Airport Design Based on 3D Graphic Statics One of the most important cities in the United States, Philadelphia has a long history and important political and economic status.The city's gateway, however, has long been criticized for its poor design.The chaotic streamlines and outdated image do not match Philadelphia's ridership needs and city status.As a result, rebuilding/updating Philadelphia Airport has become a hot topic of discussion.

Dr.Masoud Akbarzadeh is a professor with a background in architecture and architecture. He has a unique and in-depth understanding of the combination of structure and architecture.He developed a set of plug-in Polyframe, which can be used for structure generation design. It can reverse the static structure by designing 3D static graphic prototype, which has important guiding significance for guiding reasonable and new spatial static structure.The project is based on the plugin to explore the possibility of using it to lead the skeleton design of large span buildings, such as airports.After designing the mechanical prototype according to the requirements and obtaining the structural prototype, we further developed the results and designed the final large-span airport.

未来机场 | 费城航站楼 T5 作为美国最重要的城市之一 , 费城拥有悠久的历史和重要的政治与经济地位。然而，作为城市大门 的费城机场长久以来因其糟糕的设计被人诟病。混乱的流线和过时的形象无法与费城的客流需求和 城市地位相匹配。也正因此 , 重建 / 更新费城机场已经成为了一个热门讨论话题。 Dr.Masoud Akbarzadeh 是一位有着结构和建筑背景的教授，对于结构和建筑的结合有着独到而深入 的理解。他开发了一套可以用于结构生成设计的插件 PolyFrame, 可以通过设计 3D 静力学图解原型 , 反向推倒静力学结构 , 这对于指导合理而又新型的空间静力结构有着重要的指导意义。该项目基于 此插件，探索在大跨度建筑，例如机场设计中应用此插件主导建筑骨架形体设计的可能性。在根据 需求设计力学原型并获得结构原型后 , 我们对成果进行深化并设计了最后的大跨度机场。

Subdividing the global force polygon in two-dimensional graphic statics is another technique to derive various funicular forms for given boundary conditions.The “external” polygon, representing global equilibrium, is subdivided into smaller polygons using various subdivision schemes.

By laying out the most basic feature the plugin can generate, we can look up features in this 'dictionary'. The future form development is highly based on these simple and efficient basic structure. Combining different subidivision techniques, a simple and clean prototype can be transfrom into amazing forms.

In 3D Grahpic Statics, any cell decomposition of the global force polyhedron that is closed and has planar faces, can represent the equilibrium of a spatial funicular form. Recursive barycentric subdivision of the global force tetrahedron results in various structural forms preserving the same boundary conditions.

Spatial funicular forms can be derived by subdividing not only the external force polyhedron, but also the internal cells of the force diagram.

Consider the form and force diagrams of the compression-only branching structure.

The exploded force diagram and corresponding branching form diagrams after subdivision. The areas of highlighted faces in the polyhedral force diagram represent the magnitude of forces in the highlighted edges of the form diagram.

_ Column Bridge _ Flat Combination

0_ Double Column

0_ Flower

Forms shown above show the study in design process. We try to create some efficient and brand-new forms. Sometime it is hard to coordinating these two element. For instance, the last flower form which is asethically pleasing. However, the too much side forces make the form hard to realize

Detailed Compression-Only Values

At the end of the form, because of the inevitable sides forces, there will need specific constrain to eliminate the side forces. We successfully decreased the volume(value) of the polyhedral side force at the begin of the design process

As the base and the direct connection to the ground, the root members will have to take more pressures.

Our final prototype starts from a extremely simple force diagram. The first column force diagram shows some simple features such as extruding and pipe. What's challenging is the subdivision process. Based on the requirement of the new airport, we add new features to the force diagram and finally got the four sides form shown in the right.

Because of sufficient subdivision around the central circle space, the compressedonly force is share by many small members.

The final airport has an efficient and beautiful structure form system. In our design, we wrap the interior with a complete curved surface to create the feeling of 'heavy.' On the other hand, we can see the outermost layer of the building structure from the outside, which is 'light.' We hope to enhance the airport's design feel with this exciting contrast between inside and outside.

The way of boarding is also different. As the force diagram shows before, we design the force diagram based on the requirement. As we want to provide new boarding experience and combine the boarding with the existing structure, the passengers will get on the plan from the four hole-shape gates at the second. Other programs are mainly on the third floor.

The new mode of transportation gives new airports unlimited possibilities.

The airport is no longer confined to a vast single building. Instead, due to the existence of drones and new boarding modes, each terminal becomes more independent. Streamlines are clearer. All of this provides a better airport experience and better traffic efficiency

The new airport will be connected with the underground directly. People can take off at different gates and go straight up to check-in. People who take the drone can land on the top of the terminal and take the central elevator to their gates. Passengers' luggage goes underground and will transport to the ground directly.

Advanced Logistics + Boarding Termianl Design A new airport typology can help sustain New York City's financial global leadership in the world.

At the same time, the rise of technologically driven retail giants such as Amazon uses distribution networks that channel materials and goods to remote locations that are delivered through existing delivery networks including DHL, USPS, UPS, and FedEx. The airport terminal that deals with passengers and cargo will contribute towards reducing the disparity between cities vying for financial global leadership and New York City. The new terminal will increase the relevance of JFK as a business and logistics hub making a stronger connection to global centers and strengthening development locally.

The project is located at JFK Airport.We deconstruct and study the streamline and aesthetic logic of the TWA terminal in New York designed by Ero Saarinen, the architect of the last century.Design a new portal hub.It will serve as the gateway to the airport, streamlining the passenger and cargo terminals within the terminal, providing a new architectural typology for the airport development in New York City.

