title	Challenges and Potentialities of Using Collaborative Mapping in Urban Mobility Policies
source	García Amen, F, Goni Fitipaldo, A L and Armagno Gentile, Á (eds.), Accelerated Landscapes - Proceedings of the XXVII International Conference of the Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics (SIGraDi 2023), Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay, 29 November - 1 December 2023, pp. 1373–1384
summary	The emergence of collaborative mapping tools has transformed the representation of the territory today. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the challenges and potentialities in applying these tools, in particular, the ability to understand and plan the territory associated with official data. This article proposes a review of the use of collaborative mapping applied to public policies for urban mobility. Methodologically, a qualitative-descriptive exploratory approach is adopted, containing the following steps: i) conceptual review and characterization of collaborative mapping tools and their application to the planning of urban mobility policies; ii) case study presentation of the ÔnibusGV application, used in Espírito Santo, Brazil. A result of this work is the discussion around the use of collaborative mapping today, its gaps, and its potential in application to the planning of public policies. The importance of this type of technology and the efforts that have been gradually expanding its scope at the local and international levels is understood.

title	Materializing Design: contemporary issues in the use of cad/cam technology in the architectural design and fabrication process
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. 317-326
summary	While the ability to produce and quantify design and fabrication information has been greatly enhanced by advances in CAD/CAM technology over the last several decades, a practical link between what can be modelled virtually and what can be built physically has yet to be realized. The process of parsing complex design information and translating it into a format that can be utilized by those responsible for its fabrication is a many-stepped process, in some cases made increasingly difficult by the same technology intended to simplify the process. The use of CAD/CAM technology in the architectural design process requires ongoing consideration as its use becomes increasingly pervasive in the design process. Within the context of contemporary architectural practice and discourse, what is the degree of fidelity between design information and fabrication information? How are advances in accessibility to, and the capability of CAD/CAM technologies affecting the role of the architect in the overall building process? Does CAD/CAM offer unique and undiscovered possibilities to re-associate the designer with the builder, or simply a process of more efficiently automating the design and construction process? Our work builds upon issues of the fundamental differences that CAD/CAM technologies introduce to design practices; issues that were raised at the very outset of CAD/CAM’s introduction to architectural design. Employing parametric design software, we design and construct a speculative façade system for a high-rise tower which is then fabricated at a reduced-scale with various two-axis CAM technology. We use relational and constraint-based logics in order to create models of parametric assemblies of discrete components which are translated into machine-ready formats, fabricated and re-assembled, in a process modelled on that typically followed in the construction of a real building project.

summary	This is an exploratory study that had the purpose of understanding how Building Information Modeling (BIM), parametric design and digital fabrication are adopted in Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) design processes and how they unfold through and influence its stages and activities. Questionnaires and interviews were performed with professionals from or with previous experiences in firms considered to be early adopters of digital technologies in practice. Results suggest that the addressed digital technologies have complementary functions and can improve each other's potentialities when integrated in design process' stages. Their performance can also be improved when achieving a more holistic process, embracing constant feedback loops through parties involved and design solutions throughout its stages. In order to have this approach in overall AEC industry, many transformations are needed and some of them were also pointed out in this study.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2021.1.251
summary	The use of StyleGAN algorithms proposes a novel approach in the investigation of architectural images. Even though graphical outcomes produced by StyleGAN algorithms are far from being architectural spaces, they might become a starting point in the creative process of architectural projects. By creating a database of specific categories of architectural images located in certain contexts, significant findings might emerge regarding their categorization in accordance to the style of a culture. This research analyzes the architectural images that result from implementing StyleGAN algorithms in a database of images of Chilean houses built between the years 2010 and 2020 and selected as finalist of the Â´Project of the YearÂ´ from international viewers and curators of the most viewed architectural website of the world. Our findings suggest that Chilean houses have two distinctive elements strongly influenced by human bias: the proportion of voids in the architectural-like generative volume and the integration of vegetation or landscape.

title	Enriching Creativity in Digital Architectural Design

summary	Although conceptual design is one of the most important stages of creation, impacting the quality and cost of the final product, current research indicates that designers still lack adequate tools supporting early-stage design. This research challenges that notion, by proposing a hybrid digital design platform for conceptual architectural design. The platform contains four miscellaneous techniques: animation, free-form modelling, associative parametric modelling and per-formance-driven modelling. In a digital design experiment we demon-strate that the collective application of these techniques to early-stage design explorations intensifies the architect’s visual and cognitive rea-soning processes, and hence supports the emergence of promising de-sign artefacts which bear the traces of all the techniques applied in the course of their conception. Additionally, the study also points at some other promising virtues of the hybrid toolset, including: provision of diversified form-finding opportunities on various levels of design ab-straction; the potential to direct designers onto unplanned creation paths; the ability to increase the versatility and functionality of the solutions; and the capacity to sustain design activities of various character, ranging from highly intuitive ones to very rational ones.

