Parametric Structural Design and Beyond Anke Rolvink, Roel Van De Straat and Jeroen Coenders Parametric Structural Design and beyond Anke Rolvink, Roel van de Straat and Jeroen Coenders international journal of architectural computing issue 03, volume 08 319 Parametric Structural Design and beyond Anke Rolvink, Roel van de Straat and Jeroen Coenders Abstract In order to directly make insightful which implications follow from structural design changes and to be able to adapt a structural design quickly to geometrical design changes made by the architect, the structural engineer may embed a parametric and associative design approach in the structural design process.This approach focuses on parametric modelling and the development of parametric tools which serve specific needs in the structural design process, allowing designers for instance to quickly communicate and discuss alternatives or to inform design team members of structural results of changing design parameters. The paper presents multiple projects within these categories of parametric approaches.They are concentrated on design and analysis with the goal of presenting practical examples of these approaches in structural design which were integrated in the full design process in order to benefit from the qualities of a multi-disciplinary parametric and associative design process. 320 1. Introduction Design of the built environment requires the collaboration of a team of different roles and disciplines:The client, the architect, the structural engineer, the MEP consultant, etc. However, most parametric and associative design systems and research do not focus on a multi-disciplinary approach, but mainly part of the architectural domain: the geometry. However a parametric approach from the architectural perspective alone does not serve the collaborative possibilities of a parametric and associative design process.Working within a multi-disciplinary design team, the project can benefit if the structural engineer adopts a structural parametric and associative design approach that follows the general design intentions of the project and that provides insight, shows possibilities and presents boundary conditions which have to be taken into account by other members of the design team. This paper presents a number of research and development projects as well as case studies of real buildings and structures, within Arup around the globe which all exemplify the influence of structural parameters in the design process.The experiences by the engineers and computational designers will be discussed alongside some of the technical details of the approaches. The paper will be subdivided in two main components: design projects which are based on parametric modelling and research and development projects that employ and enhance the possibilities of parametric technology. All projects made use of Bentley’s GenerativeComponents [1] and/or McNeel’s Grasshopper plug-in for Rhinoceros [2] as parametric and associative modelling system or as a base for custom tool development. 2. Structural Parametric Modelling Over the past years,Arup has more and more experienced the need to have full control over the complete design to improve the behaviour and performance of the design by design variations and optimisation. Especially in the case of adaptation of the structural design to the geometric architectural design (usually with a complex geometry) the project and designers can greatly benefit from parametric control. If construction models and analysis model have to be remodelled manually, especially in early stages of the design where the architectural design is usually liable to many influential design changes, the parametric approach delivers further benefits of easier change and exploration.The projects below show how parametric modelling approaches are embedded in the structural design process to quickly set up structural alternatives, generate construction models and to reanalyse the structure. Parametric Structural Design and beyond 321 2.1. Competition entry for the Austrian Pavilion of the EXPO2010 Viennese architects, SPAN and Zeytinoglu Architects designed a geometrically complex surface model for the competition entry of the Austrian Pavilion for the EXPO2010 in Shanghai, China. For the structural engineers of Arup the main challenge was, next to proving a sound structural concept, to convince the jury of the buildability of the project within a limited timeframe and within a tight budget. Based on initial hand sketches, the structural design was set up parametrically in GenerativeComponents in a way that a number of key structural elements could be analysed individually, but also were associated into an overall parametric model that could be communicated with the architects, Figure 1. The parametric model proofed its value in allowing for quick design ᭡ Figure 1. Left:The parametric model updates when the geometric surface model was edited by the architects or of the structural elements. Middle:The rendered structural model including when structural alternatives had to be examined. For example for the the profile sections. Right:The design of a cantilevering truss, a parametric setup was essential in generating architectural image render of the quick construction and analysis models.The truss, with a height of 10m competition entry. Image (c) SPAN and arranged for the 18m long cantilever at the south-west side of the building. Zeytinoglu Architects. The complexity in the design of the truss was related to the bad soil conditions, urging the designers to avoid tensile forces in the foundation.As a result, the tuning of the downward counter loads from the first floor and roof structure with the upward loading from the rotational moment of the cantilever was matter of constantly changing the number and location of the floor beams as well as their support locations which determined the floor loads that were transferred to the backside of the truss. Employing this parametric approach to model and analyse structural elements based on structural parameters allowed for a quick setup of the structural design and a proposed building sequence, Figure 2.The main benefit however was that the parametric model could easily demonstrate that a complex architectural model could be simplified to a fairly straightforward structure, consisting of mainly standard elements which could be easily assembled, convincing the jury of the buildability of the project within the given boundary conditions. 322 Anke Rolvink, Roel van de Straat and Jeroen Coenders ᭡ Figure 2.The proposed building 2.2. Scheme Design for Coastal Canopies sequence of the main structural elements of the Austrian Pavilion The second project aimed to design a series of coastal canopies with a complex geometry. Having considered typical structural systems for a series of freeform canopies, the limitations (long spans, material constraints, tight budget, ease of construction and specific architectural details) gave rise to a single acceptable solution: a steel structure following a rationalised approximation of the original geometry.Together with the architect a system was set out in Grasshopper to interpret the architectural geometry using simple geometrical surfaces, such as spheres and cones and settled upon a system of interconnected tori, Figure 3. Four patches of four tori would be connected tangentially together, all meeting at a single point, forming the basis of the geometry of each canopy. These tori were generated parametrically so that their base radii, their ᭤ Figure 3. Geometry logic based on four tori Parametric Structural Design and beyond 323 inclinations and translations relative to global coordinates could all be controlled based on parameters.The idea being that the engineer would define the rule-set and the architect would determine which geometry they preferred based on the rules was agreed upon. The base geometry permitted the development of a parametrically defined structural grid upon the surfaces of the tori, so that the maximum length of any element could be fixed.This created structural elements based on arc geometry, with much repetition in the structural nodes and elements, with only a handful of different node types per canopy, creating a cost-effective solution, Figure 4. Considering that there were upwards of 2000 elements per canopy, this would facilitate prefabrication of the steel arc members. Additionally, the base geometry has been used to generate the cladding panelisation system, which inherits the repetitious quality of the toroidal geometry.This creates a set of panel types that only vary where drainage is ᭢ Figure 4.Arc based structural grid system for one of the canopies required.These panels also vary at the perimeter of the surfaces where the thickness between the top of bottom cladding surfaces taper to give the illusion of a very slender volume. The final geometry is that of the tori with the original architectural perimeter (in plan) slicing through the base geometry giving the edges a fluid “random” flow, thus presenting to the naked eye what appears to be a freeform surface, but is in fact a highly rationalised surface. 324 Anke Rolvink, Roel van de Straat and Jeroen Coenders 2.3. NSP Arnhem transfer hall The NSP Arnhem transfer hall project, designed by UNStudio includes a large freeform concrete shell with a complex geometry, Figure 5.The geometry of the shell has been defined by the architect in Rhinoceros as two free form surfaces, consisting of NURBS surfaces.

