Researchers have proposed many models to predict solar radiation and related indexes are used to evaluate thermal comfort. However, there are some limitations in the existing solar radiation models and evaluation indexes, such as only applying to sunny weather and requiring intensive modeling work. This study adopts a mathematical model called the improved HNU Solar Model and proposes a new evaluation index called the annual thermal discomfort time ratio by solar radiation (<i>ratio</i>_{<i>td, solar</i>}) to evaluate thermal comfort of indoor occupants exposed to solar radiation. The effects of different window parameters, i.e. window direction, window transmittance (<i>T</i>_<i>sol</i>) and window-to-wall ratio (WWR) on <i>ratio</i>_{<i>td, solar</i>} were also analyzed. The results show that the indoor area less than 2.0 m away from the window is easy to have solar discomfort. And for every 0.1 reduction in WWR, the average values of the four directions are reduced by 3% to 4%; and for every 0.1 reduction in <i>T</i>_<i>sol</i>, the <i>ratio</i>_{<i>td, solar</i>} values of four window directions are reduced by 4% to 6%. This study provides references for evaluating and optimizing the window design to create thermally comfortable environments for indoor occupants.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72270,"journal":{"name":"Architectural intelligence","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s44223-024-00072-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142409202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, designing such multifunctional structures requires new design and modelling strategies to control, understand, and generate complex geometries and their transcalar interdependencies. The work presented here demonstrates a modeling framework that can unite multiple generative and organizational algorithms to create a unified, 3D printable building element that integrates a range of functional requirements. Our methods are based on an understanding of stigmergic principles for self-organization and developed to allow for a wide range of application scenarios and design intents. The framework is structured around a composite modeling environment based on a combination of volumetric modeling and particle-spring systems, and is developed to negotiate the large scalar range necessary for such applications.

Although the use of AI technologies is exponentially increasing inside the architectural discipline, the design of spatial building configurations using AI-generated 3D geometries is still limited in its applications and represents an ongoing field of investigation in advanced architectural research. In this regard, several questions still need to be answered: how can we design new building typologies from AI-generated 3D geometries? And how can we use these typologies to shape both the real and the virtual world?</p><p>The paper proposes a new approach to architectural design where artificial intelligence is used as the starting point for design exploration, while computational design procedures are employed to convert AI-generated 3D geometries into building elements – such as columns, beams, horizontal and vertical surfaces. The paper starts with a general overview of the current use of artificial intelligence inside the architectural discipline, and then it moves towards the explanation of specific AI generative models for 3D geometry reconstruction and representation. Subsequently, the proposed working pipeline is analysed in more detail – from the creation of 3D geometries using generative AI models to the conversion of such geometries into building elements that can be further designed and optimised using computational design tools and methods. The results shown in the paper are achieved using Shap-E as the main AI model, though the proposed pipeline can be implemented with multiple AI models.

In a time where traditional architectural typologies are moving towards stagnation due to their inability to satisfy new human needs and ways of living, exploring AI-based working pipelines related to architectural design allows the definition of new design solutions for the generation of new architectural spaces. In doing so, the serendipitous aspect of AI biases is used as an auxiliary force to inform design decisions, promoting the discovery of a new inbuilt dynamism between human and artificial creativity. In a time where AI is everywhere, understanding the measure of such dynamism represents a key aspect for the future of the architectural discipline.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72270,"journal":{"name":"Architectural intelligence","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s44223-024-00060-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141679818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As is typically the case with standard building components, the brackets are overdesigned with higher load margins than real applied loads. Optimising them results in reduced mass and a more evenly spread stress distribution. Correspondingly, the question that the project asks is whether the optimised designs have a comparable structural performance to the standard bracketry used in construction, and a lower embodied carbon. To answer this, several optimisations of a standard facade bracket are performed, resulting in a total of six converged design options, with three of them progressed for fabrication. The manufactured designs are then horizontal and vertical load and residual stress tested to assess their performance, and an embodied carbon analysis is performed to calculate the corresponding emissions for raw material extraction, processing, and component fabrication. The results indicate the presence of compressive yield magnitude residual stresses, and that structural performance is comparable to a standard bracket, but embodied carbon is in most cases higher. The paper concludes with a discussion of the findings, and possible next steps in the optimisation, structural testing, and embodied carbon analysis workflow.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72270,"journal":{"name":"Architectural intelligence","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s44223-024-00063-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142413598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Porous masonry forms numerous enclosed cavities for thermal performance and reduces material usage while maintaining structural integrity. This work investigates the potential and limits of digital tectonics of porous masonry through a complete process of design, manufacturing, and construction. The confluence of digital fabrication with tectonic exploration opens new dimensions unattainable by traditional stereotomy. Interlocking materials inspired by Abeille vault and digital stereotomy have made rapid progress. Following the theory of poetic construction, this work proposes that masonry construction should evoke visual or haptic enhancement through the fulfillment of pragmatic functions. We formulated a design challenge for a confined dry masonry wall for the envelope of the 2226 building. It assumes batch-cutting bespoke units out of large blocks of high-strength foam. Through a process of cutting and reassembling, the stock material is topologically expanded into a porous structure. A series of prototypes were developed to explore novel articulation, structural and thermal performance, and economical manufacturing. One can perceive the logic of porous construction through visual and haptic empathy. The materialization process interacts with the design masonry units and the interlocking mechanism. For future practice in masonry, the porosity should be planned at multiple scales (molecular scale, aggerate scale, construction scale) across the life cycle of the material.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72270,"journal":{"name":"Architectural intelligence","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s44223-024-00061-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141271735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
