Call for Co-creation
The call regards co-creation of content for Working Sessions.
The conference welcomes co-creation of content to be discussed and further developed at the conference, regarding "research urgencies" (emergent research priorities) relevant to the conference’s theme. With focus on the role of computation to interconnect in and for Architectural Design, the theme is organized in three main streamlines:
- Interconnections across Knowledge Domains;
- Interconnections across Scales;
- Interconnections across Questions.
You may see the Conference Theme-page for more information on the Conference theme.
------
The call for co-creation is as per following 4 stages process:
1st stage – MAIN TOPICS:
- SUBMIT A TOPIC PROPOSAL: Proposals about topics can be submitted in form of extended abstracts (see template). Each proposal includes the names of 5 to 10 experts who support the proposal.
- JOIN THE SHARED PLATFORM: Selected proposals will be made visible within an online platform (forum-like). All teams of the selected proposals will be granted access to the platform and will be able to see all selected proposals. In the platform, each team may join the thread of their proposal and initiate a discussion about the proposed topic.
2nd stage – SUB-TOPICS:
- SUBMIT A SUB-TOPICS PROPOSAL: The selected topics will be announced publicly on the conference website. For each topic, proposals for sub-topics can be submitted in form of extended abstracts (see template).
- JOIN THE SHARED PLATFORM: Selected proposals for sub-topics will be added in the platform. The authors of the selected sub-topics will join the platform and their topic’s discussion threads.
3rd stage – OUTPUT:
- GROW YOUR WORKING GROUP: Each topic’s thread is meant to grow a 2023 CAAD Futures Working Group. Each 2023 CAAD Futures Working Group will be composed by the authors of the selected proposals and eventual new invited experts; and will have a leading coordinator agreed with the Conference Organizers.
- DEBATE: In the online threads, each working group will share interactive discussion and brainstorming sessions in the months prior the conference. (Short updates from each working group may be made public time-to-time for visibility prior the conference.)
- REPORT: Before the conference, each working group will produce a short (1-2 A4) report on the outputs (see template) to be discussed at the conference; meant as starting point for a working session at the conference.
4th stage - CONFERENCE WORKING SESSIONS:
Based on the output of this online collective process, the conference will include a number of working sessions where each 2023 CAAD Futures Working Group together with the conference participants will further develop ideas, elaborate and report on each thread. The output of the conference working sessions will result into a body of content around each topic, which is intended for publication in form of (collective) report with position papers tackling open problems.
(NOTE: Initial submissions are meant to provide the basis for this collective process. It is important to realise that during this collective process initial submissions may merge, disappear, evolve. Also, it is important to realise authorship will be shared and ideas will be evolved collectively, depending also on active participation. Do not submit confidential or otherwise sensitive material)

See below a summary for each one of the 11 topics. For any eventual doubts on the topics, feel welcome to contact the conference organizers.
TOPIC 1 - Participatory Design in the Metaverse for Sustainable Habitats This topic calls for studies that focus on collaboration and co-creation in Participatory Design, which involves both expert and general intelligence in design and decision-making processes for the aim of synthesising top-down and bottom-up approaches. The studies should consider citizens not as passive consumers and recipients of architectural services and aids, but active contributors and experts on the daily life of the city. Contextualised in sustainable habitat production, this topic problematizes traditional client-contractor modes of exchanges and explores alternative stakeholder-driven models, examining how emerging Metaverse tools may assist or fail in the process. Provides Ng, Eli Joteva, Alberto Fernandez, Hira Zuberi, Ya Nzi, David Doria, Artem Konevskikh, Kaf Ng |
TOPIC 2 - Post Carbon - how to align UN SDGs to teaching and research in Computational Design. An increase of the worlds population to 10 billion people by 2050 will consequently also mean an increase of the building sectors contribution to climate change. Currently our sector uses globally most of natural resources (~60%), produce too much emission (~50%), and waste (~50%) – all are interlinked. This proposal aims to address this through re-thinking the role and focus of computational design research and education and how we can address through our work the UN Sustainable Development Goals. M. Hank Haeusler, Dagmar Reinhardt, Tim Schork, Anastasia Globa, Daniel Yu, Nicole Gardner, Cristina Ramos Jaime |
TOPIC 3 - Multi-species and multi-scalar urban ecologies. The human impact on urban areas continues to be a challenge that is only accelerated by climate change. Human habitats are at the same time habitats for other species, but are they still ‘natural’, or even supportive of life forms? A better understanding is needed for natural urban processes, more-than-human relationships, multi-species justice and how we can conserve and expand biodiversity in our urban ecosystems. This includes development of approaches and infrastructures or scaffolds for integrative ecologies across multi-species and multi-scales in our urban settings, from dense inner cities to the vast and regimented landscapes of suburbia. Dagmar Reinhardt, Tracey Woods, Henriette Bier, Dieter Hochuli, Danielle Celermajer, Hamed Alavi |
TOPIC 4 - Machine Learning Data for Architectural Design. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the most promising technology to transform ever-increasing data into valuable knowledge, upon which decisions and actions are made to resolve the world's biggest challenges. In accordance, AI in architecture is progressively used to analyze the built environment, while the informed-design decisions are further supported by intelligent modeling tools. To develop state-of-the-art AI for architectural design, extensive and reliable data is the key, due to the data-driven nature of modern AI. In this co-creation event, AI experts and designers exchange ideas to approach “data sparsity” problem when it comes to the machine learning datasets for AI in architecture. Seyran Khademi, Casper van Engelenburg, Fatemeh Mostafavi, Özgün Balaban, Theodore Galanos, Zack Xuereb Conti |
