01. EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AS APPROXIMATION TOOLS AND HERITAGE EDUCATION Photogrammetry, Augmented and Virtual Reality applied to the case study of the Museum of the School of Architecture at UFMG Final Thesis Project // School of Architecture - Federal University of Minas Gerais // March 2021 The Final Thesis Project is divided into two parts of research and development. The first part was a theorical one, where I investigated the Heritage Education with the perspective of usage of digital technological tools in Brazil. I searched and presented the beginning of the Cultural Heritage in the country, with their corresponding legislation and institution; the Heritage Preservation Charters and its practices related to the use of technology and museological spaces. Furthermore, I did a more specific and qualitative analysis regarding the target audience, the nature of the heritage object and methodology mainly trying to identify if there is a use or not of digital technologies in Heritage Education projects published by IPHAN (National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute). I also presented references of many different projects that aims not only to present the heritage through digital means, but also enable the interaction and definition of the museological experience guided by the visitor itself.

For both parts of the thesis, I use as a study case the School of Architecture's Museum, which has over than 150 pieces distributed in 5 collections. Most of then are plaster replicas, created or acquired for the School of Architecture. For the first semester, I developed a "low-tech" structure as an intervention in the museum's room to encourage interactions and education with the museum's pieces, based on analysis of the relation between identification and belonging towards the academic community and the museum collection. Later, it was developed a "hightech" version of it, creating a Virtual Museum App, that uses mostly Augmented Reality technology and photogrammetry (structure from motion) to convert the pieces in 3D models. Besides that, in the app the user can download and use the models, show the work they are doing, learn different things involving the technology applied and also discover the recent news about it, with videos of tech museums and academic researches from around the world.

PHOTOGRAMMETRY PROCESS Survey of the pieces on display at the School Library:

Initially, the proposal was to make as many photographic surveys as possible of the entire collection to create a significant library of 3D models. However, mainly due to the work development time, the covid-19 pandemic and the difficulty of accessing the library, which could only receive students when an employee was present, by appointment, for about 2 hours, it was possible to carry out the survey. of half of the exposed parts. Those that could be transported to a support table were prioritized, ensuring agility to the process. Although photogrammetry is not a very complex process, it is necessary to pay attention to some points. In the case of the Library's collection, in which the pieces could be moved (with all possible care and only with the use of white latex gloves), a professional camera, model Canon EOS Rebel T5, was used, but it is possible to apply this process with almost all cameras in existence today. The higher the quality of the lens and processor, the higher the quality of the model and textures. A tripod with height adjustment and a support table with a newspaper in the background were also used.

07 //

PHOTOGRAMMETRY PROCESS Survey of the pieces on display at Sala Aleijadinho:

Differently from the methodology used with the replicas in the Library, to survey the Sala Aleijadinho collection, the photogrammetry process was used in two slightly different ways. In the first stage, for the busts of the four prophets, in addition to using the professional camera with the tripod, a cell phone and an extender stick (or "selfie stick", "selfie stick") with a bluetooth trigger were also needed. the upper photos could be captured without the aid of a ladder, considering the narrow space in the corridor where the pieces are located. Furthermore, as it was not possible to move the pieces, the geometric background (newspaper sheets) which helps in the recognition of the software, was delicately applied to the wall behind the piece. The Sala Aleijadinho presents 14 (fourteen) plaster replicas, made by the sculptor and teacher at the Escola de Aristocher Benjamim Meschessi, of works developed by the Minas Gerais artist Antônio Francisco Lisboa Aleijadinho. After the initial experience developed at the Library, with plaster replicas of works present all over the world, we chose to work with the Room due to the significant importance that these works bring to the history of Brazilian architecture as well as to the School itself. Thus, one of the main objectives of this work was to create and make this collection available, in addition to showing the potential use that can be achieved combined with the use of technologies.

// 08

Aleijadinho's room - School of Architecture's Museum

Then, the same process was carried out for the lower parts (5, 9 10, 11, 12 according to the numbering of the plan-diagram), using only the two cameras, a tripod and the stick, and applying the newspaper around the piece, as they are supported directly in contact with the wall. However, as can be seen in the images below, some models were not perfect in their construction for two main reasons: the first was due to the background of the newspaper, as it was distributed only as far as it was possible to reach without using a ladder, and thus, the software could not better recognize the depth where there was none, "gluing" the replica surface to the wall. The second reason was the difficulty in obtaining good superior photos only with the cell phone and without the ladder, affecting the construction of the model and the quality of the applied texture. Both problems are easily solved by improving these aspects.

