The two volumes together contain 117 accepted papers. All papers are also available digitally at CumInCAD (Cumulative Index of Computer Aided Architectural Design) – http://papers.cumincad.org Theme “The problem of the house is a problem of the epoch. The equilibrium of society today depends upon it. Architecture has for its first duty, in this period of renewal, that of bringing about a revision of values, a revision of the constituent elements of the house.” Le Corbusier, Towards a New Architecture, 1923 Context Almost a hundred years after the first edition of the book “Towards a New Architecture”, the problem of architecture in the age of the Industrial Revolution is relevant again. A century ago Le Corbusier advocated for a new concept of architecture based on engineering logic of the Second Industrial Revolution and mass production. At the end of the 20th century, the Third Industrial Revolution brought a digital turn in architecture, reshaping the way of thinking and making. Today, industrial revolution is already changing architecture before our eyes towards a new, configurable architecture. Volume 1 - eCAADe 39 | v How we can describe the notion of configuration in architecture? The notion of configuration can be described as a relative arrangement of elements in a particular system, form, figure, or other formations. Configuration represents the essence of the design process. The configurable architecture may include a process of abstract thinking through design and exploitation. It can be considered from different perspectives such as design analysis and critical thinking, creative process, digital fabrication, computational design, responsive architecture and environments, material-based design, autonomous assembly or interactive design visualization. We are already witnessing the application of configurable products in other engineering disciplines that allow end users to participate in the design process and personalize products. How will the architecture in the 21st century respond to the challenges of a new configurable approach to design production and collaboration in the following years? From mass-customization toward mass-personalization, configurable architecture is seeking for an answer to how architecture will adjust to habitual behavior of their users in the 21st century. What are the new lessons for architects in this new age, age of mass-customization? How parametric tools can enable every person to participate in the design process? What are the new tools for the design collaboration in architecture? “Towards a new configurable architecture” critically questions the notion of configuration in architecture and how it can be applied to rethinking architectural ideas, design process, representation, fabrication and utilization process. vi | eCAADe 39 - Volume 1 In order to specifically address some of the questions above, we have invited researchers, professors, experts and students to discuss topics such as: Computational design Rule based systems and shape grammar Building Information Modeling CAAD and education CAAD, creativity and design thinking models Smart cities, city modeling and GIS Digital fabrication and robotics Mass customization in design Digital representation and visualization VR, AR and interactive visualization Agent-based modeling and machine learning in design Simulation, prediction and evaluation in design Structure optimization and material-based design Bionics, bioprinting, living materials Collaborative, participative or responsive design Digital design for sustainable buildings Performance based design Digital heritage The first volume of the proceedings contains 58 papers while the second volume contains 59 papers. In addition to the accepted papers, the first volume is preceded by Keynote papers including keynote speakers' contributions concerning the themes of their keynote lectures and the workshops organized the days before the Conference. eCAADe 2021 conference chairs Vesna Stojaković & Bojan Tepavčević Volume 1 - eCAADe 39 | vii viii | eCAADe 39 - Volume 1 FOREWORD - eCAADe2021 Dear eCAADe friends, The first eCAADe Hybrid conference Novi Sad 2021 “Towards a new configurable architecture” invites ‘academicians, researchers, professionals and students to address how problem-formations in architecture, will be defined within the long lasting conditions (loss of valuable natural resources, construction waste, energy consumption, ect) that generate existence threatening problems for the planet earth and calls for the urgent action. This year, our community was exited to meet with this challenging conference theme in city of Novi Sad for the 39th eCAADe conference in Europe. However, with still existing global crises, due to Covid outbreak, a joint decision was made to organize eCAADe 2021 Novi Sad conference in a Hybrid mode. The deep spirit of cooperation, and commitment of Novi Sad organization team gave a life to the eCAADe 2021 Hybrid Novi SAD Conference. The theme “Towards a new configurable architecture” critically questions the notion of configuration in architecture and how it can be applied to rethinking architectural ideas, design process, representation, fabrication and utilisation process by seeing architecture in a particular way in which architecture system’s components or services and their connectors or bindings are composed and structured into the resulting building system. A conventional architecture design and construction is characterized by tightly coupled components, that are not configurable, modifiable, and reusable without harming the actual building system and generating construction waste. As a result, the AEC sector uses the most resources and generates the most waste that harms the planet earth. This year’s conference theme “Towards a new configurable architecture” that addresses these issue’s within the frame work of eCAADe conference subjects is aligned with the Europe’s “Circular Economy Action Plan for a Cleaner and More Competitive Europe”. Volume 1 - eCAADe 39 | ix Architecture by developing affinities and collaborations through multi- disciplinary, multi-scalar, and multi-centered approaches can transform the present and future condition of the Earth System. eCAADe conference is a unique environment for transforming tracks of thought by providing platforms for multi-disciplinary knowledge sharing. I’m looking forward to discussing these and other relevant issues in Novi Sad in physical and online environment. The World PhD Workshop 2021, that is linked to Ecaade Novi Sad PhD workshop is aimed to build togetherness and collaboration among young researchers of sister organizations, of ACADIA, SiGradi, CAADRIA, ASCAD and eCAADe, will be held online at the 6th-7th-8th of December at Federal University of Juiz De Fora. The workshop provides an opportunity for young researchers of our communities to collaborate, to experience how PhD studies are conducted in various schools across the world, and gives an opportunity to meet with prominent researchers in the Architecture and Computing field. I would like to thank to Novi Sad organization team who made eCAADe 2021 Hybrid conference event possible in this