先锋货运物流 + 人行登机航站楼设计 新的机场类型有助于维持纽约市在全球金融领域的领导地位。与此同时，由技术驱动的零售巨头的 崛起，如亚马逊，利用分销网络将材料和商品运送到遥远的地点，并通过现有的递送网络，包括 DHL, USPS, UPS 和联邦快递。负责客运和货运的机场航站楼将有助于缩小争夺全球金融领导地位的 城市与纽约市之间的差距。新的航站楼将增加 JFK 作为一个商业和物流枢纽的相关性，使其与全球 中心更紧密地联系在一起，并加强当地的发展。 项目地点在 JFK 机场。我们以上世纪建筑大师 , 埃罗沙里宁设计的纽约 TWA 航站楼为研究对象 , 解 构并学习该航站楼的流线及美学逻辑 . 从而设计一个新的门户枢纽。它将成为机场的入口门脸，在 航站楼内部，乘客流线并将与货运终端有机结合，为纽约市的机场发展提供一个全新的建筑类型。

Prototype Research Regarding Eero Saarien's TWA terminal as our preference. From its openning in 1960s, TWA Flight Center was more than a functional terminal, it was a monument to the airline and a sensational space for passenges to experience.In the last decade, Amazon has grown to be the largest online retailer. A large part of Amazon's success is its very sophisticated and increasingly automaated logistic system which applies matrix sorting and conveying robts with great efficiency and accuracy.

REGIONAL MULTIFUNCTIONAL MUSEUM As the best witness, the first task of museums is trying to keep the last glimpse of history. Ironically, because of some characteristics of the museum, it often becomes an eternal tombstone or the second ruin. Zhalantun once lived with the most booming Industrial period in China with the most advanced technology help from the Soviet Union. However, influenced by the political change in recent decades, the situation changed dramatically. Most of the railways merged into the wild grass, the all the warehouses and the train factories became ruins. Declining of permanent population, lower vitality also make the city suffers a lot. How to use the new museum to meet the necessary exhibition features and make it become the city's activation point is the key in this project.

地域性的多功能博物馆 作为最好的见证人，博物馆的首要任务是保持对历史的最后一瞥。具有讽刺意味的是，由于博物馆 的某些特点，它往往成为一个永恒的墓碑或第二个废墟。在苏联最先进技术的帮助下，扎兰屯一度 成为是中国工业最繁荣的城市之一。然而，受近几十年来政治变化的影响，情况发生了巨大变化。 大部分的铁路都消失在荒野中，所有的仓库和火车工厂都成了废墟。常住人口的减少、活力的降低 也使城市遭受很大的损失。如何利用新博物馆满足必要的展览特色，使之成为城市的活化点，是这 个项目的关键。

This museum is located at the south-west side of the train station in the city of Zhalantun. The north of the site is the centre plaza of this city. And on the southeast hand, a small church and The priest lounge stand at the site area. There are many preserved historic buildings surrounding. These traditional architectures in Russian style were brought here by Russian immigrants who had settled down since the rail construction. The famous rail line at the northeast side is the Middle East Line, which belongs to the huge Siberia Line from Russia to Northeast China . This rail line was built in 1890s with the total length of 2500km. This rail construction not only brought the large population of immigrants but also gave a hand to the rise of cities and towns along the rail line. Those historic architectures were used as the infrastructure including the bus station, working area, locomotive sheds, churches, clubs, hospitals, schools, barracks and a mess of railway residences.

The main design purpose of the museum is to show the city development for the decade without disturbing the existing cultural atmosphere. By visiting this museum, the citizens could learn the industrial and cultural stories about this city.

The space feature of the museum is in the transformation of each exhibition hall.

Vertically, the visitors circulation are separated into three levers but connected by the sloped city viewing corridor and the indoor carriage gallery, which make the different and individual exhibition hall stands in line and become a visiting loop.

The museum totally changed the centre part of the city, from a closed narrow block to a multifunctional city culture plaza. The museum is no longer just a showcase full of the historical treasure of the past but also moving the first step of leading the city to a bright future through speeding up the transfering process.

The museum plaza itself is like a documentary film directed specifically for the city and played on its own facade, watched by the people and the city in the open air.

NEW VIEWING This high raised museum does not block out the sight for people at the center plaza watching the church and other historic buildings, but strengthen the centripetal force pulling the street to this area.

The shape of the museum seems to a huge roof which protect visitors from rains and sunshine. It is also like a giant sculpture assembled by steel frame and train carriages which expresses the urban feature of cultural history from the aspect of view and space.

RENOVATION OF THE MAIN VENUE OF INTERNATIONAL FILM EXHIBITION IN DIESEL ENGINE FACTORY OF PINGYAO This is a project that has won the 2016-18WA China Architecture Award "City Contribution Award" and the 2020 UNESCO Asia Pacific Cultural Heritage Conservation Award.With a history of more than 2700 years, Pingyao is a famous national historical city and a world heritage site. Although Pingyao has long been famous, its tourism features are monotonous, the space and places in the ancient city lack diversity, and the lifestyle of the residents in the ancient city is gradually stagnating.With the renovation of an old diesel engine plant, the construction of a new film palace and the launch of the Pingyao International Film Festival (one of five international film festivals officially approved by the state), the ancient city has received an unprecedented upgrade.

During the festival, the Film Palace provides a high-quality venue for the pre-release of domestic and overseas films, awards, and various cultural exchange projects.While satisfying the inherent functions of the film festival, the Film Palace and the ancient city of Pingyao complement each other, gradually pushing the atmosphere of the ancient city to a climax.After the film festival, the film palace becomes a permanent operation of the cinema, and supplemented by supporting entertainment and cultural content into the film culture square open operation.The factory that used to serve the development of the city, with new culture, new ways and public significance, with the appearance of old neighbors, returns to the mission of the city again, which is far more meaningful and more challenging than the aesthetic tribute.

In this project, I participated in the conceptual discussion of the overall scheme, and was mainly responsible for the design of the outdoor facade transformation design of multiple entrances of the venue, the design of multiple foyers, and the external site and landscape design.

