The MaCAD is a unique online programme training a new generation of architects, engineers and designers ready to develop skills into the latest softwares, computational tools, BIM technologies and AI towards innovation for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry.
ABSTRACT The integration of generative AI into architecture is transforming early-stage design processes, particularly by enabling rapid and automated floorplan generation. These tools increase efficiency by exploring large design spaces and producing multiple layout options in a short time. However, current workflows struggle to integrate critical performative analyses such as daylight availability, thermal comfort, and … Read more
ABSTRACT LAYOUT GENERATOR This research introduces a computational framework for early-stage architectural design that automates the generation and evaluation of building layouts. The approach begins from basic inputs—program requirements, site boundary, and context—and produces alternative spatial arrangements that are assessed against architectural and regulatory constraints. The framework ensures that generated layouts respect programmatic adjacencies, daylight … Read more
