36^th Annual Conference
17^th - 21^st September 2018

Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture
and Environmental Engineering
Lodz, Poland

When we consider the aims of research activities, design efforts and mastering towards ideal solutions in the area of digital technologies in the built environment, such as CAD, CAM, CAE, BIM, FM, GIS, VR, AR and others, we may realise the actual reason for that is to make life better, healthier, prettier, happier, more sustainable and smarter. The usefulness of undertaken studies might be tested and proved by the noticeable shared approach of putting humans and their environments in a central position: man and the environment, nature and design, art and technology...

Natural disasters and climate change, crime and terrorism, disabilities and society ageing - architects, designers and scientists active in the built environment domain are not able to eliminate all the risk, dangers and problems of contemporary world. On the other hand, they have social and moral responsibilities to address human needs and take up this multifaceted challenge. It involves a co-operation and, moreover, an interdisciplinary and user-oriented approach.

The complexity of raised problems should not discourage us, on the contrary, it should stimulate activities towards living up to human dreams of a better and sustainable tomorrow.

This calls for a revision of methods and tools applied in research, teaching and practice. Where are we? What are the milestones and roadmaps at the end of the second decade of the 21st century?

Do we really take the most of the abundance of accumulated knowledge? Or we skip to explore another undiscovered domains?

W-0.1 - CANCELLED ~~BIM-BPS / Data transfer from BIM to Building Performance Simulation~~ Half day workshop Date: 18^th September 2018 - Afternoon Session - 1400 : 1830 hrs Location: To be announced
W-0.2 Non-manifold Topology / Non-manifold Topology for Architectural and Engineering modelling Two days workshop Date: 17^th - 18^th September 2018 Location: TUL Institute of Physics / Floor 01 / Room 1.02
Wassim Jabi Robert Aish	Cardiff University UCL
Non-manifold topology (NMT) allows the user to construct light-weight conceptual spatial architectural models which define the overall enclosure and the internal cellular division within that enclosure. The objective of this workshop is to give participants hands-on opportunities with a new software library that we have been developing under a research grant from the Leverhulme Trust. On the first day, the concepts of non-manifold topology will be introduced, including non-regular modelling operations. On the second day, we will introduce two plug-ins, which have been interfaced to our NMT tools: a) building energy simulation using OpenStudio and EnergyPlus and b) structural analysis software.
Non-manifold topology (NMT) allows the user to construct light-weight conceptual spatial architectural models which define the overall enclosure and the internal cellular division within that enclosure. The objective of this workshop is to give participants hands-on opportunities to build spatial models using NMT and use these models for various tasks such as building energy simulation (using EnergyPlus) and structural analysis. The workshop will consist of formal instruction, practical exercises and opportunities for the participants to use NMT modelling with their own architectural projects and research. The non-manifold topology library, written in C++, will be available as a Dynamo plugin. Participants should be familiar with the basics of Dynamo visual programming. On the first day, the concepts of non-manifold topology will be introduced, including non-regular modelling operations. It is assumed that participants are already familiar with conventional solid modelling using manifold topology and regular Boolean operations. Some formal exercises will be presented to help the participants acquire the appropriate hands-on modelling skills before exploring their own projects, guided by the workshop tutors. On the second day, we will introduce connections from the NMT tools to building performance simulation using two plug-ins for a) energy analysis (using OpenStudio/EnergyPlus) and b) for structural analysis. We will illustrate how the NMT approach yields lightweight and conceptually clear models that are highly compatible with the input requirements of building simulation software. The formal instruction on the second day will address the special modelling constraints required by these two plug-ins. The workshop will allow time for the participants to build and test different non-manifold models, guided by the workshop tutors. This workshop is part of the Non-Manifold Research project funded by the Leverhulme Trust (Research Project Grant Number RPG2106-16) at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University and at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. The building performance analysis tools introduced at the workshop have been developed in collaboration with our industrial partners: The National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) and BuroHappold Engineering.

