Hence, tropical reefs symbolically stand for the destructive effects of human activities on nature [4], [5]. Artificial reefs are excellent examples of how architectural design can be combined with ecosystem regeneration [6], [7], [8]. However, to work at the interface between the artificial and the complex and temporal nature of natural systems presents a challenge, i.a. in respect to the B-rep modelling legacy of computational modelling. The presented doctorate investigates strategies on how to apply digital practice to realise what is an essential bulwark to retain reefs in impossibly challenging times. Beyond the main question of integrating computational modelling and high precision monitoring strategies in artificial coral reef design, this doctorate explores techniques, methods, and linking frameworks to support future research and practice in ecology led design contexts. Considering the many existing approaches for artificial coral reefs design, one finds they often fall short in precisely understanding the relationships between architectural and ecological aspects (e.g. how a surface design and material composition can foster coral larvae settlement, or structural three-dimensionality enhance biodiversity) and lack an integrated underwater (UW) monitoring process. Such a process is necessary in order to gather knowledge about the ecosystem and make it available for design, and to learn whether artificial structures contribute to reef regeneration or rather harm the coral reef ecosystem. For the research, empirical experimental methods were applied: Algorithmic coral reef design, high precision UW monitoring, computational modelling and simulation, and validated through parallel real-world physical experimentation – two Artificial Reef Prototypes (ARPs) in Gili Trawangan, Indonesia (2012–today). Multiple discrete methods and sub techniques were developed in seventeen computational experiments and applied in a way in which many are cross valid and integrated in an overall framework that is offered as a significant contribution to the field. Other main contributions include the Ecosystem-aware design approach, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for coral reef design, algorithmic design and fabrication of Biorock cathodes, new high precision UW monitoring strategies, long-term real-world constructed experiments, new digital analysis methods and two new front-end web-based tools for reef design and monitoring reefs. The methodological framework is a finding of the research that has many technical components that were tested and combined in this way for the very first time. In summary, the thesis responds to the urgency and relevance in preserving marine species in tropical reefs during this massive extinction period by offering a differentiated approach towards artificial coral reefs – demonstrating the feasibility of digitally designing such ‘living architecture’ according to multiple context and performance parameters. It also provides an in-depth critical discussion of computational design and architecture in the context of ecosystem regeneration and Planetary Thinking. In that respect, the thesis functions as both theoretical and practical background for computational design, ecology and marine conservation – not only to foster the design of artificial coral reefs technically but also to provide essential criteria and techniques for conceiving them. Keywords: Artificial coral reefs, computational modelling, high precision underwater monitoring, ecology in design. N2 - Charakteristisch für das Zeitalter des Klimawandels sind die durch den Menschen verursachte Meeresverschmutzung sowie ein massiver Rückgang der Artenvielfalt in den Weltmeeren. Tropische Korallenriffe sind als eines der ältesten und artenreichsten Ökosysteme der Erde besonders stark gefährdet und stehen somit symbolisch für die zerstörerischen Auswirkungen menschlicher Aktivitäten auf die Natur [4], [5]. Um dem massiven Rückgang der Korallenriffe entgegenzuwirken, wurden von Menschen künstliche Riffsysteme entwickelt [6], [7]. Sie sind Beispiele dafür, wie Architektur und die Regenerierung von Ökosystemen miteinander verbunden werden können [8]. Eine Verknüpfung von einerseits künstlichen und andererseits komplexen, sich verändernden natürlichen Systemen, stellt jedoch eine Herausforderung dar, u.a. in Bezug auf die Computermodellierung (B-Rep Modellierung). Zum Erhalt der Korallenriffe werden in der vorliegende Doktorarbeit Strategien aus der digitalen Praxis neuartig auf das Entwerfen von künstlichen Korallenriffen angewendet. Die Hauptfrage befasst sich damit, wie der Entwurfsprozess von künstlichen Korallenriffen unter Einbeziehung von Computermodellierung und hochpräzisen Überwachungsstrategien optimiert werden kann. In diesem Zusammenhang werden Techniken, Methoden sowie ein übergeordnetes Framework erforscht, welche zukünftige Forschung und Praxis in Bezug auf Ökologie-geleitete Entwurfsprozesse fördern soll. In Anbetracht der vielen vorhandenen künstlichen Riffsysteme, kann man feststellen, dass die Zusammenhänge zwischen Architektur- und Ökosystem-Anforderungen nicht genau untersucht und dadurch bei der Umsetzung nicht entsprechend berücksichtigt werden. Zum Beispiel wie Oberflächenbeschaffenheit und Materialität eine Ansiedlung von Korallenlarven begünstigt oder wie eine räumlich vielseitige Struktur die Artenvielfalt verbessern kann. Zudem fehlt ein integrierter Unterwasser-Überwachungsprozess, welcher Informationen über das Ökosystem liefert und diese dem Entwurf bereitstellt. Zusätzlich ist eine Unterwasser-Überwachung notwendig, um herauszufinden, ob die künstlichen Riffstrukturen zur Regenerierung beitragen oder dem Ökosystem gänzlich schaden. In dieser Forschungsarbeit werden empirische und experimentelle Methoden angewendet: Algorithmisches Entwerfen für Korallenriffe, hochpräzise Unterwasser-Überwachung, Computermodellierung und -simulation. Die Forschung wird seit 2012 bis heute durch zwei Riffprototypen (Artificial Reef Prototypes – ARPs) in Gili Trawangan, Indonesien validiert. Zusätzlich wurden weitere separate Methoden und Techniken in insgesamt siebzehn computergestützten Experimenten entwickelt und so angewendet, dass viele kreuzvalidiert und in ein Framework integriert sind, welches dann als bedeutender Beitrag dem Forschungsgebiet zur Verfügung steht. Weitere Hauptbeiträge sind der Ökosystem-bewusste Entwurfsansatz (Ecosystem-aware design approach), Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) für das Gestalten von Korallenriffen, algorithmisches Entwerfen und die Herstellung von Biorock-Kathoden, neue hochpräzise Unterwasser-Überwachungsstrategien, reale Langzeitexperimente, neue digitale Analysemethoden, sowie zwei webbasierte Softwareanwendungen für die Gestaltung und die Überwachung von künstlichen Korallenriffen. Das methodische Framework ist das Hauptergebnis der Forschung, da die vielen technischen Komponenten in dieser Weise zum ersten Mal getestet und kombiniert wurden. Zusammenfassend reagiert die vorliegende Doktorarbeit sowohl auf die Dringlichkeit als auch auf die Relevanz der Erhaltung von Artenvielfalt in tropischen Korallenriffen in Zeiten eines massiven Aussterbens, indem sie einen differenzierten Entwurfsansatz für künstliche Korallenriffe offeriert. Die Arbeit zeigt auf, dass ein digitales Entwerfen einer solchen „lebendigen Architektur“ unter Berücksichtigung vielfältiger Anforderungen und Leistungsparametern machbar ist. Zusätzlich bietet sie eine ausführliche kritische Diskussion über die Rolle von computergestützten Entwerfen und Architektur im Zusammenhang mit Regenerierung von Ökosystemen und “Planetary Thinking”. In dieser Hinsicht fungiert die Doktorarbeit als theoretischer und praktischer Hintergrund für computergestütztes Entwerfen, Ökologie und Meeresschutz. Eine Verbesserung des Entwerfens von künstlichen Korallenriffen wird nicht nur auf technischer Ebene aufgezeigt, sondern es werden auch die wesentlichen Kriterien und Techniken für deren Umsetzung benannt.

