This paper extends our previous research on using memorable spaces displayed in virtual reality (VR) for learning while utilizing various memory techniques such as Method of Loci (MoL). For this method we need to identify design guidelines for an easily memorable space which provides enough opportunities to create mnemonic devices in order to make the method efficient. Therefore, we explored various design principles of memorable space and experimentally tested them with users to find patterns and verify their validity. Experiments focused on exploring composition, atmosphere and affordance of the space. Users were placing mnemonic devices in the VR environment and we observed and measured their behavior and usage of the given space. From gathered data we defined several design principles which were either predicted or discovered during the testing. We summarized our findings and outlined guidelines for designing memorable spaces and further research. Furthermore, data from the memory testing once again indicate efficiency of the method and ability of the users to memorize a long list of consecutive numbers.

The contemporary landscape of construction 3D printing of materials like clay or concrete mainly relies on planar slicing, which, regrettably, impose constraints on the realization of overhangs and cantilevered structures, thereby limiting architectural design flexibility and posing issues in fabricating intricate structures. In response to this challenge, we investigate the integration of non-planar slicing in the construction printing of structures featuring substantial overhangs. We present a novel approach to crafting print paths strategically, fragmenting the global overhang into discrete local segments. Additionally, we introduce self-balancing control to help the buildability within segments of the print path, elevating the stability of the freshly deposited concrete during the printing process. Our methodology redistributes a portion of the bending forces into tension forces oriented along the print path, thereby augmenting the structural integrity and buildability of intricate structures with overhangs and vaults. The efficacy of our method is demonstrated through a computational parametric model and a physical prototype. A comprehensive comparative analysis is conducted against conventional planar printing methods, encompassing metrics such as geometric accuracy, buildability, material efficiency, and print time.

The latest trends in computer graphics show that developers, in pursuit of the perfect image, are increasingly creating graphics that are difficult for the user to perceive. The struggle for impressive graphics has begun to raise questions among users more and more often, as graphic characteristics are infinitely approaching the level of hyper-realism, which in turn causes the phenomenon of underrealism and broken immersion in the virtual space. In connection with this, the question arises - Is there sufficient abstraction of the virtual reality object and space that has the same effect on user immersion as graphically more complex variants? This paper is mainly divided to three parts, in first part, before proceeding to the analysis of existing research and examples from various fields of computer graphics, a few necessary terms are explained at the beginning of the article. First of all, the differences between the feeling of immersion and the present by the user in virtual reality are determined, since the level of detail of the scene has a direct impact on the user’s perception of the virtual space. The second necessary concept is the uncanny valley phenomenon. This phenomenon determines that the realism of the avatar graphics can produce a negative impression on the user. In this work, avatars are considered as components of virtual scenes; therefore, their detailing is important at the level of visualization of the surrounding spaces in virtual reality. After introducing the necessary definitions, this article will discuss and analyze examples of different types of graphics of virtual scenes, such as architectural visualization, computer game graphics and animated movies. Each of these fields and industries in its own way affect the development and perception of computer graphics by the user, so it is important to pay attention to each one of them. The last part of this paper will focus mainly on the methodology of a future experiment, which is intended to be used to complete the main objective – find the level of detail and abstraction of virtual reality objects sufficient to achieve the necessary user involvement and sense of presence in a given space. It is important to note that research of a sufficient level of detail of virtual reality objects will solve several problems at the same time: it will help the creators of games and virtual environments to use hardware more efficiently and create less demanding products that will have the same impact on users as graphically more complex variants and will be more accessible to a wider group of users.

The facility layout problem is one of the fundamental production system management problems. It has a significant impact on overall system efficiency. This paper introduces a new facility layout problem that allows for choosing from multiple variants of each facility. The need for choosing the most suitable selection from the facility variants while at the same time optimizing other layout quality indicators represents a new optimization challenge. We build on our previous work where single- and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms using indirect representation were proposed to solve the facility layout problem. Here, the evolutionary algorithms are adapted for the problem of facility variants, including the new solution representation and variation operators. Additionally, a cooling schedule, whose role is to control the exploration/exploitation ratio during the course of the optimization process, is proposed. It was inspired by the cooling schedule used in the simulated annealing technique. The extended evolutionary algorithms have been experimentally evaluated on two data sets, with and without the alternative variants of facilities. The obtained results demonstrate the capability of the extended evolutionary algorithms to solve the newly formulated facility layout problem efficiently. It also shows that the cooling schedule improves the convergence of the algorithms.

