title	Visual Character Analysis within Algorithmic Design: Quantifying Aesthetics Relative to Structural and Geometric Design Criteria
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. 131-140

summary	Buildings are responsible for 40% of world C02 emissions and 40% of the world's raw material consumption. Designing buildings with a reduced material volume is essential to securing a post-carbon built environment and supports a more affordable, accessible architecture. Architecture‚s material efficiency is correlated to structural efficiency however, buildings are seldom optimal structures. Architects must resolve several conflicting design criteria that can take precedence over structural concerns, while material-optimization is also impacted from limited means to quantitatively assess aesthetic decisions. Flexible design methods are required that can adapt to diverse constraints and generate filagree material arrangements, currently infeasible to explicitly model. A novel approach to generative topological design is proposed employing a custom multi-agent method that is adaptive to diverse structural conditions and incorporates quantitative analysis of visual formal character. Computer vision methods Gabor filtering, Canny Contouring and others are utilized to evaluate the visual appearance of designs and encode these within quantitative metrics. A matrix of design outcomes for a pavilion are developed to test adaptation to different spatial arrangements. Results are evaluated against visual character, structural, and geometric methods of analysis and demonstrate a limited set of aesthetic design criteria can be correlated with structural and geometric data in a quantitative metric.

title	THE MEASURABLE AND THE UNMEASURABLE OR - FROM FORM TO DESIGN TO EXISTANCE
source	Proceedings of the 4rd European Full-Scale Modelling Conference / Lausanne (Switzerland) 9-12 September 1992, Part B, pp. 55-62
summary	This article discusses the architectural design process from two sides of the spectrum: the formal exercises of experts and the participatory process involving users. The "place" of the full-scale-modelling laboratory at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne is then assessed with respect to this spectrum. It may seem that activities in a full-scale laboratory are closer to the participation process than to formal exercises. However, activities of the full-scale laboratory in Lausanne may best be situated around the middle of the design process. It is clearly within the realm of the measurable (since each construction can easily be measured.) Yet, it does not quite correspond to the real building; it remains an abstraction, a model. And in this quality of abstraction lies the potential to give form to the unmeasurable. It is a tool which allows a transformation of the unmeasurable aspects of an idea into the unmeasurable of existence.

summary	Applying Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) to interior design makes it possible for anyone to take on the role of a designer. Size is crucial to interior design, and distance measurement has become an essential component allowing to integration of image generation in industrial supply chain processes. This paper explores a new framework for indoor measurement based on a single interior image. Without any reference and camera calibration, our method ZoeLength can estimate the target size by taking a photo with the simplest mobile device. We achieved this by constructing a simplified camera model, incorporating cutting-edge depth estimation technology, ZoeDepth and Depth Anything, and object detection technology, Grounding DINO. To increase the accuracy of measurement, we trained a depth estimation model specifically for indoor scenes using our own collected dataset. Experimental results from multiple aspects demonstrate the reliability and validity of the proposed method and its application value to real-world scenarios.

title	Creating and Improving a Closed Loop: Design Optimization and Knowledge Discovery in Architecture
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 13 - no. 2, 123-142
summary	This paper presents computational methods for creating and improving a closed loop of design optimization and knowledge discovery in architecture. It first introduces a design knowledge-assisted optimization improvement method with the technique - offline simulation - to reduce the computing time and improve the efficiency of the design optimization process utilizing architectural domain knowledge. It then describes a new design knowledge discovery system where design knowledge can be discovered from optimization through an automatic data mining approach. The discovered knowledge has the potential to further help improve the efficiency of the optimization method, thus forming a closed loop of improving optimization and knowledge discovery. The demonstration and validation of both methods are presented in the context of a case study with parametric form-finding for a nursing unit design with two design objectives: minimizing the nurses’ travel distance and maximizing daylighting performance in patient rooms.

title	A STEP Towards a Computer based Integrated Building Design System
source	Timmermans, Harry (Ed.), Third Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning - Part one: Architecture Proceedings (Spa, Belgium), August 18-21, 1996
summary	Building design is a multi-actor and multi-task process. In a design project architects, engineers and other specialists need to exchange information in order to produce a coherent design. These design participants often have different views of the design from their own perspectives. The aim of an integrated building design system is to develop a building data model that integrates all views so that building information can be exchanged in electronic form between the designers and also throughout various design stages. This paper introduces an integrated building design system developed as part of the European project, Computer Models for the Building Industry in Europe. It concentrates on the development of the Data Exchange System which is a central data repository implemented using an object oriented database and ISO STEP technology and it is able to support concurrent engineering, versioning, history tracing and other data transaction management

