style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:120%;font-family:Calibri;color:#2D2829">The
simulation of physical reality is a necessary
preoccupation of the architect, engineer, builder
and systems specialist. For centuries, simulations
have existed in the form of heuristic techniques
used in establishing rules of thumb for architecture
and design. These drawings, physical mock-ups,
models, and other forms of mediated representations
were surely satisfactory, but rarely optimal. In the
twenty-first century, architecture benefits from the
availability of near-immediate performance
simulations executed during the design process and
enabled by advanced computation software and rapid
prototyping. In this context, prescriptive codes and
standardization give way to hybrid models that
integrate design goals, site and climate conditions,
available resources, and building systems. Whether
used for construction sequencing, parametric design
comparisons, or structural, lighting, air flow and
energy analysis, these simulations generate large
amounts of complex performance data requiring a
rigorous interpretation of results.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:120%"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:120%;font-family:Calibri;color:#2D2829">All
good simulation models however, —whether made of
sticks or bits—necessarily simplify in order to
isolate and test relationships. Increasingly,
digital simulation platforms operate as scripted
add-ons, linking simulation engines to design
software and embedding default values for
building-based parameters. So doing, they rapidly
generate performance data albeit with less user
specified information. Feedback is immediate,
results are plentiful, and queries are customizable,
even when user expertise is limited. And while it
appears the integration of data and performance in
design has never been more accessible, the process
is also more susceptible to false results from
incorrect parameters and the blind acceptance of
black box output. As we embrace the role of
simulations in supporting generative design, we
invite a critical evaluation of their assumptions,
fidelity, limits, and potentials.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:120%"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:120%;font-family:Calibri;color:#2D2829">Designing
increasingly smarter, integrated, and efficient
systems requires a nuanced understanding of the
benefits and constraints of simulations. How might
we assess whether they truly result in better
performing buildings? Rarely studied post
construction and almost never evaluated from the
perspective of end-users, how do we know if
completed works of architecture actually perform to
their simulated measures? What are the standards by
which we might validate and establish consensus for
parameters needed to construct increasingly
elaborate models? How might methodologies in
collateral fields inform our approaches to
architectural simulations? And most critically, in
what way are designers expanding the objectives of a
practice historically driven by engineering economy?
Beyond measuring “efficiencies”, how can simulations
disrupt the process of design itself by transforming
the very way in which we communicate, collaborate
and legislate? And how might simulations help us
define and generate improved architectural outcomes?

a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to
the advancement of scholarship in the field of
building technology, with a particular focus on its
translation, integration, and impact on architecture
and design. TAD solicits, captures, and shares new
knowledge in how we think, make and use technology
within the building arts. Published articles feature
primary research in emerging materials, construction
techniques, design integration, structures, building
systems, energy, environmental design, information
technology, digital fabrication, sustainability and
resiliency, project delivery, the history and theory
of technology, and building technology education.
Aimed at researchers, educators, and practitioners,
the journal advances and transforms the current
discourse on building based technologies with the
goal of expanding, reimagining and challenging its
role for architecture and design.
