Conceptual architectural design is a complex process that draws on past experience and
creativity to generate new designs. The application of artificial intelligence to this process …

Architecture has always embraced innovative ideas, materials, and techniques.
Contemporary architecture is no exception. The emerging computation-based design …

This paper discusses parametric design systems as a generative tool in architectural design.
Parametric tools are algorithmically based, and therefore offer increased computational …

This study reports on developing an innovative approach for the parametric analysis of
daylighting and visual comfort, through a sun responsive shading system. The objective is …

This book provides in-depth results and case studies in innovation from actual work
undertaken in collaboration with industry partners in Architecture, Engineering, and …

The transformation of architectural design practices has been underway for almost forty
years, given the development and democratization of computer technology. Since then …

Rapid deduction based on environmental data has become a key factor influencing the early
stages of conceptual design decisions. Traditional wind tunnels and CFD computational …

There has been an increasing awareness in recent years about the evaluation of daylight
and glare quality in buildings. In the study, an office space with a flat and a dynamic shading …

This paper is an invitation to an interdisciplinary dialogue on new possibilities for integrating
robotics, design, and nature. I ask: how can new cross-movements between bio-inspired …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to find optimal solutions for conceptual design
