Both technical and work-in-progress papers presented at SimAUD continue to explore new frontiers and to engage diverse communities of researchers, academics, designers and practitioners. Together, they contribute to the advancement of research and knowledge that are instrumental to the future of how buildings and cities are conceived, designed, built and inhabited. From over 50 initial submissions, we accepted 15 papers and 4 work-in-progress papers. These selections are the result of a very rigorous, thoughtful and thorough reviews that were provided by our distinguished reviewers and committee members. Several broad themes emerged during the selection process: Materials, Early Stages of Design Process, Design & Analysis and Urban Planning. The papers and work-in-progress papers will be presented at SimAUD 2012 in Orlando, Florida. We would like to thank Azam Khan for establishing SimAUD and for his continued insights and guidance, Mi- chael Glueck, Ebenezer Hailemariam and Michael Lee for their work on the website and the proceedings, and Rhys Goldstein and Simon Berslav for their help in developing the Easy DEVS workshop. Our gratitude is also extended to Nancy Clark Brown from Autodesk Education who generously funded SimAUD’ s first Student Travel Scholarship. Finally, we would like to thank Gord Kurtenbach, Jason Winstanley, Phil Bernstein, and Jeff Kowalski of Autodesk for their support and encouragement. SimAUD would not have been possible without the generous involvement of our Committee members and 36 reviewers, the SimAUD advisory board, and most important, the authors themselves. We sincerely thank them for their hard work, support, inspiration and endless patience in making sure that the SimAUD community contin- ues to grow and provide authors with the opportunity to share and publish high quality research. Lira Nikolovska, Autodesk SimAUD 2012 Chair Ramtin Attar, Autodesk Research SimAUD 2012 Co-Chair All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library at the SpringSim Archive.

Abstract Advances in computational techniques allow for the Working with wood we aimed to understand how the integration of simulation in the initial design phase of simulation of material behaviour, its bend and flex, can be architecture. This approach extends the range of the incorporated as active parameters in the design process and architectural intent to performative aspects of the overall become part of a structural principle. Traditional building structure and its elements. However, this also changes the structures facilitate load bearing through a correlation of process of design from the primacy of geometrical concerns compressive and tensile forces passing loads linearly to the negotiation between encoded parameters. Material through the building envelope. However, materials hold behavior was the focus of the research project that led to the internal forces that can be incorporated into structural Dermoid 1:1 demonstrator build in Copenhagen. Dermoid systems – as in the Shukhov Towers (Picon 1997) – thereby was a 1:1 prototype, plywood structure that explored how reducing material use and leading to a more intelligent and the induced flex of plywood meets structural loads. The potentially sustainable building practice. integration of simulation tools into the digital design and fabrication process allows producing
