- This paper maps design systems, a mode of operations formulated by Dsearch, a design computationR&D unit at White arkitekter AB. The authors also discuss the organisational learning resulting fromfacilitation of architectural design with computational methods and development of bespokeworkflows. Two design system cases are described using assemblage theory, as developed by ManuelDeLanda. This materialist ontology is found useful, both in terms of research reflexivity and descriptiveclarity. The authors critically assess their position as insider action researchers; rather than perceivingacademic knowledge as necessarily distinct from practical, the paper shows that knowledge producedin design practice, research and development in practice, and academic research, differs in degree -not in kind. Design computation management is considered an emergent mode of architecturalpractice, beyond the specific aspects of form making - bridging project, development and researchdynamics. The research and design methodologies laid out here should be read as steps towards anepistemological foundation for prototype driven organisational learning with respect to designcomputation in architectural practice.

- In this paper we address the problem of knowledge management in architectural design computation practice, reflecting on our practice at Dsearch - a design computation network within White arkitekter. As a means to investigate relevant aspects of visual scripting, we introduce the notions of code, algorithm and note. We also introduce two different modes of operation within architectural practice: morphology and development - which help us distinguish the diverse knowledge types typically occurring in the structure of visual scripts. We describe two sets of tools developed by Dsearch to continuously integrate planning and documentation with design development work. The main conclusion from our practical experience of this approach is that it allows critical reflection into an efficient workflow. This constitutes a new kind of practice based and action oriented knowledge that can be curated in the form of design narratives.

A Collaborative Model for the Design and Engineering of a Textile Hybrid Structure
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the IASS Annual Symposium 2017.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2016 and 2017 a master class was held at the Hafencity University Hamburg (HCU) which focused on collaborative design and engineering methods using textile hybrid structures as a case study.After an initial design competition where individual student groups explored design and modelling techniques, the winning design was chosen as a case study to build to scale. The challenge was then to set up a parametric work flow which allowed a large number of students, divided into expert groups, to work on one single design model. The expert groups covered the fields of design, form-finding, structural analysis, material testing, detailing, manufacturing and project management. A collaborative workflow template was set up, which equally addressed complex analysis as well as the need for continuous geometric adjustment to achieve a model which interactively functioned on design, structural and material level.The paper will discuss the workflow models, including the principles that allowed the iterative development of the initial and final form finding, detail design and fabrication planning, as well as material testing across different computational design platforms. It will also provide an overview of the development process through a design narrative. In order to critically discuss the key methods supporting communication between architects and engineers within computational design development and secure project specific design processes, a productive learning environment for all members involved was established.The built case study structure will be exhibited in the foyer of the HCU during the IASS conference.

Daylight autonomy and facade design : From research to practice for the Stockholm SEB Bank head office
- 2014

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Glazing-to-wall area ratio (GWAR) is one of the key parameters determining energy use in office buildings. Excessive fenestration areas not only yield significantly higher energy use, they are often associated with glare problems yielding a wasteful solution, where blinds are down while electric lighting is on. Future near-zero energy office buildings will have a reasonable GWAR to optimize the balance between good daylighting and low heating and cooling loads while providing a satisfying work environment with good view out. Starting from this evidence-based knowledge, White arkitekter developed innovative building facades for the SEB Bank headquarters in Stockholm, using advanced parametric modelling, where glazingto-wall ratios were optimized as a function of orientation. Other aspects of the design included: 1) adaptation of building functions in relation to orientation to avoid glare, 2) use of self-shading principles adapted to orientation, 3) increase of the window-head-height to maximize daylight penetration, 4) tri-dimensional angulation of facade elements allowing diffuse indirect daylight reflections and intermediate light transitions, 5) modulation of GWAR according to floor level. This paper presents the innovative architectural design proposal and discusses the process used to translate the evidence-based knowledge into an innovative building design using parametric modelling supported by advanced simulation and modelling tools.

