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 ...
Connecting Online-Configurators (Including 3D Representations) with CAD-Systems, Small Scale Solutions for SMEs in the Design-Product and Building Sector
(2016)
As small and medium enterprises, such as craftsmen in the building sector, are often unable to invest in larger scale software solutions, full-blown on-line product configurators with embedded real-time 3D rendering appeared ...
Complexity across scales in the work of Le Corbusier, Using box-counting as a method for analysing facades
(2016)
Since Benoît Mandelbrot raised the question about the length of Brit-ain’s coastline in 1967, it has become obvious that fractal geometry is appropriate for describing irregular forms. In 1996 Carl Bovill applied box-counting, ...
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 ...
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 ...
