Automating Architectural Visualization: A Journey Through Technical Pivots and AI Evolution Introduction In the rapidly evolving landscape of architectural visualization, the gap between conceptual design and compelling visual presentation remains a significant challenge. While architects and designers excel at creating innovative spaces, transforming these 3D models into cinematic walkthroughs typically requires specialized skills, expensive software, … Read more
Global Problem Buildings account for 40% of global carbon emissions And the majority of these emissions come from operational carbon; a significant component of which is heating, cooling, and lighting. These carbon and financial costs can be reduced by passive design strategies that reduce the need for mechanical heating and cooling, and electrical lighting. Passive … Read more
GG WORLDS: A Blender plugin that enables users to instantly generate and customize 3D environments from text prompts, using generative AI to save time, cost, and boost creative freedom. Physical Prototype: Our prototype demonstrates an interactive workflow where users arrange physical maps and landmarks, then use a tablet AR app to instantly visualize and modify … Read more
Cloud Based Remote Sensing, Optimization and Agent Based Simulation Floods that were once rare are now happening more often. In Valencia, Spain, a flood expected only once every 500 to 1,000 years has happened three times in the last few decades, with the most recent in October 2024 killing over 230 people and causing €16 … Read more
In contemporary architectural practice, the gap between conceptual design and structural analysis often leads to delays, miscommunication, and inefficient iteration cycles. This project proposes an integrated workflow that bridges this divide by creating an interactive interface where architects can receive real-time structural feedback while scanning their preliminary physical model. By combining Unity-based visualization, QR code-enabled … Read more
Bio-Receptive Interfaces is a performative multi-material clay-based system for indoor environments, integrating hydrogel vascularity to host an ecosystem of cryptogams and vascular plants. Fusing biological intelligence with embedded sensors and AI, it sustains a prolonged hydration cycle, purifies air, sequesters carbon, and reintroduces ecological presence into synthetic indoor worlds—transforming sealed spaces into living, responsive, multi-species … Read more
EcoNodes is an AI-driven urban planning platform designed to identify and prioritize the city’s most heat-stressed and impervious junctions for strategic green interventions. By combining satellite imagery, street view segmentation, and environmental datasets, EcoNodes highlights the urban nodes that lack vegetation, suffer from poor air flow, or trap excessive heat. The tool empowers planners to … Read more
Using Street View and Remote Sensing to Assess Risk and Empower Small Businesses Whos got my Credit? Access to credit is a fundamental driver of economic growth, especially for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Food & Beverage (F&B) sector. Yet, traditional lending models—rooted in asset-based evaluations—often exclude countless small business owners, particularly … Read more
Contexept is a Context-to-Conceptualization framework integrating Generative AI and Additive Manufacturing to produce facades for specified architectural contexts in upscaled construction scenarios
By Jose, Giorgia, Paul, Francesco, and Mohammed Rethinking Urban Design Through Acoustic Intelligence Cities today must manage noise for public health, productivity, and urban well-being. Streets, parks, towers, and public spaces all face constant noise challenges. Yet, traditional urban design often treats acoustics as an afterthought. Most teams evaluate sound issues only after making key … Read more
“What if you could speak your design ideas and watch them transform into complete parametric scripts in real-time?”
HaBiCoM is an AI-powered copilot designed to assist architects, designers, and users in shaping smarter, more responsive interior spaces. At its core, HaBiCoM redefines the way we approach furniture placement within residential environments by aligning each design decision with the user’s unique daily habits, lifestyle rhythms, and thermal comfort needs. Unlike traditional layout tools, HaBiCoM … Read more
Introduction Urban traffic congestion is more than just an inconvenience—it’s a global challenge tied to pollution, stress, and wasted time. While cities are turning to AI-driven systems to ease the gridlock, the question remains: Do these technologies actually perform better than traditional methods?Flow – SIGHT is a comparative research project that investigates traffic systems across … Read more
A sustainability CoPilot Gaia is an intelligent design assistant, a copilot that supports architects in navigating the early stages of design with real-time environmental feedback. Named after the ancient Greek personification of the Earth, Gaia reflects both the ecological focus of the tool and its role as a guiding presence in the creative process. The … Read more
