The primary purpose of this project was to use a topology optimization tool in structural shell elements in respect of two goals which will be mentioned respectively. First, reducing the weight of the structural elements to reduce the total weight of the building is one of the main considerable criteria for defining the dimensions of structural elements. Nevertheless, the optimization process was implemented by considering the gravity loads and against the lateral loads. Moreover, in the next step, we mentioned six different polygons with four different ranges of high ratios, which defines how much materials would be depleted from the structural elements to see and compare which polygon with which target ratio would have less displacement and therefore more resistance against the gravity and lateral loads, finally, by evaluating three different criteria, which would be the total displacement, the weight, and the architectural point in respect by using the fuzzy logic tool to rate all 24 different alternatives and find the best alternative by considering all items after topology optimizations.
Defining the structural mesh elements in each four-meter which includes the core, The slabs, and the outer shell
The diagram of the algorithmic approach for finding the optimum alternative
Brief The hierarchy of structural engineering in a way a building would be created from the hermeneutics aspects is changing step by step from typology to topology paradigm. In current decades form of a building is a direct result of analysis, cognitive and logical result from the directions of structural elements in collaborating with each other. However, in ancient architecture, the form of a building as a result of designing a form without considering the logical analysis of structural members and focusing on aesthetics or in best situation the form was a result of practical experiments of discrete elements while with rising final element methods we have better logical results in recent years. One of the new prevalent methods, which would be a common tool and language between architects and structural engineers for a better result as a final production named building, is topology optimization. This tool would be the beginning of the way to keep the balance between these two duties as basic roles in constructing a building as a common tool. Also, in this modern society, by emerging tall buildings to show off the power and engineering science of different lands the structural engineering science is developing and progressing rapidly. By increasing the height of a building, the lateral loads would be a serious factor for structural analysis. It can be one of the first important criteria that affect the formation of building form. In this research, we try to understand which of the basic extruded regular polygons would behave more stable and resist in front of the lateral loads by 2 analyzing the structural members of these tall structures by topology optimization method in the Karamba plugin.

As shown in the algorithm, every six different polygons’ area is 1600 meters square. By having the dimensions of the sides of each polygon obtained from the area and offsetting the stories, the raw model was ready for the initial analysis. In the next step, the Structural mesh elements were defined as mesh structural elements in every four meters. The lateral loads were defined based on the Article 6 National Building Regulations of Iran in each height also. It needs to be mentioned; the main challenge was after the optimization; the optimized parts, which it was considered as the removed parts, were existed while just the thickness of the removal parts was approaching zero. So the optimized parts were detached based on their RGB code of the BESO method of topology optimization. Finally, the remained parts joined were joined for the final analysis.

Some tools are published in the grasshopper plugin for optimizing the structures by Topology optimization officially BESO method. As shown in the following figure, some of the plugins and optimization tools can be listed as Karamba, millipede, Ameba, and Topos. During this research, the Karamba plugin has been used among these tools due to it’ accuracy in analyzing, declining the numerical results of analyses, and being user friendly to users by the components and inputs defined as inputs.
The building is located along one of the main highways of tehran. Thus, there should be some criterias for avoiding the glazing issue to avoind the accidents while running the highways. Due to this phenomenon all smooth lines of the walls were 3 curved
As shown in the results, the triangle with the 0.3 target ratio failed in the final analysis after optimization, and also, the structure with the circle basement in the 0.3 target ratio did not converge in the optimization process. Furthermore, all other 22 optimized forms are illustrated in the chart with their initial and optimized details. Moreover, The triangle with the target ratio of 0.4 has been figured out as the best alternative rather than all others. As mentioned before, the best alternative has been chosen through the fuzzy logic algorithm based on three factors: displacement, wight, and architectural values, respectively, with the same values. Thus, by obtaining the best alternative, the structural mesh elements were refined for accomodating the functions in floors.

