Das Erzeugen räumlicher Konfigurationen ist eine zentrale Aufgabe im architektonischen bzw. städtebaulichen Entwurfsprozess und hat zum Ziel, eine für Menschen angenehme Umwelt zu schaffen. Der Geometrie der entstehenden Räume kommt hierbei eine zentrale Rolle zu, da sie einen großen Einfluss auf das Empfinden und Verhalten der Menschen ausübt und nur noch mit großem Aufwand verändert werden kann, wenn sie einmal gebaut wurde. Die meisten Entscheidungen zur Festlegung der Geometrie von Räumen werden während eines sehr kurzen Zeitraums (Entwurfsphase) getroffen. Fehlentscheidungen die in dieser Phase getroffen werden haben langfristige Auswirkungen auf das Leben von Menschen, und damit auch Konsequenzen auf ökonomische und ökologische Aspekte.
Mittels computerbasierten Layoutsystemen lässt sich der Entwurf räumlicher Konfigurationen sinnvoll unterstützen, da sie es ermöglichen, in kürzester Zeit eine große Anzahl an Varianten zu erzeugen und zu überprüfen. Daraus ergeben sich zwei Vorteile. Erstens kann die große Menge an Varianten dazu beitragen, bessere Lösungen zu finden. Zweitens kann das Formalisieren von Bewertungskriterien zu einer größeren Objektivität und Transparenz bei der Lösungsfindung führen. Um den Entwurf räumlicher Konfigurationen optimal zu unterstützen, muss ein Layoutsystem in der Lage sein, ein möglichst großes Spektrum an Grundrissvarianten zu erzeugen (Vielfalt); und zahlreiche Möglichkeiten und Detaillierungsstufen zur Problembeschreibung (Flexibilität), sowie Mittel anzubieten, mit denen sich die Anforderungen an die räumliche Konfiguration adäquat beschreiben lassen (Relevanz). Bezüglich Letzterem spielen wahrnehmungs- und nutzungsbezogene Kriterien (wie z. B. Grad an Privatheit, Gefühl von Sicherheit, Raumwirkung, Orientierbarkeit, Potenzial zu sozialer Interaktion) eine wichtige Rolle.
Die bislang entwickelten Layoutsysteme weisen hinsichtlich Vielfalt, Flexibilität und Relevanz wesentliche Beschränkungen auf, welche auf eine ungeeignete Methode zur Repräsentation von Räumen zurückzuführen sind. Die in einem Layoutsystem verwendeten Raumrepräsentationsmethoden bestimmen die Möglichkeiten zur Formerzeugung und Problembeschreibung wesentlich. Sichtbarkeitsbasierte Raumrepräsentationen (Sichtfelder, Sichtachsen, Konvexe Räume) eignen sich in besonderer Weise zur Abbildung von Räumen in Layoutsystemen, da sie einerseits ein umfangreiches Repertoire zur Verfügung stellen, um räumliche Konfigurationen hinsichtlich wahrnehmungs- und nutzungsbezogener Kriterien zu beschreiben. Andererseits lassen sie sich vollständig aus der Geometrie der begrenzenden Oberflächen ableiten und sind nicht an bestimmte zur Formerzeugung verwendete geometrische Objekte gebunden.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein Layoutsystem entwickelt, welches auf diesen Raumrepräsentationen basiert. Es wird ein Evaluationsmechanismus (EM) entwickelt, welcher es ermöglicht, beliebige zweidimensionale räumliche Konfigurationen hinsichtlich wahrnehmungs- und nutzungsrelevanter Kriterien zu bewerten. Hierzu wurde eine Methodik entwickelt, die es ermöglicht automatisch Raumbereiche (O-Spaces und P-Spaces) zu identifizieren, welche bestimmte Eigenschaften haben (z.B. sichtbare Fläche, Kompaktheit des Sichtfeldes, Tageslicht) und bestimmte Relationen zueinander (wie gegenseitige Sichtbarkeit, visuelle und physische Distanz) aufweisen. Der EM wurde mit Generierungsmechanismen (GM) gekoppelt, um zu prüfen, ob dieser sich eignet, um in großen Variantenräumen nach geeigneten räumlichen Konfigurationen zu suchen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Experimente zeigen, dass die entwickelte Methodik einen vielversprechenden Ansatz zur automatisierten Erzeugung von räumlichen Konfigurationen darstellt: Erstens ist der EM vollständig vom GM getrennt, wodurch es möglich ist, verschiedene GM in einem Entwurfssystem zu verwenden und somit den Variantenraum zu vergrößern (Vielfalt). Zweitens erlaubt der EM die Anforderungen an eine räumliche Konfiguration flexibel zu beschreiben (unterschiedliche Maßstäbe, unterschiedlicher Detaillierungsgrad). Letztlich erlauben die verwendeten Repräsentationsmethoden eine Problembeschreibung vorzunehmen, die stark an der Wirkung des Raumes auf den Menschen orientiert ist (Relevanz).
