Timber De-Standardized is a framework that salvages irregular and regular shaped tree logs by utilizing a mixed reality (MR) interface for the design, fabrication, and assembly of a structurally viable tree log assembly. The process engages users through a dir...

Architectural Education faces limitations due to its tactile approach to learning in classrooms with only 2-D and 3-D tools. At a higher level, virtual reality provides a potential for delivering more information to individuals undergoing design learning. This...

This paper presents the form finding and structural analysis of an active bending-pantographic bamboo space structure that integrates self-stressed active bending arches, tensile pantographic grids and supporting bipods. The structure was designed to roof an o...

Ruled surfaces are widely used for architectural forms, as diverse 3D shapes can be conveniently generated by the movement of a straight ruling. There is vast potential to create a rich variety of new architectural forms by introducing curved rulings into rule...

This paper presents a novel, next-generation, cloud-native parametric and associative platform for digital knowledge, services and automation, and the rationalisation behind the development of and the need for this platform in relation to the history of comput...

This research demonstrates the development of a hybrid FRP-timber wall and slab system for multi-story structures. Bespoke computational tools and robotic fabrication processes allow for adaptive placement of material according to specific local requirements o...

At the convergence of social, political, and environmental crises and a global pandemic ACADIA2021 reflects on realigning our practices to allow for alternative and constructive ways of knowledge and world making to address these issues. Computational systems ...

With the continuous development of prestressing technology, cables have been widely used in structural engineering. A special concern in practical engineering is selecting the appropriate cable force measurement technology. This paper analyzes and introduces t...

The primary objective of the paper is to investigate the post buckled behaviour of the single-layered Kite geometry dome developed using a novel crystallographic parameterisation principle. Both triangulated and non-triangulated domes are evolved based on the ...

This paper presents research on designing distributed, robotic construction systems in which robots are taught construction behaviors relative to the elastic bending of natural building materials. Using this behavioral relationship as a driver, the robotic sys...

3D printing offers significant geometric freedom and allows the fabrication of integral parts. This research showcases how robotic fused deposition modeling (FDM) enables the prefabrication of large-scale, lightweight, and ready-to-cast freeform formwork to mi...

Augmented Reality (AR) has the potential to create a paradigm shift in the production of architecture. This paper discusses the assembly and evaluation of a bamboo prototype installation aided by holographic instructions. The case study is situated within the ...

Active shaping and recovery are the important paths to reconfiguration and reuse of the structure, but only a few reconfiguration structures have been analyzed and explored, and their applicability also needs to be improved. Active shaping and recovery methods...

In order to analyze the buckling behavior of lattice shells stiffened by cables or slender braces without pre-tension, it is necessary to consider the no-compression property of braces. This paper proposes an innovative method of linear buckling analysis that ...

Hydraulic automatic climbing formwork equipment is widely used in super-high-rise building construction due to its advantages of simple operation, fast construction speed, low cost, and high automation. Quantitative calculation of the mechanical state of climb...
