Synopsis

Automation, a mixture of algorithms, robots, software, and avatars, is transforming all types of jobs and industries. This book responds to one critical question for the design and construction industry: how are architects, engineers, and contractors using information technology to further automate their practices? Addressing the use of new digital technologies, particularly parametric automation for design and construction in the building industry, this book looks at how technologically advanced architectural and engineering practices are semi-automating their design processes by using sophisticated algorithms to transform their workflows. The book also documents a set of firms that are further advancing automation by using pre-fabrication, modularization, and custom designs via robotics. Contents t Automating Design and Construction; Green Automation; Engaging with Complexity; Space Planning with Synthetic User Experience; Algorithmic Principles for Façade and Building Automation Systems; Custom Designed Structures and Facades with Parametric-Algorithmic BIM Systems; Parametric-Algorithmic Automated Modeling and Fabrication; Integrated Project Delivery and Total Building Automation; Optimization Algorithms for Building Energy Demand Optimization; Customized Algorithmic Engineering of a Curved Cable Stayed Façade; Siemens Digital (Self-Learning) Factories and Automation; Automated Fabrication and Assembly; Customized Pre-Fabrication in Hospitals; Robotic Fabrication; Automating Design via Machine Learning Algorithms; Automating Construction via n-D Digital Manufacturing; Conclusion.