Architectural Prototypes
- 2008
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This licentiate thesis is design driven, partly based on case studies in the form of experimental design projects developed mainly within the research and design collective Krets. It constitutes the first half of a PhD project that studies new technologies and techniques within design processes and the production of architecture, especially in relation to collaborative models. Specific aspects of architectural design processes are formulated, tested and evaluated within this framework. Key elements within the design process are targeted, through their impact on social, cultural and technological aspects. The continuous tool for this investigation is the prototype, which operates as a base for collective work, a probe, a tool for communication and an archive. It is not necessarily a physical artifact, but can also exist as a system or a set of rules. It is important that the prototype becomes a protocol for communication between collaborating interests in the design process.The thesis is divided into two parts; the Contexts book and the Projects book. The two books are intertwined through a system of references, and are meant to be read together. The Contexts book explores contemporary discourses within the field of digital and projective design and new forms of architectural practice through two articles. The Projects book is deploying selected parts of design processes from projects developed by the author in collaboration with other architects as well as student work from studios taught by the author, and traces a discourse based on advanced parametric design methods and architectural effects.

Architectural Prototypes II
- 2012
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This doctoral thesis is situated within the digital design field of architecture, and is a continuation of the licentiate thesis Architectural Prototypes: Modes of Design Development and Architectural Practice, presented at the KTH School of Architecture in 2008. The doctoral thesis investigates the current status of the digital design field of architecture, and identifies a number of related discourses. Within this field, it identifies a period of formation, which in recent years has turned into a process of reformation. It contributes to this ongoing reformation by proposing two alternate areas of future practice and research within the field. A speculative approach is considered to be important for a continued mode of exploration within the field, and is suggested as away to bring new scope to the digital design field. A number of key terms from the field of science fiction studies have been investigated to support the construction of a speculative framework for further development. A strategic approach is regarded as crucial to the way new design potentials that have emerged within the digital design field to be implemented into general architectural practice, and to further inform the field itself. Key concepts have been imported from the field of strategic management in the formulation of a framework for digital design strategies. The notion of the prototype, as explored in the previous licentiate thesis, resurfaces as a prototypical approach, which could be equally employed in the speculative approach and the strategic approach.The doctoral thesis is also situated within the field of research-by-design, in the way architectural design projects have been facilitated as contextualized experiments, selected, documented and aligned in regard to terminology, and analyzed through a series of design project enquiries.

Arkitekters Verktyg : en kritisk diskussion om betydelsen av verktyg i förståelsen och skapandet av arkitektur
- 2012
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Bakgrund Den tekniska utvecklingen av verktyg för gestaltning och utformning inom arkitektur och byggande har sedan introduktionen av CAD på arkitektkontoren under 70- och 80-talen gått snabbt framåt. Parallellt utvecklas informationsteknologi för projektering, produktion och förvaltning som syftar till att industrialisera produktionsapparaten. Här är informationsstandardisering och modellering viktiga beståndsdelar. För de praktiserande arkitekterna är det viktigt att kunna följa, förstå och ta ställning till denna snabba utveckling.Projektbeskrivning Denna publikation i Arkus serie Litteraturöversikt syftar till att ge verksamma arkitekter och andra parter inom byggnadsbranschen inblick i dagens situation i Sverige och internationellt, och en förståelse för de möjligheter som ligger framför oss, med internationella exempel från framkanten av fältet inom både praktik och forskning. Utgångspunkten tas i gestaltningsarbetet och designprocessen, men utvidgas till att omfatta metoder och tekniker som knyter an till branschen, marknaden och samhället i övrigt. Områden är mycket komplext, och är dessutom till vissa delar knutet till leverantörer av programvara och teknik. En översikt kan därför inte bli heltäckande, men punktvisa djupare beskrivningar är nödvändiga för att materialet inte skall bli alltför generellt. Fältet är under ständig utveckling, och publikationen kommer att ge en översikt av situationen idag, med en fördjupning i en diskussion om vad som ligger framför oss. Underlaget finns inom internationella publikationer, men kommer även från verksamma arkitekter och systemutvecklare. Litteraturöversikten kompletteras därför med artiklar, intervjuer och exempel från svensk och internationell forskning och praktik. Grafiskt material kompletterar texterna för fördjupad förståelse av verktygens uppbyggnad och dess påverkan på arkitekturen.
