Ο αρχιτεκτονικός σχεδιασμός μπορεί να οριστεί ως η διαχείριση του φυσικού υλικού χώρου σε σχέση με τα ανθρώπινα συμβάντα που λαμβάνουν χώρα μέσα σε αυτόν. Παρόλο που οι αρχιτέκτονες έχουν μία πληθώρα υπολογιστικών σχεδιαστικών εργαλείων στη διάθεση τους, οι πλειοψηφία των εργαλείων αυτών αφορά αποκλειστικά τη διαχείριση της φυσικής φόρμας. Η παρούσα έρευνα προτείνει ένα νέο πειραματικό σχεδιαστικό εργαλείο το οποίο επιτρέπει τη δημιουργία παραμετρικών οντοτήτων που αντιπροσωπεύουν πιθανά ανθρώπινα χωρικά συμβάντα μέσα σε τρισδιάστατα ψηφιακά μοντέλα. Ο στόχος είναι να δοθεί η δυνατότητα στους αρχιτεκτονικούς σχεδιαστές να αξιολογούν και να εξελίσσουν τις προτάσεις τους όχι μόνο βάσει της φόρμας του κτιρίου αλλά και βάσει των χωρικών συμβάντων που λαμβάνουν χώρα μέσα σε αυτά.Το πρώτο τμήμα της διατριβής ορίζει με σαφήνεια τις έννοιες του αρχιτεκτονικού σχεδιασμού (architectural design process), των χωρικών συμβάντων (spatial events) και των υπολογιστικών σχεδιαστικών εργαλείων (computational design tools) και διερευνά τους τρόπους με τους οποίους αυτές συσχετίζονται μεταξύ τους τόσο σε ερευνητικό όσο και σε εφαρμοσμένο επίπεδο. Μέσω αυτού του πλαισίου, εξετάζονται οι υπάρχουσες σχετικές ερευνητικές απόπειρες και αναγνωρίζεται το επιστημολογικό κενό που έρχεται να καλύψει το προτεινόμενο εργαλείο. Το δεύτερο τμήμα της έρευνας είναι αφιερωμένο στην αναλυτική περιγραφή του νέου εργαλείου το οποίο έχει τη μορφή ενός λογισμικού-επέκταση (plugin) που προσφέρει επιπλέον λειτουργικότητα σε υπάρχον σχεδιαστικό πρόγραμμα. Το plugin αυτό παρουσιάζεται ως μερικώς λειτουργικό πρωτότυπο και επιτρέπει στους χρήστες του να δημιουργούν διάφανες, ογκομετρικές, παραμετρικές οντότητες (που ονομάζονται ‘event platforms’) οι οποίες απεικονίζουν πιθανά χωρικά συμβάντα μέσα στα ψηφιακά μοντέλα των φυσικών στοιχείων του κτιρίου. Μέσω της μετατροπής αφηρημένων ανθρώπινων δεδομένων σε χειροπιαστά διαντιδραστικά στοιχεία, οι κρίσιμοι αυτοί σχεδιαστικοί παράμετροι μπορούν να είναι διαχειρίσιμοι κατά τη διάρκεια του σχεδιασμού, να διασυνδεθούν αμφίδρομα με τα γεωμετρικά στοιχεία του κτιρίου και να οπτικοποιηθούν μέσω καινοτόμων διαγραμμάτων και βίντεο.Τέλος, το τρίτο τμήμα της διατριβής αφιερώνεται στην διερεύνηση της πρακτικής λειτουργικότητας του εργαλείου μέσω της αναλυτική μελέτης τριών σχεδιαστικών παραδειγμάτων. Τα παραδείγματα αυτά (μία μικρή κατοικία, ένα κτίριο γραφείων και ένα τραπεζικό σύμπλεγμα κτιρίων) διαφέρουν σε κλίμακα και πολυπλοκότητα και προσφέρονται για την αξιολόγηση του εργαλείου υπό διαφορετικές συνθήκες χρήσης. Μέσα από τη παρακολούθηση των σχεδιαστικών χειρισμών των παραδειγμάτων αυτών είναι δυνατή η εξαγωγή συμπερασμάτων αναφορικά με τη χρηστικότητα του και την πιθανή μελλοντική του εξέλιξη.Ο τελικός αντικειμενικός σκοπός της ερευνητικής προσπάθειας είναι η διερεύνηση νέων θεωρητικών μεθόδων αλλά και πρακτικών εφαρμογών οι οποίες, εκμεταλλευόμενες στο έπακρο τα πλεονεκτήματα των σύγχρονων ψηφιακών μέσων, θα δίνουν στον σχεδιαστή τη δυνατότητα να διαχειρίζεται, να οπτικοποιεί και να αξιολογεί χωρικά συμβάντα κατά τη διάρκεια του αρχιτεκτονικού σχεδιασμού.

