast prototype, and the other one is a small building-size 3D printing for testing large-scale 3D printability. As a validation, we used an LED bulb attached on a 3D printer head to trace its movements in workspace. We illustrate that the use of CPR is highly effective and scalable system for a large-scale 3D printing; additionally, tensegrity could be an effective alternative for its structural framework.

summary	Growing number of Building Information Modeling (BIM) applications have supported the automated assessment of building design and its quality in the early phase of design. For increasing the accuracy and fineness of assessment, rule interpretations require logical base and standardization of analysis process. Therefore, some government-funded research projects have focused on this rule-making process separated from the rule-checking process. Specifically, KBimLogic is a logic rule-based mechanism designed for the building permit related rules in Korea Building Act sentences. As a com-puter-readable definition of a rule, KBimCode has been developed to be executed in actual rule-checking software. The limitation of such code is the visibility to the rule experts who are usually non- or novice programmers. This paper describes much intuitive way of defining and generating KBimCode through KBim Visual Language. User can easily query the building element and method through the immanent connection with KBimLogic database. By using the KBim Visual Language, various types of rules written in design guideline, international standardization, and national acts can be easily interpreted into computer-readable formats such as KBimCode in order to proceed with the automated rule-checking.

summary	Virtual reality (VR) can enhance users' spatial perception by enabling spatial design activities. Conversely, the VR environment provides more visual information for the user to process than the desktop environment, resulting in a low efficiency of the design process. This study aims to verify whether VR can have a distinctive influence on the spatial design experience compared to the desktop environment. We conducted user studies on design experience in VR and desktop environments to accomplish this goal. The results revealed that participants‚ satisfaction with the design experience was higher in VR; however, the task completion was more time consuming than in the desktop environment.

title	3D Concrete Printing Frame Structure in Granular Medium
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.3.263
source	Nicole Gardner, Christiane M. Herr, Likai Wang, Hirano Toshiki, Sumbul Ahmad Khan (eds.), ACCELERATED DESIGN - Proceedings of the 29th CAADRIA Conference, Singapore, 20-26 April 2024, Volume 3, pp. 263–270
summary	The field of architecture is experiencing an increase in demand for custom fabrication methods, driven by the advancements in digital design tools and techniques. However, in conventional concrete construction systems, achieving extensive customization often leads to high costs and prolonged fabrication times due to the complexities associated with formwork fabrication. This paper presents an alternative 3D concrete printing method named Concrete Printing in Granular Medium (CPGM). Unlike the current layered extrusion 3D printed concrete technology, CPGM extrudes concrete within a granular medium, which enables greater freedom in printable geometry without being limited by gravity constraints. The primary aim of CPGM is to facilitate the rapid fabrication of intricate concrete elements by removing the stacking process involved in layered extrusion. This paper outlines the design and fabrication workflow of the CPGM method and presents a case study involving creating a scaled model of a single-objective optimized concrete frame structure. Through proof-of-concept projects, the paper explores the potential benefits, current challenges, and future development of CPGM.

title	Density Gradient Concrete Fabrication With Injection 3D Gypsum Printing
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.2.079
source	Nicole Gardner, Christiane M. Herr, Likai Wang, Hirano Toshiki, Sumbul Ahmad Khan (eds.), ACCELERATED DESIGN - Proceedings of the 29th CAADRIA Conference, Singapore, 20-26 April 2024, Volume 2, pp. 79–88
summary	Optimizing the material distribution of concrete elements has the potential to decrease concrete consumption and improve structural efficiency by reducing weight without altering the overall geometry. The challenge lies in making variable internal material densities of concrete elements. This study introduces the fabrication method of Injection 3D Gypsum Printing (IGP), which allows for creating functionally graded density of concrete elements. IGP removes concrete locally by injecting a gypsum-based temporary support material during the concrete casting. The water-soluble temporary support material injected into the liquid concrete is later removed by jetting water after the concrete cures. This system aims to fabricate topology-optimized structure designs while minimizing the additional construction steps and formwork requirements from the conventional casting construction system. This method combines effective material-saving digital fabrication strategies with conventional concrete construction's efficient reinforcement and casting processes. The study examines the material design and custom fabrication setup of IGP through initial feasibility experiments. Additionally, it presents IGP methods and applications through two proof-of-concept case studies. The digitally controlled material removal method introduced in this study holds potential as a material-saving strategy in future concrete construction.

