IMAGE-BASED PROCEDURAL MODELING OF FACADES

Pascal M¨uller, ETH Z¨urich, Gang Zeng, ETH Z¨urich, Peter Wonka, Arizona State University, Luc Van Gool, ETH Z¨urich / K.U. Leuven

This paper describes algorithms to automatically derive 3D models of high visual quality from single facade images of arbitrary resolutions.

DESIGN PATTERNS: ELEMENTS OF REUSABLE OBJECT
ORIENTED SOFTWARE

Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides

Designing object-oriented software is hard, and designing reusable object oriented software is even harder. You must find pertinent objects, factor them into classes at the right granularity, define class interfaces and inheritance hierarchies, and establish key relationships among them

NEW ARCHITECTURE AND TECHNOLOGY... GYULA SEBESTYEN

The book explains how buildings and cities have evolved to meet the needs of people who use the latest technology. Architects not only use the new and modern software but also build the design and structures using modern techniques which helps improve the ideas of materials.

BRIDGING THE GAP Rethinking the Relationships of architect and engineer... VAN NOSTRAND REINHOLD

The book explores the history of the split between the engineer and the architect, their current relationship and models for future interactions. We will explore the history between the architect and the engineer, describing their varying perceptions of space, materials and technology.

ARCHITECTURE AND SCIENCE... GIUSEPPA DI CHRISTINA

The articles in this book concern the topological approach in architecture which has developed progressively throughout the last decade.

ISLAMIC STAR PATTERNS IN ABSOLUTE GEOMETRY CRAIG S. KAPLAN University of Waterloo and DAVID H. SALESIN University of Washington and Microsoft Corporation

a set of tools built on the axioms of absolute geometry for exploring the design space of Islamic star patterns. Our approach makes use of a novel family of tilings, called "inflation tilings," which are particularly well suited as guides for creating star patterns.a method for creating a parameterized set of motifs that can be used to fill the many regular polygons that comprise these tilings, as well as an algorithm to infer geometry for any irregular polygons that remain.

FEATURE-BASED CELLULAR TEXTURING FOR ARCHITECTURAL MODELSJustin Legakis Julie Dorsey Steven Gortler

Cellular patterns are all around us, in masonry, tiling, shingles, and many other materials. Such patterns, especially in architectural settings, are influenced by geometric features of the underlying shape. Bricks turn corners, stones frame windows and doorways, and patterns on disconnected portions of a building align to achieve a particular aesthetic goal. We present a strategy for feature-based cellular texturing, where the resulting texture is derived from both patterns of cells and the geometry to which they are applied