Traditional Construction Techniques

Parametric modeling, usually considered modeling tools, has been analyzed in this chapter in a different way: as design tools for architect. First the use of parametric design has been considered from different approaches. Starting from the approach of Kas Oosterhuis Architect, in the Saltwater pavilion (1997), or Peter Cook Architect in the Kunsthaus (2003), in which the parametric tools have been used as shapes generation tools. Until the approach of the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, in the Sunny Hills building (2013), where the parametric tools have been used to rethink traditional construction techniques in a parametric way, known as chidori. After the analysis of the different parametric approaches, a new perception on the architectural design will be provided. In particular, the analytic way and the creative way, are usually separated in the architectural design, and it will enhance their interaction, in some cases, they become the same thing. This approach makes explicit and evaluable parts of the design process, reducing the gap between concept and goal in the design.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to find optimal solutions for conceptual design automation, which can be integrated with Building Information Modelling (BIM) support for construction automation. Problems relating ostensibly to failures in computational support for the conceptual design stage are well-documented in extant literature. These failures are multifarious and significant, with several deficiencies being acknowledged in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Whilst acknowledging this, extant literature has highlighted the importance of computational design in the AEC industry; and failures in this area include the need to strengthen the congruent links and support mechanisms in order to exploit the opportunities presented by new computational design methods. Given this, it is postulated that the application of generative design could enhance the design experience by assisting designers with the iterative generation of alternatives and parameterisation (change management) processes. Moreover, as BIM applications are increasingly providing comprehensive support for modelling and management, then additional synergies could be examined for further exploitation. Design/methodology/approach – This paper focusses on the potential for developing an interactive BIM environment that purposefully adopts generative design as a method of computational design for the early design stages. This research facilitates the automation of the conceptual architectural design process, using BIM as the central conduit for enhancing the integration of the whole building design process (including design interfaces). This approach is designed to improve designers’ cognition and collaboration during the conceptual architectural design process. Findings – This paper evaluates the existing methods and decision support mechanisms, and it introduces the potential of combining different concepts into a single environment (generative design/BIM). Originality/value – This research is novel, in that it critically appraises virtual generative workspaces using BIM as the central conduit. The outcome and intervention of this research forms a theoretical basis for the development of a “proof of concept” prototype, which actively engages generative design into a single dynamic BIM environment to support the early conceptual design process.

PurposeThis research investigates the means of tacit knowledge (TK) communication between the designer and the computer in architectural design. Despite the integration of state-of-the-art computational technologies in different design phases, this integration happens within a limited scope, focusing mainly on tangible aspects of the design process, such as technical systems and visual representations. This lets architectural design miss the wider scope technology provides, where it can help in developing the computational design process through incorporating new intangible knowledge domains that were usually neglected, such as tacit knowledge, and through incorporating more design entities that were not included in the design process before.Design/methodology/approachThe study conducts an interdisciplinary analytical review of the literature to achieve two main research goals. The first goal investigates TK communication between human beings and the second understands approaches of TK communication between humans and computers. For each goal, three phases were implemented; an initial research phase, where main keywords are identified, a sampling and selection of literature phase and an analysis of literature phase.FindingsThrough interlinking findings from different disciplines, the study presents a theoretical framework for TK communication. The framework provides architects with an approach to construct and transfer TK while using the computer in a computational design environment, presenting an individual and a social set of conditions and factors revealed from the review of the analyzed literature. The framework particularly emphasizes the significance of a human–computer symbiotic relationship for the process of TK communication to take place.Originality/valueThis paper presents a novel interdisciplinary reading into the literature of fields beyond architectural design, incorporating intangible knowledge domains into the computational design process and expanding the capabilities of computational design tools to allow for the transfer of intangible design attributes between different design entities, particularly tacit design knowledge.

This chapter presents a conceptual model of the architectural design process, spanning from ideation to realization, but not focused on stages in the process. Instead, the model identifies four primary meta-systems in design (representational, proportional, indexical, and operational) that are connected through, and supported by, a range of enabling tools and technologies. The purpose of developing this model is to support a heightened understanding of the parallel evolution of the design process and of enabling technologies. Thereafter, the chapter introduces seven recent trends in computational design and technology, each of which serves to enable the design process. The seven developments are: Building Information Modeling (BIM), parametric design, generative design, collaborative design, digital fabrication, augmented reality, and intelligent environments. The chapter offers a critical review of proposed definitions of each of these technologies along with a discussion of their role as a catalyst for change in the design process.

New Approach

As a new approach of the sustainable design, parametric design, which is also known as computational design, has become the new focus in architecture digital design. Parametric design which mostly applied in architectural design of landmark building is a special architectural type. Instead of ignoring social attribute and environmental characteristics of building, more architects are attracted to the amazing form of building from the result of parametric design. We should pay more attention to context, environmental factors and social influence in parametric design process, and give landmark building more social significance.

New Buildings

Improving the energy efficiency of existing and new buildings is an important step towards achieving more sustainable environments. There are various methods for grading buildings that are required according to regulations in different places for green building certification. However, in new buildings, these rating systems are usually implemented at late design stages due to their complexity and lack of integration in the architectural design process, thus limiting the available options for improving their performance. In this paper, the model ENERGYui used for design and rating buildings in Israel is presented. One of its main advantages is that it can be used at any design stage, including the early ones. It requires information that is available at each stage only, as the additional necessary information is supplemented by the model. In this way, architects can design buildings in a way where they are aware of each design decision and its impact on their energy performance, while testing different design directions. ENERGYui rates the energy performance of each basic unit, as well as the entire building. The use of the model is demonstrated in two different scenarios: an office building in which basic architectural features such as form and orientation are tested from the very beginning, and a residential building in which the intervention focuses on its envelope, highlighting the possibilities of improving their design during the whole design process.
