summary	Developments in digital media have created a myriad of tools to help architects communicate ideas. Three dimensional graphics software has revolutionized our ability to visualize our ideas. With the advent of animation and advanced methods of real time video presentation seem to have substantially upgraded the architects' tool chest. Significant advances have been made recently in bringing animation capabilities to the architectural desktop. To discover the level of integration of animation and multimedia in architectural firms, a series of interviews were conducted at five large Los Angeles firms. The interviews were structured with open-ended questions to allow the firms to emphasize their interests and capabilities. This document depicts the status of the current thinking at Gensler, Jerde, NBBJ, RTKL, and DMJM.

summary	The evolution of the graphical representation of the architecture with the development of procedures for computer-aided designs is causing a shift in the way of thinking about architecture. Traditionally, the teaching of descriptive geometry that allows architects in training cognition full three-dimensional space. Changing this tradition, today we have the construction of the projective drawing by computer, CAD or BIM. We aim to question the way to teach courses in the projective geometry of architecture and urbanism in the face of profound changes in knowledge and representation of the form established by computer graphics technology with CAD and BIM.

title	Desarrollando destrezas proyectuales con la asistencia de la Teoría de la Sintaxis del Espacio durante el primer año de los estudios de arquitectura [Developing spatial configuration abilities coupled with the Space Syntax theory for first year architectural studies]
source	SIGraDi 2011 [Proceedings of the 15th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Argentina - Santa Fe 16-18 November 2011, pp. 476-479
summary	The Space Syntax Theory (SST) has been taught at the Bartlett School of Postgraduate Studies at UCL as a tool for architects to explore the relationship between spatial configuration and social form. It has also been used as a design tool to explore and understand, during the design process, possible effects of design ideas on people interaction with space. However the introduction of SST in the first stage of architectural training as a learning resource for developing spatial configuration abilities has not been explored in detail yet. This paper is going to discuss an experience of training architectural students using the SST.

summary	The intention of this paper is to discuss the effort to spread knowledge and technology to a group of people (teachers, students and professionals), who would probably take much longer to have the chance to use new technologies as a design tool. Connecting two events called Road Show and Workshop, the paper shows the methods, processes and solutions achieved throughout different activities and its effects on the use of Digital fabrication and rapid prototyping as a design and materialization tools. In such case, it is a good example on how to spread the news and provide a starting point to make people more aware and train them to become future users of these technologies. The materialization of the results are shown.

title	A Remote Sharing Method of 3D Physical Objects Using Instance-Segmented Real-Time 3D Point Cloud for Design Meeting
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2022.2.395
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. 395-404
summary	In the field of architecture and urban design, physical models are used in design meetings. Furthermore, teleconferencing via the internet has begun to be widely used in society due to COVID-19 and in preparation for disasters. Although conventional web conferencing can share only 2D information through screens, it is expected that interactive screen sharing of physical objects will enable smoother remote conferencing. A system that can manipulate point clouds in clusters by dividing real-time point clouds captured from 3D real objects by distance has been reported as a way to share physical objects. However, because the point clouds are divided by distance between the two clusters when the point clouds get closer than some threshold, they become treated as a single object. In this study, we aim to develop a system that uses instance segmentation to divide point clouds by region rather than by distance between objects. This system is expected to contribute to the realisation of better architectural and urban design processes without any misunderstandings among the parties involved and to the reduction of unnecessary energy consumption due to travel for face-to-face meetings.

title	VDS/DDS Practice Hinges on Interventions and Simplicity - A Case Study of Hard Realism vs. Distorted Idealism
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2001.249
source	Architectural Information Management [19th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9523687-8-1] Helsinki (Finland) 29-31 August 2001, pp. 249-255
summary	This paper reports on a contemporary and laborious ongoing experimental work initiated during the establishment of a new Virtual/Digital design studio “VDS” in Sept. 1999 by CAAD tutors at University of Petra “UOP”. The new VDS/DDS now works as an experimental laboratory to explore several solutions to problems of efficiency in design teaching as a new digital design studio paradigm, in tandem with CAD/Design staff, DS environment, materials and facilities. Two groups of graduating level students participated as volunteers in this experiment. The first group was comprised of three fifth-year architectural design students while the second group was comprised of two fourth-year interior design students. The media currently in use are ArchiCAD 6.5 as a design tool along with CorelDraw 9 as a presentational tool, running on Pentium III computers. The series of experiments evaluated the impression on architectural design studio tuition requirements arising from the changes brought about by the implementation of the new CAD pedagogical approach (VDS/DDS) at UOP. The findings echo several important key issues in tandem with CAAD, such as: the changes brought about by the new design strategies, adaptation in problem solving decision-making techniques, studio employment in terms of environment, means and methods. Other issues are VDS/DDS integration schemes carried out by both students and staff as one team in design studio practice on one hand and the curriculum on the other. Finally, the paper discusses the negative impact of conventional design studio hardliner teaching advocates and students alike whose outlook and impressions undermine and deplete effective CAAD integration and obstruct, in many instances, the improvement of such experiments in a VDS environment.