The traditional method of data preparation for 3D printing, known as planar slicing, involves slicing the 3D model into horizontal layers and printing them gradually. This is the simplest option with the main parameter being layer height. However, this method has several limitations, including poor surface finish with stair-stepping contours of layers at steep angles and a necessity to print additional support structure for overhangs. Nonplanar slicing is a newer method that involves slicing the 3D model into non-horizontal layers with varying layer heights. This technique is mostly explored in plastics, with observed improvements in buildability, surface finish and reduction of cracking alongside the layers. In construction scale, non-planar printing is used primarily for achieving unique surface finish, or for printing on an uneven base. Its potential for improving buildability is still yet to be properly tested. This paper examines how non-planar layers can be derived with a help of force flow lines and how it affects the buildability. While printing overhangs, shear force can ultimately break the interlayer bond and layers can start deforming and sliding on top of each other, resulting in buckling, or even collapse. By guiding these forces into the bulk of layers instead of interlayer bonds, printing capabilities can be improved. Goal of this paper is to present how buildability of overhangs can be improved using non-planar slicing. Non-planar layers are derived from force flow line simulations done in Karamba3D. For printing we use clay, as a fast and simple prototyping method with the aim to later utilise our findings into concrete printing.

Learning in virtual reality (VR) is always happening in a certain digital space. Inspired by memory techniques such as Method of Loci AKA Memory Palace, we propose to use a VR 3D space as a form of Memory Palace which would enhance the learning process by attaching new knowledge to spatial experience. Aim is to create multi-sensory experiences and help people to form deeper memory traces of learned topics. To achieve desired efficiency we need easily remembered space, which would help to create rich episodic memory. It is also important for the environment not to disturb and attract too much attention from the learning topic. To find this thin line, we tested memorability of VR space through experiments with 9 different environments each deferring in the level of abstraction and detail of the scenes. Subjects walked through the environment in VR and were instructed to perform various memory tasks. Results show that an environment with a middle level of abstraction and detail was easiest to remember, since it achieved a certain level of newness while being well comprehensible.

Due to their complex geometry, it is challenging to assess wind effects on the freeform, double-curved building facades. The traditional building code EN 1991-1-4 (730035) only accounts for basic shapes such as cubes, spheres, and cylinders. Moreover, even though wind tunnel measurements are considered to be more precise than other methods, they are still limited by the number of measurement points that can be taken. This limitation, combined with the time and resources required for the analysis, can limit the ability to fully capture detailed wind effects on the whole complex freeform shape of the building. In this study, we propose the use of neural network models trained to predict wind pressure on complex double-curved facades. The neural network is a powerful data- driven machine learning technique that can, in theory, learn an approximation of any function from data, making it well-suited for this application. Our approach was empirically evaluated using a set of 31 points measured in the wind tunnel on a 3D printed model in 1:300 scale of the real architectural design of a concert hall in Ostrava. The results of this evaluation demonstrate the effectiveness of our neural network method in estimating wind pressures on complex freeform facades.

This review paper summarises the current state of digital simulation methods used to analyse human behaviour in physical environments. It aims to identify why digital simulations of human behaviour are not yet commonly used by architects and urban planners and to provide a systematic review of available methods, software tools, their capabilities and limitations. It covers physical models, Space Syntax, virtual reality and dynamic simulation methods for pedestrian and occupant models. There are a number of most common decision-making processes for pedestrian and occupant models. Rule-based process involves predetermined rules or heuristics. Markov Chain uses probabilities and the current state to determine state transition. Goal Oriented Action Planning chains predefined activities to achieve a specified goal. In Narrative-based modelling a narrative governs agent behaviour. In Game-theoretic approach interactions are modelled as a game. Reinforcement Learning involves learning through rewards or punishments and Artificial Neural Networks learn from data and make predictions based on that learning. Although Artificial Neural Networks come with many benefits, such as high flexibility and the ability to handle uncertain and incomplete data, it is a relatively new field of research and it requires significant computational resources. Each process has its own strengths and limitations. Multiple algorithms or decision-making processes can be combined to achieve the desired simulation properties. There are multiple digital simulation software tools for pedestrian and occupant simulations. Some of them, such as SUMO, Aimsun, and MATSim, are optimised for transportation simulations but are not suitable to become auxiliary tools in the architectural design process. PathFinder is a software for simulating evacuation scenarios. Anylogic is a flexible user-friendly tool suitable for a wider range of applications. Tools like IES and CitySim are used for building performance optimisation. A game engine Unity is a suitable option for creating interactive and visually appealing models, however it requires programming knowledge. A simulation in a 3D environment is more complex and requires more computational resources, but it can bring more realistic results compared to simulations in 2D. The paper concludes with discussion about the reasons why digital simulation has yet not become a common tool in architectural practice.