THE PROTOTYPE AND ITS FUNCTIONALITIES

School of Architecture Menu In this menu, the user will be able to experience, in real time, the Augmented Reality technology through the recognition of the part of the collection and the overlapping of information in the School itself. The information presented is about the plaster replica and its location, the original piece and its location, and also other possible information collected, such as 360 degree photos, educational videos and the author's story (as in the case of Aleijadinho's pieces).

// 10

11 //

3D Collection Menu In this topic, it will be possible to browse through the entire collection of 3D models in the Museum, from plaster replicas to furniture, from anywhere and not just present in the School. In each part, the user will be able to experience basic Augmented Reality functionalities, such as placing the part in the real environment, transforming its scale and rotating; view in Virtual Reality if using the app through VR glasses; view collected content such as 360-degree photos and videos; and still see and add works that have used that particular piece as inspiration. You will still be able to save the model to your own collection, download the 3D model in different file formats to work with and share the part.

// 12

13 //

Discover Menu In the fourth menu, it will be possible to access the latest and most interesting, both in video format and in scientific research, involving the use of technologies as a tool for heritage education and safeguarding in museums. The user will be directed to the Youtube platform to watch the videos and will be able to read, download and share the .pdf files of the scientific articles. At first, the content will be everything found during the research and development of this work, but the proposal is that it is always updated by the museum administration. This update, which can even send notifications to the device informing the app's news, is important for the app to remain interesting for the visitor, especially when there are no temporary exhibitions to vary the interaction. This content will also be available on the Museum's website and in the Annexes of this work.

// 14

Tutorials Menu In this menu, the main tutorials created or selected that help any user to use the technology available in the application and researched during this work will be available, giving autonomy and making it easy to access the reproduction of this technology. In order to make the application lighter, each topic directs the user to a video link on the Youtube platform or to a playlist of interesting videos with subjects similar to each topic. These tutorials will also be available on the Museum's website.

Temporary Exhibitions Menu Finally, the last menu will be responsible for being an ephemeral menu, which will serve to connect possible temporary exhibitions to the user through the application. This is because the types of technologies worked on at each exhibition may vary and change over time. In the example below, a simulation of a temporary exhibition in which the recognition of the panel through the camera triggers the explanatory video of the panel's history produced by the Museum.

THE "LOW-TECH" PROTOTYPE

The object is composed of a wooden tripod (commonly used for floor lamp); a docking base to adapt the structure of the eyepiece to this tripod; a structure that allows you to support and remove the glass when necessary; the glasses, with openings close to the wider end, which will serve as a handle for visualizing the layers of information; and sheets in transparent material with information that can be superimposed on the collection as a whole, according to the interaction between the user and the knowledge of interest.

sheets the glasses tripod adaptation structure tripod

Prototype diagram

The sheets were separated into three groups. Group 1, is composed by the name of the pieces, Group 2, by information of the pieces, for example, where is the original, about the author or about the replica; and Group 3 is composed of some form that refers to the volume or contour of the piece, or even an image with transparency of the original piece, in a way that encourages people to look for the sculpture in question, proposing a greater relationship between the public and exposure from curiosity. This material was printed on transparencies and the layout of the information was determined according to the position of the replicas on each facade of the room. From the definition of the prototype and the projected dimensions, it was decided to make it as a puzzle and by laser cut with 3mm MDF. The prototype was assembled and next to it a banner with the project proposal and a schematic design was exposed for better understanding by the user, in addition to serving as support for the cards to be used. In addition, both in the prototype and in the banner, there is a QR code that directs to the website created with the purpose of disseminating all the digital content researched and created throughout the development of the work.

02. EDIFÍCIO CAETÉS multipurpose architectural complex mixed-use housing // Grade: A // Belo Horizonte - MG - Brazil // 2020 The work started from the architectural-ubanistic diagnosis of the region, with survey, mapping and analysis of the collected data that define the character of the place. A requalification proposal was made for the first part of the discipline for the Caetés Building, former INSS, which has been "empty" for about 15 years. For the second part, the objective was the development of a mediumsized building with an undetermined functional program that integrated with the building previously discussed.

The project proposal developed individually is for a mixed-use building, reinforcing the commercial character of the region on the first floors. Its objectives are to connect the new space to the Caetés Building, integrate the Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and Caetés Streets on the ground floor, re-signifying the use of a fragmented city. In addition, to maximize the number of dwellings in the intervention area and guarantee different spaces for quality collective use.

03. THE PROJECT STARTUP European Innovation Academy team: Mariana (Brazil), Mitchel (The Netherlands), Onna (Germany), Pedro (Brazil) and Sheryl (Canada) designer chief // Cascais - Portugal // july 2019 The European Innovation Academy is a three-week program focused on entrepreneurship and start-up creation where teams of five compete between each others. The teams created had different ideas of all kinds and all of them had to develop the entire idea, from problem to solution, developing a functional prototype, and even pitch to investors.