By having the optimized refined mesh elements, the optimized form would evoke bionic shapes which are derived from the natural species. The most similarly optimized species could be a butterfly with outstretched wings or a human chest. Like the optimized form, the human chest and butterfly wings can be considered a type of optimization that has taken the path to lose weight while maintaining resistance. Then, considering that the open form of butterfly wings in terms of aesthetics and imagination can be more similar to the idea of building in terms of dynamics and land use placement, the idea of butterfly wings was selected. However, there was a need for a bed from which the building could emerge. In terms of structural aesthetics and considering the curvature of the butterfly cocoon building form, from where the metamorphic stage of the butterfly in the direction of ascent and flight begins, an attempt was made to align the commercial part on the lower floors with this idea. The upper floors, which accommodate office buildings, can also receive light from the optimized part, such as the two open wings of a butterfly. Considering the light required by the commercial aspect, the roof of the virtual complex, inspired by a butterfly cocoon, has been cut to benefit from natural light and have a more suitable connection to the tower body in terms of form. Like a butterfly that rips open its cocoon and emerges from it.

Brief The aim of the class curriculum was to participate in an international competition to align with computer architecture ideas. Following this contest project, we intended to consider different alternatives of combining cubic modules due to creating empty spaces for generating mutual applications besides molding attractive forms from more room. We need to create an interactive relation between dwellers, environment with the sense of life. With this method of laying our boxes, we offer independent selections to habitats for o good quality of private life despite existing lots of neighborhood units. Our team works on nativating every unit with the culture of china. Moreover, the crucial benches we marked make a suitable adjacency with better quality of life in a tower community.

Structural Elements In this tower we apply symmetrical shear walls to support the building against every seismic and horizental horizental forces. We gather every four wall in many points like our colonies for more harmony in motion.in addition, each of colonies mixed with three others to resist against forces. In smaller scale of structure, there are units which can keep themselves lonely.also for one house we have composit of four or three units with hoock joints which are pre-stressed with cable. cables are linked to shear walls and creat a package of self static modules with freedomn in accomodation. for extra helping to the structure, we use staire-case as structural element. i.e. structural staire-case contileverd from shear walls to keep the public space among of stairs. The public space is designated one for each colony in center of that and in addition in the path of our bridge among the towers. this spaces are the vital artery for comforteblity of habitants, whatching and are watched.

DigitalFuturesWORLD: Platform-based Robotic Timber Architecture
11
In this workshop, a selected group of 20 international and inter-disciplinary participants investigated novel potentials for wood architecture that arise at the intersection of computational design and mobile, platform-based robotic timber construction. The effective design of multi-story timber structures is currently limited to rigid grid layouts that derive from transportation constraints of standardized, prefabricated rectangular slab elements. An on-site robotic fabrication platform that was specifically developed for this workshop allowed the construction of timber structures that break free from these constraints. Based on the possibilities of such a mobile robotic construction process, we explored novel design opportunities for timber construction in high-volume multi-story architectural typologies.
Some works of participants
Day 3: During the workshop, we tried to analyze the structure and mass and turn it into pieces of timber woods and ideation for the work pavilion.
Finally, we simulated the final design developed during the workshop by the software to show the construction of all pieces of timber woods by this five-function robot in a video. If it were widespread, part of the whole structure would be simulated. Moreover, this simulation, along with structural analysis and topological optimization that precedes construction, had to be done to be judged by a jury.

We learned to use structural topology-optimization tools for slab structures, design generation tools for the tectonic definition of building systems, and integrated robotic simulation and subsequent robotic code generation. The workshop was split into three parts. First, we were introduced to the topics of multi-story architecture and platform-based robotic timber construction. In skill-up sessions, we were then taught the digital tools for computational design and fabrication simulation. Last but not least, the core part of the workshop was then the development of individual design explorations in small groups with a focus on the contextual exploitation of the proposed building system in specific contextual scenarios. The workshop was concluded with a comprehensive catalog of design possibilities that arise from non-grid-based design and construction technologies for multi-story timber construction. The fabrication system was tested through the construction of a full-scale demonstrator at Tongji University; After participation, we as participants tried to understand emergent technologies and architectural design opportunities in computational timber construction.