Tento text zkoumá možnosti využití umělé inteligence pro interpretaci aktivit ve veřejném prostoru měst. Aplikací neuronové sítě na kamerové záznamy, které po čtyři dny snímaly aktivity na Mariánském náměstí v Praze, jsou vygenerovány trajektorie jednotlivých uživatelů prostoru. Promítnutím jejich přesné polohy do půdorysu náměstí získáváme tzv. heatmapy pohybu osob, tedy zobrazení hustoty trajektorií. Výhodou tohoto přístupu je získání velkého množství informací o pohybu v celé ploše náměstí v dlouhém časovém úseku. Oproti standardnímu zkoumání metodou zúčastněného pozorování nebo pouhým počítáním osob, které projdou přes určený práh, jsou tyto informace nezatížené osobou výzkumníka, jsou přesné a mapují prostor jako celek. Pro komplexnější obrázek o využití prostoru jsme vyvinuli sémantický anotátor – nástroj, pomocí kterého výzkumník přiřazuje na základě kamerových záznamů aktivity osob k jednotlivým trajektoriím. Větší automatizace celého procesu by umožnila provádět složitější úlohy o hledání vztahu mezi daným místem a aktivitami lidí v něm.

With the advancement of augmented and virtual reality technologies both in scale as well as accessibility, the Metaverse (Stephenson, 1992, Hughes, 2022) has emerged as a new digital space with potential for the application of architectural creativity and design. With blockchain integration, the concept of the Metaverse shows promise in creating a “decentralised” space for design and creativity with rewards for its participants. As a platform that incorporates these technological components, does the Metaverse have utility for architectural design? Is there something truly novel in what the Metaverse brings to architectural computing, and architectural design? The paper constructs a qualitative knowledge graph that can be used for the evaluation of various kinds of Metaverses in and for architectural design. We use Design Science Research methods to develop the knowledge graph and its evaluative capacity, stemming from our experience with two Metaverses, Decentraland and Cryptovoxels. The paper concludes with a discussion of knowledge and practice gaps that are evident, framing the opportunities that architects might have in the future in terms of developing Metaverse(s).

Facility layout problems, i.e., optimal placement of production units in a plant, become an inseparable part of manufacturing systems design and management. They are known to greatly impact the system performance. This paper proposes a new formulation of the facility layout problem where workstations are to be placed into a hall. Within the hall, obstacles and communications can be defined. Each workstation can have multiple handling spaces attached to its sides and oriented links can be defined between workstations. A new evolutionary-based approach to solve this facility layout problem is proposed in single-objective as well as multi-objective variant. The method is experimentally evaluated on a set of standard VLSI floorplanning benchmarks as well as on the data set created specifically for the proposed facility layout problem. Results show the method is both competitive to the state-of-the-art floorplanners on the VLSI benchmarks and produces high-quality solutions to the proposed facility layout problem.

The goal of this research is to raise the interest of architects in the structural behaviour of the design in its conceptual phase. Therefore, this research deals with the development of a middleware - a bridging tool between the finite element (FE) solver (OOFEM) and the architectural modeller (Rhino3D), which will provide architects with an interactive FE analysis directly in the architectural modeller. However, architects are not typically trained to use expert FE analysis software directly. FE analysis is too complex and professional for users without the required structural knowledge. Thus, there is a problem with the correct modelling and interpretation of analytical results. Therefore, it is important to deal with the methods of FE analysis simplification for conceptual structural design, which will make FE analysis more accessible to architects. In this research, three methods of possible FE analysis simplification were developed. The first one - The rating system, evaluates the design as a whole with two scalar values, and thus informs architects about structural efficiency and identifies potential structural problems. Then, to uncover the identified structural problem in more detail, the second method - Levelling system, defines three levels of results simplification. This enables architects to extend their structural knowledge and understand the problems. The last method - The design tracker, allows architects to store and compare design alternatives created during the design process. Comparison of alternatives supports architects' decision-making and allows them to understand the impact of the change made in the design on its structural behaviour. The results of this research can be used to teach architects at universities as well as in practice for interdisciplinary cooperation between architects and structural engineers, especially in the conceptual design phase.

This research aims to provide architects with an interactive Finite Element (FE) analysis during the conceptual design phase through the development of a "middle-ware", a bridging tool between an FE solver and the architectural modelling environment. Architects are typically not trained to use expert FE analysis software directly. Therefore, simplified FE modelling, as well as concise presentation and interpretation of analysis results would be beneficial in early stages of the design process. Simplified result interpretation should help architects to identify structural problems and guide them towards structurally improved designs. This will allow them to not just independently evaluate a theoretically unlimited number of design alternatives, but also to find better structural solutions. To develop a means of simplified structural evaluation, a review was carried out of existing form finding, evolutionary structural optimization and other optimization methods and tools. The resulting Structural Evaluation Assistant (SEA) method, which uses the Von Mises criterion, informs architects about different levels of structural efficiency and feasibility. This paper shows how the SEA supports FE analysis result interpretation and the architect’s decision making during design process. It does so by generating a score for the whole structure, and visualizing all structural design alternatives in order to compare them during the design process. Compared to other FE-based tools, a strong emphasis is placed on the visualization and interpretation of the results. The developed evaluation assistant supports the architects' decision making and improves their structural intuition during the design process.

