    • A General Theory for Finding the Lightest Manmade Structures Using Voronoi and Delaunay 

      Mohammed Mustafa, Ezzat (2016)
      A general theory for finding the lightest possible structures is introduced in this article. Then a special centroid form of the theory is introduced. This special form will later help in the implementation of the general ...

    • Changing Tangent and Curvature Data of B-splines via Knot Manipulation 

      Béla, Szilvia B.-S; Szilvási-Nagy, Márta (2016)
      Modifications of B-spline knot values change the parametrization and influence the shape of B-spline curves. Via these computations one can modify B-spline data (derivative, curvature value at a curve point, some points ...

    • BIM as a Transformer of Processes 

      Sundfør, Ingolf; Selvær, Harald (2016)
      The use and implementation of BIM technology, BIM software and BIM processes are still new to the Architect, Engineering and Construction industry. Adopting BIM in a project involves more than just a software update. The ...

    • Integration of Facility Management System and Building Information Modeling 

      Xu, Lei (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 ...

    • Forecasting Lifetime of Components in Building by Using BIM 

      Michio, Matsubayashi; Shun, Watanabe (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 ...

    • BIM to GIS and GIS to BIM 

      Kari, Szabolcs; Lellei, László; Gyulai, Attila; Sik, András; Riedel, Miklós Márton (2016)
      Designing of a building and urban planning are two different professions. Apart from the professional knowledge the data, the scale, the applied software are all different. However, these two areas depend on each other. ...

    • De-Script-ion: Individuality / Uniformity 

      Wai-yin, Helen Lam; Bertin, Vito (2016)
      On the one hand, I am fascinated by a phenomenon that creates richness and harmony in nature, like trees of the same kind sharing the same characteristics and being individually unique. On the other hand, in contemporary ...

    • Connecting Online-Configurators (Including 3D Representations) with CAD-Systems, Small Scale Solutions for SMEs in the Design-Product and Building Sector 

      Kulcke, Matthias (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 ...

    • 3D Shape Grammar of Polyhedral Spires 

      Strommer, László (2016)
      Any random words can be put together – but in most cases they would not constitute a meaningful sentence. Similarly, any geometry can be used as the shape of a building or an architectural element, but in most cases ...

    • Enhancing Housing Flexibility Through Collaboration 

      De Paris, Sabine Ritter; Lopes, Carlos Nuno Lacerda (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 ...

    • Minka, Machiya, and Gassho-Zukuri, Procedural Generation of Japanese Traditional Houses 

      Watanabe, Shun (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 ...

    • Backcasting and a New Way of Command in Computational Design 

      Koenig, Reinhard; Schmitt, Gerhard (2016)
      It’s not uncommon that analysis and simulation methods are used mainly to evaluate finished designs and to proof their quality. Whereas the potential of such methods is to lead or control a design process from the beginning ...

    • Half Cadence: Towards Integrative Design 

      Kolarevic, Branko (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 ...

    • Kajima’s BIM Theory & Methods 

      Yajima, Kazumi (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 ...