Process
After teaching the Syntax at the beginning of the workshop and elaborating on how to generate G-Codes, the students did two series of basic exercises in their groups to learn the concept of paths in robot simulation in the first part of the workshop. For the first exercise, they were asked to draw continuous curves with patterns in grasshopper 3d and define the motion path of the robot and after generating G-Codes they started light printing but using LED as a tool that was placed on the robot’s head. Also I was involved in photographing the design prototype with long exposure photography. Groups produced corresponding G-Codes to make the robot follow the specified paths and print the pattern with the light. In the next exercise , each group was asked to design a structure making use of timber woods with specified domain sizes and approximate numbers, assemble ith with pictures and place technique, making sure that it could maintain its stability throughout the assembly without screwing or gluing procees being used.

Final product
Form finding: After performing introductory tasks by the teams and getting acquaintance with practical challenges vi’s properly defining planes to prevent collision of the robot arm with its surroundings, and installation of pneumatic gripper and air pump, students embarked on designing a pavilion on a scale of one to one. The major restriction to be considered in designs was the amount of available material, 40 square meter of 18-mm plywood. All of the proposals, were assessed by the jury, and eventually one of them was opted for the final project. Modification were also made to finalise the design.
Initial experiments with Robots: The final design had to be prepared for the assembly process. Given the limitation of the robot reach to 1.6m and the conditions of the site, we decided to halve the arch, and also split each half tob4 and 5 sections respectively, making a total of 9 sections. Two methods were proposed for connection of wooden piecea; utilising a glued roller to which each wooden peice would be rubbed by the robot and placed at its position, or using a collaborative human-robotic fabrication technique in which someone would use a pneumatic nail gun to fasten objects together after being placed by robot. Considering some practical issues and rime constraints, the latter was preferred. The fabricated sections in the workshop space were transported to the campus and assembled over two hours.

Freeform Space Structure Workshops are held for the purpose of research and practice the two areas of free form structures and computer integrated construction and design methods. Each of these training programs deals with a specific way of constructing free form structures. This workshop tried to design and construct two different structures by examining surface active and bending active structures. At first, students have created ways to develop the form by studying the materials and understanding their behavior. Then, they have developed their designs using digital fabrication tools and produced them on a real scale. All parts of these two structures are made of Plywood with thicknesses of 3 and 6 mm and cut using digital fabric cutting machines. Then, by applying force and using the elastic properties 15 of the materials, they are bent to their final shapes.
In the zero phase of the workshop, different methods of fabrication of these types of structures and different types of materials were tested for their elastic deformation and ability of cutting with digital fabric cutting machines. As a result of this process “Cardboard and high impact poly styrene” was selected as the desired prototyping material and plywood with different thicknesses for use in final works. The fist phase of the workshop consisted of two parts: training and experiencing. In the training session, students were introduced to the grasshopper software as a digital design tool and digital fabrication tools to realise potential in design. Students were then asked in the experience section to try to bend a sheet to form a module or part of an active bend structure. In this section, students succeeded in designing seven different prototypes. In the next step, three different systems were selected as the main options and students studied and developed them in three groups. The output of this part was prototypes of a fifth of the hole or pert of the final work. This is to ensure that each group experience the process of the producing a prototype of pavilion using design tools and in the same detail as the final work. Int the last step, two works were selected by students vote and were made on a real scale. The production of the construction drawings was made entirely by code in the grasshopper software and all parts were produces by CNC milling and laser cutting.

Introduction: The workshop was organised in collaboration with university of Art and university of Tehran, By digital craft House at University of Art, Centre of excellence in architectural technology and association of architectural technology at University of Tehran in September 2019. The purpose of this workshop was to provide students with an integrated digital design experience and familiarity with digital fabrication tools and facilities. Our ultimate goals as teachers and instructors were to produce two pavilion at two Universities. Both pavilions were constructed with plywood sheets and using a technique of surface active structures. Final tests and manufacturing of all parts of these two pavilions were all digitally produced. This workshop was attended by 14 students and 9 teachers and instructors. Analysis ,Modeling and Construction Softwares

Back to contents The first product of this workshop is a pendant structure installed in the Exhibition Hall of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Tehran. The structure is made up of a triangular module that forms a flat U with two 90 ° angles. By bending the two ends of the U, it bends the members to form a bended triangle. The flat structure is made of these triangles. Next, by enlarging some triangles, the students attempted to create a three-dimensional form. After understanding this structure’s behavior, we tried to create an algorithm in Grasshopper to simulate the final form in digital space and determine the dimensions of each fragment to reach the final form. After preparing the digital file of fabrication and texture, parts were cut from 3mm plywood to be ready for installation. At this step, all the pieces were cut perpendicular to the timber to bend more easily.

