title	Spatial Graded Patterns - A case study for large-scale differentiated space frame structures utilising high-speed 3D-printed joints

summary	Geometric differentiation is no longer a production setback for industrial grade architectural components. This paper introduces a design and fabrication workflow for non-repetitive large-scale space frame structures composed of custom-manufactured nodes, which exploits the advantages of latest advancements in 3D-printing technology. By integrating design, fabrication and material constraints into a computational methodology, the presented approach addresses additive manufacturing of functional industry-grade parts in short time, high speed and low cost. The resulting case study of a 4.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 m lightweight kite structure comprises 1380 versatile fully-customised connectors and outlines the manifold potential of additive manufacturing for architecture much bigger than the machine built space. First, after briefly introducing space frames in architecture, this paper discusses the computational framework of generating irregular space frames and parametric joint design. Second, it examines the advantages of MJF printing in conjunction with integrating smart sequencing details for the following assembly process. Finally, a conclusive outlook is given on improvements and further developments for bespoke 3D-printed space frame structures.

title	Bursting the Bubble
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2019.310

summary	The “bubble" is an oft-used keyword in discussions about Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Environments (VE). Apart from pointing to the growing, yet precarious, rise of these domains in technology markets, the “bubble" is also a prolific metaphor for spatial, experiential, and technical aspects of virtual worlds. Combining material from architectural history and history of computing, this paper situates and critically activates two threads of the “bubble" metaphor: the bubble as a closed, autonomous system severed from its surroundings, and the bubble as an ubiquitous, limitless environment. Through historical episodes from the development of Head Mounted Displays (HMDs), the paper positions current VR HDMs into a genealogy of miniaturization of actual architectural “bubbles”— from military simulation domes to wearable “micro environments”—and examines the techniques that support the illusion of these closed, autonomous worlds as limitless and ubiquitous. The paper concludes with the description of a critical design project that exposes the limits of VR's limitless worlds and the role of context (physical, architectural) in both making and breaking the VR bubble.

summary	The paper begins with a brief overview of the HIDECS 2 system and its significance. Then, it discusses the development of the Design Methods Network database and its use to identify implementations, applications, and versions of the HIDECS 2 system developed outside the context of its origin. Finally, the paper presents the interactive reconstruction of a hybrid version of HIDECS that synthesizes features discovered through querying the database, and its presentation in a public exhibition on histories and contemporary practices of computer-aided design.

summary	In this paper I identify the “infrastructure model” as the predominant approach to computationally mediated participatory design from the 1960s until the present, and discuss its history, conceptual underpinnings, and limitations. As case studies for this analysis, I use the French-based architect Yona Friedman’s and the MIT Architecture Machine Group’s 1970s proposals for participatory design computational systems. I employ the polysemic notion of “performance” to interrogate the two systems in three levels: What rationale supports the authors’ claims that in order for design to well perform for its future users, it should be performed by them? What computational models are developed to enable users to perform their own designs? How can performance, as an intuitive, improvisational process, be used to criticize the traditional models of computation in design participation and devise new computational agendas?
