{"title":"Design for Disassembly in housing: the need to adapt LCA to Shearing Layers","authors":"A. Davis","doi":"10.4995/vibrarch2022.2022.15170","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4995/vibrarch2022.2022.15170","url":null,"abstract":"The current lack of sustainable and affordable housing is a global issue which has reached a crisis point. Traditional construction approaches used to solve sustainability issues in housing are often in tension with affordability, where the achieving one of these two aims is often to the detriment to the other. The application of Design for Disassembly (DfD) in combination with Industrialised Construction (IC) can simultaneously provide environmentally and economically sustainable solutions to these ongoing housing challenges. However, the application of DfD and the planning of varying lifespans for different building components raises issues with the conventional Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, which is used to quantify environmental impacts of the construction.This paper covers three theoretical objectives: (1) to provide an overview of DfD and IC and how these can be combined to provide resource efficient, affordable housing (2) examine how the Shearing Layers concept can extend the building lifespan and better ensure a sustainable End-of-Life, and (3) a preliminary outline proposal as to how the Whole Building LCA methodology, based on existing standards, can be adapted to align with the Shearing Layers. These objectives will be achieved through a literature review, covering the theoretical principles of DfD and the key ISO standards related to LCA. Based on the literature and applied theory, a preliminary aggregated LCA methodology is proposed that will be further developed and tested using case studies in future investigations by the author.The result of the discussion reveals potential conflict between construction in practice and applying Shearing Layers and the adapted Whole Building LCA and the need for further investigation to establish the number of years assumed for each layer of the LCA. Whilst inventory data for materials and processes follow conventional practices, it is the proposed organisation of information into layers illustrates to designers the need to design housing for disassembly to remove and replace building components.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127312688","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}

{"title":"Design efficacy at a distance: Collaboration between remote design teams","authors":"Farhad Mortezaee, B. Sinclair","doi":"10.4995/vibrarch2022.2022.15225","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4995/vibrarch2022.2022.15225","url":null,"abstract":"Design problems in the best instances are intensely complex and very demanding. Given that most buildings are unique -- that is, not mass-produced -- each design project must be considered as a precedent-setting experiment. While we learn from successes and failures, building projects remain distinct and demanding. Added to the conventional complexities is the distributed nature of design production in a globalized world. The present paper addresses several key queries: What are best practices in facilitating collaboration between remote design teams? What are the implications of working from home for design team members? While the practice of design has become increasingly digital, there are inherent tensions between the principals’ insistence to work in the tangibility of the physical studio and the younger practitioners’ preference to optimize flexibility via remote delivery. More significantly, what are the barriers and challenges to working on collaborative design projects globally, including but not limited to being overwhelmed by multi-tasking, power imbalances, different cultural dispositions, technical challenges, different time zones, data privacy and proprietary concerns, shifting from studio-based practice to online work, physical model making, communication pitfalls, screen burnout, and loss of personal/leisure time?  Such important yet perplexing questions loom large. The research involves literature reviews exploring the ways that design teams collaborate remotely. Building from this analysis, the paper delineates a number of familiar challenges and proffers solutions tackling design practice using remote teams. The research considers administration (design leaders and project managers) on one hand, and production (interdisciplinary design teams) on the other. Drawing upon organizational and human development theories, and utilizing the reflective practitioner’s approach, the paper situates discussion within broader topics of human dignity, workplace psychology, career mentorship, and continuing education. Also examined are architects’ persona, culture, practices and mindsets - crucial factors shaping the conduct of distributed design. Further, this paper elaborates on Zoom virtual collaboration platform with respect to suitability and effectiveness. In the end, a conceptual model and a setup for satellite studios for distributed design are proposed that aim improve communication, heighten collaboration and strengthen design in an increasingly complicated and interconnected ethos.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127446967","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}

Likewise, new materials and supplies are used to maintain or renovate buildings, some of which are historically reused, partially or entirely. These processes generate a series of residues or waste materials C&DW, especially at the end of the building’s useful life with its demolition. These elements are becoming increasingly important from the point of view of new approaches to the circular economy. Therefore, these elements previously discarded are now considered valuable resources. The agents involved in the building process are becoming increasingly aware of these issues. There is an evolution from the obligation imposed by the regulations toward new perspectives and trends. For that purpose, current tools will be discussed and compared, helping to understand the additional challenges and possibilities for architecture.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126191805","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}

For this reason, it is necessary to take into account the acoustic conditioning of built interior spaces, since human beings spend a large part of their time in them. To this end, each country must regulate and promote good construction practices that guarantee the mental and physical comfort of its occupants. In the case of Argentina, there is an insufficiency in the development of laws and regulations on acoustic architecture and even more so on acoustics in homes. In this sense, this study aims to evaluate the current acoustic comfort presented by public housing in Argentina, highlighting the existing legal gaps, and enabling recommendations in this regard, taking Spain as the country of reference. This country is taken since Argentine legislation has traditionally replicated European and Spanish standards instead of American ones. To this end, a systemic review and comparison are made between the laws and architectural acoustic regulations of Argentina and Spain. The observation of the noise protection standards in closed areas of these countries will be deepened. For a better understanding of these and to meet the objective, a prototype of public housing was needed in different parts of the country through the PRO.CRE.AR plan is taken as a case study and verified according to each standard. IRAM and UNE. As a relevant result, it is shown that the houses built by the State only partially verify the admissible minimums proposed by the regulations. The lack of laws and complementary documents focused on acoustic conditioning is concluded through the case study.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125372869","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}