title	Artistic computational design featuring imprecision - A method supporting digital and physical explorations of esthetic features in robotic single-point incremental forming of polymer sheets
source	Sousa, JP, Xavier, JP and Castro Henriques, G (eds.), Architecture in the Age of the 4th Industrial Revolution - Proceedings of the 37th eCAADe and 23rd SIGraDi Conference - Volume 1, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 11-13 September 2019, pp. 719-728
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2019.1.719
summary	Design strategies that employ digital and material imprecision to achieve esthetic innovation exhibit high potential to transform the current precision-oriented practices of computation and digital fabrication in architecture. However, such strategies are still in their infancy. We present a design method facilitating intentionally-imprecise esthetic explorations within the framework of digital design and robotic single-point incremental forming. Our method gives access to the esthetic fine-tuning of molds from which architectural objects are cast. Semi-precise computational operations of extending, limiting, deepening and shallowing the geometrical deformations of the mold through robot toolpath fine-tuning are enabled by a digital toolkit featuring parametric modeling, surface curvature analyses, photogrammetry, digital photography and bitmap image retouching and painting. Our method demonstrates the shift of focus from geometric accuracy and control of material behaviors towards intentionally-imprecise digital explorations that yield novel esthetic features of architectural designs. By demonstrating the results of applying our method in the context of an exploration-driven design process, we argue that imprecision can be equally valid to accuracy, opening a vast, excitingly unknown territory for material-mediated esthetic explorations within digital fabrication. Such explorations can interestingly alter the esthetic canons and computational design methods of digital architecture in the nearest future.

title	A Design Framework and a Digital Toolset Supporting the Early-Stage Explorations of Responsive Kinetic Building Skin Concepts

wos	WOS:000372316000079
summary	In this paper we present the first phase of our research on the development of a framework for early-stage responsive kinetic building skin design. The aims of this study were: to formulate a methodological and instrumental basis for the construction of the framework, to conduct an initial pre-assessment of its features, and finally to provide the first example of how the framework could be applied in practice. Importantly, at this point our goal was not yet to indicate the framework's effectiveness, but rather focus on formulating its foundations. A pilot design experiment, aimed at the probing of the framework's characteristics, suggests the emergence of its two noteworthy features. Firstly, it allows to freely but at the same time also systematically explore six design aspects of responsive architecture: form, functionality, performance, kinetic behaviors, system mechanics and responsiveness. Secondly, it helps to explore these six aspects using diverse means: parametric models, digital simulations, computational analyses, physical models and interactive prototypes. These features suggest that the framework could be a valid and useful means of supporting designers in the complex task of creating architectural concepts of responsive kinetic structures.

title	Case-based Reasoning in Building Design: Problems of Case Elicitation and Retrieval
source	The Int. Journal of Construction IT 2(4), pp. 49-62
summary	This article deals with a set of problems that arose in the course of the FABEL project in order to build a system assisting in the design of complex buildings: Task analysis indicated a case-based approach with the subtasks of retrieval, assessment and adaptation of layouts. The idea of first choosing a retrieval method which would then guide the further knowledge elicitation process did not work, because there was no single suitable method. We investigated retrieval methods based on keywords, on vectors, bitmaps, gestalten and on topological structures. As it turned out, each method imposes a particular interpretation on a layout and serves different retrieval purposes. Using multiple methods required an open software architecture providing case management facilities for the various methods. Last not least, the extraction of relevant cases from integrated building models is not trivial at all. Both automatic routines of standard cases and manual extraction of special cases should be available.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.379
summary	The integration of environmental context and morphological design reflects the complexity and synthesis in the urban and architectural design process. Especially considering sustainability, synthesizing climate impact at the early design stage is a more effective way to achieve improved environmental performance. This paper presents an extendable urban generation framework that can integrate multiple environmental information through the field model and interactively generate urban massing with optimized outdoor natural ventilation. The application and implementation of the framework are shown with a case study of a multi-objective optimization model that integrates wind field and frontal area index (FAI). The proposed system supports expansion to the different urban scales and other design applications, inspiring the promising paths of the more hybrid, integrated, and extendable digital framework and the potential of performance-based design optimization toward a sustainable urban future.