W-0.3 Co-Design in HYVE-3D / Representational Ecosystem, Design Conversations and Knowledge Construction Activities Two days workshop Date: 17^th - 18^th September 2018 Location: TUL Institute of Physics / Floor 00 / Room 0.25
Tomás Dorta Hadas Sopher Emmanuel Beaudry-Marchand	Hybridlab, University of Montreal Technion, Israel Institute of Technology Hybridlab, University of Montreal
The aim of this workshop is to introduce the participants to the co-design approach using a Social VR system. The Hyve-3D affords simultaneous multi-user co-design (local and remote) using 3D sketches and imported 3D textured geometries, photogrammetry models and point-clouds. Participants will be trained to use the suitable representational ecosystem, the verbal protocols specific for co-design and to knowledge construction activities (KCA).
The goal of this workshop is to initiate participants coming from different backgrounds to the approach of co-design in a multidisciplinary and collaborative context. The idea is to prepare the participants to actively support co-design activities through the appropriate Representational Ecosystem (Dorta et al. 2016; Dorta et al. 2014) including traditional tools as physical models and freehand sketches combined to digital hybrid immersive techniques via Hyve-3D (Hybrid Virtual Environment 3D). The workshop will utilize the "Knowledge Construction Activities" (KCAs) model to assess the representation's effectiveness for early ideation processes (Sopher et al., 2017). During the workshop, all the participants of the given project will use the Design Conversations technique (Dorta et al. 2011): the verbal protocols of this particular kind of collaborative design. This will allow them to gain awareness of the emergence of collective creative ideas, therefore learning the co-creative steps underlying better performance of the co-design process. Participants will engage collaboratively to propose creative and innovative solutions. These ad-hoc projects will be realized in immersion, locally and remotely, through interconnected Hyve-3D systems (internationally). The participants will experience the way design decisions emerge and evolve upon and throughout different representations, while able to methodically construct and analyse outcoming situated design flows. The workshop's final outcomes will be available for presentation with the goal to further discuss during the conference. Hyve-3D is a multiuser Social VR system allowing 3D sketch creation and high interactive fidelity with 3D models inside a hybrid immersive virtual environment (Dorta, et al. 2016; 2015; 2014). The innovative visualization technique uses a non-intrusive anamorphic image projected on a spherical concave screen. This open fabric screen permits enough space in order to accept many people at once ensuring the needed communication among users. In addition, the 3D cursor technology of Hyve-3D facilitates local and remote collaboration. Using a handheld tablet, users interact with the virtual environment by moving the device and using well-known multi-touch gestures. Every user has a dedicated 3D cursor, enabling for an intuitive navigation of the virtual environment via the 3D track pad. Users will be able to go back and forth from the vectors (.dxf) of their 3D sketches to the CAD software of their choice, detailing their projects and importing them back into Hyve-3D (wavefront .obj textures files) for further co-design work. Number of participants: min. 4, max. 15 Envisioned outcome: Several interactive VR projects co-designed directly in immersion (life-sized and real time) by the participants (locally and remotely-internationaly), including 3D sketches, 3D models and photogrammetric models of the context of the projects (a location in Lodz to be decided). Prerequisite skills and knowledge of participants: No particular skills or experience in design are essential as the proposed activity aims to foster the potential of a more open ideation process shared collaboratively by different multidisciplinary stakeholders engaged in actual projects using a representational ecosystem. Required Infrastructure of the participants: Participants are encouraged to bring their personal laptops with any 3D modeller software of choice pre-installed, which can export .obj files (including the material file .mtl) and import .dxf files. Detailed programme: Day 1 9:00 - 13:00 1. Co-design rationale sessions in groups (up to 4 groups of 2-3 participants) learning about the representational ecosystem with traditional tools, the design conversations and the KCA assessment model. 14:00 - 18:30 2. Hyve-3D: Introduction and training sessions. Co-design in immersion. Day 2 9:00 – 13:00 1. Hyve-3D: International remote co-design. 2.Refinement of concepts in CAD/photogrammetric models and export/import into Hyve-3D for iterative co-design cycles. 14:00 – 18:30 3. Interconnection with Montreal collaborators/jury for final revisions and open-access presentations. Workshop Presenters Tomás Dorta Tomás Dorta has a background as a practitioner architect and designer. His research interests include the design process and co-design using new technologies and the development of new techniques and devices of design in the virtual realm. He obtained his Ph.D. (2001), studying the impact of virtual reality as a visualization tool into the design process. His research has been extensively funded by Canadian's federal and provincial research grant institutes and published and presented in several international scientific conferences as well as scientific journals. As a design educator, Tomás Dorta joined the School of Design of University of Montreal in 2003 where he is now full professor. Tomás Dorta is the director of the Design research laboratory Hybridlab. Hadas Sopher Hadas is a PhD candidate at the faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, Technion, Israel, under the supervision of Yehuda E. Kalay. Hadas's research proposes a framework to assess the impact of traditional and immersive learning environments on design processes of the architectural Studio. Hadas won the Guthweirth fellowship (2016) and the Jacobs fellowship (2017). The research is kindly supported by the European Research Council grant (FP7 ADG 340753). Emmanuel Beaudry-Marchand Emmanuel is currently a master’s student in the Design and Complexity program at the University of Montreal and is working under the direction of Tomás Dorta at Hybridlab. Emmanuel’s research focuses on immersive virtual environments and the perception of architectural scenes transposed using accessible digital technologies for a contextualized ideation. Coming from a background in graphic design, his projects are driven by a deep interest for the implications of novel forms of mediatic documentation.