Die in der Arbeit entwickelte Methodik leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Verbesserung evidenzbasierter Entwurfsprozesse, da sie eine Brücke zwischen der nutzerorientierten Bewertung von räumlichen Konfigurationen und deren Erzeugung schlägt.
Development of sustainable urban environments assumes processing of large amount of data from various sources. It could be field study observations, results of simulations or information provided by modeling. This paper focuses on processing modeled data of pedestrian movement based on existed axial maps of particular environment. Introduced component allows further analysis by calculation of set of metrics based on inverted graph, which is built from given paths.
INTRODUCTION
The research field of sound landscape and public life, initially drew my attention during the master class of ‘Media of the Urban’, originally ‘Medien des Urbanen, which was given by Prof. Dr. Gabriele Schabacher in the 2015 summer semester. For the relevant class, I conducted an conceptual case study in Istanbul, Beyoglu District, with the intention of analysing the perception of the space by urban sound. During the summer 2015 I recorded various sounds of different spatial settings and developed the analysis by comparing the situations. By that time, I realized the inherent property of the sound as a medium for our perception in urban context.
In the 2015-2016 winter semester, I participated in the master class of the architectural project, named ‘Build Allegory’, which was given by Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Heike Büttner. The project was situated in Berlin Westkreuz, AVUS north curve, on the highway and was originally a race track from 1921. In this context, the aim of my project was to answer various questions, main of which was, how does the architectural form shape the sound of the place? And, how does the sound of the place shape the architectural from? Since the place is still serving mainly to the vehicles, although the function has differed, the sound objects and the context have remained. Through the existence of contextual references, I started with creating a computational tool for analysing the acoustic characteristics of this urban setting, which is fundamentally providing results as the sound cloud, driven from the sound ray tracing method. Regarding to this soundscape analysis method, which I developed, this computational tool assisted me to find an optimum reciprocal relation between architecture and sound.
Since I have been working on soundscape in the context of architecture, urban situations, public life and public space, I was determined to produce a comprehensive research in this field and propound the hypothesis; the existence of the reciprocity between the social behaviours in public space and the sound landscape. In which extent does this reciprocity exist? What are the effects of the public life on the sonic configurations of the space and the other way around?
Mitigating Risks of Corruption in Construction: A theoretical rationale for BIM adoption in Ethiopia
(2021)
This PhD thesis sets out to investigate the potentials of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to mitigate risks of corruption in the Ethiopian public construction sector. The wide-ranging capabilities and promises of BIM have led to the strong perception among researchers and practitioners that it is an indispensable technology. Consequently, it has become the frequent subject of science and research. Meanwhile, many countries, especially the developed ones, have committed themselves to applying the technology extensively. Increasing productivity is the most common and frequently cited reason for that.
However, both technology developers and adopters are oblivious to the potentials of BIM in addressing critical challenges in the construction sector, such as corruption. This particularly would be significant in developing countries like Ethiopia, where its problems and effects are acute. Studies reveal that bribery and corruption have long pervaded the construction industry worldwide. The complex and fragmented nature of the sector provides an environment for corruption. The Ethiopian construction sector is not immune from this epidemic reality. In fact, it is regarded as one of the most vulnerable sectors owing to varying socio-economic and political factors. Since 2015, Ethiopia has started adopting BIM, yet without clear goals and strategies. As a result, the potential of BIM for combating concrete problems of the sector remains untapped. To this end, this dissertation does pioneering work by showing how collaboration and coordination features of the technology contribute to minimizing the opportunities for corruption. Tracing loopholes, otherwise, would remain complex and ineffective in the traditional documentation processes.
