Gamification of Generative Design

Sat, 06 Feb 2021 16:49:47 +0000

Background and aim:

Participatory design is a necessity especially when multiple stakeholders are to be involved in design and operation of a building. Gamification of design into a combinatorial configuration process provides an interactive medium for stakeholders to be included in decision-making, explore the vast possibilities of modular systems, and easily co-create valid designs.

Research question:

How to formalize architectural design process as a participatory game?

Design objective:

To design and prototype toolsets and tile-sets for combinatorial design games aimed at modular assemblies.

Methods:

Geometric Design and Tessellation
Computational Topology & Geometry (optionally in Python)
Gamification
Ergonomics
Participatory Architectural Design

Generative Solar-Climatic Configuration

Sat, 06 Feb 2021 16:49:47 +0000

Background and aim:

Early design decisions have great influence on final energy performance and comfort of buildings. Proper consideration of such influences requires using simulation engines. The existing simulation methods can be too data demanding and slow for early stage computational design explorations (e.g. in optimization loops or form-finding). The aim of this project is to devise and prototype fast and design-friendly simulation methods for generative design of optimal envelopes.

Research question:

How to adapt and develop direct sunlight and view-shed simulation methods for generation of optimal envelopes?

Design objective:

To design and prototype a suite of generative methods for fair and optimal provision of solar irradiation, radiative cooling potential and view shed.

Methods:

Spatial Computing (Computational Geometry & Linear Algebra)
Physical Analysis of Light and Principles of Naturally Lit Design
Computer Programming (Python or C#)

Participatory Design in Digital Twins

Sat, 06 Feb 2021 16:49:47 +0000

Background and aim:

The decisions made on the spatial configurations and distributions in the built environments (urban or rural developments) directly influences the life of multiple stakeholders. The aim of the project is to provide mechanisms for involving different stakeholders in the spatial decision making process and facilitating their negotiations through Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS).

Research question:

How to make digital twins for participatory spatial decision making?

Design objective:

To design and prototype a Multi-Actor and Multi-Criteria Spatial Decision Support System.

Methods:

geo-spatial computing (geo-informatics)

geo-spatial analysis (spatial queries)

geo-spatial Database Management Systems (DBMS)

Computer Programming (Python/C#)
