Theme
CAADence in Architecture
Back to command
The aim of these workshops and conference is to help transfer and spread newly ap-
pearing design technologies, educational methods and digital modelling supported by
information technology in architecture. By organizing a workshop with a conference,
we would like to close the distance between practice and theory.
Architects who keep up with the new design demanded by the building industry will
remain at the forefront of the design process in our IT-based world. Being familiar with
the tools available for simulations and early phase models will enable architects to
lead the process. We can get “back to command”.
Our slogan “Back to Command” contains another message. In the expanding world of
IT applications, one must be able to change preliminary models readily by using dif-
ferent parameters and scripts. These approaches bring back the feeling of command-
oriented systems, although with much greater effectiveness.
Why CAADence in architecture?
“The cadence is perhaps one of the most unusual elements of classical music, an indis-
pensable addition to an orchestra-accompanied concerto that, though ubiquitous, can
take a wide variety of forms. By definition, a cadence is a solo that precedes a closing
formula, in which the soloist plays a series of personally selected or invented musical
phrases, interspersed with previously played themes – in short, a free ground for vir-
tuosic improvisation.”
Nowadays sophisticated CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) applications
might operate in the hand of architects like instruments in the hand of musicians. We
have used the word association cadence/caadence as a sort of word play to make this
event even more memorable.

Connecting Online-Configurators (Including 3D Represen-
tations) with CAD-Systems
Small Scale Solutions for SMEs in the Design-Product and
Building Sector

Abstract: As small and medium enterprises, such as craftsmen in the building
sector, are often unable to invest in larger scale software solutions, full-blown on-
line product configurators with embedded real-time 3D rendering appeared to
have been out of reach for most of them so far, because of comparatively high in-
vestments; considering programming and launch as well as maintenance, espe-
cially regarding the necessary eort to ensure smooth front-end availability and
performance. This paper discusses the possibilities to develop and implement
online-configurators with 3D representations as small scale solution for SMEs
in the design-product and building sector. In this context an exemplary overview
is presented and discussed; starting with the parametric design of the product
in Rhino/Grasshopper, moving on to the translation of its geometry into webGL
embedded in a JavaScript/PHP-combination for 3D representation in a simple
online-configurator and then importing customer-chosen values for the definition
of product-instances back into the Rhino/Grasshopper CAD environment, with
the aim of semi-automatically creating production data for the CNC-milling of
customized product-parts.
Keywords: configurators, 3D visualization, mass customization, SMEs, semi-
automated customer dialogue

INTRODUCTION
In 2013, Piller and Piroozfar have shown a variety
of concepts and approaches to use mass customi-
zation (which is spelled “mass customisation” in
the title of their publication) and the accompa-
nying tools, such as online-configurators, in the
building sector and the field of architecture [1];
there appears to be a growing trend to apply mass
customization in this area e. g. in offering furni-
ture to customers who are enabled to make final
adjustments of the product before ordering. The
configurator database of 2015, released by Paul
Blazek et. al. [2] lists comparatively few configu-
rators in this sector, considering that parametric
design as a term and technique has been around in
| CAADence in Architecture <Back to command> | Section A2 - Smart cities62
design and architecture for quite some time. One
of the reasons may be the considerable technical
effort to ensure smooth front-end availability if
3D representation is wished for [3], but generally
also budget and easy implementation in the over-
all workflow play an important role for small and
medium enterprises, and lack of one or the other
may be a serious obstacle.
1. ACCESSIBILITY OF 3D VISUALIZATION
WEBTOOLS
In recent years the accompanying online-solu-
tion to OpenGL, webGL (which is commonly used
within JavaScript frameworks) has offered a
technical environment for relatively easy-to-im-
plement interactive 3D representation. Using the
<canvas>-tag as part of HTML5, web-applications
can be programmed that allow for an interactive
3D representation of more or less complex ob-
jects. In the following example of a simple mod-
ular shelf system in an online configurator, PHP
has been used in addition to enable the user not
only to interact with the 3D representation of the
object by zooming and turning, but also by chang-
ing its parameters and thus altering its geometry
(Figure 1).
These parameters not only change the online 3D
representation, but can al so be send to the manu-
fac turer, who first and foremost need the data (al-
tered by individual specification), not necessarily
the 3D web-image. The latter usually serves, as
its main purpose, as an illustration of the changes
made by the customer to him-or herself.
2. DATAPROCESSING IN RHINO/GRASS
HOPPER
In the proposed workflow the manufacturer is
using Rhino/Grasshopper to further process the
data sent by the customer (Figure 2). Rhino is used
here since it is still a comparatively low-cost CAD
tool with a powerful selection of APIs, enabling
further manipulation. Also, it is especially suited
for parametric design tasks with a low-barrier ap-
proach via the free of charge Grasshopper plug-in
for graphical macro programming.
2.1 Importing Customer-Generated Data
Grasshopper is equipped with a special node,
which allows to import text from a .txt-file. This
means the geometry of an object constructed
within Rhino/Grasshopper may be changed with-
Figure 1:
Simple online-configu-
rator with interactive 3D
representation
Section A2 - Smart cities | CAADence in Architecture <Back to command> |63
out even touching any lever inside the Grasshop-
per UI, the 3D modell is changed just by opening
the .gh-file.
2.2 Further Customer-Dialogue
The .gh-file is the basis for visualization output
out of Rhino. It provides the 3D model as the basis
for photorealistic renderings, plan with measure-
ments and price-calculation, that can be send to
the customer as text/and or .jpg-file as part of a
(standardized) e-mail or in print.
2.3 Semi-Automated Export of the
Machine Program
An export node similar to the text import can be
used to further process the data and automatical-
ly write the program for the CNC milling machine
and/or e. g. for the output of parts lists which then
can be used in the shop or within additional soft-
ware to optimize material use.