W-0.5 - CANCELLED ~~Urban Environmental Optimization / Optimization of Lodz Built Environment towards Climate Change Adaptation~~ Two days workshop Date: 17^th - 18^th September 2018 Location: To be announced
W-0.6 Beyond Genetic Algorithms / Understanding Simulation-based Optimization Two days workshop Date: 17^th - 18^th September 2018 Location: TUL Institute of Physics / Floor 03 / Room 3.03a
Thomas Wortmann	Singapore University of Technology and Design
The workshop introduces single- and multi-objective, simulation-based (i.e., black-box) optimization algorithms in terms of their optimization strategies and performance. Using Grasshopper, we will experiment on example problems, as well as problems from your design and research practices (“Bring-Your-Own-Optimization-Problem”), with metaheuristic, direct search, and model-based methods. Together, we will gather benchmark results for these problems.
The increasing prevalence of parametric design and performance simulations in computational design and research practices increases the relevance of simulation-based optimization. Simulation-based optimization not only offers a potential for automating the search for high-performing design candidates, but also a potential for better understanding design spaces, and thus design problems, in terms of quantitative performance. But a sometimes-unreflective reliance on genetic algorithms to the exclusion of other, potentially more efficient and insightful, optimization methods has limited these potentials. This workshop introduces single- and multi-objective, simulation-based (i.e., black-box) optimization algorithms in Grasshopper in terms of their optimization strategies and performance, including but not limited to the Galapagos GA. The workshop introduces optimization algorithms from three major categories: metaheuristics, direct search, and model-based methods. Metaheuristics include popular populational stochastic algorithms such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization, direct search tends to be iterative and more deterministic. Model-based methods utilize (surrogate) models of a problem’s underlying fitness landscape, which they continuously update during the optimization process. In other words, model-based methods harness machine-learning related methods to hasten optimization processes. Using Grasshopper, Participants can experiment with algorithms from these categories on example problems, as well as problems from their own design and research practices (“Bring-Your-Own-Optimization-Problem”). The workshop provides methods and tools for comparing the performance of optimization algorithms on these problems. The workshop aims to gather examples of simulation-based optimization problems from architectural design and research, as well as benchmark results of different algorithms on these problems. In addition, the workshop introduces a novel, performance-informed design tool in Grasshopper that not only allows model-based optimization, but also interactively visualizes an (approximation of) the fitness landscape, which allows insights into problem characteristics, real-time feedback, and interactive, performance-informed design space exploration. Number of participants: min. 5, max. 10 Envisioned outcome: Example Optimization Problems and Benchmark Results Prerequisite skills and knowledge of participants: Intermediate Grasshopper Skills Required Infrastructure of the participants: Laptop with Rhino and Grasshopper for Windows (ideally with simulation-plug ins such as Diva, Honeybee, Karamba, etc.) Detailed programme: Day 1 9:00 -13:00: Introduction to Black-Box Optimization Setting-up of Optimization Problems 14:00 – 18:30: Introduction to Benchmarking Benchmarking of Optimization Problems Day 2 9:00 -13:00: Introduction to Performance-Informed Design Continued Benchmarking of Optimization Problems 14:00 – 18:30: Analysis of Benchmark Results Workshop Presenters Thomas Wortmann Thomas Wortmann is a PhD candidate and studio instructor in SUTD’s Architecture and Sustainable Design pillar and a researcher at the Advanced Architecture Laboratory.

