Contexept
Contexept is a design-to-fabrication workflow that uses AI to generate context-aware façade designs and turn them into 3D-printable architectural modules. By combining semantic keyword clustering, image generation, and robotic clay printing, the system transforms abstract ideas into buildable, site-sensitive forms. It bridges digital creativity with physical construction, making AI a meaningful collaborator in architecture. Architecture … Read more

Reinventing Bamboo Architecture
Bamboo, a sustainable and strong material, remains underutilized in modern architecture. My research explores new methodologies to optimize its structural potential, reinvestigating its bending properties and integrating digital fabrication techniques. Addressing durability and standardization challenges, I advocate for bamboo’s inclusion in European building codes, promoting it as a viable alternative to steel and concrete. By … Read more
