Study on Natural Ventilation Potential of Ordinary Office Buildings in Guangzhou Based on Architectural Factors

As a traditional architectural design technology, natural ventilation has the functions of improving thermal comfort, indoor air quality and energy saving, which is in line with the architectural development concept of green and healthy buildings.Guangzhou is located in the hot-humid area of Lingnan, where is rich in wind resources and attaches great importance to the natural ventilation of buildings. Natural ventilation potential (NVP) are evaluation indexes that can effectively assist and optimize the natural ventilation design of buildings. With abundant relevant studies at home and abroad, various NVP evaluation indexes and calculation methods have been proposed, and strategies for natural ventilation design of buildings in different regions have also been given. Based on the parametric building performance simulation platform, this paper introduces s new NVP evaluation method to carry out parametric simulation research on the ordinary office buildings suitable for natural ventilation in Guangzhou. The results showed that the main factors that limit the NVP of ordinary office buildings in Guangzhou is condensation in summer, and low building density, building toward southwest, high glazing ratio or cross ventilation will bring about high NVP. Meanwhile there is an optimal value for the thermal resistance of the roof, and the greater the thermal storage coefficient of the main material, the greater the night natural ventilation potential.

Inference of Drawing Elements and Space Usage on Architectural Drawings Using Semantic Segmentation

Artificial intelligence presents an optimized alternative by performing problem-solving knowledge and problem-solving processes under specific conditions. This makes it possible to creatively examine various design alternatives under conditions that satisfy the functional requirements of the building. In this study, in order to develop architectural design automation technology using artificial intelligence, the characteristics of an architectural drawings, that is, the architectural elements and the composition of spaces expressed in the drawings, were learned, recognized, and inferred through deep learning. The biggest problem in applying deep learning in the field of architectural design is that the amount of publicly disclosed data is absolutely insufficient and that the publicly disclosed data also haves a wide variety of forms. Using the technology proposed in this study, it is possible to quickly and easily create labeling images of drawings, so it is expected that a large amount of data sets that can be used for deep learning for the automatic recommendation of architectural design or automatic 3D modeling can be obtained. This will be the basis for architectural design technology using artificial intelligence in the future, as it can propose an architectural plan that meets specific circumstances or requirements.

Mixed reality (MR) technology has attracted increasing interest in the architecture and construction industry since the commercial availability of head-mounted MR devices in 2016. With its ability of overlaying digital building models in real construction sites, building owners, architects, engineers, and contractors have quickly recognized the value of MR technology in on-site architectural visualization, construction planning, and as-built verification. Although a few industry practitioners have piloted some initial tests, no thorough reviews on such uses have been reported in the existing literature. To bridge this gap in the body of knowledge, this study aims to evaluate the use of MR technology in architectural design and construction layout through a comparative review of commercially available MR applications. The study employed two HoloLens devices that were attached to a hard hat to meet construction safety regulations and identified nine MR applications developed for architectural and construction purposes. The capabilities of MR technology within these applications were evaluated and compared under different on-site conditions for architectural design and construction layout. It was found that among the various MR capabilities, while some are common features that offer basic information and navigation, several are unique but essential to provide an effective and successful on-site experience for architectural and construction uses. In addition, the limitations of MR technology and the head-mounted MR device for on-site uses were discussed. This paper provides timely and empirical information to help practitioners and researchers better understand MR technology for the architecture and construction industry. Key words: Mixed reality, technology, application, architecture, construction.

The Application of UAV Oblique Photography Technology in Architectural Design

It is difficult to realize the coordination analysis of the new building and the surrounding original buildings with the traditional architectural design method, in which the site survey often stays in 2-D stage. In order to solve these problems, we use various instruments and equipment to conduct experiments, such as Phantom 4 RTK. It is proved that using the Oblique photography technology to design 3-D real-time modeling auxiliary building helps to integrate the building and the surrounding environment during the design stage, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of the building design, and improving the harmonious between the architecture, human being and nature.

Information Processor: Digital Form with Computational Means

How computational technology start to take place and gradually become being heavily involved/implemented in the design process of architectural design. In the architecture domain, not only the proportion of the assistance from computational techniques has been increasing exponentially, but also, the role they play has been gradually shifting from a supporting one to a generative one. No longer limited to being a complex mathematics calculator, computers, have become a ubiquitous necessity in our daily life and even influence the way we live. This, is especially true for the young generation who were born in this digital world, mainly referred to as the “Generation Z”. Business Insider, a fast-growing business media website, mentioned that “Gen Z-ers are digitally over-connected. They multitask across at least five screens daily and spend 41% of their time outside of school with computers or mobile devices, compared to 22% 10 years ago, according to theSparks & Honey report.” When Alan Turing first invented the room-sized “Turing Machine” to decipher Nazi codes, he couldn’t have expected that this giant machine could one day be put into one’s pocket and efficiently compute a million times more data. As compared to the era of tools, such as paper and pen, the computer, in today’s context has been heavily utilized and relied upon as a powerful instrument. This change is remarkable, considering the relatively short period of time, especially after 1981 when the first IBM personal computer was released (Mitchell, 1990). Architecture Design cannot be excluded from this inevitable technological tendency. Even the most conservative architecture firms are now required to deliver digital technical drawings to communicate amongst designers, clients, and construction firms in the present scenario. Incorporating computer technology in today’s context also provides young designers the opportunity to experiment with creating relatively complex geometry based architectural space. But before applying this powerful technology in architectural design, the crucial knowledge behind it that architects had to understand and realize was the manner and procedure of “Processing of Information”. Without information, the computer would be just lying on one’s desk as a useless cube, like a vehicle without a driver, or a body without a soul. The shifting roles of computer technology in architectural design are obviously defined by the manner of how designers interpret, digest and operate/process the streams of information flow.

