Computational Design: Developing and Applying Computational Tools for Architectural Design

Lo, Will Wai Ching 17 March 2014 (has links)
This thesis explores the intersection between computation and architectural design. The thesis first develops several computational design tools, specifically focussing on three problem domains: (1) speedy generation and modification of architectural schemes sharing a common typological language, (2) analysis of urban and neighbourhood conditions, and (3) performance modelling and prediction
. To test the tools, the thesis subsequently applies the tools to design several variations of a condominium tower in downtown Toronto. Despite some limitations, the computational toolkit proved powerful and flexible enough to generate viable condominium schemes under various sets of assumptions.

Avaliação de desempenho ambiental e arquitetura paramétrica generativa para o projeto do edifício alto / Environmental performance assessment and parametric and generative architecture of the tall building design

Umakoshi, Erica Mitie 28 April 2014 (has links)
A pesquisa parte-se da hipótese de que critérios quantitativos e qualitativos de desempenho ambiental são definidores da expressão formal da arquitetura paramétrica do edifício alto. Pretende-se comprová-la com a criação e a aplicação de um método de projeto arquitetônico que relacione avaliação paramétrica de desempenho ambiental e a geração da forma. Essa hipótese surgiu da utilização sem critérios claros e precisos de desempenho ambiental na geração das formas dos edifícios altos, e vem de encontro ao conceito contemporâneo de conforto, da adaptação, das respostas específicas. O objetivo geral do trabalho é propor uma metodologia de projeto arquitetônico que relacione avaliação paramétrica de desempenho ambiental com critérios qualitativos e quantitativos e a geração da forma. Ou seja, compreender como os critérios de desempenho ambiental podem informar a geração da forma utilizando para isso, ferramentas paramétricas como no caso do Rhinoceros e o seu plug-in Grasshopper. A pesquisa apresenta os edifícios ícones de desempenho ambiental, discutindo os parâmetros de projeto, o desempenho real e as novas questões do conforto adaptativo. Além disso, são apresentados os critérios de desempenho utilizados para informar a metodologia de projeto paramétrico de geração da forma. Discute-se o papel da ventilação natural e das áreas envidraçadas no projeto do edifício alto. A questão do projeto paramétrico e generativo é introduzida, apresentando-se os principais conceitos, as tecnologias, os processos e as ferramentas. Por fim, o método resulta em um conjunto de diretrizes de projeto e critérios de desempenho, desenvolvidos para a formulação dessa proposta de avaliação, podendo ser visualizado, no final, em um modelo teórico do edifício alto para a cidade de São Paulo. Os produtos da tese foram: (I) critérios qualitativos e quantitativos de desempenho ambiental do edifício alto, (II) metodologia de projeto paramétrico informada por critérios ambientais, (III) solução projetual para edifícios de escritórios que utilizem ventilação e iluminação natural como estratégia principal para atingir o conforto dos usuários e reduzir o consumo de energia. / The research starts from the hypothesis that quantitative and qualitative criteria for the environmental performance are defining the formal expression of parametric architecture of tall building. We intend to prove it with the creation and implementation of a method for architectural design that relates parametric evaluation of environmental performance and the generation of form. This hypothesis arose from the use without clear and precise criteria of the environmental performance in form generating of tal buildings, and comes against the contemporary concept of comfort, the adaptation of specific responses. The general objective of this work is to propose an architectural design methodology that relates parametric evaluation of environmental performance with qualitative and quantitative criteria and the generation of form. Understand how environmental performance criteria can inform the generation of form using, parametric tools as the Rhinoceros and its plug-in Grasshopper. The research presents icons of environmental performance buildings, discussing the design parameters, real performance and new issues of adaptive comfort. Moreover, the performance criteria used to inform the methodology of parametric design generation are presented. It discusses the role of natural ventilation and glazed areas in the design of tal building. The issue of parametric and generative design is introduced, presenting key concepts, technologies, processes and tools. Finally, the method results in a set of design guidelines and performance criteria developed to the formulation of this evaluation proposal, and could be viewed at the end, in a theoretical model of the tall building to the city of São Paulo. The products of the thesis were: (I) qualitative and quantitative criteria for environmental performance of tall building (II) parametric design methodology informed by environmental criteria, (III) design solution for office buildings using natural ventilation and daylight as the main strategy to achieve the user comfort and reduce energy consumption.

Jaroslavice – sídlo v krajině / Jaroslavice – place in the landscape

Šmejkal, Jiří January 2018 (has links)
The theme of this diploma thesis is the architectural study of the complex of the Farm of 3D Printers in Jaroslavice. The technology of 3D printing at its speed of development has far outweighed the response to its needs. It lacks a new systematically planned building typology corresponding to the requirements of farms. Farms adapt to the spaces. The main aim of the work is to introduce the possibility of turning the situation and adapting the premises to the farms. The thesis follows the urban design of the restructuring of the Jaroslavice landscape elaborated in the previous semester. The project respects established principles at microregion level in the form of emphasis on self-sufficiency, population integrity or the use of current technologies. The land is located on the southern part of Jaroslavice. There are 3 agricultural buildings located on the property, which until 2010, when a photovoltaic power plant was built, operated in conjunction with a neighboring agricultural court. After the power plant was built, the bonds were irreversibly broken. Buildings are in a very poor condition and mutual cooperation no longer works. The existing solution replaces and shows the possibility of using solar energy in a different way. Thus, the construction cartridge works with a hybrid typology where the 3D production area is combined with the maximum solar gains of the photovoltaic panels. Generative methods have been used to design dominantly either for finding a form in terms of achieving maximum solar gains or after verifying the efficiency of the structure. The proposal has several scenarios of possible development. There are four different stages of growth and the linkage of production areas. Printers are able to replicate themselves at such a rate that they can expect rapid growth. The proposal uses controlled growth methods to simulate complex development under the conditions of maximum solar radiation. Visual distraction and overheating are also solved by atypical sunsets on the exterior façade. Thin-film photovoltaic panels are used on the sun, so it is able to produce electricity besides the shield. The energy-efficient shape along with the great advantage of the layout solution, instead of the corridor disposition, is a basic cell on the central plan view. This makes it possible to control and operate more of the machines more efficiently. The production site forwards counts full robot automation.
