Intro Description & Structure

The Algorithmic Design I Thesis Cluster is an advanced course that delves into the innovative convergence of artificial intelligence, computational design, and architecture. The cluster aims to revolutionise architectural design by harnessing cutting-edge technologies to create adaptive, resilient, and efficient workflows within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

Key Research Areas

  • Generative Design and AI-Assisted Creativity
    • Explore how AI tools can push the boundaries of architectural imagination.
    • Investigate methodologies for integrating AI into the creative workflow.
  • Intelligent Spatial Analysis and Optimization
    • Study computational techniques to enhance building performance.
    • Optimize architectural layouts using AI-driven solutions.
  • Data-Driven Architecture and Digital Integration
    • Research methods to extract and utilize architectural data effectively.
    • Integrate AI-generated designs with modern digital practices.
  • Next-Generation Architectural Workflows
    • Focus on the incorporation of LLMs into architectural processes.
    • Enhance professional practice through AI-enabled efficiency and collaboration.

Course Objectives

Fire Sense

Automated Fire compliance assessment tool Fire safety in buildings isn’t just about alarms and sprinklers—it’s about designing spaces that prevent tragedies before they happen. Imagine if architects could assess the fire safety of their designs with just a click, ensuring compliance with global standards during the early stages of construction. Sounds futuristic? Not anymore. In … Read more

EcoNodes

Introduction: Transforming Urban Junctions for a Sustainable Future Urbanization has drastically increased impervious surfaces in cities, leading to environmental challenges such as urban heat islands, stormwater runoff, and reduced access to green spaces. Junctions and intersections, often overlooked, are some of the most impervious and environmentally stressed areas in urban landscapes. This project aims to … Read more

GENERATIVE A.I. PHY-GITAL 3D

The research envisions to develop work on the existing artificial intelligence models inclined for development of images through prompts and related tools to generate images which can be further leveraged into 3D translation of geometry to offer an aid for designers and creatives to develop their concept