TOPIC 5 - Human Building Interaction and Digital Twinning Humans are evolving with technology whether we like it or not. To explicitly face this reality, and actively seek to understand it, we can maximize the success of this co-evolution. The Center for Intelligent Environments supports development of a new field – human-building interaction (HBI) – which represents unique collaborations between many disciplines – architecture, engineering, computer and data sciences, human factors, and psychology, and more. The most exciting implications of the emerging field of HBI are the possibilities for optimizing automation in buildings for many goods - safety, security, worker well-being and sustainability to name a few. The work conducted by CENTIENTS, and TRAX, will evolve into opportunities for the development of sentient Digital Twins and the feedback loops including automation/AI to redesign our lives and interactions with the built environment. David Gerber; Azam Khan; Burcin Becerik Gerber |
TOPIC 6 - Information Management across the Lifecycle of 3D Objects. The accelerating urbanisation rate in society faces the challenge of sustainability, including issues relevant to land administration and management, taxation, etc. In this scene, spatial data play an important role, especially as the increasing awareness of location services spotlights their exploitation. Specifically, structuring and organising spatial data into an efficient (and standardised) data flow in order to be shared between actors and phases of the SDL and widely used to support decision making, represent a challenge within the AECOO industry. Today, data in the built environment is rarely shared due to technical, legal, cultural, and business reasons, hence interdisciplinary collaboration based on standards needs to be further supported. Eftychia Kalogianni, Peter van Oosterom, Efi Dimopoulou, Jesper Paasch, Abdullah Alattas, Jörg Blankenbach |
TOPIC 7 - Computational Design: a mandatory skill or a specialized role in the AEC? The need for digitizing the entire process chain in the AEC industry has created requirements for a computational designer. However, with the advent of such a specialist role, the industry is struggling to categorize it either as a content specialist or a process specialist. Therefore, the main aim of this discourse is to investigate and define the role of computational designer in project teams and design process. The purpose of the debate is to understand the different perspectives of the industry experts regarding computational designers through open discussions. The study will support the increasing demands of industry stakeholders concerning efficiency, flexibility, speed and quality of a design process to deliver better informed design solutions. Pieter Schreurs, Anagha Yoganand, Ginevra Nazzarri, Gijs Joosen |
TOPIC 8 - Are graphs the new BIM? The way knowledge is represented influences how the design is explored and analyzed. Current object-oriented data models are rich in terms of semantics and geometric information; however, relationships between data as well as data validation or reasoning are not the primer goal of such models. In this session, we will elaborate on graph data models as an extension to current object-oriented building information models. We will investigate several topics, including data modelling strategies, data interoperability issues, co-design with graphs, evaluation of graph data models for the AEC industry, data federation, etc. Furthermore, we will elaborate on graphs' complex queries that can help recognize violated design constraints from the early design stages. Diellza Elshani, Thomas Wortmann, Pieter Pauwels, Michela Turrin, Wassim Jabi, Greg Schleusner, Jeroen Werbrouck, Navid Hedayati, Edlira Kalemi Vakaj, Tanya Bloch, Guy Austern, Esra Bektas |
TOPIC 9 - AEC Decentralised Autonomous Organisations. The Architecture-Engineering-construction Decentralised Autonomous Organisations aim to change the AEC industry from a resource extractive, fragmented, unproductive industry into a productive, integrated, regenerative industry. This topic of co-creation will explore the structure, impact and immense potential that blockchain technologies have in having an impact within the AEC space, more so when questions of permanence and digital scarcity are ever more urgent in the industry as we see the emergence of the metaverse as a field for architects to structure new spaces for human activity. Theodoros Dounas, Davide Lombardi, Shree Laxmi, Simon Prokop, Jiri Vele, Mayur Mistry, Richa Gupta, Daniel Hall, Jens Hunhenvicz, David Bucher, Wang Hongyang |
TOPIC 10 - Algorithmic Community Construction. What is the potential for shared construction to create community? What factors impact this construction of these physical assemblies and communities? What is the impact on the space and the participants afterward? Is there an “identity” which arises for participants as agents of the physical and social results of the collaboration? This Co-Creation brings together four practitioners who seek to create community through shared construction of physical spaces / objects following algorithmic rules with a respondent to drive an examination. It is hoped that a greater understanding of the creation of community and individual identity through construction will be gained. Duane McLemore, Molly Claypool, Gilles Retsin, Xavi Aguirre, Emmanuelle Chiappone-Piriou |
TOPIC 11 - Incremental Media Empowerment: Establishing Voice through Communication Narratives. The architectural profession is driven by research and data, architects tasked with making informed decisions with regard to a confluence of factors, motives, and needs. To understand the breadth of considerations, architects must communicate both verbally and graphically with a wide variety of audiences, and piece together information related to clients, investors, developers, users, community members, and political actors. There are a wide array of media that professionals use to conduct research, communicate with involved parties, and synthesize information to inform their design. Given the breadth of other skills and education objectives across the architectural curriculum, what is the priority of research and data synthesis within design education? Michelle Pannone, Margaret McManus, Randy Damico, Kimberley Hagan, Kate O'Connor, Rebecca Dolgas, Meghan Strevig |