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2020.2.649
summary	How to rapidly obtain building density information in a large range is a key problem for architecture and planning. This is because architectural design or urban planning is not isolated, and the environment of the building is influenced by the distribution of other buildings in a larger area. For areas where building density data are not readily available, the current methods to estimate building density are more or less inadequate. For example, the manual survey method is relatively slow and expensive, the traditional satellite image processing method is not very accurate or needs to purchase high-precision multispectral remote sensing image from satellite companies. Based on the deep neural network, this paper proposes a method to quickly extract large-scale building density information by using open satellite images platforms such as Baidu map, Google Earth, etc., and optimizes the application in the field of building and planning. Compared with the traditional method, it has the advantages of less time and money, higher precision, and can provide data support for architectural design and regional planning rapidly and conveniently.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.291
summary	As Chinese cities entering a so-called organic renewal era, building projects runs with much more constraints from high-density and high-rise surroundings. Such a situation makes the technical review in any urban planning bureau time-consuming and error-prone, which conflicts with the developers profits and citizens rights. This study introduces a preliminary system being developed for the planning bureau of Huangpu District, Shanghai. It has covered 21 code items among 44 computational ones of the local planning codes last year, which automatically generates technical reviews upon developers submissions. Due to the feasible level of BIM application in domestic projects, a set of strategic approaches, such as the standardization of CAD drawings and the reconstruction of an internal building information model, are adopted rather than developing the system on any BIM platform directly. Two examples of technical reviews about distance-checking between buildings and length-checking of facades are demonstrated, in which officers reached confidential judgments in seconds rather than several days conventionally.

summary	The signage design of any large-scale transportation building is vital to its passengers wayfinding experiences. Firstly, a set of passengers paths should be re-designed by signage designers according to the latest requirements, which always deviates from the initial ones in large-scale projects or inevitably updates during a long-term running. Afterwards, the path design has to be transformed into the layout and content of signboards manually. It is a time-consuming and error-prone process. This study introduces a human-computer hybrid workflow keeping the flexible path design in the hands of designers and leaving the following procedures to an algorithm, which automatically generates signboard contents ready for construction. It is proved efficient with more than 3000 signboards in the project of PVG Airport, Shanghai. Furthermore, the designer got an opportunity to optimize his path design through various alternatives, which impossible traditionally.

summary	An evacuees’ preference prediction function on architectural cues are described here as a crucial part of the evacuation model to simulate how the evacuees search the route to exit according to the architectural information in the public underground space. The model is developed to evaluate the egress design in the initial space design stage and to provide the existing compositive evacuation models a support on the usage of architectural information. First the over simplification on the architectural information in the existing evacuation models is discussed. Then a list of so-called architectural cues and the related evacuation model are introduced, in which the evacuees always egress to the seen or remembered architectural cue with the highest preference in every step. The emphasis of the paper is put on the analysis of the preference function including the CAVE-based conjoint analysis research method, the experiment design and implementation of the virtual drill, and the estimation of the parameters from the collected choices. The preference function for five architectural cue pairs, Doorway-Doorway, Stair-Stair, Exit- Exit, Doorway-Stair, Exit-Stair is built from the choice data of nearly one hundred Chinese subjects.

summary	In this research funded by NSFC (50408038), an agent-based simulation model is developed for the human evacuation behaviour determined by a list of so-called architectural clues in the environment. A research method is introduced with an application for one of these clue types called Doorway. A six-variable model and a related set of virtual scenes were constructed and implemented in a Head-CAVE system, in which 102 subjects were tested as in an evacuation game. With the binary logit regression analysis a utility function is estimated indicating how these variables affect human choice on any pair of doorways in a scene. Evidence was found that the distance from the decision point to the doorway is not always the most important factor as it is assumed in the other evacuation models.

