Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree Programme – ERASMUS+ 4 European Master in Building Information Modelling BIM A+ Algorithm-aided Information Design: Hybrid Design approach on the edge of Associative Methodologies in AEC RESUMO As últimas três décadas trouxeram um progresso colossal às metodologias de projeto, numa evolução em direção a uma fusão entre os mundos digital e físico que se expande pelo poder da computação e redes digitais. Neste histórico período, surgiram duas gerações de metodologias e ferramentas no contexto do CAD: sistemas de geração Aditivos e sistemas de geração Associativos. Atualmente, projetistas de todo o mundo dedicam-se a novas formas de exploração do projeto. Neste processo emergiram duas metodologias a partir da abordagem de Projeto Associativo – Object-Oriented Design (OOD) e Algorithm-Aided Design (AAD). O objetivo principal deste trabalho é investigar, examinar e explorar os limites de OOD e AAD para a num novo paradigma de projeto, onde as vantagens de ambos os métodos se combinam numa nova metodologia generativa que no presente estudo se design de Algorithm-aided Information Design (AID). A metodologia deste estudo estrutura-se em dois momentos. No primeiro momento, metodologias CAD existentes são investigadas e a estrutura conceptual é extraída com base na análise do estado da arte, em seguida, os dados analisados são sintetizados na proposta do tema central do trabalho. No segundo momento, ferramentas e processos de trabalho são elaborados e examinados na prática para confirmar a proposta do tema. Em conformidade, o conteúdo da investigação é composto por duas partes teóricas e práticas. Na primeira parte teórica, é constituído por uma revisão da literatura e hipóteses para especular sobre a metodologia AID, suas ferramentas, possíveis vantagens e desvantagens. Em seguida, pelo desenvolvimento de casos de estudo realizados de acordo com estágios sequenciais de projeto digital à luz da implementação prática da metodologia AID. Os casos de estudo abordam diferentes aspetos de projeto, tal como a geração de modelos e documentação, automatização de processos de desenho, interoperabilidade, controlo da fabricação, análise e otimização do desempenho do projeto. Finalmente, desenvolve-se um conjunto de projetos que implementam diversos aspetos da metodologia AID. Após esta parte prática, a investigação retorna à teoria onde as informações analíticas são reunidas com base na revisão da literatura, quadro conceptual e relatórios da prática experimental. Associando e analisando todas as fontes investigadas, o estudo apresenta proposta de melhorias da estrutura do AID e suas conclusões. Em resumo, o estudo sintetiza a metodologia AID como parte de um processo de Desenho Híbrido, possibilitando o uso criativo de ferramentas e a elaboração de sistemas de projeto Ágil integrando metodologias aditivas e associativas de Projeto Digital.Em geral, o estudo é baseado no método Ágil e em métodos de desenvolvimento cíclico misto entre prática e teoria para alcançar uma visão ampla do tema.

For this historically short period, two generations of methodologies and tools have emerged: Additive generation and parametric Associative generation of CAD. Currently, designers worldwide engaged in new forms of design exploration. From this race, two prominent methodologies have developed from Associative Design approach – Object-Oriented Design (OOD) and Algorithm-Aided Design (AAD). The primary research objective is to investigate, examine, and push boundaries between OOD and AAD for new design space determination, where advantages of both design methods are fused to produce a new generation methodology which is called in the present study AID (Algorithm-aided Information Design). The study methodology is structured into two flows. In the first flow, existing CAD methodologies are investigated, and the conceptual framework is extracted based on the state of art analysis, then analysed data is synthesized into the subject proposal. In the second flow, tools and workflows are elaborated and examined on practice to confirm the subject proposal. In compliance, the content of the research consists of two theoretical and practical parts. In the first theoretical part, a literature review is conducted, and assumptions are made to speculate about AID methodology, its tools, possible advantages and drawbacks. Next, case studies are performed according to sequential stages of digital design through the lens of practical AID methodology implementation. Case studies are covering such design aspects as model & documentation generation, design automation, interoperability, manufacturing control, performance analysis and optimization. Ultimately, a set of test projects is developed with the AID methodology applied. After the practical part, research returns to the theory where analytical information is gathered based on the literature review, conceptual framework, and experimental practice reports. In summary, the study synthesizes AID methodology as part of Hybrid Design, which enables creative use of tools and elaborating of agile design systems integrating additive and associative methodologies of Digital Design. In general, the study
