This project aims to engage a new material practice and next steps in digital fabrication in architecture through the production of models and prototypes via cutting-edge parametric and associative software that interface fabrication technologies in related, but alternative disciplines.

This paper includes new explorations in robotic fabrication, additive manufacturing, complex patterning, and techniques bound in the arts and crafts.

Natural load bearing structures are characterized by aspects of specialized morphology, lightweight, adaptability, and a regenerative life cycle. PolyBrick 2.0 aims to learn from and apply these characteristics in the pursuit of revitalizing ceramic load bearing structures.

In this research by Choi, Dudte and Mahadevan they propose a design framework for compact reconfigurable kirigami patterns, which can morph from a closed and compact configuration into a deployed state.

In this research by Dan Luo, Lei Yu they study the emerging use of robots in manufacture sectors. Both academic and industry community has raised increasing attention in applying the robots to construction industries.

This paper investigates ‘2.5D’ graphic statics for gridshell design. This relies upon the form, force and slope diagrams. This paper also introduces the concept of mixed-Airy gridshells in which the Airy stress function and plane-faced gridshell are interchangeable for the same applied vertical load.

In this research, first, parametric design and optimization algorithm are introduced; then, the process of modeling and optimization procedures is discussed; at last, the parametric optimization design is applied to solve the complex architectural design problems.

This paper presents a study to analyze and modify the Islamic star pattern using digital algorithm, introducing a method to efficiently modify and control classical geometric patterns through experiments and applications of computer algorithms.

In this study, an elective undergraduate course is considered in the context of design and to yield a versatile thinking strategy while learning the language of visual programming.

This study focuses on the application of parametric modeling using the Rhinoceros 6 Grasshopper program on an Islamic geometric historical pattern, which decorated the gate of the School in Wasit, where the search imposes a spatial approach.

In this paper they propose a method that helps an unskilled user to carve a rough physical replica of a 3D model using the minimum number of cuts while only using manual cutting tools.

this paper is a discussion of new theoretical paradigms associated with the design and operation of high performance envelopes of which four characteristics of this emergent sub-discipline are herein examined.

In this paper they use DrAFT, a computational framework for the generation and exploration of facade designs, to explore a set of different examples of building skins.

This work proposes a ceramic facade system designed according to a performance-based process grounded on environmental analysis and parametric design to allow adaptation and geometric variation according to specific building demands on environmental comfort and functionality.

This paper presents a mathematical model inspired by nature and its principles to simplify form-finding processes of complex solutions in responsive facades.

This article describes the conceptual design process of an equestrian centre, presenting the covered stadium of the building complex in detail, designed it as a free-form, wide-span steel structure.

The purpose of this thesis is to make a connection between architect students and engineers, to find the differences between us and to try to collaborate.

In this paper, we investigate the design of an adaptive biomimetic facade as a practical solution for enhancing energy efficiency of highly glazed buildings in the hot and humid regions.

This study presents interactive movement as one of the leading factors of contemporary ways of expression in architecture.

This paper focuses on the environmental performance of kinetic façades in buildings by reviewing current practices. The process involved an investigation of literature studies that conducted research to evaluate the performance of kinetic façade systems from numerous perspectives.
