Architectural, Historical and Social Science Perspectives

Research Project 10-1 (RP 10-1)

CO-DESIGN FROM ARCHITECTURAL, HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCE PERSPECTIVES

Our project focuses on the novel potentials and promises of Co-Design-based advances for multi-storey buildings and the social factors that influence their realisation. We will characterise the specific new opportunities they offer and the challenges they face by combining architectural, historical and social sciences perspectives.

Research has shown that innovations in architecture rarely fail because of poor technology, but rather because they do not sufficiently meet the needs and expectations of users, or because they do not adapt to changing social, cultural or economic contexts. Thus, mismatches between architectural approaches, stakeholder expectations, and given institutional frameworks can act as non-technical barriers to innovation that can seriously hamper the chances of realising the full potential of integrative computation for the design and construction of multi-storey buildings.

We will explore and enhance these opportunities by reconsidering the historical shortcomings, failures and societal dynamics of the industrially produced architecture of the 1960s and 1970s, by characterising Co-Design-enabled novel building typologies and morphologies and their functional and aesthetic expressions, and by examining the interactions between the emerging paradigm of integrative design and construction in computational architecture, stakeholder concerns and expectations, competing narratives, and necessary organisational rearrangements.

Constrained urban environments and building stock extensions are challenges for standard timber construction. Co-design promises to better integrate disciplines and processes, promising smaller feedback loops for design iteration and building verification. This article describes the integrated design, fabrication, and construction processes of a timber building prototype as a case study for the application of co-design methods. Emphasis is placed on the development of design and engineering methods, fabrication and construction processes, and materials and building systems. The development of the building prototype builds on previous research in robotic fabrication (including prefabrication, task distribution, and augmented reality integration), agent-based modelling (ABM) for the design and optimisation of structural components, and the systematisation of timber buildings and their components. The results presented in this article include a functional example of co-design from which best practises may be extrapolated as part of an inductive approach to design research. The prototype, with its co-designed process and resultant flat ceilings, integrated services, wide spans, and design adaptability for irregular column locations, has the potential to expand the design potential of multi-storey timber buildings.}, article-number = {16178}, author = {Orozco, Luis and Krtschil, Anna and Wagner, Hans Jakob and Bechert, Simon and Amtsberg, Felix and Knippers, Jan and Menges, Achim}, doi = {10.3390/su152316178}, issn = {2071-1050}, journal = {Sustainability}, number = 23, title = {Co-Design Methods for Non-Standard Multi-Storey Timber Buildings}, url = {https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/23/16178}, volume = 15, year = 2023 }

However, when used in real, augmented, and collaborative environments, new challenges arise that go beyond desktop scenarios and purely virtual environments. Toward addressing these challenges, we present a visualization technique that provides complementary views on the movement and eye tracking data recorded from multiple people in real-world environments. Our method is based on a space-time cube visualization and a linked 3D replay of recorded data. We showcase our approach with an experiment that examines how people investigate an artwork collection. The visualization provides insights into how people moved and inspected individual pictures in their spatial context over time. In contrast to existing methods, this analysis is possible for multiple participants without extensive annotation of areas of interest. Our technique was evaluated with a think-aloud experiment to investigate analysis strategies and an interview with domain experts to examine the applicability in other research fields.}, author = {Pathmanathan, N. and Öney, S. and Becher, M. and Sedlmair, M. and Weiskopf, D. and Kurzhals, K.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1111/cgf.14838}, eprint = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/cgf.14838}, journal = {Computer Graphics Forum}, language = {eng}, number = 3, pages = {385-396}, title = {Been There, Seen That: Visualization of Movement and 3D Eye Tracking Data from Real-World Environments}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/cgf.14838}, volume = 42, year = 2023 }

Current evaluation procedures for AR applications rely primarily on questionnaires and interviews, providing qualitative means to assess usability and task solution strategies. Eye tracking extends these existing evaluation methodologies by providing indicators for visual attention to virtual and real elements in the environment. However, the analysis of viewing behavior, especially the comparison of multiple participants, is difficult to achieve in AR. Specifically, the definition of areas of interest (AOIs), which is often a prerequisite for such analysis, is cumbersome and tedious with existing approaches. To address this issue, we present a new visualization approach to define AOIs, label fixations, and investigate the resulting annotated scanpaths. Our approach utilizes automatic annotation of gaze on virtual objects and an image-based approach that also considers spatial context for the manual annotation of objects in the real world.