This workshop will introduce the use of FlexiMold, an adaptable formwork device, for fabricating custom double-curved surfaces. The participants will have the opportunity to experience the entire workflow from the design to the production of a spatial object which has a complex form. The object will be composed of separate faces each of which will be designed and fabricated by a participant.
We will provide the participants with a parametric model. They will work on this model to design a surface and to derive the information which is needed to fabricate this surface. Then, we will introduce the use of the FlexiMold and the materials to be used for the fabrication. The participants will fabricate their designs themselves by using the information derived from the parametric model. Eventually, we will assemble the surfaces and complete the object. This is a hands-on workshop which will end with a physical output. Therefore, it is only for people who like to get their hands dirty. The participants will work on computers during the first half of the first workshop day to design appropriate forms. In the second half of the first day, they will be introduced to the adaptable form-work system and learn how to use it to cast the material for fabricating their designs. In the second day, the participants will work together to fabricate their designs. We plan to exhibit the completed object during the conference. Number of participants: min. 4, max. 10 Envisioned outcome: A spatial object which consists of double curved surfaces to be exhibited during the conference. Prerequisite skills and knowledge of participants: Basic knowledge in parametric modelling is useful. Also, basic knowledge in building things (such as how to use the tools) is needed.

W-0.9 CDHW - Lodz / Contextualized Digital Heritage Workshop - Lodz Two days workshop Date: 17^th - 18^th September 2018 Location: TUL Institute of Physics / Floor 03 / Room 3.03b
Danilo Di Mascio Bartosz Walczak	University of Huddersfield, UK Lodz University of Technology
One of the main points that characterizes built heritage compared to contemporary constructions is the strong connection with a specific physical and cultural context. For this reason, the main idea that underlies this workshop is linked with a contextualized practical exercise (Di Mascio et al 2016). This workshop continues the paths started by two successful workshops held during the previous eCAADe (Oulu, Finland) and CAADRIA conferences (Suzhou, China). The event will be split into two days.
Built heritage represents a precious material and cultural resource to be studied and preserved for present and future generations. However, despite its recognized importance, it is increasingly at risk from: conflicts, pollution, lack of maintenance and consequent abandonment. Advances in digital technologies open up alternative and new possibilities in the documentation, study, analysis, communication and dissemination of tangible and intangible features of built heritage. Lodz is a city with a rich industrial history, for this reason, the workshop will focus on its industrial heritage. The workshop will provide a variety of activities: on-site visits, demonstrations, plenary sessions, breakout discussions and practical exercises. Hence, the whole event will balance theoretical discussions and hands-on activities. This workshop aims to create a space to allow scholars to discuss, share and apply their skills and knowledge in a digital heritage experiment contextualized in Lodz. An industrial heritage site in Lodz will be selected as a case study. Participants will be asked to test and speculate on the main point: how (and which) digital technologies can support the documentation, analysis and dissemination (in particular for touristic purposes) of information of the selected industrial heritage site that has strong historical and cultural values. It is planned to involve the latest tools and technologies during the workshop. During the first day, the selected heritage site will be presented with the support of a member of the local organizing committee. An archaeological researcher will also be invited to provide further information about the rich history of the place. After the presentations, there will be an on-site visit to have a direct experience of the historical site and collect information (such as notes, sketches, pictures, videos) useful for the practical exercises. During the afternoon and the morning of the day after, there will be demonstrations of digital technologies, on-site and in the workshop venue. The demonstrations will be accompanied by short practical exercises that will engage the participants. During the second day, participants will work in groups to elaborate their speculations using their specific knowledge and approaches. During the rest of the day, participants will present their ideas and receive feedback and questions from other scholars. A final discussion led by the workshop organizers will attempt to synthesize the key points touched during the event and to identify themes and issues for future research and collaboration, and to develop concrete actions to progress future work in this area (e.g. developing networks, future workshops). The outcomes will be presented on the last day of the conference.. Number of participants: min. 5, max. 20 Envisioned outcome: Prerequisite skills and knowledge of participants: Everyone (students included) whose research or study area is focused on Digital Heritage is welcome to participate. Required Infrastructure of the participants: A laptop to support the practical exercise with specific software installed. We will provide further information later on.