The Startup "The Project" proposal was to create an agile platform that would connect photographers and videographers to people who needed to hire this service quickly, anywhere in the world. An "uber" for photographers. In addition, the user would receive the raw material produced shortly afterwards, in order to meet the rapid demand for content creation for social media.

// 32

Website created for registration My team and I were mentored by Elijah Murray, Co-Founder and CEO of Matter Product Studio, and Fred Moritz, Creative Art Director at Reval STC and UX/UI Designer. My position at the start-up was Designer Chief. I was responsible for creating the logo, all types of midias for communication, and both users and freelancers' prototypes. The application was first developed for a demonstration at the start-ups projects' fair in order to be chosen by the investors and then improved for the "Final Pitch". The application was developed in the Adobe XD software, seen for the first time during designer lectures offered during the Academy Program. The project was selected as one of the best developed in this edition by Adobe XD representative Jamie Nuzbach.

04. COSTA DA CAPARICA urban sub-division project team: Mariana Fernandes, Nora Varela and Yu-Cheng Hsu // Urban Planing IST - Lisbon, Portugal // 2019

The Costa da Caparica project was developed for the discipline of Urban Planing at Instituto Superior Técnico, in Lisbon. The main challenge was to work as team with people from diferent countries with also diferent skills and personalities. Costa da Caparica is region in Portugal, across the Tejo River, and is considered nowadays a place of leisure both for the local people and for tourists during summer. Besides the atraction for leisure, it has also become a place for many surfers from around the world for competitions. Given this situation, the need to build with an appropriate infrastructure is increasing over the years,

Our proposal is to generate a new urban area in Costa da Caparica, which becomes part of what already exists and is simply a new, enriching and enjoyable place for everyone who lives in the area and who comes to it. The idea is composed of residential spaces and equipment, converted into a sports center. The open spaces that we can observe throughout the project generate the opportunity to enjoy green and paved spaces. In conclusion, the objective is to give a new use to a plot that has no use and to promote the use of empty space in the best possible way to give the inhabitants of Costa da Caparica a quality urban space to prosper.

LIMIT OF THE STUDY AREA After the first presentation of the panel and the proposal for Costa da Caparica study area, it was necessary to choose a specific kind of region between one and two hectares, near existing roads to work as a private investor. So the group with teacher Joana's assistance decide to choose the region marked in figure 1, 2 and 3, which is not regular, but it has important connections between the two of the main roads and it has about 15.400m2 or 1,54 hectares.

Figure 3: Selected region in the Costa da Caparica Study Area.

ZONING CATEGORIES As part of the proposal, the idea is increase the urban development for both residents and tourists (assuming that it will have more infrastructure investments as a new bridge connecting Trafaria to Lisbon) and that would require to enlarge the defined housing area and a reduction for the agricultural lands near A38. So, it was developed a zoning plan (figure 4) considering a major division for the proposal, defining briefly which parts would be for housing, camping, agricultural and coastal area, and its new main connections. However, as it was explained in the feedback of the panel presentation, there was a lack of some important definitions that we should concern about when defining a municipality urban proposal, for example which kind of rules each category should have.

Figure 4:Previous zoning plan presented in Part 1 Panel.

Figure 5: New zoning plan proposed.

Maintaining what we previously proposed but improving the categories defined for the Study Area, the new urban zoning plan (figure 5) separates housing in two categories, HMHD - Housing Mixed High Density and HMMD - Housing Mixed Medium Density. The main features for both housing categories is a mixing use with not only housing but commerce, services, equipments, green spaces and tourism facilities but for each category, the percentage of them changes according to the density proposed. The CLD - Camping Low Density is an area that has already camping activities, however the new zoning proposes to reoganize it in order to have a low density and a safe and sanitary regulation for the houses, preventing accidents and fires, stimulating a more livable area with green spaces and park recreation. The APA - Agricultural Protected Area is defined in order to permit the urban development but also to protect agricultural lands from irregular houses construction and to encourage and promote the agricultural practice existing there. The CA - Coast Area is on the other hand an area that shall maintain and promote both tourism for the beaches (such as surfing), and also fishing activities, allowing commerce and services with a low density to stimulate people flows but not houses as it happens nowadays.

URBAN PLAN LEGAL FRAMEWORK

Figure 6: HMHD - Housing Mixed High Density area.

