Allí, las definen como “la … Read more
Infiltraciones en el Barrio Ferroviario de San Juan. Artes, Oficios & Rituales. Huellas Ferroviarias El 2 de abril de 1885 llega el ferrocarril a la Provincia de San Juan. Su llegada fue indispensable y fundamental, junto a la inmigración europea. En el año 1948, el presidente de la República Argentina, Juan Domingo Perón, nacionalizó los … Read more
INTRODUCTION In today’s construction industry, a large portion of timber is discarded due to its non-standard shape, curvature, or internal defects. Un_Log Factory challenges this paradigm by proposing a digitally augmented fabrication system that embraces the natural irregularity of timber. Instead of seeing bent or cracked logs as waste, our process redefines them as raw … Read more
This object functions as a sculptural lamp, where the complex lattice of organic openings serves both an aesthetic and functional role. The irregular perforations allow light to escape in unpredictable and dynamic patterns, casting intricate shadows and gradients onto surrounding surfaces. As light passes through the varying densities and scales of the geometry, it diffuses … Read more
MANIFESTO In the tightly packed neighborhood of To Kwa Wan, space is limited and buildings are pressed close together, making it tough to design high-rises that feel light, breezy, and livable.This project uses generative design tools like Grasshopper and Wallacei to explore better ways of shaping a new tower near Kwun Shan Court.The goal is … Read more

(PaintDumpster/environmental_data_workshop at ndvi) – Link to GitHub This project aims to detect and classify different types of greenery in satellite imagery by utilizing color and edge detection techniques. The study area is located in Barcelona, Spain (41.396536, 2.194554). The stable version employs color and edge detection for image segmentation, while an alternative method integrates LiDAR … Read more
The goal of this project is to compare between the economic stability of an agriculture first city. Hamburg’s agricultural wealth is largely connected to its surrounding regions—particularly Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony, which are among Germany’s leading food producers. Consequently, we focused on peripheral areas of the city that have recently transitioned into agricultural land, allowing … Read more
+ Talking with Nicolas Catellier reveals how much of BIM’s evolution isn’t just about software, it’s about people. His journey from architect to educator, and from internal tutorials to a public platform, shows how valuable simplicity and clarity can be in a field often dominated by complexity. + What stood out most is his awareness … Read more
Leveraging Advanced BIM Strategies for Complex Architectural Realization Contextual Framework – Traditional BIM workflows often struggle to accommodate the complex, fluid geometries characteristic of avant-garde architectural designs, creating a gap between conceptual vision and buildable reality. Key Insight – Customized BIM workflows incorporating AI, computational design, and bespoke coding can enable the realization of complex … Read more
ADAPTING AND MITIGATING: THE FOUNDATIONS OF ECOLOGICAL DESIGN For my ecological intelligence mapping activity, I chose to focus on the theme of Adaptation vs. Mitigation. I was drawn to this topic because it feels like the backbone of all ecological thinking. Before we can dive into innovative materials, multispecies interactions, or green cities, we first need … Read more
Can an AI agent learn how to carve a shape — not by following a predefined path, but by figuring it out on its own? https://github.com/IaaC/AI_Robotics_Octopus.git Inspired by the precision of traditional craftsmanship, especially techniques like Japanese joinery where every cut matters, we wanted to see if a machine could learn that same logic in … Read more
Contexept is a design-to-fabrication workflow that uses AI to generate context-aware façade designs and turn them into 3D-printable architectural modules. By combining semantic keyword clustering, image generation, and robotic clay printing, the system transforms abstract ideas into buildable, site-sensitive forms. It bridges digital creativity with physical construction, making AI a meaningful collaborator in architecture. Architecture … Read more
A Methodological Approach to Urban Morphology and Hybrid Energy Systems in the Global South Project Statement: “Even as we advance in Energy Innovation, our cities continueto grapple with deep inequalities. In this research, I proposerethinking Urban Morphology—not merely as the physicalform of our settlements, but as a strategic lever for equitableenergy solutions. The conceptual Energy-Morphology … Read more
In the face of climate challenges, architecture is evolving beyond static walls into dynamic, responsive systems. The N.E.S.T. Research Center embodies this shift through its resilient envelope, an intelligent skin designed to regulate environmental conditions, harness energy, and enhance structural performance. Envelope Development: A Multi-Layered Approach The building envelope is developed across four distinct facades, each tailored to … Read more