3. PREPARING PRODUCTSPECIFIC
DATAENVIRONMENTS
3.1 Production of the Product-Specific
Grasshopper Geometry
If the manufacturer has a certain product he/she
wants to offer via an online configurator, the prod-
uct needs to be parametrically constructed once,
using the text-import node for referencing the dis-
crete and steady variables, which will be supplied
later by the customers. The production of such
a macro program in Rhino/Grasshopper can be
externalized; this software-combination is of ad-
vantage regarding the described overall workflow
scenario, since it doesn’t require deep program-
ming knowledge to produce e. g. modular and
especially orthogonal products or product parts,
that leave certain parameters up to the custom-
ers’ choice. Still, that doesn’t imply, that crafts-
men have to turn to programming. Such graphical
macro programming can be managed by students,
alumni and professionals working in the fields of
design and architecture - persons who are closer
to the products in question than professional pro-
grammers, but still (often) already equipped with
the necessary IT skills.
3.2 Production of the Product-Specific
Machine Program
During a workshop in 2013 in Cologne held by Hans
Sachs from responsive design studio [4] and his
colleague Sebastian Bächer the author learned
about their specific strategy of automatically gen-
erating text out of fixed and variable text blocks
that translated with the help of simple Visual Ba-
sic scripting into full .mpr-syntax. A .mpr-file in
turn can be used e. g. inside the software Wood-
Wop, which allows for digital communication with
the CNC milling machine in the shop. The produc-
tion auf this part of the product-specific .gh-file
requires a certain specific degree of know-how
which can be acquired in a two-day workshop, or
else this piece of the macro program can also be
punctually externalized whenever a new product
is introduced. The general aim is to reduce or
eliminate the need for shop floor programming
(SFP) [5].
4. CONCLUSION
The proposed workflow offers designers and
craftsmen/manufacturers a comparatively low-
cost solution for implementing parametric design
and online configurators in the overall strategy of
their enterprise. It shows an approach that opens
up the possibility to make parametric design and
mass customization part of the online-marketing
of SMEs in the design- and building sector with-
out the need of a high initial investment. It does
however call for a closer cooperation between
a younger generation of designers and archi-
tects with producers who run their businesses
as craftsmen on a broader scale than is usually
the case. In addition to this the task remains to
provide individually configurable semi-automatic
data processing from the CAD model to the CNC
milling machine (or other machines) for SMEs,
that are easy to implement and meet the needs of
individual enterprises [6].
4.1 Outlook on Design Education
Students in design and architecture often have the
chance to learn about parametric design (e. g. us-
ing the Rhino/Grasshopper combination); the con-
nection to mass customization however, is made
less frequently. Next steps in developing this area
in the building sector could be, on the part of de-
sign education, to regularly introduce parametric
design techniques accompanied by theory and
practical exercises directed also at mass custom-
ization strategies in design and architecture.
4.2 Outlook on the Automated Production
of Product-Specific Machine Program-
ming
The digital strategy of Hans Sachs and Sebastian
Bächer to automatically combine fixed and vari-
able text blocks including customer choices into
full .mpr-syntax within the Grasshopper macro
program could also be applied by just using PHP-
programming. The practicality of this alternative
approach needs to be tested as a next step refin-
ing the proposed workflow.

