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

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
Our project focuses on modeling and predicting habitat fragmentation avoidance mechanisms using graphs. We investigate wildlife corridors in Australia, leveraging graph-based approaches to create coherent passages and connect forest areas. By analyzing satellite images, road data, and other metrics, we construct and evaluate graph models that incorporate forest containment, node characteristics, and connectivity. Our goal … Read more
Challenge to solve The potential for a building to adapt to various uses is primarily determined during the initial stages of the design process. This feature is rarely considered by architects yet has a significant impact of a building’s sustainability. The intention is to provide an early-stage tool that architects can use to test adaptability … Read more
Aim This research aims to examine the impact and importance for AEC firms to engage in a digital transformation to make most use of artificial intelligence (AI) within building information modeling (BIM). The research has a focus on enhancing firms and projects (the built environment) based on the design team’s use of advanced digital tools. … Read more
As a target country for our project we selected Ukraine, the biggest European country that is located in the eastern part. Ukraine has 1000 years of history, during which it has been fighting for freedom and identity. In 2013 in Kyiv students started the protest, which evolved into the revolution of dignity, after the president … Read more
St-Clotilde is a parish located in Geneve, Switzerland. Climate data is sourced from IWEC Database of LadyBug in Grasshopper In Geneve the temperature varies between -1º C and 26º C most of the year, but temperature can reach lower and higher peaks. Humidity plays a major role in Geneva as well. In fact, the average … Read more
The climate analysis of Stockholm, Sweden leads to the optimization of a new building with twisting floors for human comfort and solar gain.
Around 60°N latitude, where several Nordic capitals—including Oslo, Stockholm, and Helsinki—are located, daylight plays a special role in the daily lives of their inhabitants. There is a large seasonal variation in daylight from long summer days up to 19 hours of daylight to long dark winters with less than 6 hours. The opposite occurs in … Read more