W-1.2 AI & Generative Design / Application of Artificial Intelligence in Architectural Generative Design One & half day workshop Date: 17^th + 18^th September 2018 (Morning Session - 0900 : 1300 hrs) Location: TUL Institute of Physics / Floor 01 / Room 1.12
Morteza Rahbar	ETH Zurich
In this workshop, we will focus on artificial intelligence models and how they are used in the field of generative design. We will talk about different models and we will run one of the main streams of AI in python. The participants will learn how to generate synthetic data similar to real data.
In this workshop we will focus on artificial intelligence models and how they are used in the field of generative design. Some of the influential researches will be discussed and particularly GANs will be discussed in detail. GAN stands for generative adversarial networks and it has been introduced by Ian Goodfellow in 2014. Since then other researchers have worked on GANs ad they have introduced new branches on GAN which are used in generative design. In this workshop we will work on GAN codes and the participant will learn how to use GAN for architectural generative design. The algorithm of GAN will be descried in detail and it will be coded in Python. Basically GANs are used to generate synthesized data. The models in the GANs are trained on an available dataset. In this workshop we will work on architectural plans and we will see how we could train a GAN model based on available architectural plans and finally predict the probability of space allocation on a new architectural boundary. On another experience we will work on another GAN model which the user draws the basic outline of the architectural plan and the GAN model generates the most probable plan.. Number of participants: min. 5, max. 20 Envisioned outcome: Synthesized generated architectural heat map plans Prerequisite skills and knowledge of participants: None Required Infrastructure of the participants: Laptop, Python installed, Tensorflow installed on Python Detailed programme: On the first 4.5 hour we will discuss the models in artificial intelligence and specifically the most recent developments. Specifically, we will focus on deep learning models that relate to architectural generative design. In this session we will also focus on the architecture of deep learning algorithms and how they work. On the second 4.5 hour we will discuss GANs and on our first experience we will work on training a model based on our architectural plans dataset. Definitely the training takes a long time so I will prepare a pre trained model for the workshop but I will teach how to train the model and the participants could do this at their own free time. On this workshop we will experience how the GAN model could generate a heap map representing the probability of space allocation on a given boundary. On the third 4.5 hour we will experience interactive GAN model which could help the users design their desired plan boundary and the model generates the most possible plan.

How to survive in Lodz/Poland

Łódź (Lodz), the former textile industry empire, today is a city of modern technologies, creative enterprises and grand events. It is a metropolis where a landscape of industrial architecture mixes with silhouettes of office buildings, production halls, culture and sports buildings. A small settlement, that in 1423 was granted civic rights, was thriving at the beginning of the 19th century. Lodz became one of the Europe`s biggest and fastest growing textile industry centre. At that time, a new identity of the city - a promised land and a city of many cultures developed. In Lodz people of different nationalities and religions shared the same dream of a success. Despite the differences they were able to build the city together. Lodz gave world many great people such as composer and pianist Arthur Rubinstein and Alexandre Tansman, a star architect Daniel Libeskind and Jacob Bronowski, a famous mathematician and historian of science.

Highlights:

Manufaktura is an amazing showpiece of Lodz - it is the place with a rich history, which entered the 21st century with great impetus. This is an excellent example of the 19th century industrial architecture re-use with numerous shops, restaurants and an award-winning hotel.

EC1 One of important buildings of the New Centre of Lodz in terms of its architectural form is the EC1 Lodz Power Plant Complex. The power plant commenced generating and transferring power in 1907. It served as the main heat and power plant for the residents of Łódź until 2000. The revitalised and expanded EC1 East complex will now fulfil cultural, artistic and social functions.

The Museum of Art in Lodz is the second oldest permanent collection of Modern Art in the World. This is one of the most valuable exhibitions of this kind in Europe. The permanent exhibition is a “work in progress”, constantly subject to alterations, rearranged by invited curators and artists themselves.

The Film School in Lodz is famous for its professors and students including: Zbigniew Rybczynski (Oscar 1982), Roman Polanski (Oscar 2002; Palme d’Or 2002), Krzysztof Zanussi (Golden Lion 1984), Krzysztof Kieslowski (The European Film Award 1988; Golden Lion 1993), Andrzej Wajda (Oscar 2000; Palme d’Or 1981).

Central Museum of Textiles is one of the oldest cotton mills in Europe converted into a major industrial museum and the collection of textile art (Museum is the seat of the renown International Triennial of Textiles). Part of the complex is the Open-air Museum of the Lodz Wooden Architecture.
