title	POP-OP: A Shape Memory-Based Morphing Wall
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 11 - no. 3, 347-362
summary	Recent tendencies in architecture take a unique point of view, with aesthetically novel and unnatural sensibilities emerging from a close scrutiny and study of apparently natural systems. These tendencies are being driven by mathematical and computational abstractions that transform the way we understand the matterinformation relationship. This project was inspired by Op Art, a twentieth century art movement and style in which artists sought to create an impression of movement on an image surface by means of an optical illusion. Passive elements consisting of composite laminates were produced with the goal of creating lightweight, semi-rigid, and nearly transparent pieces. The incorporation of active materials comprised a unique aspect of this project: the investigation of surface movement through controlled and repeatable deformation of the composite structure using shape memory alloy (SMA) wiring technology. The integration of composite materials with SMA wiring and Arduino automation control resulted in an architectural wall that incorporated perceptual and actual motion.

title	The Serlio Code - Beyond Classic Language
source	ACADIA 2022: Hybrids and Haecceities [Projects Catalog of the 42nd Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) ISBN 979-8-9860805-7-4]. University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design. 27-29 October 2022. edited by M. Akbarzadeh, D. Aviv, H. Jamelle, and R. Stuart-Smith. 82-87.
summary	This research project examined the illustrated expositions of Sebastiano Serlio through the lens of artificial intelligence. The intention of this project was to use Serlio’s illustrations to modulate their qualities and problematize their 2D to 3D translation beyond the rules of representation and orthographic projection. Three operative models were presented: columns, plans and facades, and porticoes—developed by augmenting and interpreting layered generative adversarial networks that drive an integrated parametric 3D process. These insights and investigations disclosed alternative theoretical connections between information processing and aesthetic communication as well as emerging modes of creative digital production.

title	A Swell Project: Between Parametrics and Fabrication
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2011.x.r0r
source	Parametricism (SPC) ACADIA Regional 2011 Conference Proceedings
summary	As a case study, Swell serves as: 1) an investigation into architectural ornamentation using a contemporary framework, as directed through specific modes of research, 2) a study in fabrication materials and methods, especially through the realization of form, and 3) as a pedagogical tool, loosely assembled through real and virtual space. This essay will focus mainly on the fabrication methods in terms of why and the pedagogical research initiatives and reactions that went into the design of Swell. The project was conceived through a summer studio which was formed to investigate tools and methods available at the Texas A&M Architecture Ranch and to further the local pedagogical direction toward fabrication in architectural design at Texas A&M University as a whole. That is to say, there was no specific agenda toward parametrics, form, research, technology, or the like. At the same time, as the research continued, certain decisions were cast in terms of technology, sensibility, site, etc. informed by research, iterative processes, or parametric evaluation that ultimately formed the project as it exists today.

title	Serlio and Artificial Intelligence: Problematizing the Image-to-Object Workflow
doi	https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5983-6_1
source	Proceedings of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES The 3rd International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2021)
summary	Virtual design production demands that information be increasingly encoded and decoded with image compression technologies. Since the Renaissance, the discourses of language and drawing and their actuation by the classical disciplinary treatise have been fundamental to the production of knowledge within the building arts. These early forms of data compression provoke reflection on theory and technology as critical counterparts to perception and imagination unique to the discipline of architecture. This research examines the illustrated expositions of Sebastiano Serlio through the lens of artificial intelligence (AI). The mimetic powers of technological data storage and retrieval and Serlio’s coded operations of orthographic projection drawing disclose other aesthetic and formal logics for architecture and its image that exist outside human perception. Examination of aesthetic communication theory provides a conceptual dimension of how architecture and artificial intelligent systems integrate both analog and digital modes of information processing. Tools and methods are reconsidered to propose alternative AI workflows that complicate normative and predictable linear design processes. The operative model presented demonstrates how augmenting and interpreting layered generative adversarial networks drive an integrated parametric process of three-dimensionalization. Concluding remarks contemplate the role of human design agency within these emerging modes of creative digital production.

title	Transmedia Bestiary. Dialogic design between universities in the Litoral region.
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. 1337–1348
summary	This work was conceived from the common interests and objectives of two universities in the Argentine Littoral region, who have been addressing problems of the communities of the insular micro-region for several years. The methodology included physical and virtual meetings in the activities of both chairs to create a Transmedia Bestiary of imaginary animals of the Litoral, defining the guidelines to work on the technical characteristics, both physical and digital, that would be applied to the final production. The results were diverse. Each group of students generated its own Transmedia Narrative including proposals with Artificial Intelligence, illustrations, websites, video games, augmented reality, etc. In the analog medium, they generated 2D and 3D prints and built prototypes with different techniques, which made it possible to apply autonomous movement to the designed animals. Different evaluation methods focused on learning were used and reflections on the value of inter and transdisciplinary experiences were elaborated.

title	Weaving Methods in Architectural Design
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2011.x.k8b
source	Parametricism (SPC) ACADIA Regional 2011 Conference Proceedings
summary	In an effort to investigate surface logics consisting of highly porous, irregularly defined weaving systems a series of investigative strategies were employed. This paper discusses certain modes of research and their derivatives through a case study, Spu_lenkorb, as an entry into a digital fabrication competition by Texfab, in which the project received honorable mention. The initial form is conceived as a Möbius band, a geometrical variant of the pure mathematical “strip”. The base mesh of the initial form is developed using the software TopMod3D and Maya. This base mesh is then processed into a woven object using internally developed weaving software.
