“…In this regard, to better understand the opportunities offered by the application of computational design approaches in the construction sector, the following studies regarding their application to the building energetic and structural performance simulation and optimisation deserve to be cited. Some research [44] [45] achieved promising results related to building form and envelope design in the function of incident solar radiation and thermal performance. Furthermore, the benefits of the implementation of advanced computational approaches in this field are confirmed by the work of Dino et al [46] where they are used to develop an image-based 3D reconstruction pipeline for the semi-automated generation of 3D models and to build energy models.…”

When dealing with complex curved geometries and massive datasets linked to linear infrastructures, manual generation and maintenance of related multidisciplinary BIM models and documentation are yet to be fully automated. This research focused on the integration of BIM and computational design into an intuitive approach for the generation of as-built models of mechanised tunnelling projects, leveraging the use of the real-time data collected by TBM. A preliminary study of the parameters was conducted to describe the curved geometry of the tunnel, then their mutual alignment was followed by the identification of additional relevant information. To automate the tunnel's BIM-based modelling process, a system of four coupled algorithms was developed and tested with a sample TBM dataset. The results demonstrate how the adoption of computational design methods drastically enhances the modelling process for infrastructure projects, allowing for the on-demand generation of as-built BIM models, reducing time and errors.

“…The north side facade of the sunlight room is provided with high windows that can be opened and closed, and mechanical ventilation devices are installed at the high windows. The sloping glass top surface reduces the angle of incidence of the sun and captures more solar energy [6]. The high windows that can be opened and closed, the high-rise porch and the glass roof together constitute the greenhouse effect and the chimney effect.…”

Mountain dwellings rely strongly on topographical conditions and are sometimes limited by terrain. A strateg is proposed for a passive solar building design in a Taihang mountainous area to utilize flexibly good sunshine and natural ventilation for the building and to organize a shady courtyard next to the mountain to form a cold source of the outdoor environment. This design has made a positive attempt for the application of passive solar building strategies to mountain dwellings.

“…Regarding sustainability, certain building forms are naturally more effective than other forms, at this point, compact forms come to the fore [20]. Additionally, building forms can be optimized in terms of environmental performance, for example, to reduce solar radiation [21] or to increase energy efficiency [22].…”

To date, few studies have provided an understanding of the interrelations between forms and key design parameters in supertall towers (equal to or higher than 300 m). This vital topic was examined through data collected from 140 supertall cases, considering height, location, function, load-bearing system, and material as the main parameters. Key findings of the paper highlighted the following: (i) in 300-399 m high towers, mostly prismatic, setback, tapered, and free forms were used; (ii) tapered forms were generally preferred in Asia, while the prevalence of prismatic and free forms was noted in the Middle East; (iii) while tapered form was preferred most in mixed-use function, office towers were generally built in free form; (iv) prismatic and tapered forms were generally utilized in supertall cases with tube system, whereas tapered and free forms were utilized more in towers with outriggered frame system; (v) while reinforced concrete was commonly used in prismatic and setback towers, tapered and free tower forms were mostly built in composite. This paper is considered to be an initial guideline for key project and construction stakeholders.