In order to determine some incentives for better constructions and livable buildings, the legal framework also propose that the following criterias are not calculated in total floor built area: . parkings underground; . ground floor with commerce or services uses; . stairs and circulation; .balconies with total area maximum of 10% of dwellings area for multifamily buildings.

Parking politics: residencial 1 parking space for 3 units up to 50m2 1 parking space for 2 units between 51m2 and 90m2 1 parking space for 1 unit above 90m2² commerce 5 parking spaces for 100m2 when the area is above 500m2 Incentives: . have 75% of the facade with openings (windows, balconies, etc) to the street; . have commerce, services or equipments associated to the buildings; . to be forbidden the garden area to be used as parking.

ALTERNATIVES FOR OCCUPATION

Figure 7: First proposal for an alternative occupation layout. For the alternative occupation layout for the selected area that is in HMHD - Housing Mixed High Density, the main idea was to promote a block with an occupation similar to what happens in Barcelona - Spain in which it has buildings side to side with an intern opening for lighting and ventilation on both facades. For the first option (figure 7) it has huge buildings with four floors and with private yards, connecting with some existing streets, terraces that could be used for the residents with a good view and in its first floors an active facade to promote commerce, services or equipments for the region. The main disadvantages for this proposal is the depth of 8 meters to achieve this kind of layout, the density promoted by the continuity of the buildings, the huge parking area that it would be necessary to attend both private and public spaces, a lack of connectivity with the surrounding buildings and people and a difficulty of access since it would have only the lateral streets. The second alternative of occupation layout (figure 8) is a evolution of the first one, that brings the similar idea of having some intern yards, four floors, terraces and active facade in the first floor to promote urban flow. But as the disadvantages of the first option showed, even that in this option the buildings don't cause too much density on the landscape, it still demands more space for parking, local street access to those buildings and its depth of 8 meters to achieve this kind of layout, that wants to occupy a great parcel of the land. Considering both alternatives developed before and taking into account that it is necessary to increase the minimum depth of the building, having more streets to access and connect people and cars for parking, the final proposal (figure 9) also promote public green spaces instead of private yards, locating them alternates according the buildings facades in order to have a better visibility for pedestrian and to be a good walking path. Besides that, the minimum depth increases and goes from 10m to 12m for housing and 15m for the Sports Center building, the number of floors also is ground floor (active facade with commerce or services) + 4 floors for the housing and six floors for the Sports Center building. // 42

05. ATHENS WEEK PROJECT application of BIM methology for design proposal - Saint Lucas Camus Architecture Building team: Juan Meyer, Edoardo Cataldi, Sjur Haakestad, Sebastian Inveninato, Mariana Fernandes and Laura Mielgo // [KUL30] Digital Methods for Design and Planning // Leuvain, Belgium // one week project - March, 2019 The building proposed for the course project is the actual campus for the KU Leuvain University's Architecture School, in Brussels. The school's image is inffluenced by its industrial past, having been a textile factory. He was adapt to be the architecture campus, however, it is lacking of thermal and accoustic insulation for its present use as a school, and the lack of rehabilitation since the nineties shows in the humidities and water damages present in the facade.

Besides all technical problems, there's also some issues regarding the usage of the rooms for the students' needs, according to the classes, such as drawing. During our visit, we where presented with several ideas that the alumnii have had about what would be necessery to tackle the building's problems; complemented with a guided tour by a PhD proffesor in which we could see the deterioration and lack of use of the space.

Saint Lucas Campus - Architecture Building

COLLABORATIVE WORK The first step was the project planning set up. After having defined the group members roles we started to have a clear vision on to who addressing different tasks. The correct approach was to exploit resources cooperation in order to make sure to deliver an optimal result. After having defined members roles we created a process plan draft.

The first draft was showing general processes in order to make the overall procedures clear to the team. This phase was important to emphasize the loops if there was a negative check response on the existing structure modelling with the in-situ surveys implementation and in the case of relevant clash detection with the possibility of fixing the different models integration with easily adjustable clashes or the masterplan review in the case of more relevant clashes. After that we defined a proper BIM execution plan, we implemented the information delivery manual. As shown, in order to have a clear vision on the information exchange between actors involved, a schematic process plan for the information delivery manual was developed. Also a particular attention was delivered towards the processes and the information exchange in between different actors. Rows indicate whose responsible to perform the activity and circles represents the exchanged information and each information on the same column of a process represents its input information, while for its subsequent information represents at the same time the input for the following process and the output of the predecessor process. The aim of constructing this table was to address the team a reference scheme and was fundamental to highlight the importance of interaction in between different actors in order to reciprocally enrich each other and to have an optimal vision on the project's objectives. As we can see we divided the project in the following phases with the relative processes and input and output informations associated with them: - Preliminary phase - Design phase - Operational phase - BIM integration - Reporting

After that, a Gantt chart was developed in order to optimize resources allocation for the project completion during the Athens week.