The second product of this workshop is the pavilion that placed in the courtyard of Bagh-Melli campus. This pavilion is made of U shaped pieces that are connected back to back and provided a three dimensional bent in space and stabilized in the same way. Final shape is result of putting these pieces together. Initially this form was digitally modeled on Grasshopper software and then The unroll of each piece was plotted. Due to the five-meter length of the pieces, each piece was split into smaller pieces so that they could be cut from standard plywood sheets 122 x 244 cm. Also some members were produced as a stitching plate for these smaller parts to produce a U shaped form and to bind the U-shapes together. Render and Post production

The idea behind this workshop was to design an fabrication methodology for complex concrete structures; this methodology employs common 2D CNC machineries and therefore is more efficient in Time and expenses. The complexity in this experiment resides in ComputationalDesign where an highly integrated system of hierarchical substructures used to control the geometry and assembly process.

The goal is to shift the complexity of construction from the high-tech equipment used in the fabrication stage to integrating design and fabrication through a hierarchical system made entirely by affordable 2D CNC laser cutters. The stages of developing the method and the process of designing and building an architectural size proof-ofconcept prototype by the proposed method are discussed. The efficiency of the method has been shown by comparing the designed prototype with the Con-Create Pavilion.
Net structures, because of their minimal material waste and intuitive aesthetics, are gaining more interest recently. There are various efforts to redesign the tensile- and compression-only structures, as the computational tools and novel materials have broadened the scope of geometries possible to construct. However, the fabrication process of these structures faces different challenges, especially for mass construction. Some of these challenges are related to the technology and equipment utilized for materializing these complicated forms and geometries. Working with concrete as a quickly forming material for these irregular forms seems promising. Nevertheless, using this material has difficulties, including the preparation of formworks and joints, material reinforcement, structural behavior in the fresh state, and the assembly procedure. This paper introduces a method based on computational design and geometrical solutions to address some of these challenges.

During the workshop, students had to deal with different issues in different sections. Initially, with the proper design of the modules in relation to the purpose, which was the design of a mechanism for the automated construction of modules, the design of the module and the final design resulting from the assembly of the modules should be presented in addition to the proposed mechanism. In the next step, we had to do experiments by researching the material and finding the right ratio to achieve the desired strength. I participated exclusively in designing the mechanism manually, research material and manager of production and supply of materials in the workshop. 21
All steps visually at a glance
The objective was to design a “flexible molding mechanism” that can produce all the elements of a parametric wall. This mechanism is controlled by an arguing to get exacting reliable results.
The Process
The wall and its pattern was designed using grasshopper plugin. After that, we started designing a mechanism that was flexible enough to be able to produce all of the elements. A material research was conducted afterwards to get a sense about the appropriate portins of materials for each: Gypsum: 3cups Moldano: 3 cups Water: 12 cups Cement: 9 cups Polypropylene: 0.1 cup Then the components were molded, coded and finally placed in their position. As the height increases, the size of the modules gradually becomes smaller and the spring between all four modules becomes larger. In the technical document, the angles and sizes of all the modules are given below.

The main purpose of the workshop was to design a structure that are built with 2D elements. It was specifically complex where the form of the structure has a complex twisting and where we had to eliminate the collision of the cutting of sharp angles in consistent plates of the nodes.

The main challenge
‘‘How to design a cost efficient node?’’, ‘‘How to design a node with out casting or trimmings?’’ These were the main challenges in this workshop. Parametric design tools enable us to the design and build complex geometries, using simple components. The surface is generated by a twisted arc and has different curvature in both “u” and “v” directions. The surface was to be made with linear 2D beams. The connection between the beams was the main issue; they had to be simple, easy to fabricate and cost-effective; there fore the solutions like 3D printing or moulding was not an option. The final nodes are a combination of 2D plates which are attached together with specific different angles. Through a digital study, the components were designed in detail and then coded, leading to a fast and simple fabrication process.