summary	In this paper we examine the strategies used in 3D modeling for their efficiency. Our study explores the underlying cognitive process that drives design thinking as well the choice of strategies for using specific features in a given CAD software. We take a cognitive task analysis approach to examine our question. Of a total sample of 19 participants, the strategies of the fastest and slowest users are compared to identify areas of improvement for software development as well as user training.

summary	Immersive technologies are now enabling better and more affordable immersive experiences, offering the opportunity to revisit their use in the architectural and landscape studio to gain site information. Considering when travel to a site is limited or not possible, immersive experiences can help with conveying site information by overcoming issues faced in earlier virtual studios. We focused on developing three applications to understand the workflow for incorporating site information to generate an immersive site experience. The applications were implemented in a semester-long joint architecture and landscape architecture studio focused on remotely designing for the Santa Marta informal settlement in Rio, Brazil. Preliminary results of implementing the applications indicate a positive outlook towards using immersive experiences for site information particularly when a site is remote.

summary	Patterns in nature, either the cells forming the skins of living organisms or the sand forming the dunes, are in a constant change. Given that, pattern cannot only be seen as an absolute image of a whole formed by units, but it can also be seen as a process, which is controlled by stimuli affecting the outcome both visually and functionally in the architectural context. In this paper, the changes on the bodies of color and form changing living organisms are implemented to the building envelope as a dynamic process of adapting to the environment in terms of interaction. The bio-system is implemented to the envelope in terms of morphological, functional, and behavioral properties of particular living organisms. The proposed model is discussed in terms of adapting its environment by sensing and responding.

summary	This study aims to understand whether time restriction along with a ‘situational influence on creativity’ can act as a catalyst to speed up unique design alternative genera- tion when digital media is being used compared to sketching. In order to achieve this, an experiment with undergraduate architectural design students is conducted. The results are measured with the flexibility and fluidity measures of creativity proposed by the Torrance Test.

title	Towards a non-standard architecture: design and manufacture as it relates to information systems
source	SIGraDi 2005 - [Proceedings of the 9th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Lima - Peru 21-24 november 2005, vol. 1, pp. 139-143
summary	The development of computer programs has brought about a new trend for architects and designers. Topology, splines, nurbs and the use of sophisticated computer programs, which were formerly possible only to be executed on powerful computers, have triggered an interest in architects. Ten years ago, computers started to replace traditional drawing tools. Nowadays it is possible to develop the whole architectural process in three dimensions (project and manufacturing), reaching certain proposals that otherwise would be impossible or very tedious and time-consuming to carry out. Information technology proposes a new architectonic language, already experimented in a virtual way, but one that can be made real by means of the computer numeric control. [Full paper in Spanish]

source	AVOCAAD Second International Conference [AVOCAAD Conference Proceedings / ISBN 90-76101-02-07] Brussels (Belgium) 8-10 April 1999, pp. 143-155
summary	Despite the complex forces that operate in urban development, a relatively small number of geometries and morphologies may be identified in urban maps. Do covert universal laws exist which are integral to the concept of the city and responsible for the geometry? May one formulate such laws and program a computer to produce maps on the basis thereof, thus exposing architectural reality to a scientific process of objective experimentation? In an effort to answer these questions, I wrote programs based on definitions, parameters and rules reflecting architectural phenomena. The creation process using the programs is based on a formalistic approach, drawing on a random mechanism, considerations of probability and numerous calculations. This "computerized planning" does not mimic or simulate human work processes. The programs enable a considerable measure of visual variety to be achieved, replicating familiar urban morphologies. One may isolate variables, starting conditions and growth processes, and examine the influence thereof on fabric, organization and order. The existence of a program such as this raises questions of principle concerning randommes and creation, the future role of architects, the creative capacities of computers, the connection between science and architecture, truth in virtual situations, etc.

title	Measuring user satisfaction for design variations through virtual reality
source	Timmermans, Harry (Ed.), Fifth Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning - Part one: Architecture Proceedings (Nijkerk, the Netherlands)
summary	This paper describes Virtual Reality as an environment to collect information about user satisfaction. Because Virtual Reality (VR) allows visualization with added interactivity, this form of representation has particular advantages when presenting new designs. The paper reports on the development of a VR system that supports architects to collect opinions about their design alternatives in terms of user preferences. An alternative to conjoint analysis, that uses statistical choice variations to estimate user preference functions, is developed. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent technology will be implemented to build a model for data collection, prediction, and learning processes.