source	Computing in Design - Enabling, Capturing and Sharing Ideas [ACADIA Conference Proceedings / ISBN 1-880250-04-7] University of Washington (Seattle, Washington / USA) October 19-22, 1995, pp. 75-95
summary	The design problem has a multi-disciplinary nature and the design itself evolves as solutions are attempted by the designer. To support inter-disciplinary communication of design concepts and decisions, the integration of relevant CAAD tools is essential. Based upon a large set of design criteria and all corresponding knowledge, with the help of computer aided design tools, the result could be highly effective and novel. The integration of CAAD tools should be performed on the basis of generating better solutions by enabling designers to manipulate and appraise various solutions quickly and with a minimum of effort. The proposed system provides the foundations for a seamless and continuous working environment for architects and building engineers through a data modelling module, an integrated data management framework and various design tools. In the environment, stand-alone design tools can be plugged-in in order to access information stored in central databases. The suggested data modelling module helps integrated CAAD systems represent and exchange domain dependent design information at a semantic level, such as exchanging components and features of a building rather than graphical primitives. The suggested data management framework supports the straight-forward mechanisms for controlling the data representation through the inter-connected modules and design tools.

title	Data representations in an integrated architectural design environment
source	University of Strathclyde, Dept. of Architecture and Building Science
summary	The architectural design process is very complex and involves cross-disciplinary communication among many related fields. Given the further problems arising from the technological advances in building materials and construction methods, an integrated design environment becomes a central design issue. There have been many attempts to analyse and structure the design process as a uniform hierarchical framework. Most of the attempts resulted in a vague and inappropriate outcome due to the lack of understanding of architectural design complexity and inconsistent design data control sequence. A design problem cannot be comprehensively stated because the design problem has a multi-disciplinary nature and the design problem itself evolves as solutions are attempted by the designer. Therefore, an ideal CAAD system should have the capability to accommodate the multi-disciplinary nature of design and should not prescribe or restrict design concepts and design knowledge. A well designed integrated design environment provides more information and invokes creative imagination for each design stage, and therefore creative decision making by the designer can be achieved. This thesis proposes a prototype architectural design environment, Hybrid Integrated Design Environment [HIDE], which aims to integrate all applications for designing a building. Within the object-oriented design environment, a unified data model and a data management system have been implemented to seamlessly connect all applications. Development of the environment needs to consider the fundamental interaction between each module. Devising a data structure that is appropriate to an effective data communication among the various design stages is essential in a totally integrated CAAD system. The suggested unified data model organizes the structure of the design data to keep the design consistent throughout the design and construction process. By means of the unified data model, integrated CAAD systems could represent and exchange design information at a semantic level, i.e. the user’s way of thinking, such as exchanging components and features of a building rather than graphical primitives. In consequence, the unified data model reduces the misunderstandings and communication problems among the multiple disciplines of architectural design. The suggested data management system supports the consistent and straight forward mechanisms for controlling the data representation through the inter-connected modules. It is responsible for creating, maintaining, and viewing a consistent database of the design description. It also helps to perform effective data communication among the various design stages to ensure quality and time saving in the final construction of the building. To support inter-disciplinary communication of design concepts and decisions, the integrating of relevant CAAD tools is essential. In the environment, the integration of CAAD tools has been performed on the basis of how well computerized design tools can assist designers to develop better solutions, enabling them to manipulate and appraise varying solutions quickly and with a minimum of effort in an environment conducive to creative design. A well designed user interface system can also benefit the seamless working environment. The proposed user friendly interface system allows a user to explore the environment in a highly interactive manner. From the development of the early data model to the final design, a user could benefit from the prototypes and methods of the user interface system. The ultimate goal of the prototype environment is to suggest a future design environment which helps the architect to have minimum discontinuity in his creativity and make the design process similar to the natural design process with the help of a set of design assistance modules. A prototype version of HIDE has been implemented and a demonstration of the environment is part of this thesis.

The core data model supports semantically meaningful descriptions of buildings. The data management system supports consistent and straightforward mechanisms for controlling the data representation through interconnected modules.

summary	The architectural design process is very complex and it is not easily confined to a single design environment. As the design process gets more complex due to the technological advances in building materials and construction methods, an integrated design system becomes a central design issue. To have an integrated design system, all applications should be integrated in a unified environment within which there should be a data structure to facilitate an effective data communication among the various design stages and data control facility to seamlessly connect all these applications. A primary purpose of this work is to suggest an object oriented architectural design environment for the essential part of the seamless environment for designing a building. Within the object-oriented design environment, a unified data model and detailed data control module have been implemented to seamlessly connect all these applications. The unified data model organizes the structure of the design data to keep the design consistent throughout the design and construction process. It also helps to do effective data communication among the various design stages to ensure quality and time saving in the final construction of the building. The data management module supports the consistent and easy mechanisms in controlling the data representation through the inter-connected modules. It is also responsible for creating, maintaining, and viewing a consistent database of the design description. In the suggested design environment, each architectural element partially describes the model and individual elements are aggregated hierarchically. Some parts of the projection are defined and other can be inherited from above. Also, creation of an improved or new design element can easily be accommodated in the environment. The integrated database in the suggested environment is the basis by which design data can be shared among the design tools of the design environment. The database organizes the design description within each representation, correlates equivalent descriptions across the representations, and attempts to maintain these correspondences as the design incrementally evolves.

