INTRODUCTION The development of smart cities has become an integral part of modern urban planning as a result of rapid urbanization and technological advances. This thesis examines the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence (AI) as well as how it can revolutionize urban analysis across a wide variety of industries. In particular, I will focus … Read more
Abstract Generative design has always been a very hot topic in recent times. Over the past few years, machine learning tools have emerged as invaluable aids in the creation of more precise and diverse 2D or 3D building models, fostering greater user engagement in the design process. A retrospective examination of previous approaches shows that … Read more
Abstract This thesis explores experimental approaches when addressing sea level rise challenges , the impacts of land loss due to sea rise and population growth. It delves into considerations associated with innovative approaches while emphasizing the integration of urban syntax and graph machine learning. Drawing upon case studies and open data, underscoring the importance of … Read more
Abstract This study delves into the innovative fusion of graph theory with architectural design and planning, facilitated by a structured BIM to Graph workflow. By conceptualizing architectural elements as nodes and their interconnections as edges within a graph, architects gain an adaptable and multifunctional tool for representation, analysis, and strategic planning. The graph’s inherent scalability … Read more
Intro Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which started on 24.02.2022, is the biggest war in Europe since WWII. It took the lives of dozens of thousands of Ukrainians a brought massive destruction [1] and ecological catastrophes. Some cities are completely erased. A massive piece of land is still occupied. This war and its consequences are … Read more
A Multidimensional Study of the Superilla My research starts from observing human behaviour. Often when we face a change in our lives, especially when it wasn’t planned, we feel resistance and it takes time before we accept and embrace it. As you probably know Barcelona in the last few years lived some changes in its … Read more
Abstract Architecture enthusiasts face a dilemma when planning their travel visits. Either they spend a lot of time and effort researching and planning their routes, or they can rely on mainstream websites and blogs that tend to recommend well-known works, ruling out works with the same architectural interest that have received less media coverage. The … Read more
“Illuminating Spaces, Effortlessly!” I INTRODUCTION “This project utilizes graph machine learning to enhance architectural lighting design. Through GraphSAGE, we classify light sources considering their features and interconnections with architectural components, aiming to streamline the design process and consistently achieve optimal lighting scenarios.” I DESIGN PROCESS I DATA SET ZONES EDGES EDGES I MODEL DEVELOPMENT
Explorer for new architectural dimensions Latent Studio is a groundbreaking web service that redefines initial-stage modeling for large architecture offices. It harnesses the prowess of 3D Generative Adversarial Networks (3DGANs) and a vast cloud-based voxel model database.This transformative process involves two crucial steps: data collection and training, culminating in a meticulously curated Typology Catalog. Along … Read more
Our project website can be accessed at bit.ly/graphml Introduction Our research focused on hosting a machine learning model on the web that accesses Rhino.Compute. It receives an input of a polyline drawn on a Leaflet.js map by a user to indicate the central corridor spine of a building and returns a graph of that building … Read more
Harnessing the power of drone-based photogrammetry and artificial intelligence to create a low-cost urban wildfire diagnostic tool. In recent years, the global community has witnessed a significant upsurge in the frequency and intensity of wildfires. Driven by a combination of climate change, urban expansion, and land-use practices, these fires have not only devastated vast natural … Read more
Kala Academy Auditorium Refurbishment – Using Genetic Algorithms I PROBLEM STATEMENT I STATE OF THE ART EMPAC The interior was treated with various wall patterns applied to the walls leaving no flat surfaces to increase sound diffusion and decrease reverberation time, This made it rank as one of the most acoustically perfect concert halls in the … Read more