Node design
The material used in the fabrication process was sheeted, and the components were decided to be 2D. Each beam is located on a unique plane. Therefore, the joints were required to be able to embrace 4 different beams from different angles in one place. The nodes, themselves, also were decided to be made of 2D plates, consisting of 2 disks, 4 spacers, and 4 triangular plates. In each node, the plates and spacers are attached to the disks from special angles to visualise the surface.
Fabrication process
The Fabrication started with placing the base elements in a proper position on the ground. Next, the base nodes were added to the base elements, then other nodes and beams were weaved from two sides until the met each othe in the middle. In this progress, in order to make the Fabrication easier, some nodes and beams were assembled to make diamond panels. Moreover, to protect the structure from environmental effects, the structure was covered with resin.

About Project Cavaak is a multi-functional bridge connecting two sections of the Science and Technology Park in Isfahan, Iran. Inspired by Isfahan’s rich urban heritage we conducted our research on Isfahan’s historical bridges typology. These bridges are exceptional urban infrastructures that play a multi-purpose role in the city. The core concept is a multi-layered system of systems, overlaying transportation route, public space, and governance palace in a hybrid building using the cutting edge construction technology of its time. Cavaak, the design entry for “The gate of knowledge” competition, employs a minimal surface geometry to create a multi-layered cave. The cave consists of several galleries and shafts which interact with a hyper-reality layer using AR and VR technology. Besides this hybrid flexible exhibition space, various retail and offices are organized in the program to make it a hightech start-up accelerator and a social hub for presenting technological developments to the public.

Khaju Bridge is one of the most developed architectural typologies of its kind and in its time. Khaju is a public infrastructure with a complex program that uses a creative diagram to form an urban superst. The bridge also creates two completely different atmospheres at its two levels: one to pass and one to attend. A super-system overlaps the layers of tectonics, circulation, program, culture, and politics and has been implemented in the form of a system in the city’s body.

In mathematics, a minimal surface is a surface that locally minimizes its area. This is equivalent to having zero mean curvature. The term “ minimal surface” is used because these surfaces originally arose as surfaces that minimised tota surface area subject to some constraints. Physical models of area-minising minimal surfaces can be made by dipping a wire-frame into a soap solution, forming a soap film, which is a minimal surface whose boundary is the wire-frame. However, the term is used for more general surfaces that may self-intersect or do not have constraints.

Comparative analysis of two structural shells To study the structural behaviour of the minimum surfaces in comparison with the column and flat slab structure, two sample models with dead load and live load of 500 kg/m2 as continues point load has been analysed in the karamba3D plugin. Span structures and the columns in both models are identical and consistent with the intended final design. The results of this analysis are: 1. In terms of Material Utilisation analysis, the minimum surface at its condition withstands 38% tension to 29% pressure. In comparison, the slab and column shell withstands 92% tension to 95% pressure, indicating that the surface Material collapses. As a result, the minimal surface in these openings is three times stronger then the slab and column to withstand pressure and tension. 2. In the second stage of analysis, Displacement was estimated by the original ar 34 cm in the minimal design of the surface and 71 cm in the flat slab and column system.. 3. The third stage of the analysis, cross-section, was performed 3while the study assumed the use of 30% of material Utilisation was considered, and as a result, the minimal surface was optimised from a thickness of 10 cm to 60 cm; while in the system of the slab was estimated from 10 cm to 110 cm.

SEMGA Official-Commercial Complex
The “Shiriki” kilim of Sirjan wove like a carpet with a knot, in which the fabric is used only to connect the threads and is hidden behind the lint of the kilim. The sheer texture of the screw is as tricky as a rug. Shiriki has led to traditional, personal, and tribal uses and implies tribal, unique, and traditional identities in each area. The visual and artistic richness of Shiriki kilim for Sirjan caused it to be selected as the basis for designing this project.
Kilim weaving is one of the oldest handicrafts developed in the Iranian ecosystem. The kilim has more basic production methods and more limited colors than carpet. As a result, kilim designs are more straightforward and have simpler patterns. Unlike carpets, kilim weaving has many different methods, and each method has its own techniques. This variety is beautifully seen in kilims of other regions of Iran and creates a spectacular collage of different colors and geometric patterns.