平遥柴油机厂国际电影展主场馆改造 这是一个斩获了 2016-18WA 中国建筑奖“城市贡献奖佳作奖以及 2020 联合国教科文组织亚太地区 文化遗产保护大奖的项目。拥有 2700 多年历史的平遥是国家历史名城也是世界遗产，平遥虽早已声 名赫赫，但旅游风貌单一，古城内的空间场所缺乏多样性，古城居民生活方式也渐行渐滞。随着对 老旧柴油机厂的改造 , 新电影宫的建成以及而平遥国际电影展的开展 ( 国家正式批准的五项国际影展 之一 )，平遥古城焕发了前所未有的升级。 电影节期间，电影宫为海内外电影的预上映，颁奖，各类文化交流项目的开展提供了高品质的场地。 在满足电影节固有功能的同时，电影宫与平遥古城交相辉映，逐渐将古城氛围推向高潮。电影节后， 电影宫成为常设运营的电影院，并辅以配套娱乐文化内容成为电影文化广场开放运营。昔日服务于 城市发展的工厂，带着新文化新方式和公共意义，用老邻居的样子，重新回归城市使命的方式，远 比作为审美的凭吊更有意义，也更有挑战。 在该项目中，我参与了整体方案的概念研讨，主要负责设计了场馆多处入口的室外立面改造设计， 多处门厅的设计，外部场地及景观设计。

Abstract

2D-3D FORM ENCODING WORKFLOW BASED ON STYLEGAN 基于深度学习 STYLEGAN 网络的建筑 2D-3D 形体编码及生成工作流

Based on the state-of-the-art 2D image generation and style transfer algorithm, StyleGan, we propose brand-new strategies of encoding, decoding and form generation between 2D drawings and 3D models, which we name 2D-3D Form Encoding WorkFlow. There are already some 3D model generation algorith. However, their resolution are too low to provide enough information needed in architecture design. We hope this can provide some new ideas and help generate 3D architectural forms in new ways.

Keywords: StyleGan, machine learning, form, 3D, generative design.

Abstract Artificial intelligence is not a new concept, but its development has reached a climax in recent years with the huge increase in computing power brought by high-performance GPUs.The architecture industry is also trying to apply artificial intelligence to design.There has been some research on the combination of two-dimensional drawings with artificial intelligence algorithms.

However, there are few studies on 3D, and even if there are, their pixels are too low to provide sufficient information for architectural design.Based on StyleGan, the most advanced algorithm for 2D image generation and form conversion, we propose a novel strategy for encoding, decoding and form generation between 2D drawings and 3D models, which is called 2D-3D form coding workflow.We hope that this will provide some new ideas and help architects generate completely new 3D architectural forms in new ways.

Keywords: StyleGan, machine learning, form, 3D model, generative design.

摘要 人工智能并不是一个全新的概念，而近年随着高性能 GPU 带来的算力的大幅提升，人工智能的发展 迎来了高潮。建筑界也在尝试应用人工智能到设计中。目前已经有一些研究是关于二维图纸与人工 智能算法的结合。而相关三维的研究却较少，即使有，他们的像素也都极低，无法提供建筑设计中 所需的足够信息。基于目前最先进的二维图像生成和形式转换算法 StyleGan，我们提出了一种全新 的二维图纸和三维模型之间的编码、解码和形体生成策略，我们称之为 2D-3D 形体编码工作流。我 们希望这可以提供一些新的想法，并帮助建筑师用新的方式生成全新的 3D 建筑形式。 关键字 : StyleGan, 机器学习 , 形式 , 3D 模型 , 生成设计 .

Figure 1. Detailed new features in genearted models

1. Introduction Generative design is an essential branch in computational design. In the last 20 years, we witness the tremendous development in parametric design, and there are already several outstanding attempts in pattern generation and form generation in the architecture field. However, most of them are based on pre-design logics, which are predictable. But the fantastic development in machine learning neural network algorithms in recent years brings us brand-new tools in design with the help of high-performance graphic cards. Many design issues can be solved 1

by those new machine learning algorithms. Some of them are working pretty well, such as CNN in facade classification. With so many exciting machine algorithms, more architects and engineers start thinking about the application of machine learning algorithms in the architectural design field, such as building facades generation or floor plans generation, etc.

However, most of the relative works about machine learning applications in the architecture field are working in 2D. Some possible reasons for the lack of a 3D architecture machine learning algorithm are the comparatively lagging development of 3D machine learning algorithms. Compared with 2D images, the complexity of 3D form issues increases dramatically, not only because of the new z-dimension but also because of different methods of 3D form representation such as point cloud, voxel, and mesh. More people realize the importance of 3D machine learning topics. However, most existing algorithms about 3D issues are not satisfying enough. For example, 3DGAN proposed by Wu et al. (2016)[7] can only work on a tiny scale. On the other hand, after years of development in the 2D machine learning algorithm, generating high resolution and new images are entirely possible nowadays.

When it comes to the architecture field, architects always face the issue of 2D and 3D. Every building in the world is 3D. However, when we are working on the construction, people turn to 2D drawings more often.

They get all the building information from 2D drawings, a more straightforward and more clear form that includes accurate information about the building. People are finally building 3D buildings with 2D drawings. This tricky relationship between 2D drawing and 3D model inspires us. In terms of the 3D models generation, instead of using new 3D machine learning algorithms which has poor performance at present, we are thinking of using the more sophisticated 2D algorithm: StyleGan, which has astonishing performance in the 2D image generation and style transfer, to help us generate 2D architectural drawings and then, use them to ’construct’ corresponding 3D architectures. In Figure 1, we can see the high-resolution output result, the style transfer model between one typical high-rise building, and the Sydney Opera House.

2. Relative Work DCGAN Deep convolutional generative adversarial networks are the first GAN which was a major improvement on the GAN architecture, it introduced a more stable training process and higher samples of quality.

CycleGan Compared to pix2pix, CycleGAN no longer needs paired images to train, it only requires an input dataset and an output dataset. In addition, It makes constraints on networks by giving another network to train the output dataset back to the input dataset. The whole process is trying to reach to the goal that the result-input should be the same as the original-input. CycleGAN successfully divided style and content, and it is easy to learn automatically maintaining contents when changing styles.

CGAN and Pix2Pix Conditional GAN is the first attempt to add additional information on both generator and discriminator. This information could be labels tagged on original inputs data, resulting in images with better quality and the controllability of what the output images will look like. pix2pix no longer inputs random noise when training, instead the inputs of discriminator(D) become paired images from class A and B. After training is finished, the output results from class B could be controlled by inputting a new image.