title	A Design System for Concurrent Reuse of Architectural Data
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.1996.163
source	CAADRIA ‘96 [Proceedings of The First Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / ISBN 9627-75-703-9] Hong Kong (Hong Kong) 25-27 April 1996, pp. 163-172
summary	This paper describes a design system which supports the concurrent re-use of existing design information by means of an object-oriented database system. The system manages component versioning within a flexible design environment which is to be used by a design team working on an evolving, complex design. A database of prototype designs has been built with a database system that supports versioning. The basic database operations are then extended with the routines that support inter-designer communication. The database system with these extensions produces a design environment in which designers using partitioned design databases holding multiple design component versions, may concurrently develop new designs. In addition, an expert system shell has been incorporated to deal with design evaluation processes. In this paper, the authors investigate the mechanisms by which existing design versions may be represented, combined and edited to provide new designs.

summary	Well known metaphors play an explanatory role in human-computer interaction (HCI) and support users in understanding an unfamiliar object with references to a familiar object, for example the desktop metaphor. Metaphors can also support designers in forming and exploring new concepts during the process of designing. We present metaphors that establish user expectations and provide guidance for new design concepts while integrating interactive technology in buildings to enable human-building interaction (HBI). HBI is a research area that studies how HCI research and practice provides opportunities for interactive buildings. Interactive experiences in architecture can be characterized by three metaphorical concepts: HBI as Device (user-centered view), HBI as Robot (building-centered view), and HBI as Friend (activity centered-view). These metaphors provide a tool for architects and HBI designers to explore designs that engage occupants' existing mental models from previous HCI experiences. We expand on each metaphor using analogical reasoning to define exploratory design spaces for HBI.

summary	This paper explores automated recognition of elements in interior design pictures for an intelligent design reference management system. Precedent design references have a significant role to help architects, designer and even clients in general architecture design process. Pictures are one of the representation that could exactly show a kind of design idea and knowledge. Due to the velocity, variety and volume of reference pictures data with growth of references platform, it is hard and time-consuming to handle the data with current manual way. To solve this problem , this paper depicts a deep learning-based approach to figuring out design elements and recognizing the design feature of them on the interior pictures using faster-RCNN and CNN algorithms. The targets are the residential furniture such as a table and a seating. Through proposed application, input pictures can automatically have tagging data as follows; seating1(type: sofa, seating capacity: two-seaters, design style: classic)

title	Recognizing and Classifying Unknown Object in BIM using 2D CNN
source	Ji-Hyun Lee (Eds.) "Hello, Culture!" [18th International Conference, CAAD Futures 2019, Proceedings / ISBN 978-89-89453-05-5] Daejeon, Korea, p. 23
summary	This paper aims to propose an approach to automated classifying building element instance in BIM using deep learning-based 3D object classification algorithm. Recently, studies related to checking or validating engine of BIM object for ensuring data integrity of BIM instances are getting attention. As a part of this research, this paper train recognition models that are targeted at basic building element and interior element using 3D object recognition technique that uses images of objects as inputs. Object recognition is executed in two stages; 1) class of object (e.g. wall, window, seating furniture, toilet fixture and etc.), 2) sub-type of specific classes (e.g. Toilet or Urinal). Using the trained models, BIM plug-in prototype is developed and the performance of this AI-based approach with test BIM model is checked. We expect this recognition approach to help ensure the integrity of BIM data and contribute to the practical use of BIM.

summary	Smart Growth is a fast-growing urban design and planning movement developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These regulations control urban morphologies such as building form, position, faÃ§ade configurations, building materials, road configurations, which have an explicit association with the microclimate and outdoor comfort. This paper presents an urban modeling and simulation framework that can represent the urban morphology and its impact on microclimate shaped by Smart Growth. First, we created urban models using custom parametric objects and a building component library in BIM. Then we integrated parametric BIM and multiple performance simulations, including wind analysis, solar accessibility, and energy use. For implementation, a case study was carried out using two Smart Growth regulations in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The paper elaborates on the findings from simulation results, challenges in implementation, and limitations of the proposed framework to manage a large number of regulation variables in simulation.

The regulations of Smart Growth control urban morphologies such as building height, use, position, section configurations, faÃ§ade configurations, and materials, which have an explicit association with energy performances. This research aims to analyze and visualize the impact of Smart Growth developments on environmental performances. This paper presents a parametric modeling and simulation framework for Smart Growth developments that can model the potential community development scenarios, simulate the environmental footprints of each parcel, and visualize the results of modeling and simulation. We implemented and examined the proposed framework through a case study of two Smart Growth regulations: Columbia Unified Development Code (UDC) in Missouri (City of Columbia Missouri, 2017) and Overland Park Downtown Form-based Code (FBC) in Kansas City (City of Overland Park, 2017, 2019). Last, we discuss the implementation results, the limitations of the proposed framework, and the future work. We anticipate that the proposed method can improve stakeholders' understanding of how Smart Growth developments are associated with potential environmental footprints from an expeditious and thorough exploration of what-if scenarios of the multiple development schemes.