Cultural Heritage and Tourism Investment Group (SEMGA) is one of the subsidiaries of the Tourism Finance Group, which has started investing heavily in the tourism industry. We discussed the contextual strategy in the current project and the policy of paying attention to indigenous art and cultural heritage on a local scale in several meetings with the employer group. The result was the desire for a kind of eco-oriented architecture that uses symbolic elements of indigenous art. , To become a symbol of modern urban identity for Sirjan. The artistic expression obtained in this project, on the one hand, is in the art of kilim weaving and the unique motifs used in it by the people of that region, and on the other hand, in the great history of using bricks and unique brick decorations of Iranian architecture.

This project was defined in order to accomodating the administrative departments of the environment and develop the complex of office buildings in the Pardisan Park site located in the northwestern part of Tehran. At the employer’s request, a tower was defined at the end of the sidewalk and the complex of office buildings of the environment to accommodate the employees of the administrative department. By considering the physical structure of the space and the location of the project, which means locating in the pardisan park complex, which was used as a protected area for the conservation of endangered species during recent years and also the function of the building as an official building, the design team considered the influential parameters in order to create an identity for this building. Also, considering the field of activity of the building as a host of service providers in the field of environment, an attempt was made to place visual identity and function as a system together as two inseparable components in the body of the building.

The area of Iran includes different climates and vegetation. With this idea, an attempt was made to accommodate four different climates in the four voids in the four main directions of the building. These empty voids will accommodate several floors of the building in each wall. They will also have a significant impact in terms of stability, helping to moderate the temperature of the building and purify the indoor air of the buildings. In subsequent attempts, four different climates were combined into green walls with the idea of miniature paintings on four high walls in four mentioned voids. These spaces were also used to provide welfare and entertainment services for the well-being and comfort of employees. Then, in order to correlate the set of these voids and present it as a set, they were connected with ramps. Also, in the lobby of the building, as an integrated space, places for employees to rest were considered. Due to the natural slope of the project site and the high altitude code of the northern part compared to the southern part, an attempt was made to make the parking lot of the complex, which is located along the western side of the sidewalk, a green roof with a natural slope around the building which Connects the southern part to the northeastern part. The roof of this parking lot as the fourth wall in the design of urban space and landscape, which has been abandoned for years and did not have a desirable appearance, can work with the designed space of the park as a landscape design complex.

Considering the function of the building, which was an office building for environmental workers and Iran includes a wide range of climates and vegetation, at the request of the employer who imposed the original oval shape, the members of the team came up with the idea of four gardens looking at four different climates in four main geographical directions relative to the building started a brainstorming session in collaboration with each other to develop the idea for resenting to the client. In the end, due to the disconnection of the tower with the complex, a bridge was built in the northeastern part to connect the complex of other buildings and the park with the tower. The building wall was designed as a two-shell façade for sustainable architecture and energy conservation to be used as an energy storage as a Trombe wall. In the middle of the tower, a floor was considered as a terrace and a collective space, as well as the location of the middle facilities, to which the bridge is connected from the eastern part.

In this option, which is created and derived from the second alternative design process, the use of changing the angle between the two passages created at the site (perpendicular to the Shaghayegh street and parallel to the high-pressure cable) plays a more prominent role. By defining The one-piece roof, which cuts the backbone of the project, creates a dynamic diagram to represent the entrance on the one hand and penetrate the northern part of the site, which is separated from the service section, on the other. The created parallelogram creates an integrated roof of the space structure. In addition to being an adjustable bed for the interference of open, semi-open, and closed industrial spaces, it can be a space needed for events and exhibitions. Using the flexibility of brick surfaces and creating positive and negative arcs that are reminiscent of soil and arching with bricks, what has happened on the site for decades and also in our whole land for thousands of years is reproduced. The ground surface softly turns into walls and ceilings and reflects the complex morphology of its site in the architecture of the building. These brick arches create cave-like spaces at their orthogonal intersection; as a result, they make the atmosphere of the spaces inside the brick kiln. This building tells the story of what happened on its bed in modern language and leaves the quality of the lost space as a legacy for the future.
