{"title":"An Expandable Software Model for Collaborative Decision-Making During the Whole Building Life Cycle","authors":"K. Papamichael, Vineeta Pal, Norman Bourassa, J. Loffeld, G. Capeluto","doi":"10.52842/conf.acadia.2000.019","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2000.019","url":null,"abstract":"Decisions throughout the life cycle of a building, from design through construction and commissioning to operation and demolition, require the involvement of multiple interested parties (e.g., architects, engineers, owners, occupants and facility managers). The performance of alternative designs and courses of action must be assessed with respect to multiple performance criteria, such as comfort, aesthetics, energy, cost and environmental impact. Several stand-alone computer tools are currently available that address specific performance issues during various stages of a building's life cycle. Some of these tools support collaboration by providing means for synchronous and asynchronous communications, performance simulations, and monitoring of a variety of performance parameters involved in decisions about a building during building operation. However, these tools are not linked in any way, so significant work is required to maintain and distribute information to all parties. In this paper we describe a software model that provides the data management and process control required for collaborative decision making throughout a building's life cycle. The requirements for the model are delineated addressing data and process needs for decision making at different stages of a building's life cycle. The software model meets these requirements and allows addition of any number of processes and support databases over time. What makes the model infinitely expandable is that it is a very generic conceptualization (or abstraction) of processes as relations among data. The software model supports multiple concurrent users, and facilitates discussion and debate leading to decision making. The software allows users to define rules and functions for automating tasks and alerting all participants to issues that need attention. It supports management of simulated as well as real data and continuously generates information useful for improving performance prediction and understanding of the effects of proposed technologies and strategies.","PeriodicalId":246516,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129945928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These inefficiencies are directly related to the time consuming nature of the construction documentation process, given that the majority of time is spent reformatting and redrawing previous details and specifications. The concepts of objectoriented programming are used as an organizational framework for construction documentation. Database structures are also used as a key component to information reuse in the documentation process. A prototype system is developed as an alternative to current Computer-Aided Drafting software. This prototype, the Drawing Assembler, functions as a graphic search engine for construction details. It links a building component database with a construction detail database through the intersection of dissimilar objects.","PeriodicalId":246516,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115141052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Testa, Una-May O’Reilly, Simon Greenwold","doi":"10.52842/conf.acadia.2000.227","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2000.227","url":null,"abstract":"AGENCY GP is a prototype for a system using genetic programming (GP) for architectural design exploration. Its software structure is noteworthy for its integration into a high-end three-dimensional modeling environment, its allowance for direct user interruption of evolution and reintegration of phenotypically modified individuals, and its agent-based evaluation of fitness. 1 Overview AGENCY GP is a software framework we are developing to explore the possibilities for architectural design of offices and workspaces that arise from new concepts for organization and management theory that include non-hierarchical and emergent organizations. 1.1 Maya Integration Through the Alias|Wavefront Maya platform’s API, we are building a genetic programming system operating over a language capable of expressing three dimensional designs and the free-form deformation of space to create morphologies that a designer may not have otherwise imagined possible. The Maya platform allows us to abstract the representation of three-dimensional forms so that we can operate freely on them without concern for the complexity of the underlying geometry. The language we have developed manipulates spatial constructs at a high enough level that its individual operations are meaningful to a designer. This language, in its representational power combined with its simplicity of expression, is the first major innovation of AGENCY GP. 1.2 User Control Typically interruption, intervention, and resumption (IIR) of the evolutionary process is difficult to achieve in genetic programming environments because in most systems it is impossible to map changes of the external (phenotypic) individual back onto the internal genotype. However, because of the high level of transparency of our GP language, we have been able to design a system that will allow for IIR. A designer will be able to employ statements of the language himself to manually alter the forms of members of the population and reintegrate them for continued evolution. IIR, the second software innovation of AGENCY GP is a primary objective of research, and a major area for our continued investigation. 1.3 Agents The third innovation AGENCY GP will employ is the determination of fitness from the point of view of various agents that inhabit the space. Agents are not necessarily single users; they may also represent emergent organizational elements such as a group of users who express a coherent need,","PeriodicalId":246516,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127484526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anson","doi":"10.52842/conf.acadia.2000.129","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.acadia.2000.129","url":null,"abstract":"Should computer programming be taught within schools of architecture? Incorporating even low-level computer programming within architectural education curricula is a matter of debate but we have found it useful to do so for two reasons: as an introduction or at least a consolidation of the realm of descriptive geometry and in providing an environment for experimenting in morphological time-based change. Mathematics and descriptive geometry formed a significant proportion of architectural education until the end of the 19th century. This proportion has declined in contemporary curricula, possibly at some cost for despite major advances in automated manufacture, Cartesian measurement is still the principal ‘language’ with which to describe building for construction purposes. When computer programming is used as a platform for instruction in logic and spatial representation, the waning interest in mathematics as a basis for spatial description can be readdressed using a left-field approach. Students gain insights into topology, Cartesian space and morphology through programmatic form finding, as opposed to through direct manipulation. In this context, it matters to the architect-programmer how the program operates more than what it does. This paper describes an assignment where students are given a figurative conceptual space comprising the three Cartesian axes with a cube at its centre. Six Phileban solids mark the Cartesian axial limits to the space. Any point in this space represents a hybrid of one, two or three transformations from the central cube towards the various Phileban solids. Students are asked to predict the topological and morphological outcomes of the operations. Through programming, they become aware of morphogenesis and hybridisation. Here we articulate the hypothesis above and report on the outcome from a student group, whose work reveals wider learning opportunities for architecture students in computer programming than conventionally assumed.","PeriodicalId":246516,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129097376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
