Description
Summary:This paper focuses on novel interdisciplinary design methodologies between architecture and aerospace engineering in support of drastic required changes for the construction of genuinely resilient and sustainable buildings. Current design and construction methods are rarely truly interdisciplinary; driven by successive development stages as opposed to holistic system views capable of integrating valuable feedback loops into the design process and whole life cycle stages of a building. We address these deficiencies by integrating two methods that have been successfully tested independently. Firstly, the "Virtual Design Studio" (VDS) approach that focuses on holistic architectural design processes, initially funded by the US Department of Energy at Syracuse University and the New York State Center of Excellence for Energy and Environmental Systems. Secondly, the Value Assessment (VA) methodology supported by Visual Analytics in aerospace engineering design cycles, initially funded by the European Commission FP7 through the TOICA project and currently funded by Innovate UK through the APROCONE project, and developed by the Engineering Design Centre at the University of Cambridge.
