CAADence in Architecture, 2016
Browse by
The aim of these workshops and conference is to help transfer and spread newly appearing design technologies, educational methods and digital modelling supported by information technology in architecture. By organizing a workshop with a conference, we would like to close the distance between practice and theory.Architects who keep up with the new design demanded by the building industry will remain at the forefront of the design process in our IT-based world. Being familiar with the tools available for simulations and early phase models will enable architects to lead the process. We can get “back to command”.Our slogan “Back to Command” contains another message. In the expanding world of IT applications, one must be able to change preliminary models readily by using different parameters and scripts. These approaches bring back the feeling of commandoriented systems, although with much greater effectiveness.

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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -

(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 ... -
Classification of Parametric Design Techniques, Types of Surface Patterns
(2016)The main objective of this paper is to classify the techniques of para-metric design, and make the existing classification system more exact. The previously created classification was based on shape and logical aspects, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
2D-Hygrothermal Simulation of Historical Solid Walls
(2016)The analysis and the knowledge of the historical building masonries are key elements in preserving and enhancing their heritage value in a conscious way. The paper aims at simulating the hygrothermal behaviour of several ... -