3D GAN Wu et al.(2016)[7] propose the 3D Generative Adversarial Network (3D-GAN), which can generates 3D objects from a probabilistic space based on volumetric convolutional networks and generative adversarial nets.

The resolution of the final model can reach 64*64*64.

As mentioned above, the existing 3D machine learning generative model do not have enough resolution for architectural models. On the other hand, StyleGan, as the state-of-the-art algorithm proposed by researchers from Nvidia can work on images with high resolution(up to 1024*2048). StyleGan is the improved version of ProGan. By introducing progressive training, the method that networks train from low resolution and gradually increase until reaching the max of the target, ProGAN solved the problem of GANs generating high quality and high-resolution images.However, essentially it is a method of generating unconditional data which is hard to control the property of output images. Based on ProGAN, StyleGAN mainly modified the input of each level separately to control the visual features represented by this level without affecting other levels. The lower the level, the lower the resolution, the coarser the visual features that can be controlled. This method helps to generate different levels or multi-layers 3

style-mixing outputs. In addition, instead of using traditional random vector input, StyleGAN introduced Mapping Network and Adaptive. Instance Normalization (AdaIN) to control visual features of the generated image, leading to the effect of truncation trick as a function of style scale.

To translate 3D problems into 2D, we start from sections of 3D models because sections contain very rich information about the target building not only its outline but also its interior space. Instead of just cut the model to get just a few key sections, we cut the target models 64 times to get 64 section pieces. Then get the snapshot of each piece in the resolution of 128*128. After getting 64 drawings, we array them into an 8*8 grid one by one and finally get a 1024*1024 image, which contains the former target model information in the resolution 128*128*64.

Figure 10. Input Training Data

4.1. Training Data Preparation In terms of train data, we pick a few buildings, all of which have either historical value or form value. What we want to do to find out the blending form of different pairs of models in them in the the context of 2D-Image encoding. The detailed pairing strategy and form generation of pairing will be talked later

to do further style transfer. In Figure 12, we find that at epoch 5000, the reconstruction starts to be clear. As the training goes on till epoch 8500, the result is quite satisfying: compared with the result as epoch 5000, results at epoch 8500 contain most details from the input models. And then we start our decoding process.

4.2. Training

4.4. 3D Decoding and Form Generation

With the help of a powerful Nvidia RTX Titan graphic card, we successful train all the input at the same time in StyleGan. Because of the sophisticated source written by Nvidia engineers, after some adjustment by ourselves, we can train several pairs of inputs at the same time as shown in Figure4.2. The left grid shows all the inputs to StyleGan(total of 28 images at the same time), the right part shows details about one single image in the left image grid

As for the output, we first check the reconstruct results. This step helps show the reconstruction result of input images. Generally, when the reconstruction results are good enough, we will use the training model at that step

With the results after 8500 epochs of training when the reconstruction result is quite satisfying, we start the style blending of 2D-Encoding images with continues changing the weight of 2 parent images.

As mentioned before, we use several pairs of images to generate our final forms. The pairing strategy is showed in the table 4.4. We pick several images in the red wirefream from the StyleGan results as decoding source. Then decoding the images into 3D models. As shown in the final generated models(Figure 4.4), we can observe the continues change one model to another modle. These generated models between those 2 input models show exciting new architecture features. For example, in Figure 16, we can clearly see the column-liked form which is the fusion of the column from high-rise building and slab from Sydney Opera.

The series decoding process of our 3D input is shown in

Table 1. Pairing of Input Models

Table 1. Pairing of Input Models There are several other interesting new form in generated models which we have not seen before.

In this paper, by using StyleGan, we successfully reconstruct existing building models through the 2D-3D encoding strategy and realize style blending and generation of new architectural forms based on existing forms. This style blending strategy provides a new idea of architecture design for an architect which expands the boundary of form-finding.

Compared with other relative machine works such as Deep Form Finding proposed by Jaime et al. which use VAE to generate continues changing structure form between two input buildings, our result has way much higher resolutions(128*128*64) compared with theirs(14*14*11) In SG2018, there is a group work call HouseGAN, which is kind of the first application that uses GAN in 3D model design(the paper is still in the writing process). They use the multi-view system to get relative views of the target architecture and then train the image to for form generation. It is clear that in Figure19, we can find the final result is not satisfying enough to recognize the form.

The resolution is only about 32*32*32.

For future work,some predictable improvements are still needed for this encoding strategy. First, the running time issue is still a difficult problem we have to deal with. As mentioned before, the training process of those input Figure 18. Resutl from Deep Form Finding(Miguel et al.) lasts for 10 days in total with 1 single Nvidia RTX Titan. Even though the reconstruct result is satisfying enough for 9 model decoding after 8000 epochs(5days), the running time is unacceptable for the most designers. Sometimes, the running time is also out of control.

Abstract This paper is a summary of the results of an entrepreneurial project.Combined with the rapid improvement of BIM technology and prefabricated component technology at that time, we put forward a new residential construction strategy based on BIM system.After the preliminary investigation, we preliminarily decided to choose Canada as the pilot country. Through the in-depth study of the real estate market in Canada, we found the possibility of unique business opportunities in the design and construction of residential buildings.Based on parameterized software and programming, we designed Rhino model and corresponding Grasshopper file that can generate scheme design drawings with one click according to customer requirements. In the later stage, we cooperated with professional programmers and connected the Demo algorithm to Archicad to generate modular construction drawings.Combined with prefabricated elements, we proposed a new housing construction scheme called X-Home.Customers can design their new home, pay for it, and place an order with a simple operation on a mobile APP.After drawing is generated in the background, all information is directly delivered to the factory to generate prefabricated components, which are shipped to Canada and assembled in the homestead.After the project is delivered, the APP becomes the intelligent control end of the house.The pilot project was selected in Canada.It is expected that within 120 days, a brand new home will be delivered to the client in the selected location.

