Mosteiro Romero, M.A. (author), Quintana, Matias (author), Stouffs, Rudi (author), Miller, Clayton (author)In a global context of increasing flexibility in the way workplaces and the districts in which they are located are used, there is a need for occupant-driven approaches to plan urban energy systems. Several authors have suggested the use of agent-based models (ABM) of building occupants in urban building energy simulations due to their...journal article 2024

Stouffs, R.M.F.A. (author)Shape grammars come in a variety of forms. Algebras of shapes have been defined for spatial elements of different kinds, as well as for shapes augmented with varying attributes, allowing for grammar forms to be expressed in terms of a direct product of basic algebras. This algebraic approach is extended here to the algebraic derivation of...conference paper 2016

Stouffs, R.M.F.A. (author)A description grammar, in conjunction with a shape grammar, serves to generate verbal descriptions of designs, next to the spatial descriptions. These verbal descriptions can also assist in guiding the generative process. This paper revisits applications of description grammars found in literature and demonstrates how they can be recast and...journal article 2016

Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)Description grammars represent a formalism for generating verbal descriptions of designs, used in conjunction with shape grammars. A description grammar constitutes a set of description rules that define a language of descriptions. A description grammar interpreter implements the mechanisms to interpret descriptions and description rules, apply...conference paper 2015

Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)We present an overview of seventeen different accounts of the application of description grammars (or description functions), characterizing them according to their role in the grammatical design generation process and according to their representational specification. The objective and intended use of this overview is twofold: firstly as a...conference paper 2015

Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)This paper explores a generalized specification for descriptions and description rules, on the basis of an extensive overview of applications of description grammars in literature. The aim of this research is to establish a formal representation for description rules and the implementation of a grammar interpreter that supports the specification...conference paper 2014

Janssen, P. (author), Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)This paper investigates the state-of-the-art with respect to simulation-based planning support systems in order to draw a set of requirements and best practices for an urban planning and design framework that enables multiple stakeholders with differing perspectives to systematically explore design options, leveraging the latest analysis and...conference paper 2014

Turrin, M. (author), Stouffs, R.M.F. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)In this paper, alternative approaches to structure the parametric geometry in relation to information on various performances are described and exemplified. They relate to different levels of knowledge that concern the performances considered in the process and which are available to the designer while the parametric model is being set....conference paper 2013

Stouffs, R. (author)Grammar formalisms for design come in a large variety, requiring different representations of the entities being generated, and different interpretative mechanisms for this generation. Most examples of shape grammars rely on labeled shapes, a combination of line segments and labeled points. Color grammars extend the shape grammar formalism to...conference paper 2012

Janssen, P. (author), Stouffs, R.M.F. (author), Chaszar, A.T. (author), Boeykens, S. (author), Toth, B. (author)This paper describes the use of property graphs for mapping data between AEC software tools, which are not linked by common data formats and/or other interoperability measures. The intention of introducing this in practice, education and research is to facilitate the use of diverse, non-integrated design and analysis applications by a variety of...conference paper 2012

Turrin, M. (author), Von Buelow, P. (author), Kilian, A. (author), Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)In this paper we address performance oriented design applied to adaptive architecture in order to satisfy the performance requirements for changing contextual conditions. The domain of adaptive architecture is defined and specific focus is given to form-active architecture, in which geometric changes occur as a means of adaptivity during the use...conference paper 2011

Beirao, J.N. (author), Duarte, J.P. (author), Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)The aim of the City Induction project is to develop an urban design tool consisting of 3 parts: an urban programme formulation module, a generation module and an evaluation module. The generation module relies on a very generic Urban Grammar composed of several generic grammars called Urban Induction Patterns (UIPs) corresponding to typical...journal article 2011

Venancio, R. (author), Pedrini, A. (author), Van der Linden, A.C. (author), Van den Ham, E.R. (author), Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)This paper aims to describe and exemplify the developed concept of ‘designerly’ ways of simulation. Despite the relevance of architectural decisions on thermal and energy performance, the design support frequently relies on qualitative information, which sometimes can be inadequate to specific design situations. Simulation can enhance the...conference paper 2011

Venancio, R. (author), Pedrini, A. (author), Van der Linden, A.C. (author), Van den Ham, E.R. (author), Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)This paper is part of a research that aims to develop simulation methods to support the architectural design practice. To do that, we need to understand how envelope design decisions are taken, which methods are more frequently used and which design definitions are relevant to take specific decisions. An online survey was developed to get...conference paper 2011