title	Brand Value of Area-Images Extracted from SpatialDistribution of Building Names
source	H.J.P. Timmermans, B. de Vries (eds.) 2008, Design & Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning, ISBN 978-90-6814-173-3, University of Technology Eindhoven, published on CD
summary	Our area-images are composed of evaluations derived from the various kinds of elements or activities within different regions. In quantitative terms, the extraction of area-images is difficult. In this paper, we focus on a phenomenon in which a part of people’s area-image can be observed in the names of buildings. In the first instance, a model based on the random utility theory is constructed to describe the spatial distribution of building names. Secondly, the proposed model is calibrated using actual data from the city of Tokyo (Setagaya Ward), and effects of such area-elements or activities on area-images are then estimated. Finally, values for the area-images are quantitatively estimated and their spatial distribution is represented on a map.

title	A Model of Land use Conversion and Its Application
source	Timmermans, Harry (Ed.), Fourth Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning Maastricht, the Netherlands), ISBN 90-6814-081-7, July 26-29, 1998
summary	A quantitative model for analyzing the spatial distribution of land use utility is proposed. This model is based on the random bidding theory in which location behavior is decided according to the size of utility to be obtained. The utility function used here consists of the benefit and the cost in the process of land use transition. The benefit is described as the positive utility that can be obtained by doing the corresponding land use at the place. The cost is described as the negative utility that is necessary forchanging the land use from one state to the others. The most likelihood method is generally employed to estimate the parameters of this kind of models. However, we attempt to propose the other statistical method through the mathematical consideration. Using this model, it is possible to obtain the spatial distribution of land use utility that differs with the places and with the land use states. We can also evaluate the effects of a change of land-price or construction costs on our utility. Namely, our locationbehavior can be estimated numerically relating with the social or economic factors. As numerical examples, we apply the proposed model to the actual land use data and access the effectiveness of the model.

title	Re-Placing Embodied Interaction: Palestinian Architects Virtual Community
source	Em‘body’ing Virtual Architecture: The Third International Conference of the Arab Society for Computer Aided Architectural Design (ASCAAD 2007), 28-30 November 2007, Alexandria, Egypt, pp. 381-398
summary	Our ongoing project Palestine Architects Platform (PAP) –and PAP VE is a project intended to re-bond Palestinian architects and facilitate communication between them in Virtual Environments “virtual land” using virtual means. We used it as an example to argue that its inherently embedded spatial metaphor could compensate for the physical disconnectedness, and allow interaction on many different levels. Our paper proposes an interactive archiving and networking location where discourse is not only stored but categorised, analysed, retrieved and used to start new topics, or can be used to improve new debates. The focus is on the social values of PAP network and its empowering nature. The design and the structure is not simply a system for online socialisation rather it is a result of thoroughly studying available networks and their principles. It is a result of deep analysis of reality behind this community. We finally propose a set of principles that can secure a real innovative and creative knowledge exchange.

title	Exploring Low-Cost Sensors for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Monitoring: A Review of Stationary and Mobile Sensing Systems
source	C+++: Computation, Culture, and Context – Proceedings of the 11th International Conference of the Arab Society for Computation in Architecture, Art and Design (ASCAAD), University of Petra, Amman, Jordan [Hybrid Conference] 7-9 November 2023, pp. 224-241.
summary	Indoor air quality (IAQ) is considered a crucial aspect of building health and occupant well-being, especially as occupants spend 90 percent of their time indoors. Different factors impact the concentration of air pollutants and air quality in indoor spaces including inadequate ventilation, emissions from building materials and furnishings, and biological contaminants. Thus, indoor air quality (IAQ) needs to be carefully monitored and controlled as a building operation priority to maintain healthy indoor environments. The IAQ monitoring can be accomplished using stationary and mobile sensors, each of which option offers advantages and disadvantages. This project reviews recent studies employing stationary and mobile monitoring sensing systems to investigate and compare the characteristics of these monitoring sensing systems targeting air quality in interior architectural spaces. A thorough assessment of the characteristics of IAQ sensing systems was conducted, encompassing factors such types, availability, spatial and temporal monitoring coverage, accuracy, and precision in IAQ measuring, and detection potential for various pollutants. The results will provide building professionals with the needed insight to make informed decisions when planning for IAQ monitoring.

summary	Aperiodic tiling patterns result in endlessly varied local configurations of a limited set of basic polygons, and as such may be used to economically produce non-repeating, complex forms from a minimal set of modular elements. Several well-known tilings, such as by Penrose (2D) and Danzer (3D), have been used in architecture, but these are only two examples of an infinite set of possible tilings that can be generated by the projection in two or three dimensions of high-dimensional grids subject to rotations. This paper proposes an interface that enables the user to parametrically search for such tilings. Assembly rules are explained by which arbitrary geometry as specified by NURBS surfaces may be based on the pattern to form a non-repeating complex surface. As an example, the fabrication in concrete of a cylindrical tiling is used to demonstrate the mass production of a continuous, free-flowing structure with the aid of a minimum amount of formwork.
