Abstract: For the class of Interactive Interfaces with professor Daniil Koshelyuk we got introduced to the Unity game engine, a powerful software to create all kinds of 3D applications and environments. For our group, we decided to create an app that would be the continuation of our Research Studio project: Adapt AI. A project where … Read more

GG Worlds [v.2]


MaAI-01 2024-2025 by
MaAI-01 2024-2025

Introduction: From Words to Worlds Game design is one of the most creative fields in digital media today but for most developers, turning ideas into immersive worlds remains slow, expensive, and overwhelming. Especially for independent creators, level design, the art of shaping the physical and emotional journey of a player, is often the most demanding … Read more

Interactive Block-Based Structural Generation and Analysis Tool


MaAI-01 2024-2025 by
MaAI-01 2024-2025

In contemporary architectural practice, the gap between conceptual design and structural analysis often leads to delays, miscommunication, and inefficient iteration cycles. This project proposes an integrated workflow that bridges this divide by creating an interactive interface where architects can receive real-time structural feedback while scanning their preliminary physical model. By combining Unity-based visualization, QR code-enabled … Read more

Satellite-Based Assessment of Vegetation Loss in Evia Wildfires


MaAI-01 2024-2025 by
MaAI-01 2024-2025

This project focuses on Evia, Greece, where devastating wildfires in the summers of 2021 and 2023 caused massive environmental damage. This is only an example, but this pipeline could be applied to any wild-fire affected area. Our aim is to quantify green loss and monitor post-fire ecosystem recovery. Thus we compare satellite imagery from key … Read more

From Above the Acropolis: Satellite Analysis of Vegetation and Urban Heat in Athens


MaAI-01 2024-2025 by
MaAI-01 2024-2025

The project is situated in Athens, Greece, which overheats in the summer. We wanted to test a hypothesis: The overheating is the result of too much hardscaping (asphalt, concrete, brick) and not enough greenery. We wanted to compare the NDVI (a measure of greenery in a city) taken from Satellite images to Land Surface Temperature … Read more

Flood Impact Mapping along the Turia River, València – Flood of 2024