Why CAADence in architecture?
"The cadence is perhaps one of the most unusual elements of classical music, an indispensable addition
to an orchestra-accompanied concerto that, though ubiquitous, can take a wide variety of forms. By

At present, some service platforms for 3D manufacturing encounter problems, including the low level of integration with digital design ability, the single character of cooperative printings, the uneven distribution of 3D printing resources, and the high 3D design requirements of users. To overcome these issues, a cloud service platform for the seamless integration of digital design and rapid prototyping manufacturing was established using ASP.NET, WebGL, WebSocket, and SQL Server in combination with C# language and JavaScript. The goals were to realize a design and rapid prototyping of mechanical equipment parts that are browser based and provide online digital design services, such as the parametric design of key parts, downloading of models, format conversion, and virtual assembly. The client application layer, server processing layer, database layer, and working machine end application layer of this cloud 3D printing platform were set up. The result of the design module could be printed remotely in 3D. Practical application showed that the platform could effectively improve the R&D and design speed of the parts and components of the mechanical equipment and reduce the effort of designers. In particular, this platform would be suitable for users without a 3D design background. The design and rapid prototyping parts of the platform satisfied the dimensional precision required by enterprises, which provides an important basis for the further verification of the design correctness for small- and medium-sized enterprises and has high application value.

This research is concerned with digital tools as a means for semi-automized customer dialogue, reinventing as well as completing collaborative design scenarios; including product and building designers as well as marketing professionals on the one hand, and their customers on the other. These collaborative design scenarios are scrutinized in an exemplary fashion by focusing on the optimization of the proportions of products from front view. In doing so this work focuses on so-called (digital) product configurators; digital systems that allow for entering parameters on the part of users to finalize an instance of a mass customized design product, e.g. as a digital representation and/or a set of production data. Especially those product configurators are discussed that respond to customer desires concerning design and building products with recommendations of repair or perfected alternatives, based on user entries. These systems are discussed concerning their recommendation algorithms, the possibilities of their underlying overall conception and questions of implementation into business structures. Here the aesthetic aspects of Gestalt play the dominant role in the search for defining rules and constraints, crucial for collaborative design responsiveness. In the framework of generating examples of algorithms describing and depicting order-based procedures of collaborative design customer dialogues, several methods and accompanying software were developed, which are presented in the corresponding chapters of the text. These include a macro program to assist in qualitative content analysis, a program to transfer text-based grammar into graphic flow charts and a text processing tool to support first and second level categorization. The last two constitute a crucial part for a special qualitative content analysis of expert interviews allowing to identify recurring structures as well as the modular use of flow chart fragments within the last piece of software. This special method for qualitative content analysis containing the use of a grammar to transfer coded text into graphic flow chart representations has been put to use in this context for the first time and constitutes a method innovation with potential way beyond this research. The same goes for the grid analysis as a basis for a proportion analysis tool, which allows for the integration of any proportion grid as well as for setting tolerances on the part of the user.

Challenged by the recent economic crisis, the building and construction industry is currently seeking new orientation and strategies. Here mass customisation is uncovered as a key strategy in helping to meet this challenge. The term mass customisation denotes an offering that meets the demands of each individual customer, whilst still being produced with mass production efficiency. Today mass customisation is emerging from a pilot stage into a scalable and sustainable strategy… The first dedicated publication of its kind, this book provides a forum for the concept within an applied and highly innovative context. The book includes contributions from some of the most prominent thinkers and practitioners in the field from across the world, including Kasper S. Vibaek, Steve Kendall, Martin Bechthold, Mitchell M. Tseng, and Masa Noguchi. Bringing together this panel of experts who have carried out research both in academia and practice, this book provides an overview of state-of-the-art practice related to the concept of customisation and personalisation within the built environment.
