Democratizing Architectural Design: A Participatory Approach through AI
The democratization of the design process through artificial intelligence is the focus of my Master’s thesis. Recent advancements in AI have revolutionized the field of architecture by making it more accessible and inclusive. The necessity for years of experience with professional software is no longer a barrier, as text-to-image AI systems enable non-experts to visualize … Read more
Morph_Designer
Morph_Designer is a project that researches the potential of available building footprint morphological data, and how this can become a design-aid tool in architectural practices, aiming to give a new scope of data driven design that can be used globally. “Architecture and the city are mutually constitutive, each influencing and shaping the other in a … Read more
Reinforcement Learning
Group 5 How can apartment typologies be designed to create communities within buildings, addressing social exclusion and isolation caused by modernist architecture? Can reinforcement learning be used to optimize the distribution of public and private spaces, such as apartments, balconies, patios, and courtyards, to create sub-communities within the building.
Naturaleza +
Devolviéndole la Naturaleza a la ciudad. Durante el desarrollo de Taller 1 se había planteado la problemática de manera clara: La planificación urbana que no tiene en cuenta los servicios ecosistémicos consolida la desigualdad espacial y económica, profundiza la pobreza, disminuye la calidad de vida de personas y otras especies y degrada el suelo, el … Read more
Hybri-Form
The aim of the research is to investigate the feasibility of using plywood in a hybrid bending active system. The system will integrate restraining elements for both bending actuation and stiffening of the structure, developing a method for scaling up active bending in lightweight construction. Context_Framework Context_Structural lumber Context_Lightweight construction The investigation of lightweight structures … Read more
Beyond Verticality
An Exquisite Corpse Report on Urban Form ABSTRACT IntroductionWith our work in this term we produced a multitude of drawings and images, watched and analyzed multiple movies, read multiple texts and came up with iterations and speculations. The common through line of all of these was the exploration of the nature of beyond-vertical forms of … Read more
Proposal for Enhancement of Semantic Segmentation Model for Architectural Purposes
The current semantic segmentation model for ControlNet provides a list of usable materials, but they are not specific enough for architectural purposes. By generating new tokens (colours) that extend the existing model with new material types, we aim to improve the process by which stable diffusion operates and make it more suitable for architecture applications.
Beyond Corals
The recent climate changes are affecting key elements of our ecosystem such as tropical forest, deserts, and coral reefs. Corals are living organisms, closely related to jellyfish that live in colonies. The size of those colonies can vary, the largest coral reef to date, the great barrier is estimated to stretch over 2300 kilometers. There … Read more

for the previous term work refer : https://blog.iaac.net/re-print/ |Global Scenario The building system was was fragmented to 3 systems, each with a unique purpose. Module A-the wall ensemble: focused on creating a modular wall system that would reduce dead load and offer versatile functionality. Module B-the column ensemble: was designed to utilize the material’s compressive … Read more
Forces of Nature: Tensile Structure
CONCEPT The project aims to tensile structures that are architectural designs which use tension to provide structural support and stability, often characterized by their lightweight and flexible nature. These structures are used in a wide range of applications, from large-scale event venues to small-scale residential and commercial buildings. Frei Otto The research begins with a … Read more
The Cultural Canvas
An art and community center designed to foster artistic and cultural activities in a community, through a geometrically evolved design that integrates with the surrounding environment. It serves as a hub for creative expression, social and cultural exchange, providing space for exhibitions, performances, workshops, and community events. The center’s architecture combines functionality with artistic expression, creating a space … Read more
The beginning of an end
How to inhabit the ends of the world? Abstract The end of the world does not take place once but rather over and over again in numerous manners over the period of time that the universe has existed in the chaotic cosmos. These ends of the world are more often than not categorised as mass … Read more
AI in the Built Environment | Urban Analytical Tool for Greening the City
Juan is a young professional living in a narrow street in Barcelona and he describes the street he lives in as a concrete hell. How air quality and greenery impact the experience, how a citizen feels, about a public space? The result will be an urban analytical tool for the city planners to manage air … Read more
Paradise Lost-The Ground Tour of Sin-topia
A theory study on exploring new forms for social norms of deregulations in 21st century CRITICAL THINKING: We have conceived a lot of ideal utopian cities from ancient times to the present, but the imagination of modern utopia has led to various real social problems in society and urban, like the irrepressible criminal underclass, the … Read more