Abstract This paper presents a new BIM-based housing construction strategy. Based on the detailed researches of the Canadian real estate market, we find the possibility of unique business opportunities in house design and construction. With the help of new construction techniques such as prefabrication and BIM, we propose a brand-new housing construction solution named XHme, which can be applied in Canda. Within 120 days, an all-round new house can be delivered to clients in the selected site.

1. Introduction BIM is a terminology has exists everywhere in architectural field in the last 20 years. It went through healthy development among most developed countries over the world espeically in Europe and North 1

America. On the other hand, China, as a developing country, lags behind relatively in technology such as BIM, but the cheap labor is competitive among the world.

BIM is a terminology that has exists everywhere in the architectural field in the last 20 years. It went through healthy development among most developed countries over the world, especially in Europe and North America. On the other hand, China, as a developing country, lags relatively in technology such as BIM, but cheap labor is competitive in the world.

As one of the few developed countries in the world, Canada has a very high per capita GNP, high-level industrialization, and extremely high-quality life. On the other hand, the relatively slow development of real estate in recent years and the long-lasting gentle pace of life lead to the unsatisfying people’s poor residential quality, especially houses. Some of them are in bad condition, and the long-time lack of maintenance make them hard to be repaired anymore. Therefore, there is a potential requirement for new houses for some Canadians.

Based on systematic research, we develope the product: XHome, a complete housing construction workflow that includes every step from design to delivery.

In summary, this paper makes several contributions that can be helpful in contemporary house design and construction: (1) Developed countries house real estate research; (2) Contemporary house design; and (3) New approach to prefabricated construction.

2. Background Research

gain after training (percentage).

We can do a deformation to the formula: divide both the numerator and denominator by B, and we get the formula 1 (1 − ( 1+E )) ∗ (12 − C) (2) A B + (C ∗ D)

When we focus on the parameter B, we conclude that when B(monthly labor cost(dollars)) is bigger, the ROI is bigger. When the invested labor in the project is bigger, which means a project with bigger size and higher complexity and bigger size of industry companies, the ROI increase.

When we focus on the parameter E, we can conclude that when E(productivity gain after training(percentage)) is more prominent, the ROI is more significant. Higger E means that with a lower unit price of the project and higher reusable rate, the project benefit is higher.

The conclusion derived from the formula matches the conclusion from the current situation investigation. Therefore, it can be concluded that under the circumstances where BIM industry benefits ROI is generally low, the breakthrough point to improve ROI is to improve B(monthly labor cost(dollars)) and E(productivity gain after training(percentage)). Accordingly, we should first, focus on the production of building products and product operation to, and second, focus on project integration and turnkey job management.

3. Market Research To determine the production and target audience, we did large-scale researches worldwide. The final result is the Single Detached House in Canada for the middle class.

2.1. BIM and Prefabricated Building Prospect Building Information Modelling(BIM) is a broad term that describes the process of creating and managing digital information about a built asset. (BIM wiki, 2019). Based on the definition and past researches, we find that the core value of BIM is the dramatic improvement of productivity led by the building information, which has not been fully realized.

Relative survey shows due to the application of BIM; half respondents report the 5% acceleration of the project completion, over a quarter respondents reports the improvement of labor productivity by 25%, and a third of respondents report the 25% reduction of in site labor because of more offsite fabrication.

Meanwhile, the lack of interest and support for BIM and the lack of collaboration on project teams are two main obstacles to promoting BIM. BIM-BAM-BOOM According to the research from an industry authority, Patrick MacLeamy, if we define the benefit of pure BIM market as x, the benefit generated by BIM and BAM can reach to 20x, and the BIM-linkage capital market scale(BAM + BOOM + assess management) can reach to 60x.(cite) However, compared with the market scale expectation of 60x, the real benefit at nowadays building industry is only about 0.3x that has a considerable gap between 60x.

Return of Investment(ROI) When eliminating human’s subjective factors and uncontrollable environmental factors, we can conclude that the project size and the industry size are the main factors of ROI. Meanwhile, we can turn to the equation proposed by Autodesk. In the Autodesk BIM Report(cite), they propose the formula of ROI1.

B )) ∗ (12 − C) (B − ( 1+E (1) A + (B ∗ C ∗ D)

where A is the cost of hardware and software(dollars), B is the monthly labor cost(dollars), C is the training time(months), D is the productivity lost during training (percentage), and E is the productivity 2

3.1. Building Types There are several types of buildings in the markets based on the primary classification method. primary classification method, such as • Single-family detached • Large multi-family (apartments/flats) • Office • Retail • Hotels • Special-purpose buildings • Industrial buildings, • Other In the BIM context, compared with other building types, single-family house has two obvious advantages: lower investment and high reusable rate.

3.2. Market Selection 1. Living Habit North American has the biggest single-family detached house market. Most people tend to choose a single house as the first residential choice.

3

2. Government Review and Approval The land used for housing in North America is private land and can be used for private residential construction. The administrative approval process is complex but procedural.

3. Digital Information North American electronic land information is complete and convenient for data management and automatic plotting.

3.3. Existing Competitors 1. Zillow and Other Second-hand Trading Agencies.

The online data can basically represent the contemporary second-hand house market. Zillow owns about 110 million American household data, which constitutes one-third of the second-hand house market. The market sharing of other big agencies such as Trulia is 15.89%, and Realtor is 19.35% 2. Real Estate Developer The development of real estate is stable in recent years.

3. Existing Prefab-Housing Company Prefabricated house companies are led by Homeowever, followed by many other prefabricated house factory(Clayton, Express Modular, Champion, etc), all of which share the market together.

We get browsing rank results of the leading agency in second-hand markets, Zillow.com and prefabricated house companies, Homeowners.org from Alexa. From the chart, we find the browsing rank of Zillow.com is way much higher than that of Homeowners.org() results(see Figure xxx) show that compared with second-hand house market, the prefabricated house gets way much less attention. On the other hand, it also means immense potential in this field.

3.6. Demand Survey According to the incoming and house price analysis from CMHC DATA, the average price of a single house(2017) in Canada is 713579 dollars, which is 20-years incoming for 63.13% of the population.(see Table 4(a) As mentioned before, there are 1833055 families who need house quality improvement. The number of the completed house every year is 13227 ∗ 4 = 52905. So it will take 34 years to meet all the needs without regard to the new demand in this process.