The object construction of this study is a building from1978. It has an educational use located at the Pamplona campus of the Universidad de Navarra. The building is part of the Living Lab of the Campus, where technologies, solutions and strategies can be proved It is a protected building by the “Documentation and Conservation of buildings, sites, and neighborhoods of the Modern Movement” (Do. Co,Mo.Mo.), so all actions that can affect its aesthetic aspects need to be justified because of the value of the building.The methodology presented concerns the development of a replicable technical, constructive, and economical feasibility model to reach an off-grid disconnection of an existing building. The steps followed for this study are classified in seven main steps. This proposal aims to define a replicable solution that is going to be applied to other buildings of campus Universidad de Navarra in Pamplona.Even that the first solution is going to be limited by the aesthetic aspect, the final objective is to develop a Plug & Play solution following the methodology, answering the energetical deficiency and complexity of existing constructions.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128993845","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}

Such phenomena advocate for multidisciplinary research activities including on- and off-site investigations of data-collection and evaluation as well as event-based virtual scenarios and action solutions respectively. In this framework, a temporary building unit is proposed to host single researchers in remote environments. The unit consists of a lightweight structure that can be easily erected and actively controlled. The unit is supported on four diagonals anchored to the ground and it has a circular horizontal and an elliptical vertical section. The core consists of a glass-fiber polymer (GFRP) cone base at its lower level, vertically positioned GFRP bending-active strips and a GFRP cone at its upper level. The cones are vertically connected through tendons that are activated by linear motion actuators. The structure consists of a double layer gridshell of GFRP bending-active rods and a semitransparent ETFE membrane with embedded thin-film CIGS photovoltaics. Sensors on the membrane transfer continuously the external wind pressure to a control system for the adjustment of the spatial shape of the unit through the tendons. The paper displays the design of the unit in its components, and emphasizes on its adaptivity features with regard to the structural deformability in parametric associative design logic. The methodology followed serves as a basis for further iterative analyses with regard to the form optimization of the structural elements, the system’s load-deformation and dynamic behavior.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124489682","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}

Sinclair","doi":"10.4995/vibrarch2022.2022.15202","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4995/vibrarch2022.2022.15202","url":null,"abstract":"Modern architecture is, with limited exceptions, designed and constructed in ways that prove static, staid and resistant to change. Iconic design, crafted by genius architects as sole authors, considered solidity and permanence before responsivity and adaptability. In principle architects knew best what society needed spatially and provided artful designs with expectations that were beyond challenge and not subject to modification. Over the past century there were numerous efforts by designers, such as Gerrit Reitveld, Cedric Price and Kisho Kurokawa, to anticipate change in program, to consider user influence in operations, and to challenge conservative thinking around the monumentality of buildings. In most cases thinking of these innovators outpaced technology’s ability to keep pace. However, in recent years and especially in Japan, technology has advanced in ways permitting greater mutability and heighted agility in architecture. Considering pre-fabrication for example, as one means to increase adaptability and customization in architecture, the Japanese market proves a clear leader, a proven innovator and a pronounced success story. North America, on the other hand, has been intensely resistant to agile design, modularized construction and open building. The present research critically considers these two realms, Japan and North America, deploying case studies to illuminate differences in approach. Included in facets considered from an agile architecture vantage point are psychological posturing around change, legal systems around construction, political attitudes around policy and societal expectations around monumentality. Japanese influences of history, spirituality and culture contribute to a willingness to have architecture that’s transient, temporary and unfixed. In North America values around ownership, materiality and capital resist architecture that’s mutable. This paper analyzes differences in approach and develops a conceptual frame for more appropriate, responsive and responsible architecture for the 21st century.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133378482","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}

Many recent approaches have tended however to concentrate on the technical, material and economic aspects of reuse at the expense of the equally important social and cultural aspects.This paper discusses a recently-launched project at Hasselt University in Belgium that attempts to address this myopic imbalance through the development of a conceptual framework that firmly repositions adaptive reuse as a transdisciplinary practice, engaged not only with ‘hard’ values like technical and material concerns, but also ‘soft’ values encompassing the integral cultural and social aspects that give places meaning.The project sets out to curate an anthology of textual and non-textual sources from both within and beyond the discipline of architecture that can contribute to the emerging theory of adaptive reuse and situate it within wider contemporary discourses. This collected body of knowledge is then examined through the critical lens of translation, investigating the acts of translation involved in reconciling different traces, time periods, interventions and actors, as a way to synthesise the various meanings uncovered and suggest how the intimate and reciprocal relay between theory, practice and education might be strengthened.Through an exploration of anthologising as a critical practice and translation as a critical lens, the paper highlights how proposing a theoretical foundation for adaptive reuse can help reinforce its cross-cutting nature as a cultural activity, at the same time emphasising the critical role it has to play in any future sustainable development. ","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130071669","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}