summary	Graphic statics vividly shows the topological relationship between the "form" represented by the structure itself and the "force" generated by its action through graphic method, which has become an important tool for architects to carry out structural innovative design in the past century. In the 21st century, with the development of computer technology, graphic statics has developed from the dual relationship between 2D thrust network and closed force polygon to the dual relationship between 3D thrust network and space closed force polyhedron. In this paper, the design method of graphic statics based on 3D graphic statics is applied to a stainless chair and an ice pavilion design. Researchers used different digital fabrication methods to manufacture the chair and the pavilion according to its material attribute.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2023.2.491
summary	Generative design, increasingly prevalent in architecture, enables design exploration and enhanced productivity compared to traditional methods. Researchers have investigated combinatorial design using tilesets, which encode architectural meaning and promote user-friendly interactions. However, most research focuses on discovering designs rather than fine-tuning tilesets. We propose a tile-based method that introduces metrics for evaluating generated layouts and tileset design space, addressing the research gap and facilitating practical applications. The design space evaluation feedback aids architects in customizing tilesets according to their objectives by exploring the impact of tile topology and rule changes. Our framework, illustrated through double-floor single-family house tilesets using the Wave Function Collapse algorithm, generates 3D designs and 2D layouts, enables minimal-specification diverse tilesets, and demonstrates fine-tuning to avoid grid-like monotonicity, a common limitation of tile-based generative design methods.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2020.2.351
summary	The traditional Chinese building design was influenced by the climate and the sociogeographical conditions of the different regions in China. They were usually constructed out of wood relying on timber-joint based construction systems. Amongst the wide variety of the structural elements, the Dougong (bucket arch) is one of the most common components of traditional wooden framework buildings, presenting a high level of complexity. Parametric design and robotic technology enable new possibilities regarding its fabrication and application in contemporary architecture. Our paper will explore how the Dougong components could be reinvented through the use of parametric tools and robotic fabrication methods and thus applied to contemporary architectural structures. We will analyse and compare the properties of the original Dougong with the reinvented unit by using finite element analysis and digital optimization tools. Our findings will provide an insight into the traditional construction principles of the joint and how these can inform a design and fabrication framework for its application in contemporary buildings.

doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.2024.3.381
summary	This paper presents a novel Digital Twin scenario for enhancing Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) in the context of Industry 4.0. Traditional HRC environments, characterised by their repetitive and standardised tasks, are limited in adapting to dynamic and custom requirements. We propose a dynamically configurable Digital Twin (DCDT) system, enabling dynamic configuration of virtual HRC workspaces for creative design and prototyping, addressing the limitations of conventional HRC environments confined to repetitive tasks. By integrating AR, the system allows human operators to intuitively interact with robots, planning and simulating robotic trajectories with interactive holographic visualisations. We cooperate with The Design Modelling and Fabrication (DMaF) Lab at The University of Sydney and propose a workflow based on the DCDT system to assist students complete basic robot co-creative drawing programming under routine teaching scenarios. This research underscores the importance of AR in bridging the gap between physical and virtual workspaces, facilitating a flexible and efficient HRC setup. Future work will focus on refining the technology, addressing scalability, and exploring its adaptability to various creative and prototyping domains.

summary	The current pandemic and the climate crisis urge people to rethink their relationships to the natural and urban environments. In this research we turned to nature for inspiration to find new ways to keep human environments clean and healthy. This paper presents a computational and experimental methodology to design self-cleaning architectural surfaces from chitin biomaterial modeled after butterfly wings. We fabricate surface architectures using parametric modeling, 3d printing, and molding of chitin biomaterial, and assess their performance using mechanical testing, experimental and computational simulations. The goal is to provide an alternative to hydrophobic fossil fuel-based plastics using surface morphologies of biomaterials to achieve structural rigidity and self- cleaning properties in architectural surfaces.

summary	The internet is becoming increasingly more valuable in the field of architectural design that what we conventionally called CAD might soon be changed to iAD (internet Aided Design) (Zhou and Krawczyk 2000). In order to have a clear vision of what iAD will be or could be, we should first examine what is currently available. This research focuses on an investigation of selected web vendors, which are typical and most influential in providing internet related services for the AEC industry. Our purpose for doing this survey is: to understand the progress and development of internet application in the AEC industry, identify the technology used in this area, determine the advantages and deficiencies of current practice and develop a base for future research in proposing a evolutionary model of internet Aided Design for architecture.

summary	This paper continues the discourse of the round table session of eCAADe 2002 on the problems of existing digital city models. It reviews recent papers on the subject, suggests criteria for the improvement of digital city models, and points out some applications for a broader base of users, and particularly in the field of architectural education. it is suggested here that the design professions of architecture and urban design should be more comprehensively included by broadening the approach to 3dcms. Changes in contemporary architectural, urban planning and design theory, collaborative design practice and constructivist education, lead us to suggest a change of emphasis from 2D urban planning principles to those of 3D urban design and morphology.

summary	Discussions that cope with the relation between computers and creativity often turn out to be very sensitive. It seems that this aspect of computer technology makes people feel uneasy. This can easily be understood. Many examples can be found were interesting jobs with social contacts for workers changed into dull and monotone ones. This counts specially for administrative oriented organisations, but also in more technical based organisations we can see variations to this theme. Nevertheless many advantages can be mentioned for the organisation itself, and of course for the customer himself, who is being served more accurate, faster and with a higher degree of service. The discussion on creative aspects mainly takes place in the technical oriented professions. Architects among them seem to be strongly represented. Specially in relation to CAD-techniques being obstructed in one's creative possibilities is very often mentioned as an argument for not adopting the new techniques.