The general scheme was mutated during the proper development because of time and resources constraints. We have tried to allocate 100% for all resources during the whole project duration. Some tasks were performed concurrently. However the process plan logic still applied and was taken as the main reference point. Figure 3: Gantt chart. As soon as we set the basis for the project organization we started the executing phase. Commenting on the organization processes part, we slightly deviate from the original process plan, in the sense that some tasks due to their nature should be performed consequentially for an optimal output, were instead performed at the same time due to a limited time schedule. In addition to that, we agreed on making a cost analysis overview at first, but subsequentially this proposition was abandoned (a proper resources and materials price list should be further developed). For what concerns input and output information needed instead, the process map for the information delivery manual well reflected input needed and output produced by each process. What we noticed is that real time communication and in-advance organization among different actors performing different activities was crucial in order to reduce downtimes and possible waste of time. // 58

DESIGN STRATEGY The conversations with the building's users are the starting point of our design proposal, since we agreed our main focus should be listening to the them and making the most with less; simple changes that would have a greater effect. The ideas we were given could be sumarized in: Flexibility and Temporal Appropiation: a. Every design studio should be the curator of its own place. Openness as an invitation for sharing

b. New programatic needs: Central Auditorium and Exposition towards the street. A library appropiate for the new students demands. Permanent workplace for every student and researcher. c. Iconicity and Public Image. New common ground.

Our proposal focuses on circulation and vertical comunication changes. In the ground floor, this stablishes a better circulation, creating two exhibitions spaces with different character. Towards the main street, a storefront to the public; in the center of the circular promenade stablished by the ramp and the stairs, the school hall with its double hieght. The indeppendent structure in the southeast corner is redesigned to fit a new open auditorium, with crossed visuals towards the bar and lounge area in the mezzanine.

The new communications offers the possibility to create a big open and flexible studio for design workshops. Its depth (7m) allows for different distributions and is enough for working with natural lightning. Its main facade faces north, which is the best light for working activites. The displacement of the elevator and the new genderless toitets allows to keep the old circulation scheme as a secondary circulation between the different classrooms, allowing differentiated spaces for lectures and model making. The house nextdoor included the administrative offices and the library, with its own entrance and connected to the new stairs.

Growing the building in height with a new volume allows for a better accesibility to the terrace and a the possibility to enjoy the views towards the city. The new volume solves the space problems for PhD staff and offers a differentiated space for researchers and guests.

ENGINEERING

We decided running the structural and energy analysis in the model of the new module. So we could focus on the analysis itself instead of the modeling process. STRUCTURE: We took the revit model, saved it as an .IFC model and then, imported it into a structural analysis programme called CypeCad, very popular in the spanish construction field. ENERGY In this case, we used the plugg-i Sefaira o Revit to run the consumption and efficiency analysis.

CLASH DETECTION and FIXING NAVISWORKS After having defined the architectural, structural and mechanical installations worksets, we were able to export the Revit files to the Navisworks tools universe in order to be able to exploit all the advantages of a BIM integrated model. We then first run a hard clash test in between structural and architectural worksets with a 0.001m tolerance and 355 clashes were reported for the glass box structure. This result was reasonable and a brief discussion on main clashes was made. We then opted, in order to have a clearer vision on clash detection and solution tools, to reduce the amount of clashes to be able to apply logic to a simplified model. // 62

Therefore, bearing in mind this is not reasonable in real life cases but just to get more familiar with clash detection tool, we then run a hard clash detection with a 0.1m tolerance. With such a tolerance we run the architectural vs structural analysis getting 11 clashes which we have then tried to fix.

In this case solution was straight-forward because of the simplified structure of the HVAC system, so that we just moved it. Performing this task we really had the opportunity to truly understand the usefulness of such a tool. But for a better understanding different modified models reporting should have been produced within the same Navisworks file in order to better keep track of the corrective path performed. Adding comments on clashes directly in the software or grouping multiple clashes that belong to a particular element could have been really helpfull too. Switchback function through the options editor should have been performed after having enabled it from the Revit add-ins menu in order to ease this process. After clashes fixing and exporting, the Navisworks model should have been refreshed and a test re-run should have been performed in order to report the resolved clashes.

BIM integration allows to adjust clashes within the design phase, which even if it makes design phase more costly it can really help in reducing cost of changes in the project execution phase as the MacLeamy curve shows. This tool allow us to perform in advance simulations in order to simulate scenarios in advance, with a relevant overall costs saving during the entire project life-cycle. 63 //
