Introduction The Data team’s role in the Hyper A project is to calculate the performance metrics of each Design Team. Each Design Team provides the Data Team the component values for needed to calculate their metrics. These component values are cumulative for their entirety of their design. For example, the Industrial Team’s Primary Metric is … Read more
As members of the data team for Hyperbuilding-B, we focus our integrative assignment on functional zoning and the extraction of structural and environmental data from our building zones. Functional Zoning The team B hyperbuilding is a series of towers joined by lower floor podiums and bridges of fluid forms that all follow the same structural … Read more
Problem Statement: BIM integration is straightforward for basic building forms, but challenging for complex geometries. Issues include interoperability, maintaining design intent, and bridging conceptual design with BIM. Standardization and cost-effective fabrication remain key obstacles. Thesis: Computational tools like Grasshopper enhance BIM integration by improving early-stage collaboration, workflow standardization, and ensuring complex forms remain constructible. Research … Read more
Link to Project: https://datamgmt25.iaac.net/ (Find Scott Lebow in the sidebar) This app is a simple electrical closet generator. This app allows architects to determine an appropriate room size based on a quantity of panelboards and transformers. It is designed to quickly size an electrical closet, without needing an engineer. Clearances are based on National Electric … Read more
Try it for yourself by visiting this website and selecting ‘Angeliki Maragakis’ from the dropdown! Designing wind chimes that produce accurate musical notes can be a complex process. My app proposal, Windsong, attempts to simplify this by providing an interface that allows the user to customise a wind-chime configuration based on both sight and sound. … Read more
Sobre latencias y oportunidades en el abordaje de la vacancia en la Ciudad de Mendoza, Argentina RESUMEN La problemática de los pasivos urbanos, definidos como terrenos subutilizados o infraestructuras obsoletas dentro del tejido urbano, constituye un fenómeno global con implicaciones territoriales y socioeconómicas a escala local. La expansión urbana no planificada, caracterizada por patrones de … Read more
922 provides shade and a relaxing space for students in response to the sunny rooftop environment. The design process involved experimenting with different shapes and structures using parametric modeling, ensuring stability while keeping the form visually interesting. The pavilion was developed through several design iterations, considering factors like load distribution and connection points. The final … Read more
Abstract In response to the increasing global population of visually impaired individuals, projected to reach 18.5% by 2050, our project focuses on enhancing the accessibility of architectural spaces, particularly in primary healthcare centers. We have developed the Building Analysis Tool (BAT), an solution designed to assist architects in creating environments that cater to the needs … Read more
For our MaCAD Studio project, we wanted to explore the idea of circularity during the assembling/disassembling stage of the various programmatic functions housed by the building structure. The main materials employed are CLT and Reinforced Steel, of which we picked the first to be the focus of our study since it is the primary material … Read more
NeoCapsules Residence: A Vision for Modern Family Living Affordable design solution for families NeoCapsules, an innovative residential complex inspired by the Nakagin Tower concept, offers a dynamic and adaptable living environment that seamlessly integrates sustainability with an urban lifestyle. This innovative approach fosters growth, flexibility, and community interaction, making it more than just a building, … Read more
Automated Fire compliance assessment tool Fire safety in buildings isn’t just about alarms and sprinklers—it’s about designing spaces that prevent tragedies before they happen. Imagine if architects could assess the fire safety of their designs with just a click, ensuring compliance with global standards during the early stages of construction. Sounds futuristic? Not anymore. In … Read more
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT DECOMPOSITION | TOP DOWN APPROACH FUNCTIONS We have followed a top down approach for the creation of an algorithm that creates buildings that adapt to different climates and serve mostly to residential use. The algorithm starts dividing the plot into subplots using an optimized Voronoi segmentation, which are then arrayed and scaled in … Read more
In our seminar with Michael Salka and Mariano Gomez Luque, we explored the meaning of ecology and the multifaceted challenges of sustainability, materiality and humanity’s relationship with the planet. Over eight weeks, we delved into two distinct but deeply connected approaches to build with ecological thinking and addressing climate change as well as envisioning a … Read more
As part of my thesis research, I had an opportunity to join the residency program at the Autodesk Technology Center in Boston, where I continued refining my proposal, but now with the benefit of access to cutting-edge facilities and experts in the field. Autodesk, a global leader in design and technology solutions, develops tools that … Read more
abstract This thesis presents an experimental approach that enables architects to automatically generate and rank multiple building layouts based on specific metrics, focusing on the Polykatoikia—the prevalent multi-story residential building type in Greece. By applying graph theory, architectural spaces are conceptualized as nodes, and their relationships—such as adjacency—are represented as edges. The graph offers a … Read more
A road map using Ai & computational design # 01 the road map To convert a 2D raster plan into a BIM model, we first need to recognize the image contents and convert them into vectors, attaching relevant data. So , Our process focuses on three stages: image-to-vector, vector-to-graph , and finally graph-to-BIM During our … Read more
