Even though a large variety of innovative façade technologies has been developed to refine the control of solar radiation and increase the amount of useful natural illumination, their effective implementation in buildings is still uncommon. Increasing the awareness of designers to their existence and facilitating an understanding of their potential thus appears as a priority. An important step in that direction is to make the search and selection process more intuitive. This paper proposes a way to address this issue with a new database format. It focuses on the generation of visual strategies to express technical aspects and performance data with a more intuitive and architecturally based language, adapted to a designer's needs and respectful of a realistic design process. The project takes shape as a freely accessible online database of light-interacting technologies for envelopes, available at ***, that provides an efficient meeting space for professionals in the field.

The development of better User Interface (UI) and Tangible User Interface (TUI) for 3D modeling has lasted for decades. With the popularity of free form style achieved by algorithmic methods, the existing solutions of UI/TUI for CAD are gradually insufficient. Neglecting the steep learning curve of algorithmic design requiring solid background of mathematics and programming, the common drawback is the lack of interactivity. All actions rely heavily on mental translations and experimental trial and error. In this research, we try to realize the idea of interactive algorithmic design by developing a tangible calligraphic brush, with this device designer can intuitively adopt algorithmic methodology to achieve highly creative results.
In this paper, a simple and practical method is proposed which enables formfinding analysis of a timber three-way latticed kagome shells and following buckling analysis, using general-purpose FE software without using...

Large-span steel moment frames are used as the main structure in many gymnasiums. Several studies pointed out that significant deflection in such moment frames was caused by inelastic seismic response for horizontal earthquake ground motion. This paper explains how horizontal excitation causes large accumulated deflection, and theoretically formulates the relations between vertical deflection and inelastic deformation. The moment frames made of H-shaped steel is considered herein, where shear yield of panel zones occur in advance to forming flexural yield hinges. Since gymnasiums are used as shelters in earthquake disaster, we need a method to evaluate the structural damage quantitatively, by inspecting and measuring the deformed gymnasium. By measuring the deflection after earthquake, we might be able to estimate the plastic deformation. In this paper, the possibility is discussed using FE dynamic response analysis. The mechanism how horizontal deformation causes accumulated deflection is summarized as follows. In elastic behavior, the moment distribution in the beam for horizontal load is antisymmetric. After forming two yield hinges at two ends of the beam, the moment distribution does not change and is also antisymmetric. In the both cases, the deflection does not increase. However, when only one yield hinge is formed at the leeward side, the deflection increases with the horizontal load due to the change of moment distribution until two hinges are formed. In this paper, bi-linear constitutive relation between the shear strain and moment acting on the panel zone is assumed and theoretical solution on the behavior is derived. The theoretical solution was verified by pushover FE analysis and good agreement was observed. By applying the derived theoretical formulas, ductility factor on the both panels can be estimated from the deflection. Dynamic response analysis was also performed to verify the estimation. This could be a useful method to estimate structural dama

The present paper demonstrates and discusses a potential of steel latticed plates to use as seismic walls, through experimental study. Cyclic shear load tests of five steel latticed plates, composed of equilateral triangular grids, were conducted to investigate buckling and post-buckling strength and ductility. Three of five plates yield out-of-plane overall buckling and the rest in-plane member buckling as predicted. The buckling and post-buckling strengths can be approximated using the generalized slenderness calculated by linear buckling analysis and its function for inelastic strength, regardless to the buckling mode. Moreover, these latticed plates show good ductility and energy dissipation capacity But a disadvantage that the buckling deformation is too observable is also exposed.

Aiming to study the temperature field changes, the House VI project was checked. This house is located in Vila37, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a dead-end small street with only one inlet/outlet. In the houses of Vila37, the indoor ventilation is restricted to the facade windows. Giving the impossibility of introducing cross-ventilation in a traditional way, a short wind-catch was previously added with positive results;therefore, simulations with long wind-catch are being carried out. The analysis started by solving the air-circulation problem by using a finite element method and after, with the wind fields added, the heat transfer problem was analysed. The results obtained were evaluated and compared with the previous ones.