ER - TY - THES A1 - Hollberg, Alexander T1 - A parametric method for building design optimization based on Life Cycle Assessment N2 - The building sector is responsible for a large share of human environmental impacts. Architects and planners are the key players for reducing the environmental impacts of buildings, as they define them to a large extent. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) allows for the holistic environmental analysis of a building. However, it is currently not employed to improve the environmental performance of buildings during the design process, although the potential for optimization is greatest there. One main reason is the lack of an adequate means of applying LCA in the architectural design process. As such, the main objective of this thesis is to develop a method for environmental building design optimization that is applicable in the design process. The key concept proposed in this thesis is to combine LCA with parametric design, because it proved to have a high potential for design optimization. The research approach includes the analysis of the characteristics of LCA for buildings and the architectural design stages to identify the research gap, the establishment of a requirement catalogue, the development of a method based on a digital, parametric model, and an evaluation of the method. An analysis of currently available approaches for LCA of buildings indicates that they are either holistic but very complex or simple but not holistic. Furthermore, none of them provide the opportunity for optimization in the architectural design process, which is the main research gap. The requirements derived from the analysis have been summarized in the form of a catalogue. This catalogue can be used to evaluate both existing approaches and potential methods developed in the future. In this thesis, it served as guideline for the development of the parametric method – Parametric Life Cycle Assessment (PLCA). The unique main feature of PLCA is that embodied and operational environmental impact are calculated together. In combination with the self-contained workflow of the method, this provides the basis for holistic, time-efficient environmental design optimization. The application of PLCA to three examples indicated that all established mandatory requirements are met. In all cases, environmental impact could be significantly reduced. In comparison to conventional approaches, PLCA was shown to be much more time-efficient. PLCA allows architects to focus on their main task of designing the building, and finally makes LCA practically useful as one of several criteria for design optimization. With PLCA, the building design can be time-efficiently optimized from the beginning of the most influential early design stages, which has not been possible until now. PLCA provides a good starting point for further research. In the future, it could be extended by integrating the social and economic aspects of sustainability.