title	Hybrid Fabrication. A free-form building process with high on-site flexibility and acceptable accumulative error
source	ACADIA // 2018: Recalibration. On imprecisionand infidelity. [Proceedings of the 38th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 978-0-692-17729-7] Mexico City, Mexico 18-20 October, 2018, pp. 82-87
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2018.082
summary	Although digital fabrication has a booming development in the building industry, especially in freeform building, its further application in onsite operations is still limited because of the huge flexibility required in programming. On the contrary, traditional manual fabrication onsite deals perfectly with problems that always accompany fatal accumulative errors in freeform building. This study explores a hybrid fabrication paradigm to take advantage of both in an onsite freeform building project, in which there is a cycling human–computer interactive process consisting of manual operation and computer guidance in real time. A Hololens-Kinect system in a framework of typical project camera systems is used in the demonstration. When human builders perceive, decide, and operate the irregular foam bricks in a complex onsite environment, the computer keeps updating the current form through 3D scanning and prompting the position and orientation of the next brick through augmented display. From a starting vault, the computer always fine tunes its control surface according to the gradually installed bricks and keeps following a catenary formula. Thus, the hybrid fabrication actually benefits from the flexibility based on human judgment and operation, and an acceptable level of accumulative error can be handled through computer guidance concerning the structural performance and formal accuracy.

summary	Limited by the non-standard nature of bamboo, bamboo has always been regarded as a traditional, restrictive, and time-consuming building material. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an enhanced parametric design system and digital construction workflow to upgrade the traditional bamboo construction process. In this paper, through the analysis of the bamboo pavilion "Diecui†Gallery" under the traditional construction method, five main factors restricting the development of bamboo architecture are obtained: difficult positioning of supporting structure, low efficiency of material selection and matching, the manual processing of materials, non-standard node and low utilization rate of non-standard waste materials. Then, through literature review, we proposed the technical means to improve these factors and put forward a multi-technology collaborative digital construction workflow. The workflow will comprise augmented reality, 3D scanning, robot-aided construction, 3D printing, and design rules. Moreover, by building parametric benches, we used augmented reality technology and new design rules to verify multi-technology collaborative fabrication workflow possibilities and effectiveness. This paper wants to explore a parametric design method based on bamboo material characteristics and multi-technology collaborative workflow, to improve the utilization rate of non-standard bamboo components in parametric design.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.2.649
summary	Urban design, especially in its early stages, focuses mainly on massing studies rather than architectural detail or engineering. Traditional urban design workflows involve a mix of sketching and modeling. However, the back and forth between the sketching-modeling loop is typically fairly time-consuming, resulting in a reduced capacity to iterate efficiently over design concepts, even in their digital form. In this paper, we present a workflow for producing digital massing tests from hand-drawn sketches. The goal of Mass Production is to help quick iteration on volumetric design enhanced by real-time feedback on quantitative and qualitative parameters of the model, thus helping designers make better informed decisions on early stages of urban design processes. The architecture of the proposed workflow consists of three main elements: a tangible user interface (UI) for designer input, a real-time dashboard of diagrams and models for massing analysis, and an augmented reality (AR) environment for enhanced feedback on design form and shaping. In this research, Mass Production is tested in different design scenarios, a discussion about the future and its impact is presented, including emerging technology while keeping traditional workflows.

title	Construction Based on Man-Machine Collaboration: A Case Study of a Bamboo Pavilion
source	Hybrid Spaces of the Metaverse - Architecture in the Age of the Metaverse: Opportunities and Potentials [10th ASCAAD Conference Proceedings] Debbieh (Lebanon) [Virtual Conference] 12-13 October 2022, pp. 503-514
summary	With the development of advanced digital design approaches and mechanical facilities, architectural intelligence liberates conventional construction from conventional paradigms. Computational design and digital fabrication have achieved progress in space innovation, construction efficiency, and material effectiveness. However, those high-tech manufacturing techniques are not widely available in developing countries, where the locals used to carry construction experience from age to age in a nonacademic way. This study explored a collaborative workflow of complex structural design and machine-aided construction in Chinese rural areas. First, we designed a bamboo pavilion parametrically in an irregular site on a hill. Second, its primary structure was optimized based on determining critical load and earthquake resistance to meet local building codes. Then, before material processing, every bamboo component was numbered by algorithm, with its location and morphological data of length and radian calculated accurately on the construction drawings. In the transitional process from the conventional paradigm by experience towards man-machine collaboration, local workers' manual techniques helped minimize construction errors and improve details, which were not adequately predicted and considered beforehand. This study case suggested that respective advantages of both traditional and digital modes should be integrated and balanced based on collaboration between local construction workers and professional researchers, especially as a social role for future vernacular architecture practice.