Proceeding from this anticipation, this thesis brings up two primary questions: what are areas and risks of corruption in case of the Ethiopian public construction projects; and how could BIM be leveraged to mitigate these risks? To tackle these and other secondary questions, the research employs a mixed-method approach. The selected main research strategies are Survey, Grounded Theory (GT) and Archival Study. First, the author disseminates an online questionnaire among Ethiopian construction engineering professionals to pinpoint areas of vulnerability to corruption. 155 responses are compiled and scrutinized quantitatively. Then, a semi-structured in-depth interview is conducted with 20 senior professionals, primarily to comprehend opportunities for and risks of corruption in those identified highly vulnerable project stages and decision points. At the same time, open interviews (consultations) are held with 14 informants to be aware of state of the construction documentation, BIM and loopholes for corruption in the country. Consequently, these qualitative data are analyzed utilizing the principles of GT, heat/risk mapping and Social Network Analysis (SNA). The risk mapping assists the researcher in the course of prioritizing corruption risks; whilst through SNA, methodically, it is feasible to identify key actors/stakeholders in the corruption venture. Based on the generated research data, the author constructs a [substantive] grounded theory around the elements of corruption in the Ethiopian public construction sector. This theory, later, guides the subsequent strategic proposition of BIM. Finally, 85 public construction related cases are also analyzed systematically to substantiate and confirm previous findings.
By ways of these multiple research endeavors that is based, first and foremost, on the triangulation of qualitative and quantitative data analysis, the author conveys a number of key findings. First, estimations, tender document preparation and evaluation, construction material as well as quality control and additional work orders are found to be the most vulnerable stages in the design, tendering and construction phases respectively. Second, middle management personnel of contractors and clients, aided by brokers, play most critical roles in corrupt transactions within the prevalent corruption network. Third, grand corruption persists in the sector, attributed to the fact that top management and higher officials entertain their overriding power, supported by the lack of project audits and accountability. Contrarily, individuals at operation level utilize intentional and unintentional 'errors’ as an opportunity for corruption.
In light of these findings, two conceptual BIM-based risk mitigation strategies are prescribed: active and passive automation of project audits; and the monitoring of project information throughout projects’ value chain. These propositions are made in reliance on BIM’s present dimensional capabilities and the promises of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). Moreover, BIM’s synchronous potentials with other technologies such as Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and Radio Frequency technologies are topics which received a treatment. All these arguments form the basis for the main thesis of this dissertation, that BIM is able to mitigate corruption risks in the Ethiopian public construction sector. The discourse on the skepticisms about BIM that would stem from the complex nature of corruption and strategic as well as technological limitations of BIM is also illuminated and complemented by this work. Thus, the thesis uncovers possible research gaps and lays the foundation for further studies.
This dissertation investigates the interactions between urban form, allocation of activities, and pedestrian movement in the context of urban planning. The ability to assess the long-term impact of urban planning decisions on what people do and how they get there is of central importance, with various disciplines addressing this topic. This study focuses on approaches proposed by urban morphologists, urban economists, and transportation planners, each aiming the attention at a different part of the form-activity-movement interaction. Even though there is no doubt about the advantages of these highly focused approaches, it remains unclear what is the cost of ignoring the effect of some interactions while considering others. The general aim of this dissertation is to empirically test the validity of the individual models and quantify the impact of this isolationist approach on their precision and bias.
For this purpose, we propose a joined form-activity-movement interaction model and conduct an empirical study in Weimar, Germany. We estimate how the urban form and activities affect movement as well as how movement and urban form affect activities. By estimating these effects in isolation and simultaneously, we assess the bias of the individual models.
On the one hand, the empirical study results confirm the significance of all interactions suggested by the individual models. On the other hand, we were able to show that when these interactions are estimated in isolation, the resulting predictions are biased. To conclude, we do not question the knowledge brought by transportation planners, urban morphologists, and urban economists. However, we argue that it might be of little use on its own.
We see the relevance of this study as being twofold. On the one hand, we proposed a novel methodological framework for the simultaneous estimation of the form-activity-movement interactions. On the other hand, we provide empirical evidence about the strengths and limitations of current approaches.
Tropical coral reefs, one of the world’s oldest ecosystems which support some of the highest levels of biodiversity on the planet, are currently facing an unprecedented ecological crisis during this massive human-activity-induced period of extinction. 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.
