John Haymaker, PhD, AIA, LEED ap
	Assistant Professor Construction Engineering and Management Program Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Stanford University. I research formal theories for design and construction processes, and ways to implement these theories as computer methods, and apply them in industry to improve sustainability. I teach CEE 111 / 211: 3D Modeling Plus Analyses, CEE 115 / 215: Goals and Methods of Sustainable Design, and CEE 321: Formal Models for Design. My office is Y2E2 295, near the Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE) iRoom. My email address is haymaker at stanford dot edu.
Research	,
	MACDADI AEC professionals need to define goals, propose options, analyze these options with respect to the goals, and make decisions. Design is a social process; they need to coordinate these processes and information amongst a wide range of team members and stakeholders. MACDADI: a Multi-Attribute Collective Decision Analysis for the Design Initiative, is designed to help teams collect, synthesize and hierarchically organize the project goals; established their relative preference with respect to these goals; analyzed design options with respect to the goals; and visualize and assess these goals, options, preferences, and analyses to assist in a transparent and formal decision making process.
	Narratives AEC professionals need to communicate, integrate, and optimize their multidisciplinary processes and information far more quickly and accurately than they do today. Narratives help in this purpose. Narratives are formal descriptions of design processes including representations, reasoning, and their interdependencies. They enable distributed project teams to easily, visually, iteratively, and formally construct and control their interdependent information and processes.
	The Perspective Approach Constructing and Integrating geometric engineering views on AEC projects is time-consuming, error-prone and difficult. Using the Perspective Approach, engineers from multiple disciplines can iteratively construct geometric engineering representations from information in other geometric engineering representations and control the integration of a multidisciplinary, evolving project model.
	4D Modeling Coordinating hundreds of engineers, thousands of workers, and millions of dollars on complex construction projects is a challenge. This project tested the applicability and usefulness of 4D modeling with a 4D prototype software developed between CIFE (by Martin Fischer, Kathleen Liston, and Ragip Akbas) and Walt Disney Imagineering on Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

	The Meaning Mediating Mechanism Architectural design involves the integration of diverse, sometimes conflicting, criteria into a coherent solution. This research built a web-based computer program in which human designers and computational agents representing disciplines such as space, enclosure, light and structure iteratively analyzed and modified an evolving shared design.
	Miesbeast As a critique of the lack of site-specific criteria used in the International Style, and as an exploration into the use of generative algorithms as a design exploration tool, I built a computer program called MiesBeast that automatically constructs random variations of 3D buildings based loosely on Mies Van Der Rohe’s International Style.