Cambaa, Manuel Conterob, Pedro Companyc aUniversity of Houston. Houston, TX. [email protected] bUniversitat Politècnica de València. Valencia, Spain. [email protected] cUniversitat Jaume I, Castellón, Spain. [email protected] Abstract CAD model quality in parametric design scenarios largely determines the level of flexibility and adaptability of a 3D model (how easy it is to alter the geometry) as well as its reusability (the ability to use existing geometry in other contexts and applications). In the context of mechanical CAD systems, the nature of the feature-based parametric modeling paradigm, which is based on parent-child interdependencies between features, allows a wide selection of approaches for creating a specific model. Despite the virtually unlimited range of possible strategies for modeling a part, only a small number of them can guarantee an appropriate internal structure which results in a truly reusable CAD model. In this paper, we present an analysis of formal CAD modeling strategies and best practices for history-based parametric design: Delphi’s horizontal modeling, explicit reference modeling, and resilient modeling. Aspects considered in our study include the rationale to avoid the creation of unnecessary feature interdependencies, the sequence and selection criteria for those features, and the effects of parent/child relations on model alteration. We provide a comparative evaluation of these strategies in the form of a series of experiments using three industrial CAD models with different levels of complexity.

  • Parametric Design Thinking About Digital and Material Surface Patterns
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION 6 & 7 SEPTEMBER 2018, DYSON SCHOOL OF DESIGN ENGINEERING, IMPERIAL COLLEGE, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM PARAMETRIC DESIGN THINKING ABOUT DIGITAL AND MATERIAL SURFACE PATTERNS Wenche LYCHE, Arild BERG and Kristin ANDREASSEN OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University ABSTRACT There is a growing need in contemporary society to understand new and emerging relationships between technology and creativity. In practice-oriented areas of education such as design, many instructors have come to understand the importance of different learning styles and how students benefit when presentation of new material is varied to reach all students. The concept of parametric design thinking enabled by advanced computational processes has recently been identified as a relevant approach to design education. The present research further explores parametric design thinking through two case studies of design workshops in an educational context and how this approach can promote diversity. The first case (Robotised Clay Workshop) documents material exploration and creative and aesthetic possibilities in digitalised clay processes. The second case (Surface Patterns in Textiles: From Tradition to Digitalisation and Back) explores digitalised processes in hybrid textile design. The two case studies contribute to the exploration of parametric design thinking as an educational approach and discuss digitalisation and the relations of body, hand and mind in terms of the Vygotskyan ‘zone of proximal development’. This content was synthesised for a workshop on surface patterns for third-year bachelor design students. The paper identifies some potentials and pitfalls of this pedagogical approach and concludes that students’ awareness of conformity and diversity in the design process can be used as a starting point to explore digital surface patterns, offering students a new way of learning about function, aesthetics and product semantics through parametric design thinking.

