Avoiding the Color Gray: Parametrizing CAS to Incorporate Reactive Scripting

Encouraging Community Participation in Design Decision-making through Reactive Scripting - a general framework tested in the smart villages context

“…The framework is a tripartite synthesis: reactive scripting prioritises modelling that emphasises behaviour rather than data and engages the citizen as the essential 'designer in the loop'; abstracted expert knowledge is integrated as the expert's understudy; and rich visualisation and interaction comes via computer game techniques (Figure 1). The framework is predicated in work that extends reactive scripting to built environments design (Burry, Cruz & Kimm 2019). Reactive scripting, which originates within the computer science reactive programming paradigm, propagates information within a program's state through relationships linking reactions to events (Boussinot & Hazard 1996).…”

Steering into the Skid

“…The architect-in-the-design-loop can provide this understanding and as well accommodate cultural nuance (Burry et al 2019;Woodbury et al 2017).…”

Actual and experiential shadow origin tagging: A 2.5D algorithm for efficient precinct-scale modelling

“…The model tests the algorithm as part of a reactive scripting for design workflow. Reactive scripting for design inserts input of the user, being either the designer or non-expert stakeholder, as a vital decision-making step within iterative, self-referential digital workflows 12 (‘Designer in the loop’ and related terms have gained currency in recent years; I see reactive scripting for design to be in this paradigm). The technique makes explicit those cohering parameter connections that are the essence of a design scenario and allows adjustment of those connections.…”