3.4. Market size estimization The total market trading value in Q1, 2017, is about 823 billion CAD. So the estimated trading volume is about 3992 billion CAD.

3.5. User Requirements Analysis In the Canadian and American markets, the contradiction between the high design and construction costs of single-family homes and the time it takes to build them and the high demand for existing homes.

According to the data from the Canadian residential requirement survey(Figure 3(a)), there are 1392190 families below the line and totally 1392190+233925+206940 = 1833055 families(2011) need improvement in single house quality.

In the house purchasing process, some people in Canda have already taken the high price of architect and construction into consideration. The better choice for them is to sell the old house and purchase a 4

As regards the quality of the existing house, according to the data from , it shows that 84.5% of the single-detached house is built 17 years ago and 55.8% was built 27 years ago. In the real scenario, according to the demographic data(see Table 5(a) ) and house age data(see Table 5(b)), a large number of people are living in houses that much old than themselves.

In brief, the high price of second-hand houses and the number of the new-built apartment with reasonable price can not meet current people’s demand for improving the living condition. The main reason for this problem is (1) long construction time; and (2) high construction price, which beyond expectation.

4. Prodcut Design Based on the research above and combined with our advantages, we proposes the home, a product that can complete all the design process((1) site, house plan, and material selection; (2) building model

In this process, with extremely low learning cost, the user can get the final design of the single-detached house. At the same time, related drawings and tables for other approval procedures are already sent to the related government departments and factories. The fast process not only improve user’s purchase experience but also save the money spent on house design and the unpredictable communication cost.

The whole-chain full-digital production process optimizes the production efficiency and slashes the unit cost. The full-digital model makes it possible for the factory to produce construction components((1) structure system and envelope system; (2) Equipment; (3) Electricity and HAVC) directly also greatly simplify the construction process.

With the advantage of lower labor costs and lower raw material prices in China and a simple approval procedure of shipping, the prefabrication process can be down in China, and the prefabrication product can be sent to Canada by shipping. Chinese worker can take part in the on-site construction and assembly directly through a Chinese service contract, which further lowers the cost.

4.1. Plan Design Based on the researches of existing traditional Canadia detached house floor plans, and combined with small changes in modern lifestyle, we got the floor plan bubble diagram as shown in Figure. This diagram includes all the basic programs needed in a contemporary mid-size single-detached house.

Then, based on a high-quality modern single detached house design, we design the prototype of the floor plans, as shown in Figure6(b). In this process, the deployable quality is given more attention because the plans have to be still functional when the size of the bounding box changes. We give different rooms different deployable dimension, as shown in Figure 7(a). General speaking, the deployable process follow rules that (1) keep the width of the main corridor, small toilet; (2) enlarge or reduce the area of living rooms and bedrooms; and (3) squeeze the area of the space that is hard to use.

4.2. BIM Model Generation In Figure7(b), we test several outputs that have different bounding box sizes but the same diagram manually. These outputs are quite satisfying. Nevertheless, when the size of the bounding size becomes too large or too small, the quality of the floor plan will decrease dramatically. So finally the size range of the bounding box width(w) is set to (10,18), and the depth range(d) is (9,15). And then, for the sake of super fast early-stage development and easier communication with Chinese local consulting companies, instead of using the popular parametric plugin, Grasshopper, we first design the 3D model

Then, we set down the building prototype, as shown in Figure. Next, we turn to Grasshopper, Python, and Archicad as parametric tools. The reason for using Archicad instead of Revit is that Archicad has a more user-friendly interface and requires less amount of computational overhead. Besides, the plugin, GH-Archicad Live Connection, developed by Archicad, provides a straightforward connection between GH and Archicad. Based on the deployable strategy and some basic parameter(Figure 10(a)), we create 3D Archicad parametric model which can export drawings with one click(see Figure 4.2).

As for the factory’s production part, it is still an issue under discussion. There are two may approach: (1) Divide the house by pieces; and (2) divide the house by rooms.

The first experimental city for this project will Vancouver, Canada, for its great demand and feasibility and flexible policies. As shown in Figure 8(b), the red pard are site which has the size in the domain mentioned above(w:(10,18),d:(9,15)). About 60% of the house sites met our setting.

6. Conslusion This project is our team’s first attempt to combine BIM, parametric design, and Internet products at the same time. Even though the project is still in process, after so many researches and works, we have a clearer understanding of the next generation building product. There is no doubt that the advancement of technologies will liberate people from a complicated lifestyle and provide people with a higher-quality life at a lower cost.

To provide the customer’s products within a short time, every chain in this process has to be prepared well. Therefore, the biggest challenge we are facing right now is to coordinate the factories, related governments, and shipping companies. In terms of the technical part, even though Archicad is relatively fast that Revit, but the running time still needs improvement because when the number of customers increases, the stability will be a predictable problem. Secondary development of Grasshopper and Archicad is necessary.

Abstract

Abstract

Autoencoder is a very common algorithm in machine learning. It was first used to find the eigenvalues of image sets and the parameters of compressed images. In this way, the compressed images can be enlarged in reverse to get the images that are almost the same as the original images.This algorithm is then derived and applied to other deep learning algorithms.At the same time, after the development of autoencoders, there are also some better performance of the variant algorithms, such as VAE. In parametric design, a large amount of output is an important characteristic, which helps the architect to choose the best from a wider range of design outcomes.A mechanical graphic prototype of Polyframe (a 3D graphic and static design tool developed by Polyhedral Structures Laboratory) was used as a data sample.This article demonstrates how VAE(Variational Autoencoder) can be used to help enhance the mechanical prototype data set, which can help designers generate the appropriate form in the Polyframe plugin.The algorithm is based on a specific polyhedron diagram and can expand the data set without changing the diagram type.A series of continuously changing polyhedra generated by Vae and their corresponding forms can provide designers with more design choices, which will greatly improve the design efficiency based on three-dimensional static structures.

