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

Preserving and restoring such temples is diffi cult because their construction includes wooden brackets—dougong. The BIM technology and our own method based on treatises of old Chinese architecture have enabled us to generate an information model of the temple (a new means of information processing) and to test it for geometric consistency. To create a library of elements, the Autodesk Revit software was used. To test the effi ciency of the library we applied the information model to the Shengmudian temple in the Shanxi province. The adaptation of the dougong library elements to wooden Buddhist temples provides the possibility for applying such technologies to generate a unifi ed system regardless of the software. Keywords: Architectural monuments, information modeling, BIM, Buddhist temples, dougong.

  • Temple Architecture of Liao & Jin Dynasty
    Recent Researches in Energy, Environment and Landscape Architecture Temple Architecture of Liao&Jin dynasty(916-1234A.D) in Datong JI JIANLE, CHENRONG College of Landscape Architecture Nanjing Forestry University 159 Longpan Road, 210037, Nanjing CHINA [email protected] http://yuanlin.njfu.edu.cn Abstract:Datong was the auxiliary capital of Liao and Jin Dynasties, it was also the Buddhist center of northern china at that time. A lot of Buddhist buildings were carefully preserved there. Most people don’t know that the architecture of the same time, such as Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties are followed Tang Dynasty but the same time they are different from each other. After doing the research about the Buddhist buildings in Datong, it was known that the architecture style of the dynasties of the same time such as Song , Liao and Jin was followed Tang Dynasty. But what is the difference from them? Through research these Buddhist buildings, we can conclude that people in Liao and Jin periods followed the architectural style of Tang Dynasty -- roof gentle gradient, eaves overhangs deeply, large Dougong, thick columns, the appearance of the building is simple, forceful and effective, unlike the building of Song , soft and beautiful. However, the building of Liao Dynasty developed their own characteristics, the appearance and use of oblique Dougong. Key Words: Datong,Liao and Jin Dynasties,Buddhism,architectural styles,Dougong,roof,decline of the columns during the end of Tang Dynasty and Wudai Dynasty 1 The Buddhist buildings during Liao until the beginning of Khitan Dynasty .

  • The Political Symbolism of Chinese Timber Structure: a Historical Study of Official Construction in Yingzao-Fashi
    The Political Symbolism of Chinese Timber Structure: a historical study of official construction in Yingzao-fashi Pengfei Ma A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Built Environment 2020 Surname/Family Name : Ma Given Name/s : Pengfei Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar : PhD Faculty : Faculty of Built Environment School : School of Built Environment Thesis Title : The Political Symbolism of Chinese Timber Structure: a historical study of official construction in Yingzao-fashi Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This research presents a historical study of timber construction in the official building code Yingzao-fashi from the lens of politics. The longevity of Chinese civilisation is associated with the ephemeral but renewable timber structure of Chinese buildings. Such an enduring and stable tie, to a large extent, should be attributed to the adaptability of timber structures to the premodern Chinese political system. The inquiry and analysis of the research are structured into three key aspects — the impetus of Yingzao-fashi, official construction systems, the political symbolism of and literature associated with timber structure. The areas of inquiry are all centred on the research question: how did Chinese timber structure of different types serve premodern Chinese politics? First, Yingzhao-fashi has been studied by scholars mainly from a technical point of view, but it was a construction code designed to realise the agenda of political reform. Secondly, the main classifications of timber structures in Yingzao-fashi – diange and tingtang – possessed distinct construction methods of vertical massing and horizontal connection respectively. These two methods, emphasising different architectural elements, are identified as two construction systems created for royal family and officials: royal construction and government construction.

Based on the surveying and mapping of JinciMirror Terrace and the collected data, load on the Mirror Terrace is calculated to provide the accurate value of the load, which can be used to determine the repair plan and provide a reference for later calculation of similar ancient buildings. The static stability is analyzed to determine whether the main components of the Mirror Terrace have good performance, discover the structural ideas of the ancients during construction, and provide a basis for the protection and maintenance of the buildings. Keywords: ancient building; internal force; load range; Ming dynasty; static load 1 INTRODUCTION AND RESEARCH AIM certain Shaolin hall [11].

  • The Caisson – Review of a Unique Wooden Construction Typology in China
    The caisson – review of a unique wooden construction typology in China Corentin Fivet École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Fribourg, Switzerland Jingxian Ye Shanghai, China Peiliang Xu Ninghai County Cultural Heritage Administration Office, Zhejiang, China ABSTRACT: The caisson is a wooden construction system that covers opera stages for rain protection and sound control. Caissons in China display a diverse range of geometric expressions, delicate manufacturing, structural behaviours, and acoustic qualities. Despite their uniqueness and patrimonial interest, very little liter- ature is known to exist, and it lacks comprehensiveness. First, this paper attempts to compile for the first time a comprehensive list of publications on caissons. Fifteen sources are identified, among which six papers address the origin and interpretation of douba and spiral caissons. In addition, other types are here recorded, based on an original field research in Zhejiang and Shanxi provinces. Following this survey, the paper also suggests a classification for caisson types according to their geometries, construction process, and structural behaviour. This classification is further supported by the interviews with a local carpenter master who specialized in the renovation and component replacement of caissons. Considerations on carving artistries, painting, and pest control are also given eventually. As a result, this study brings forward the caisson’s diversity, fineness, and significance for the history of wood joinery construction. KEYWORDS: 12th-19th centuries, China, Wood-only-construction, Typology, Construction Technology 1 INTRODUCTION refers to the aquatic plants, and ‘well’ means the wa- ter source.

  • Chinese Architecture and Metaphor: Song Culture in the Yingzao Fashi
    Feng Jiren Jiren Feng ,KTMENIE;.6OTJJ 63 Introduction Between the carpenter’s weight strings and marking lines [is something] close to government order and enlightenment (繩墨之 間鄰於政教). Li Hua, “Hanyuandian fu” 1 When the Tang (618–907) scholar Li Hua 李華 (715–766) composed his poetic essay dedicated to the Enfolding-Vitality Hall (Hanyuandian 含 元殿, built in 663), the most magnifi cent building in the imperial palace compound in Chang’an 長安 (modern Xi’an), he lent a special meaning to the construction of architecture. Th e hall was where the court handled state aff airs and held grand ceremonies. While eulogizing the virtues and deeds of Emperor Gaozong (高宗 628–683, r. 649–683), the patron of the hall, Li Hua emphasized the importance of the “grand scope and magnitude” (宏模廓度) and “majestic structure” (壯麗棟宇)2 for the imperial palaces because these concerned state policy and moral edifi cation. Using two fundamental carpenter’s tools, sheng 繩 (weight strings or plumb lines) and mo 墨 (ink-marking lines), to represent the process of the construction of buildings, he expressed a remarkable idea: that the activity of the carpenter was in some way parallel or relevant to ideals of government. Specifi cally, the craftsmen’s regulating process could be seen as embodying government order and virtue. ,KTMEJEOTZXUOTJJ 63 2 INTRODUCTION Th is notion refl ects, more generally, the way that ancient Chinese literati perceived architecture and the built environment. From early times, many Chinese writers sang the praises of the “imperial virtues” by describing the process of the construction and striking architectural features of the majestic buildings patronized by a king or an emperor, with the implication that the architecture itself proclaimed or symbolized the ruler’s wisdom and virtue.
