By employing [input_output] + [pix2pix] combination of machine learning strategy, this exercise explores the opportunity to facilitate facade developments. [over 2000 variations] Inspirations [Input_Output] + [pix2pix] combination is a powerful machine learning tool for innovative architecture design. A meaningful and robust dataset is critical for a successful project. Pilot-test and extensive back-and-forth adjustments are also … Read more
Introduction Urban voids, or vacant spaces within a city, can occur due to various factors and circumstances. Here are some reasons why urban voids happen As part of the research, the city of Los Angeles was surveyed to create a dataset that could be analyzed. This dataset would provide an understanding of the urban voids … Read more
Can we find a systemized approach for extracting the shape of cities? City.Style.GAN is a small research on the possible generative networks capables of generating new buildings massings according to the urban shape fo the city. Methodology: In a first aproximation to the urban generation, large portions of three urban tissues are extracted in OSMnx … Read more
The experiment parts from a self organizing model that iterates based in the incident sun hours, to later be evaluated in 2 methods: DCGAN’s and PIX2PIX. Problem Statement: The objective is to utilize urban farming strategically in central Budapest to enhance the affordability of student life. The key questions revolve around the potential yield, geometric … Read more
RESEARCH QUESTION Custom facade design has high costs,currently these designs are reserved to high end residential design. What if AI could give a valid variety of proposals for balconies customized arrangements that take into account microclimate and privacy of the outdoor space? METHODOLOGY DESIGN PROCESS PIX TO PIX GAN Allows to explore several options It is quicker … Read more

Today we have a challenge to reduce our waste. As we know construction is responsible for one third of all waste that is produced annually. That is why it is important to look into reusing the buildings instead of demolishing. The process of giving new life to existing buildings is called «adaptive reuse For this … Read more
What kind of architecture is the most suitable for AI? The architecture of the Superdutch is already reduced to diagrams and blue foam models allowing for brute force prototyping. Ten ideas are created everyday per person on teams of ten people in firms like OMA, JDS, and BIG etc. That’s a hundred ideas per day … Read more
I PROCESS I PROBLEM STATEMENT The model will consider factors such as building orientation, facade modifications, and roof area expansion and tilt, ensuring optimal solar panel placement and alignment to maximize energy generation. By developing this AI generative model, we aim to overcome the limitations posed by Seattle’s climate, accelerate the adoption of solar energy, … Read more
PROBLEM Maximizing energy efficiency and comfort in buildings with strategically designed and placed sun shades for optimal solar heat reduction is becoming crucial in cities especially in arid zones. This raises an important question how can we use new technologies in achieving such goals. ML MODEL SELECTION in 2017 a very interesting model using Image-to-Image … Read more