In this situation, a broad range of public and private stakeholders place their hopes on the digitalisation of construction, in particular, building information modelling (BIM). The article seeks to destabilise the notion of “the” digitalisation in a synchronic and a diachronic perspective. First, we map out the landscape of digital visions regarding the future of construction by examining pertinent academic, public, and professional discourses in recent years. We identify a vision of industrialised construction, a vision of data-based integration, a vision of singularised architecture, a vision of digital sustainability, and an emerging vision of the “twin green and digital transition.” In a diachronic perspective, we zoom in to UK “BIM-and-beyond” policy from 2011 to 2021 and show how BIM has evolved from a digital design tool into a critical component for building a national system of data-assets for data-based value creation. In both perspectives, we see a recurring storyline according to which the sector will solve all its problems if it only undertakes the digital transformation.}, author = {Braun, Kathrin and Kropp, Cordula and Boeva, Yana}, doi = {10.12759/hsr.47.2022.27}, ee = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/S0129054193000109}, journal = {Historical social research (HSR)}, language = {engl}, month = {12}, number = 3, pages = {81-110}, title = {From Digital Design to Data-Assets: Competing Visions, Policy Projects,and Emerging Arrangements of Value Creation in the Digital Transformation of Construction}, url = {https://www.gesis.org/en/hsr/abstr/47-3/03braun-et-al}, volume = 47, year = 2022 }

  @article{braun2022constructing, abstract = {In this article, we argue that in order to properly assess the potentials, challenges, and implications of the digital transformation in architecture and construction, we need to better understand the political-economic dynamics behind it and examine it in light of the current reorganisation of global capitalism. The focus of this article is therefore on the larger political-economic and techno-economic conditions that are shaping the implementation of digital technologies in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector. Based on document analysis on the digital turn in architecture and construction, along with interviews with AEC professionals, we argue that the logic of platform capitalism is beginning to transform the industry, with Building Information Modelling (BIM) acting as an obligatory passage point and government policies as gate-openers. The article, first, discusses concepts of platform and platform capitalism and indicates how these apply to recent reconfigurations of actor and power relations in the field. Second, it reviews some of the developments in digital architecture from 2D drawings to BIM and beyond. Third, it examines the role of government policies as driving forces in the digital transformation. Forth, it takes a closer look at the case of software producer Autodesk and their BIM product Revit, which illustrates how the logic of platform capitalism has gained traction in architecture and construction. Finally, it concludes that some expectations can be derived from these observations: In the realm of design software, we can expect a further concentration of economic power and a near-monopolistic structure of the market. Moreover, we can expect a shift of focus and investment from architectural design to socio-digital modes of construction and urban planning that benefit primarily real estate owners, investors, developers, and construction companies. Furthermore, we can expect large construction firms to secure themselves a comfortable starting position as early adopters, while SMEs are facing bigger challenges to benefit from the digital transformation. Lastly, we can expect a further encroachment of tech giants and domain outsiders such as Alphabet into architecture and construction, turning buildings and cities into machines for data extraction.}, author = {Braun, Kathrin and Kropp, Cordula and Boeva, Yana}, doi = {10.1017/S135913552200046X}, issn = {13591355}, journal = {arq: Architectural Research Quarterly}, number = 3, pages = {267-278}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, title = {Constructing platform capitalism: inspecting the political techno-economy of Building Information Modelling}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1017/S135913552200046X}, volume = 26, year = 2022 }

Cities and buildings are taking on a dual existence in analog and virtual spaces. What was once planned as a one-off construction project can now be stored, modified, recombined and reproduced again and again with the help of Building Information Modeling (BIM). If, however, urban planning and building designs are increasingly shaped by new forms of digitally mediated spatial production, echo chambers of digitally conceived and perceived cities could emerge. They could lead to an era of platform urbanism driven by large technology companies with access to planning data in BIM. So far, debates about digital capitalism have focused on citizens' use of cell phones and the World Wide Web, on individual clicks and ephemeral preferences, but not on fixed urban structures and the built environment. The next step, however, could be the digital transformation of structural urban development, an extremely robust business for decades to come.