This paper demonstrates how VAE(Variational AutoEncoder) can be used to help augment PolyFrame force diagram dataset, which can help generate corresponding forms in Polyframe plugins(3D graphic static design tool developed by Polyhedral Structures Laboratory) for designers. Based on several particular polyhedron force diagram prototypes, VAE can help generate new force diagrame prototype dataset without changing the typology. A series of continues changing polyhedron generated by VAE and their corresponding forms can provide more design options for designers, which will profoundly improve the 3D graphic-static-based design efficiency.

1. Introduction 3D graphic static is a novel geometric method of structural design in three dimensions. Based on graphic statics theory, the generated structures have outstanding mechanical properties and novel forms. The first step of this design workflow is to design the polyhedral force diagram. The next step is to generate form diagrams based on the force diagram. The form diagram can become the structure member guidelines. The final step is to generate members with different thicknesses based on the form diagram.

PSL(Polyhedral Structure Laboratory) has developed the plugins which can realize the manual design process.

However, because of the strict requirement of the polyhedral force diagram and the long optimization runtime, the design process always takes a long time. The designer tends to spend much time on articulate the force diagram manually and focus on the rationality of the force diagram at the same time. Especially when the typology is settled down, the continuous modification of the current force diagram to the target one becomes a physical job.

VAE(Variational AutoEncoder) is a generative machine learning algorithm, which was first used to generate continuous changing images according to the inputs(Figure 2(b)). This exceptional quality can be used to help generate continuously changing force diagrams with a specific encoding scheme. The designer can input several boundary force diagram prototypes as inputs and get multiple intermediate transition-state force diagram prototypes. Then, with further subdivisions, the corresponding forms are generated. Then, the designer can evaluate the mechanical property and aesthetic property of the results and pick up the satisfying one.

form diagram results. After getting the satisfying force diagram prototypes, the next step is to add subdivisions to get different curvatures in the generated form diagrams. This step can help enhance the beauty of the form and improve its mechanical properties. With the help of the new Grasshopper plugin, 3D GRAPHIC STATICS, a grasshopper version of PF developed by ETH, the subdivision step can be programmed in different ways quickly, so it is not a big problem now.

Therefore, the challenge lies in providing more force diagram prototypes. Even though there are already several 3D model generation algorithms, such as Point Cloud Gan(Li, et al, 2018)[5] that focuses on point cloud genertaion, or 3DGan(Wu, et al, 2016) [11] that can generate simple mesh models , however, none of them can help generate polyhedrons that can meet the force diagram requirement as mentioned above. Our strategy is to encode the force diagram into a series of digital codings. Then, input these digital codings into generative models to get new digital codings and decode them into new force diagrams.

Take example.1(Eg.1), four simple triangular meshes as an exmaple to illustrate(Figure 3). These four meshes have different forms: different scales and orientation. However, they have the same topology, so when deconstructing them into vertices and faces information, they in fact have the same faces information. What are different are their vertice coordinates. So as long as two meshes have the same topology, they have the same faces information. It is the same with rectangular meshes or 3D meshes. Therefore, when change the mesh vertice coordinates and keeping the faces information, we can create different forms with the same topology. This is the core rule in the following force diagram prototypes generation.

Figure 3. Mesh deconstruction: (a) four different triangle meshes; and (b) vertices and face information of the four meshes

Because of these strict requirements, until now, the most popular way of generating force diagrams is still modeling polyhedral prototype models as force diagrams in Rhinoceros and articulate them based on the generated

In Eg.1, after the meshes are deconstructed, each mesh have three vertices and the coordinate of each vertices consists three numbers. So each mesh can be represented by nine numbers and the faces information(Figure 3).

Since we want to keep the topology, the faces information will be kept unchanged. Only the vertices information will be extracted. As a generative network, VAE can generate new information based on inputs. So our strategy is using mesh vertices information as the input training data, and use the generated output data as new vertice coordinates. In this situation, the vertices are all new. Combining these new vertices and unchanged faces information, meshes with new forms and the same topology are created.

We input four classes of meshes(Figures 2) to the VAE network. Only four meshes in Eg.1 are not enough for the training. To augment the training dataset, aftering encoding each mesh to the 9*1 array, each number in the array will add a small random number and the new array becomes a new input. In this process, the form of the original triangular mesh will change a little, but this change will not change its original classification. In Eg.1, the original 4 meshes are augmented into 2000 mesh input after this operation. After 400 epoches of training in VAE network, continues changing meshes array are generated as shown in Figure 2 . Different training parameters

2. Methodology In terms of the force diagrams design, one of the most challenging issues in augmenting the force diagram dataset is to change the form of the force diagram without changing its essential topology since it also decides the topology of the final form diagram.

A force diagram tends to consist of several polyhedrons. There are several restrictions or requirements of the force diagram, such as (1) thes force diagram should be closed meshes or breps; (2) each surface should be planar; (3) all edges should be connected well; and (4) less side forces are excepted, etc. A minor error in the force diagram may lead to the failure of the form diagram generation.

Figure 6. Inputs simplification (a) a simple tetrahedron, and its vertices and faces information; (b) cull duplicated information; and (c) flatten point coordinates into a 12D array as the input.

Figure 5. (a) & (b) & (c): Triangle meshes generated from VAE with different training parameters

With some preprocessing, this strategy can be applying 3D meshes easily. Take example.2(Eg.2), a simple tetrahedron(Figure 7(a)) as an example to illustrate. A tetrahedron have four faces and for four vertices. However, because of some meshes are non-manifold or not closed, there will be total 12 vertices when deconstructing this tetrahedron. So the first step is to delect duplicated vertices. The final mesh information contains four vertices information and four faces information. Then the four vertices are used as one VAE training input. Eg.2 has four classes(Figure 2). Every two meshes in one class have different height. Different classes have different orientations. In the generation result in Figure 7(b), smooth changing process of 3D mesh orientations and heights showes up. A lot of intermediate-state meshes are generated. The clustering results in Figure 7(c)also shows the success of the training process.