  • Design of Parametric Software Tools: Optimizing Future Health Care Performance by Integrating Evidence-Based Knowledge in Architectural Design and Building Processes
    Lighting in Engineering, Architecture and the Environment 37 Design of parametric software tools: optimizing future health care performance by integrating evidence-based knowledge in architectural design and building processes J. B. Sabra & M. Mullins Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology, Aalborg University, Denmark Abstract The studies investigate the field of evidence-based design used in architectural design practice and propose a method using 2D/3D CAD applications to: 1) enhance integration of evidence-based design knowledge in architectural design phases with a focus on lighting and interior design and 2) assess fulfilment of evidence-based design criterion regarding light distribution and location in relation to patient safety in architectural health care design proposals. The study uses 2D/3D CAD modelling software Rhinoceros 3D with plug-in Grasshopper to create parametric tool prototypes to exemplify the operations and functions of the design method. To evaluate the prototype potentials, surveys with architectural and healthcare design companies are conducted. Evaluation is done by the administration of questionnaires being part of the development of the tools. The results show that architects, designers and healthcare design advisors recon the tool prototypes as a meaningful and valuable approach for 1) integrating and using evidence-based information; and 2) optimizing design processes and health care facility performances. Further study focuses on parametric information relations in Building Information

We Edward J.

Our concept Michael Cook of fluidic games aims to realise this vision by drawing on three design methodologies. The interaction style of The MetaMakers Institute fluidic games is that of casual creators; their end-user Falmouth University design philosophy is adapted from metadesign; and Cornwall, UK their technical implementation is based on parametric metamakersinstitute.com design.

  • GUI-Based Chinese Font Editing System Using Font Parameterization Technique
    Typography and Diversity http://www.typoday.in GUI-based Chinese Font Editing System Using Font Parameterization Technique Minju Son, School of Computer Science and Engineering, Soongsil University, [email protected] Gyeongjae Gwon, School of Computer Science and Engineering, Soongsil University, [email protected] Jaeyeong Choi, School of Computer Science and Engineering, Soongsil University, [email protected] Geunho Jeong, Gensol Soft, Seoul, Korea, [email protected] Abstract: When creating Roman fonts, about 256 characters should be designed. Whereas creating Chinese fonts, around 8,000 widely used characters should be designed from the total 80,000 to 100,000 characters. In order to solve these problems, many studies on programmable fonts have been performed since 1980s. METAFONT is a font designing system for improving the quality of TeX typesetting in TeX document, and it represents programmable fonts. However, as METAFONT is a programming language, it is very difficult for general font designers to design fonts directly by using it. In order to solve this problem, we propose a GUI-based Chinese font editing system by font parameterization technique, which can easily edit fonts in web browser. Key words: Font Editor, Programmable Font, Font Parameterization, METAFONT. 1. Introduction Recently, the development of portable devices has increased the number of places where fonts are essential, such as e-books, websites, mobile games, books, newspapers, etc. When creating Roman fonts, about 256 characters should be designed. Whereas creating Chinese fonts, around 8,000 widely used characters should be designed from the total 80,000 to 100,000 characters. When generating fonts, characters are generally described as ‘outline’.

Communication and Participation in Virtual Environments Towards a parametric participatory urban design decision-making platform Shuva Chowdhury Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand [email protected] Marc Aurel Schnabel Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand [email protected] Abstract: We seek a framework for engaging people in urban design decision-making process by employing virtual tools. We adopt our previously developed parametric tools for design communication as a bridging method between conventional and participatory urban design approaches. We hypothesise that a virtual participatory urban design platform can provide more design associated information for laypeople to participate in design decision-making. The conventional urban design approaches investigate urban form as purely through the lens of urban professionals. In participatory urban design approaches the design decisions remain as general assumptions because of lack of enough associated information. Therefore, we have developed a methodology to produce urban forms by taking advantages of computational tools to engage stakeholders in complex urban design decision-making processes. This paper focuses on designing the charrette tools. We propose a mixed method of virtual and actual to orient people in the design discussion. We investigate our tools for Karori, a neighbourhood in New Zealand. We critically conclude the paper with an overview of our virtual design communication tools which is destined to engage people in a later stage.