However, it is disputable to what extent, and under which conditions, timber construction can be considered sustainable. The societal discourse in Germany and France is shaped by four competing visions that favor either 1. a positive CO2 balance, 2. a particularly time- and cost-efficient construction process, 3. the use of regional resources, or 4. the creation of uniquely designed buildings as the guiding principle of future timber construction.The construction industry is one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. In view of resource scarcity, climate change, and rapid global population growth, the industry faces the urgent challenge of a sustainable transition. The renaissance of timber as a renewable, carbon-neutral construction material could pave the way for more sustainable modes of building. Taking France and Germany as examples, and based on a sociological discourse analysis, this paper reveals four different and conflicting sociotechnical imaginaries of the future built environment. The four imaginaries show specific characteristics depending on the respective national, political, and cultural contexts. Moreover, they include partially incompatible objectives and compete for discursive hegemony, and thus implementation. Scrutinizing the four competing visions and their approach to conflicts and scarcities raises profound questions about their political, technological, ecological, and social implications.}, author = {Mast, Hanna Sophie}, doi = {doi:10.14512/gaia.31.3.5}, eissn = {2625-5413}, issn = {0940-5550}, itemtype = {ARTICLE}, journal = {GAIA - Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society}, keyword = {Germany, construction industry, discourse analysis, France, timber, sustainable transition of industries, sociotechnical imaginaries, discourse coalitions}, number = 3, pages = {151-157}, parent_itemid = {infobike://oekom/gaia}, publicationdate = {2022-10-20T00:00:00}, publishercode = {oekom}, title = {Conflicting sociotechnical imaginaries of the future built environment: An analysis of current discourses on timber construction in France and Germany}, url = {https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/oekom/gaia/2022/00000031/00000003/art00007}, volume = 31, year = 2022 }

Although there has been a growing number of research focused on trends, benefits, and disadvantages in timber construction from various technical perspectives, so far there is no extensive literature on the trajectory of emerging architectural typologies. This paper presents an examination of architectural variety and spatial possibilities in current serial and modular multi-storey timber construction. It aims to draw a parallel between architectural characteristics and their relation to structural systems in timber. The research draws from a collection of 350 contemporary multi-storey timber building projects between 2000 and 2021. It consists of 300 built projects, 12 projects currently in construction, and 38 design proposals. The survey consists of quantitative and qualitative project data, as well as classification of the structural system, material, program, massing, and spatial organization of the projects. It then compares the different structural and design aspects to achieve a comprehensive overview of possibilities in timber construction. The outcome is an identification of the range of morphologies and a better understanding of the design space in current serial and modular multi-storey mass timber construction.}, article-number = {404}, author = {Svatoš-Ražnjević, Hana and Orozco, Luis and Menges, Achim}, doi = {10.3390/buildings12040404}, issn = {2075-5309}, journal = {Buildings}, number = 4, title = {Advanced Timber Construction Industry: A Review of 350 Multi-Storey Timber Projects from 2000–2021}, url = {https://www.mdpi.com/2075-5309/12/4/404}, volume = 12, year = 2022 }

  @article{Kropp_2024, abstract = {Studies of architectural design practices have shown that building projects take shape through the intricate interactions between human designers and various technological tools. In present-day’s architectural practice, these interactions are increasingly being reconfigured by two major trends that are affecting the future of construction: digitalisation and the imperative to make building processes and the built environment sustainable. Against this backdrop, the paper presents insights from an ethnographic case study on socio-digital co-design practices in the planning and preconstruction phase of an ambitious building project. This research explores how digital tools reconfigure design practices and highlights the ‘reverse salient’ that has limited the realisation of the integrative potential of socio-digital design processes. Using a practice theory approach centred on ‘socio-digital co-design’, the study shows that digital tools reorganise, but do not take over, the coordination practices in early design necessary to achieve coherent results and sustainability outcomes.}, author = {Kropp, Cordula and Boeva, Yana and Braun, Kathrin}, doi = {10.23987/sts.143598}, issn = {2243-4690}, journal = {Science & Technology Studies}, language = {eng}, month = {08}, publisher = {Science and Technology Studies}, title = {Socio-Digital Co-Design Practices: A Case Study on Human-Computer Entanglements in Architecture}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.23987/sts.143598}, volume = {online first}, year = 2024 }

This chapter explores HRC in construction through feminist technoscience, a transdisciplinary field offering distinct ways of thinking about society, technologies, bodies, power, and environment. It proposes new perspectives on agents, agency, and collaboration. It suggests approaches like (1) situated interfaces for multi-agent collaboration, (2) human training of robots on how to adapt to changing conditions via machine learning, and (3) collaborative processes supporting on-the-fly decisions.