A generated mesh prototype with different subdivisions can generate totally different forms. Some normal subdivison types and examples are shown in Figure 2(a). For simplicity and clarity, Subidvison Type1 is used in this paper. The subdivied polyhedrons are shown in Figure 2(b) & ()c). Then the subdivided force diagram can generate the corresponding form diagram and finally, the pipe form. The thickness of each member of the final pipe form is based on the form diagram. The complete process final form generation is shown in Figure 2. Some 4

other examples are this process are shown in Figure 2.

We also try this strategy in example.3(Eg.3), a simple polyhedron prototype consists triangular meshes and quadrangle meshes. There are three classes. Meshes in one class have the same bottom and top faces, what are different are the face scales. Meshes in different classes have different bottom and top faces. After training for 400 epoches, the generation results in Figures 12(b) show continues changing results. The great clusting result in Figures 12(c) prove the success of the training process.

Similarly, the generated meshes can be used as force diagram prototypes to generate corresponding forms (Figure ?? & Figure 2). The closer look of the generated forms through VAE are shown in Figure 2.

3. Runtime In terms of the runtime, because of the small size of the input data, the runtime tend to be very small. As shown in the Table 3. training dataset in Eg.2 for 400 epoches in Keras Framework only takes 10 seconds. In this aspect, this strategy can be really helpful in future quick force diagrams augmentation process.

time when articulating a force diagram. In addition, as metion above, the training time of the network can be in a extremely short time because of the small input dataset size. So this strategy can be applied in future plugin development easily.

On the other hand, a force diagram will be first modeled in breps. These breps will be transfered to meshes.

All brep surfaces in the two examples in this article are all triangles or quadrangles. They can be transfered into meshes faces that are constructed by three or four vertices. A mesh with more than four vertice will be deconstructed to several small standard meshes. However, there are some conditions that the number of brep surface vertices is large than four. For instance, all faces in a dodecahedron are pentagons. In order to apply this strategy to the dodecahedron, all faces have to be to be converted to triangle meshes or rectangle meshes. In this condition, the topology of the former dodecahedron is changed. Corresponding, the basic stress condition of the force diagram is changed. So our strategy now is limited to force prototypes that modeled well with triangle or rectangle faces. The future work will be extending this strategy to all force diagrams.

Parametric design is now a hot topic in computeraided design. Parametric design provides strong support for the study of variables in the everincreasing world complexity. Basing on the traditional Chinese classical book “Zhou Yi” and its core ides, Yin Yang, focusing on Pavilion Structure as the main study object and the start point, we attempt to set aside shackles of underlying parameters, embracing the uncertainty, take a top-down approach and combine the tradition with the basic working principle of contemporary computers, to expand the study of forms and structures of architecture. Deriving a series of logical possibilities to, we experimentally find the sustainable possibilities and surprises of new Chinese architecture.

These two figures are the generated results of the basic interior layout designs. After we get these results, we can use them directly as a design reference or use the generated bounding boxes, which represent location and scale information of the small parts in a big model to help us in further interior design.

SAGnet SAGnet is another important 3D generative model, which was published in 2018 ACM. Themodel combines several crucial existing 3.2.

2-Way VAE machine learning algorithms, such as RCNN, VAE, etc. In this model, given a set ofsegmented objects of a certain class, the geometry of their parts and the pairwise relationships between them (the structure)are jointly learned and embedded in a latent space by an autoencoder. The

The features output fed into two different GRUs. These GRUs account for the relationships between parts in terms of geometry and structure, exchange information between them using the Geometry and Structure Attention components and eventually output the k 512D features and K 512D features to the 2-Way VAE. Finally, the decoder echoes the encoder with five 3D deconvolutional

Abstract

摘要

Based on the multi-objective optimization genetic algorithm, this paper presents an expendable parametric sunshade pavilion design, which can be changed according to the external environment.The purpose of the design is to provide people with a better outdoor experience.There are two central evaluation values :UTCI(Universal Thermal Climate Index) and DGP(Daylighting Glare Probability).In order to harmonize these two indicators with a particular pavilion form, the author designs specific rules to help find the best unfolding form and corresponding control parameters.

基于多目标优化遗传算法，本文提出了一种可展开的参数化遮阳亭 设计，可根据外部环境改变形式。 设计的目的是为人们提供更好的 户外体验。 有两个中心评价值 :UTCI( 通用热气候指数 ) 和 DGP( 采 光眩光概率 )。 为了使这两个指标与某一特定的展馆形式相协调，作 者设计了具体的规则，以帮助找到最佳的展开形式和相应的控制 参数。

摘要

Nature is the best teacher of people. People learn from birds and invented the plane. Architects learning from insects and invent thin-shell structure. Now bionics design is a hot topic. This project aims to design new structure prototype based on natural structure system. Through rigorous tests, we optimize the final form of the structure and apply it on a tiny house wall. The final wall should be aesthetically pleasant and efficient.

大自然是人类最好的老师。人们向鸟学习，于是发明了飞机。建 筑师向昆虫学习，发明了薄壳结构。目前仿生学设计是一个热门 话题。本项目旨在基于自然结构体系设计新的结构原型。通过严 格的测试，我们优化了结构的最终形式，通过机械臂热丝切割只 做了该墙体单元的混凝土模型，并尝试将其应用在一座小房子的 墙上。最后这堵墙应该是美学上令人愉悦 , 且高效的。

We choose the bird bone as our inspiration. To lessen the weight and keep the mechanical property at the same time, birds evoloved the almost hollow bones strcuture.

Based on the final analysis result, we changed the volume proporation. We increase the proporation of critical part to 25 and lower parts without much pressure

With the prototype, we test the mechnical property in different volume porportions. We have to consider the mechnical property and lessen the prototype weight at the same time.

Our wall peice is a tricky one with a sharp end point at the outside of the whole wall. We do not direct upwards support from the ground

Hot Wire Cutting File Preparation

Volume Proportion:15% Supports: Bottom face Loads: Top Layer Side Surface (5MpA)

Volume Proportion:15% Supports: Bottom face Loads: Top Layer Side Surface (5MpA)

Volume Proportion:15% Supports: Bottom face Loads: Top Layer Side Surface (5MpA)

Based on the simulation, no surprise, the end point of the wall got most pressure. The edge connected with the other wall also needs more support.