Search-Based Web Service Antipatterns Detection

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is widely used in industry and is regarded as one of the preferred architectural design technologies. As with any other software system, service-based systems (SBSs) may suffer from poor design, i.e., antipatterns, for many reasons such as poorly planned changes, time pressure or bad design choices. Consequently, this may lead to an SBS product that is difficult to evolve and that exhibits poor quality of service (QoS). Detecting web service antipatterns is a manual, time-consuming and error-prone process for software developers. In this paper, we propose an automated approach for detection of web service antipatterns using a cooperative parallel evolutionary algorithm (P-EA). The idea is that several detection methods are combined and executed in parallel during an optimization process to find a consensus regarding the identification of web service antipatterns. We report the results of an empirical study using eight types of common web service antipatterns. We compare the implementation of our cooperative P-EA approach with random search, two single population-based approaches and one state-of-the-art detection technique not based on heuristic search. Statistical analysis of the obtained results demonstrates that our approach is efficient in antipattern detection, with a precision score of 89 percent and a recall score of 93 percent.

대형의료기관 건축물에 대한 저탄소 녹색 친환경 설계 방안에 관한 연구

최근 환경부의 조사결과에 의하면 대규모 종합병원 대학병원(58개소)의 실내 공기질이 유지기준을 초과한 것으로 나타났다. 내부 공기질은 물론, 병원 규모의 증가와 병원 건축물 대형화에 따른 친환경 건축물 설계와 저탄소 녹색 설계의 필요성이 절실히 요구되고 있는 상황이다. 특히 각 의료기관의 건축물에서 발생되는 이산화탄소, 발열, 쓰레기, 폐에너지, 발전소 배열, 하수열 등의 증가로 인해 병원 환자를 비롯한 병원 고객의 건강에 많은 문제점을 가져다주고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 대규모 의료 단지에 건설되는 각각의 건축물이 가지는 의료기관으로써의 특성을 고려한 저탄소 녹색 친환경 건축설계에 도입되어야 하는 기술 개발과 각 의료 건축물 간의 유기적 관계를 고려한 녹색 친환경 건축디자인 기술을 융합적으로 개발하는 것을 연구목표로 한다. According to the recent research results of the Ministry of Environment, the indoor air quality of large general hospitals and university hospitals(58 hospitals) exceeded the maintenance standard. On top of such indoor air quality, it is also desperately required to have the environment-friendly building design and also low carbon green design in accordance with the increase of hospital size and enlarged hospital buildings. Especially, the increase of carbon dioxide, heat, garbage, waste energy, exhaust heat from power plants and sewage heat in each medical center brings up lots of problems to the health of hospital patients and customers. Thus this study aims to convergently develop the green environment-friendly architecture design technology concerning the organic relations between each medical building, and technical development which should be introduced to the low carbon green environment-friendly architecture design based on the characteristics of each medical center in large-scale medical complex.

Complex concrete structures: Merging existing casting techniques with digital fabrication

Over the course of the 20th century, architectural construction has gone through intense innovation in its material, engineering and design, radically transforming the way buildings were and are conceived. Technological and industrial advances enabled and challenged architects, engineers and constructors to build increasingly complex architectural structures from concrete. Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques have, more recently, rejuvenated and increased the possibilities of realizing ever more complex geometries. Reinforced concrete is often chosen for such structures as almost any shape can be achieved when placed into a formwork. However, most complex forms generated with these digital design tools bear little relation to the default modes of production used in concrete construction today. A large gap has emerged between the possibilities offered by the digital technology in architectural design and the reality of the building industry, where actually no efficient solutions exist for the production of complex concrete structures. This paper presents construction methods that unfold their full potential by linking digital design, additive fabrication and material properties and hence allow accommodating the construction of complex concrete structures. The emphasis is set on the on-going research project Smart Dynamic Casting (SDC) where advanced material design and robotic fabrication are interconnected in the design and fabrication process of complex concrete structures. The proposed fabrication process is belonging to an emerging architectural phenomenon defined first as Digital Materiality by Gramazio & Kohler (2008) or more recently as Material Ecologies by Neri Oxman [1].
