Reconstructing A Pattern Language: Emergent Asian Cities and Airports Transformation, Analogy with American and European Cities

Tse, S.S.L, Lin, V.Y.C, and Chien, S.T

Proceedings of the Twelth International Conference on Design Computing and Cognition (DCC’26)

Abstract and links

A fundamental friction in urban analytics exists between subjective human-centric experience and objective measurable functionality. This paper aims at decoding the morphological and social implications of airport-driven development through a hybrid design methodology integrating the qualitative principles of Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language with the quantitative rigour of Space Syntax. The research analyses altered accessibility, connectivity, intelligibility, and public spaces in rapidly transforming Asian cities undergoing airport expansions or new constructions, and situates them against American and European counterparts. The findings reveal a critical mechanism of "Structural Compatibility": in Bangkok, an "Integration Gap" marginalises airports as isolated logistical zone severed from the city’s "Path" structure. Conversely, Hong Kong and Shenzhen illustrate how high-integration corridors can artificially engineer "Functional Symbiosis", mimicking the organic integration in cities like New York and New Jersey, while London relies on a structural "Integration Plateau". The paper concludes that airport-driven urbanisation is most successful when intense accessibility and functional public spaces converge to form distributed "Activity Nodes" , which only stabilise where spatial integration aligns with social opportunity. Ultimately, this research contributes a generative topological tool that restores "design agency" to the planning process, enabling the shift from maximising logistical capacity to verifying "Civic Integration".

以蒙地卡羅樹搜尋與生成式AI支援設計初期決策

林裕傑

Abstract and links

建築設計的初期階段兼具關鍵性與不確定性，設計決策在資訊有限的情況下，深刻影響建築的性能、可行性與美學。現有計算設計工具雖能輔助分析，但多依賴線性流程，限制了大規模探索與人機協作的潛力。本研究提出一個以蒙地卡羅樹搜尋（Monte Carlo Tree Search, MCTS）為核心的計算設計框架，結合生成式人工智慧（Generative AI），以平衡系統化搜尋與創造性生成，支援概念設計階段的決策探索。透過建築立面設計案例，展示其在反覆取樣與評估中的應用。研究結果顯示，MCTS 能有效支援在不確定條件下的結構化決策，而生成式人工智慧則提升了視覺詮釋與設計溝通。兩者結合形成一個資料導向且具創造性的工作流程，為早期建築設計中理性分析與創意整合提供方法論基礎。

AI-Augmented Parametric Façade Design: Exploring MCTS for Early-Stage Decision-Making

Lin, V.Y.C., and Shih, S.G.

Nexus Network Journal, 27(619-638)

Abstract and links

This paper explores the concept of integrating generative AI and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) into facade design processes. The integration is envisioned as a collaboration between the machine and architect, leveraging the unique strengths of each. The proposed workflow uses MCTS to estimate the potential impact of design decisions on embodied carbon and thermal performance. Selected solutions are visually presented to the architect using generative AI. A simplified orthogonal architecture facade design process validates this approach. Our key findings indicate that the MCTS-assisted workflow may facilitate a broader exploration of design solutions and supports informed decision-making in the early design stages. The integration of qualitative visual feedback alongside quantitative data offers architects a more holistic understanding of design options.

On the Math-inspired Sustainable Skyscraper Design

Lin, V.Y.C., Lin, J.Y., Shih, S.G., Chuang, G.L. and Tan, D.H.

Nexus Network Journal, 25 Suppl 1(87-94)

Abstract and links

This paper discusses how mathematics can inspire and streamline design concepts to integrate form, structure, performance, and construction. It is illustrated by a case study of a sustainable and reconfigurable skyscraper designed by graduate students. The design incorporates logarithmic spirals, Penrose tiling, and topological interlocking, and is modeled generatively.

以拓撲互鎖切入循環設計

林裕傑, 施宣光.

Architecture Science, 26(1-10)

Abstract and links

循環設計是循環經濟的核心，強調產品生命週期該具有再生的重要性，能夠反復修復、再利用、回收或改造。隨著邁向淨零碳排成為國際目標，循環設計的重要性變得更加突出，設計與營造的建築思維必須有所改變。通過拓撲互鎖（Topological Interlocking）這個設計原則，建築單元通過單元幾何形狀與排列方式由其相鄰單元提供約束定位，就有機會避免在建築尺度上過度依賴水泥砂漿等粘合劑。減少在組裝時的粘合劑用量，意味著建築單元可以在需要時拆卸並在其他建築項目中重複使用，從而產生符合循環設計核心理念的建築產品。在本文中，介紹了一系列拓撲互鎖（TI）系統及其在建築循環經濟方面的潛力，並提出了在建築以租代買的想法。

機械手臂陶瓷3D 列印開發流程探討—以手沖咖啡濾杯設計為例

Abstract and links

陶瓷材料應用於日常生活的產品除了本身材料的功能性優點外，在工藝及歷史上有著其獨特且迷人的地位。隨著科技的演進，機械手臂除了於工業上取代人力之應用之外，其多軸向及自動化工作流程結合參數式設計方法，更擴展了陶瓷3D 數位製造的可行性。本研究即運用機器手臂多軸向控制的優勢，以參數式設計作為設計工具結合陶瓷3D 列印技術進行手沖咖啡濾杯設計及製作。從研究結果可知，經由實驗測試及修改機械手臂路徑以參數式設計整合規劃路徑生成的方法，確實可以成功列印出參數式陶瓷濾杯，但陶土材料本身的不確定性及手臂進行3D 列印的侷限是設計過程中必須考量的重點，後續研究會進一步將設計、實驗參數及咖啡濾杯萃取流速連結，使參數式陶瓷咖啡濾杯符合客製化的紋理表現及個人喜好的需求，將能更有效地幫助此技術之拓展及開發。

Optimizing Robotic Systems and Strategies for Digital Manufacturing of Experimental Wood Joinery Structures

Lin, Y.C.

Abstract and links

Traditionally, the making of wood joinery is a very laborious and time-consuming process which requires a wealth of knowledge and experience. In this age of advanced technologies, how can robots, digitalization and parametric design be leveraged to empower a designer in manufacturing? Using methods of digitalization to establish a relationship between digital and physical world, thus enabling a digital design workflow that is not just pure digital, but also informed by the physical world information. This paper documents the learning process and research of practising wood joinery structure manufacturing in an age of digitalization and automation.
