Enhancing Housing Flexibility Through Collaboration
(2016)Flexibility is a solution employed in housing from the twentieth century, in which allows space adaptation to its residents. In addition to creativity, various materials assisted this transformation over the years, improving ... -
Forecasting Lifetime of Components in Building by Using BIM
(2016)Because the conservation of buildings constructed during Japan’s period of high economic growth is now an urgent problem, this paper reports on the development of a method of forecasting the time between problems of building ... -
Geometric Modelling and Reconstruction of Surfaces
(2016)New technological environment is present in civil engineering and used in academic education. It is also used in geometric research. This paper presents some examples of different technology, used in surface modelling, ... -
Half Cadence: Towards Integrative Design
(2016)This paper projects an alternative vision of integrated design that is more open, fluid, pliable, and opportunistic in its search of collaborative alliances and agendas. This alternative approach is referred to as integrative ... -
Horizontal Load Resistance of Ruined Walls, Case Study of a Hungarian Castle with the Aid of Laser
(2016)The use of laser scanning technology for surveying historical buildings or ruins is gaining widespread popularity. While the “manual” surveying methods are time-consuming and provide just rough guess about the shape of the ... -
Identification of Required Processes and Data for Facilitating the Assessment of Resources Management Efficiency During Buildings Life Cycle
(2016)Construction resources including materials, labors, and equipment are extremely cost extensive in all construction projects. The management of these re-sources is a complex process, which significantly affects construction ... -
Integrating Point Clouds to Support Architectural Visualization and Communication
(2016)Current paper discusses spatial, survey data (i.e. terrestrial laser scanning, structured light scanning, aerial photogrammetry) processing methods and its various use cases from an architect’s point of view. Besides the ... -
Integration of Facility Management System and Building Information Modeling
(2016)Based on the investigation of administration of apartment building in Japan, a database for facility management, including the information of inspection schedule and maintenance frequency, are proposed in XML. The building ... -
Issues of Control and Command in Digital Design and Architectural Computation
(2016)Issues of control and command in architecture are considered here via reflections on recent and current research projects concerning digital technologies. The projects’ topics cover a range of scales and approaches, from ... -
Kajima’s BIM Theory & Methods
(2016)KAJIMA [1] is one of the largest construction companies in Japan. We have been applying BIM to more than 350 projects in Japan for the last 4 years (740 projects worldwide). We believe that there is nothing comparable to ... -
Minka, Machiya, and Gassho-Zukuri, Procedural Generation of Japanese Traditional Houses
(2016)Minka (traditional folk house), machiya (historic town house), and gassho-zukuri (farmhouse conserved in the World Heritage villages) have individual characteristics in terms of their geometric shapes and are strongly ... -
Parametric Details of Membrane Constructions
(2016)The present paper represents a novel method of creating algorithms to accelerate and optimize the complex modeling of membrane details for designers. The Rhino® Grasshopper® software is used for the work. A set of parametric ... -
Performance-oriented Design Assisted by a Parametric Toolkit - Case study
(2016)Ongoing development of Budapest Zoo includes a Biodome building which is going to be the largest building of its kind in Europe. The Biodome was designed by Mérték Architectural Studio, supported by ABUD Engineering Ltd ... -
Responsive Interaction in Dynamic Envelopes with Mesh Tessellation
(2016)The paper will report on an ongoing experimental research collaboration to develop a conceptual architectural envelope that responds to feedback from external stimuli. The paper builds on our research on the construction ... -
Solar Envelope Optimization Method for Complex Urban Environments
(2016)Planning requirements in terms of energy efficiency and daylighting strongly contribute to shaping the layout of cities. Direct solar access is the main requirement of the right to light in Estonia. Direct sunlight hours ... -
Stereotomic Models In Architecture, A Generative Design Method to Integrate Spatial and Structural Parameters Through the Application of Subtractive Operations
(2016)This paper introduces a generative design method for architecture grounded on the stereotomic approach. The method is based on the application of the Boolean subtraction operation to integrate spatial and structural ... -
The Importance of Connectivism in Architectural Design Learning: Developing Creative Thinking
(2016)The creative thinking is an ability that should be learned and developed by teaching and practice. When these activities are elaborated into social circle and interact with different perspectives, it is possible to improve ... -
Time-based Matter: Suggesting New Formal Variables for Space Design
(2016)Presently, digitalisation has moved beyond a desktop paradigm to one of ubiquitous computing; by introducing new possibilities and dynamic materials to various design fields, e.g. product design and architecture, it allows ... -
Towards the Measurement of Perceived Architectural Qualities
(2016)“Architectural quality” is a property of the built environment that, even though often quoted, is hard to define in rigorous terms. In our work, we take a step into that direction, based on recent results in cognitive ... -
Visual Structuring for Generative Design Search Spaces Scanning Technology
(2016)With generative design strategies, the act of design, the problem-solving process, and the interaction, understanding and representation of design artefacts have changed. As such strategies entail a large number of possible ...