  • Current Migration Situation in the EU: Hate Crime November 2016
    HELPING TO MAKE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS A REALITY FOR EVERYONE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Current migration situation in the EU: hate crime November 2016 Asylum seekers and migrants face various forms of violence and harassment across the European Union (EU). As this month’s report on the migration situation underscores, such acts are both perpetrated and condoned by state authorities, private individuals, as well as vigilante groups. They increasingly also target activists and politicians perceived as ‘pro-refugee’. Meanwhile, a lack of relevant data is hampering efforts to develop effective measures to prevent these incidents. Outlining recent attacks in 14 EU Member States, this focus of the November report also examines the diverse factors that undermine the reporting of such incidents and highlights promising practices seeking to counter them. Contents Thematic focus: hate crime....................................................................................................2 Main findings ..........................................................................................................................2 Scarce recording of incidents targeting asylum seekers and migrants................................... 3 Incitement to hatred.......................................................................................................................... 7 Question of perpetrators................................................................................................................... 7 Factors behind the low reporting of incidents

The catenary is a curve which has an equation defined yb a hyperbolic cosine function and a scaling factor. The scaling factor for power cables hanging under their own weight is equal to the horizontal tension on the cable divided by the weight of the cable. Both of these values are unknown for this problem. Newton's method was used to approximate the scaling factor and the arc length function to determine the length of the cable. A script was written using the Python programming language in order to quickly perform several iterations of Newton's method to get a good approximation for the scaling factor.

  • The Parametric Façade Optimization in Architecture Through a Synthesis of Design, Analysis and Fabrication
    The Parametric Façade Optimization in Architecture through a Synthesis of Design, Analysis and Fabrication by Peter C. Graham A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Peter C. Graham 2012 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Modular building systems that use only prefabricated parts, sometimes known as building “kits”, first emerged in the 1830s and 1840s in the form of glass and iron roof systems for urban transportation and distribution centers and multi-storey façade systems. Kit systems are still used widely today in the form of curtain wall assemblies for office and condominium towers, yet in all this time the formal flexibility of these systems (their ability to form complex shapes) has not increased greatly. This is in large part due to the fact that the systems still rely on mass-produced components. This lack of flexibility limits the degree to which these systems can be customized for particular contexts and optimized for such things as daylighting or energy efficiency. Digital design and fabrication tools now allow us to create highly flexible building façade systems that can be customized for different con- texts as well as optimized for particular performance objectives. This thesis develops a prototype for a flexible façade system using parametric modeling tools.

La scelta di utilizzare il computer per esprimere il fare artistico, per sviluppare un linguaggio della manifestazione artistica diviene strettamente connesso • al sistema operativo, • all’applicazione, • alla pagina definita dal codice ed • alle teorie che del computer prendono in considerazione gli aspetti logici, simbolici; E’ possibile attivare sul computer, in maniera chiara e fortemente innovativa, una rappresentazione del proprio agire artistico. La vera innovazione, sappiamo bene, non consiste certo nella tastiera più o meno user friendly ma nella capacità di usare il mezzo informatico alla stessa stregua dei più disparati materiali presi a base nelle rappresentazioni dell’arte contemporanea. 13 14 15 16 17 Quali possono essere, allora, le strategie per l'archiviazione e, principalmente, per la conservazione delle arti digitali e di altre pratiche artistiche contemporanee di natura effimera o variabile e comunque strettamente dipendente da un medium la cui sopravvivenza è abbondantemente messa in crisi dagli stessi assunti metodologici della tecnologia adottata? Trovo in questo senso diagrammatica, esulando solo per un attimo dalle arti figurative (che includono figurazione e rappresentazione comunque iconica) la composizione musicale Helicopter String Quartet di Karlheinz Stockhausen che prevede che i quattro esecutori siano ciascuno su un differente elicottero ed eseguano sincronicamente l’esecuzione essendo tra loro collegati mediante apparecchi di registrazione e trasmissione coordinati da terra dal regista o meglio ancora dal direttore tecnologico dell’orchestra.

    The Evolution of Architectural Pedagogy in the Age of Information: Advancing technologies and their implementation in architectural pedagogies by Hamad Alqabandy A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Beverly Brandt, Chair Claudia Mesch David Newton ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2012 ABSTRACT The contemporary architectural pedagogy is far removed from its ancestry: the classical Beaux-Arts and polytechnic schools of the 19th century and the Bauhaus and Vkhutemas models of the modern period. Today, the “digital” has invaded the academy and shapes pedagogical practices, epistemologies, and ontologies within it, and this invasion is reflected in teaching practices, principles, and tools. Much of this digital integration goes unremarked and may not even be explicitly taught. In this qualitative research project, interviews with 18 leading architecture lecturers, professors, and deans from programs across the United States were conducted. These interviews focused on advanced practices of digital architecture, such as the use of digital tools, and how these practices are viewed. These interviews yielded a wealth of information about the uses (and abuses) of advanced digital technologies within the architectural academy, and the results were analyzed using the methods of phenomenology and grounded theory. Most schools use digital technologies to some extent, although this extent varies greatly. While some schools have abandoned hand-drawing and other hand-based craft almost entirely, others have retained traditional techniques and use digital technologies sparingly. Reasons for using digital design processes include industry pressure as well as the increased ability to solve problems and the speed with which they could be solved.