This paper presents a methodology and software tools for parametric design of complex architectural objects, called digital or algorithmic forms. In order to provide a flexible tool, the proposed design philosophy involves two open source utilities DONKEY and MIDAS written in Grasshopper algorithm editor and C++, respectively, that are to be linked with a scripting-based architectural modellers Rhinoceros, IntelliCAD and the open source Finite Element solver OOFEM. The emphasis is put on the structural response in order to provide architects with a consistent learning framework and an insight into structural behaviour of designed objects. As demonstrated on three case studies, the proposed modular solution is capable of handling objects of considerable structural complexity, thereby accelerating the process of finding procedural design parameters from orders of weeks to days or hours.

The main purpose of this research is to introduce and verify selected advanced computational methodologies operating with agent-oriented approach that are applicable within the framework of emergent urban design strategies in early stages of zoning proceedings. The aim is to demonstrate that speculative matter of the phenomenon of emergence in terms of design thought driven by computational models can also be applicable within real existing urban conditions. The research concurs previous researches in the field of urban pre-reconfigurations in the selected city environments. It concentrates on developing a simulation model as an analytical and generative instrumental platform for architects in early phases of urban design and synthetizes accumulated computational advancements based on agent-oriented approach.

This paper describes the process of geometric optimization and introduces a design workflow of a structure that portrays fluid motion, composed of many small spheres. It presents several possible approaches on how to organize a complex wave form to optimize its structure for robotic fabrication. The first method was based on a dynamic principle of self-organizing particles, using simulated magnetic attraction and repulsion. The second applied method used a growth algorithm to generate a structure which could be used as an uneven grid in which the original particles could be arranged. The third method, which universally negated the uneven arrangement of particles, was the arrangement of the particles into an even grid. This paper also deals with structural analysis and load-bearing capacity optimization of this structure.

In order to support an architect’s decision to evaluate and choose more efficient structural solutions in the concept design, it is necessary to establish an interactive feedback loop between structural solver and geometry modeller which would allow one to analyse a great number of solutions generated in the scripting design process. Defining a cross-disciplinary data structure as an analytical model, the communication between existing structural solver (OOFEM) and geometry modeller (Grasshopper) was established. Automation of the entire analysis process was done by the bridging tools MIDAS and Donkey, which have been developed. This paper presents the method of creation of an analytical model by Donkey, and deals with how to visualize, interpret and use the result values from the structural analysis.

In this paper we describe the pedagogical and methodological approach to a parametric project and workshop for the design of a tower which consists of 150000 PET bottles. The ultimate goal of the project is to actually realize the PET bottle tower; therefore the constraints on the projects are very strict. Additionally, because of the large number of bottles to be used in the design, the problem lends itself well to a parametric approach.

This paper presents Architectural software Tool for Structural Analysis (ATSA) which is designed as a software bridge between architectural and structural software programmes. It has been developed at university in cooperation with architects and structural engineers, intended to make their interdisciplinary cooperation more efficient. ATSA is aimed to provide structural analysis of drafts created by an architetct in the early stages of design in order to enable the architect to understand the mechanical responses of the structure to loading, and thus optimise it creatively through an intuitive form-finding process.

This paper presents Donkey which is an interactive structural analysis software tool developed for generative architectural design. It has been developed at university in cooperation with architects and structural engineers, intended to make their interdisciplinary cooperation more efficient. Donkey provides simpler and sophisticated interpretation of structural analysis results. In the early stages of design, this helps architect to better understand the mechanical responses of the designed structure to loading.

Článek prezentuje pilotní výsledky nově budované metodiky a programových nástrojů pro parametrický návrh tvarově složitých konstrukcí. Místo vývoje monolitického softwarového řešení je důraz kladen na propojení architektonických a statických programů, které nabízejí dostatečné možnosti rozšíření, a to díky otevřenosti zdrojového kódu a/nebo skriptování. Výsledky tří studií, získaných pomocí modeláře Rhinoceros(R) a programu OOFEM, prokazují, že navrhovaná metodika a vyvinuté programové prostředky umožňují dosáhnout větší flexibility a rychlosti při architektonickém návrhu, a tím i atraktivnějších a odvážnějších konstrukcí.
