Preprint
Full-text available
Diverse and realistic floor plan data are essential for the development of useful computer-aided methods in architectural design. Today's large-scale floor plan datasets predominantly feature simple floor plan layouts, typically representing single-apartment dwellings only. To compensate for the mismatch between current datasets and the real world,...
Book
Full-text available
This AIAAF 2023 Symposium report provides an overview of the one-day conference held in May 2023 in Berlin. It focuses on the latest topics in AI as they relate to the fields of Architecture and Architectural Fabrication.
Chapter
This paper presents a strategy to help designers confronted with a massive flow of new technologies, exhaustive regulations, and design requirements. It summarises the existing proposals for AI-driven design development strategies, and lists frequent pitfalls like the focus on local optima or the lack of backpropagation. It identifies the main sour...
Article
Full-text available
This research proposes a framework for signal processing and information fusion of spatial-temporal multi-sensor data pertaining to understanding patterns of humans physiological changes in an urban environment. The framework includes signal frequency unification, signal pairing, signal filtering, signal quantification, and data labeling. Furthermo...
Chapter
The chapter describes an approach for the development of a future cognitive design computing system for urban design. The aim of this system is to enable an urban planner to treat a planning problem as an inverse problem by defining what performance a design solution should achieve and to automatically query or generate a set of best possible solut...
Chapter
Full-text available
Designing pleasant, sustainable cities is a long-term goal of urban design researchers and practitioners alike. Since changes to existing streets and buildings are hard to implement once constructed, evaluations are iteratively needed in the early design stages. However, urban designers may find it challenging to anticipate how future inhabitants p...
Technical Report
Full-text available
In this research project, we investigate the impacts of urban morphology (UM) on citizen’s social potential as a function of accessibility and perception and compare it with the impacts of UM on building energy consumption for parallel case studies in Zürich Switzerland and Weimar Germany. This is of particular interest since urban planning decisio...
Thesis
The work at hand advances a new paradigm to challenge the predominant dogma of func- tionalism in computer aided architectural design. The work introduces the concept of Structural Realism as alternative to the well established Aristotelian and Platonic methods of interpreting architectural form intrinsically. This approach is tested by presenting...
Article
Full-text available
When working on urban planning projects there are usually multiple aspects to consider. Often these aspects are contradictory and it is not possible to choose one over the other; instead, they each need to be fulfilled as well as possible. Planners typically draw on past experience when subjectively prioritising which aspects to consider with which...

Conference Paper
With this paper we present a fully automated semantic shape similarity detection based on N-rings with further potential for shape synthesis in a topological correct feature space. Therefore a way of symmetric encoding of geometry, optimized for the use as feature-vector in self-organizing maps, is introduced. Furthermore we present a modified kern...