And it is anxious for the survey technique that doesn’t need cost and time more. Then, we made an idea of the technique of precise 3D model creation by 2D pictures. However, the technique of performing the improvement in accuracy of convergent photographing and automatic acquisition of corresponding points was not established. Therefore, in this research, we try to obtain a semi-automation of corresponding points acquisition from initial corresponding points and the improvement in accuracy of convergent photographing. Moreover, we applied the research to the used house of Japanese real estate, and the applicable field was selected as the high needs of the residence of 3D model. And we developed the system that everyone could create Web / 3D model house by VRML easily without requiring expensive apparatuses or expertise.

As cities increased in the early modern era, overcrowding, urbanization, and pollution conditions led reformers to consider the future shape of the cities. One of the most critical topics in contemporary architecture is the subject of the future concepts of living. In most cases, domed cities, as a future concept of living, are rarely considered, and they are used chiefly as “utopian” visions in the discourse of future ways of living. This paper highlights the reviews of domed cities to deepen the understanding of the idea in practice, like its approach in terms of architecture. The main aim of this paper is to provide a broad overview for domed cities in the face of pollution as one of the main concerns in many European cities. As a result, the significance of the reviews of the existing projects is focused on their conceptual quality. This review will pave the way for further studies in terms of future developments in the realm of domed cities. In this paper, the city of Celje, one of the most polluted cities in Slovenia, is taken as a case study for considering the concept of Dome incorporated due to the lack of accessible literature on the topic. This review’s primary contribution is to allow architects to explore a broad spectrum of innovation by comparing today’s achievable statuses against the possibilities generated by domed cities. As a result of this study, the concept of living under the Dome remains to be developed in theory and practice. The current challenging climatic situation will accelerate the evolution of these concepts, resulting in the formation of new typologies, which are a requirement for humanity.

IT (information technolgy), including computer technology and communication technology, as a whole is regarded as the most important means to upgrade the construction industry so that research projects were organized by Chinese government to further the application of IT in the construction industry. This study originated from one of the projects and is aimed at grasping the general situation on the application of IT in the construction industry. A questionnaire was designed for the survey, which used stratified proportional sampling method, and was carried out under the help of a government agency. This study can not only provide sound foundation for the government to make relative policies, but also reveal references for the firms in construction industry to apply IT in their business. This paper presents the preliminary result of the survey.

Selected aspects of the concept have been implemented and tested as prototypes. The process of step-by-step capture and representation is determined by the order in which the user experiences the building. Only the information that the user knows (can see) or can reasonably deduce is represented. In addition approaches to the flexible combination of different measuring techniques and geometric abstractions are described which are based upon geodetic computational adjustment.

Based on empirical data collected from 74 US construction firms, the analyses provide evidence that IT has a positive impact on overall firm performance, schedule performance, and cost performance. Firm performance is a composite score of several metrics of performance: schedule performance, cost performance, customer satisfaction, safety performance, and profit. No relationship is found between IT utilization and customer satisfaction, safety, or profit, although this may be due to limitations of the study given strong correlations between IT utilization and cost and schedule performnance. The empirical evidence of positive association between performance and IT use provided by this research is significant to both construction practice and research literature. This evidence should encourage firms to adopt and invest in IT tools.

T1 - An Integrated Software Environment for the Architectural Design Process N2 - The general motivation of this research is to develop software to support the handling of the increased complexity of architectural design. In this paper we describe a system providing general support during the whole process. Instead of only developing design tools we are also addressing the problem of the operating environment of these tools. We conclude that design tools have to be integrated in an open, modular, distributed, user friendly and efficient environment. Two major fields have to be addressed - the development of design tools and the realisation of an integrated system as their operation environment. We will briefly focus on the latter by discussing known technologies in the field of information technology and other design disciplines that can be used to realise such an environment. Regarding the first subject we have to state the need of a detailed tool specification. As a solution we suggest a strategy where the tool functions are specified on the basis of a transformation, where a hierarchical process model is mapped into specifications of different design tools realising appropriate support for all sub-processes of architectural design. Using this strategy the main steps to develop such a support system are: implementation of a framework as basis for the integrated design system decision whether the tool specification are already implemented in available tools in this case these tools can be integrated using known methods for tool coupling otherwise new design tools have to be developed according to the framework KW - Architektur KW - CAD Y1 - 1997 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-4447 ER -
