Graph Thinking for Adaptive Living

Our Solution: The Co-creator App We’ve developed a Copilot App – a local AI system that lives in your building and speaks your language. Literally. You make natural language requests, and it translates them into real architectural actions by understanding the complex relationships between spaces and residents through graph databases and GDS algorithms. Here’s how … Read more

AQUA.NEST

AQUA.NEST: An AI-Powered Decision Support Toolbox for Adaptive Urban Design Using Nature-Based Solutions in Flood-Exposed Coastal Cities Coastal urban flooding is emerging as one of the most urgent climate challenges of our time. Without strong adaptation, annual flood damages could reach €930 billion globally by 2050, even with improved infrastructure (OECD, 2020). Rising sea levels and … Read more

THERMAL COMFORT_A predictive model for PMV index

Thermal Comfort Index Prediction // Definition OBJECTIVE: predicting thermal comfort in air-conditioned residential buildings using machine learning algorithms. What is indoor thermal comfort? Thermal comfort is “That condition of mind that expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment” (ISO 7730) People may feel that their surroundings are warm, cold or simply comfortable depending on the thermal state … Read more

The Carbon Blueprint

GWP-data enriched graphs Imagine being able to see the carbon footprint of a building, not after it’s built, but while it’s still a sketch. What if architects and engineers could get real-time sustainability feedback the moment they decide on a material or tweak a wall layout? That’s the vision behind Visual GWP. We combined Graph … Read more

KG LineART

A GRADIO tool that generates architectural line drawings from Rhino3D Viewport screenshots by relating on a trained LoRA of architectural line drawings that takes the viewport input prompt option setting and generate a ready to use line drawing The User even have the option to edit the Hue and Saturation of the line drawing and … Read more

ARchitect

Sketches in Space with AI and LoRA What if architects could doodle inside their designs—live, in 360°? ARchitect is a mixed-reality interface I developed for stylizing architectural spaces using expressive, cartoon-like overlays. Powered by LoRA fine-tuning and a custom-trained Flux, ARchitect reimagines how we interact with our built environment—by making architectural visualization playful, intuitive, and … Read more

Inpaint Materiality

Intro Designers know the pain: a perfect image—ruined by one wrong material. A distracting object. A missing texture. An awkward composition. You could retouch it manually, but how long will that take? And will it ever really blend? What if you could just circle the problem area and ask for something better? Something that fits … Read more

Faster Architectural Workflows with Generative AI: From Text Prompts to Custom LoRAs

Morph 2 LoRAs

Why “Faster” Matters A single photorealistic render can quickly be very expensive and take days to produce, locking design changes behind hefty bills and long waits for architects. Generative AI, through models like Stable Diffusion and custom LoRAs, slashes both cost and time, turning sketches into near-final visuals in seconds. By democratizing high-fidelity imagery, it … Read more

From Raw Acoustics to Predictive Insights: Modeling Comfort in Architectural Spaces

Introduction In this blog, we walk through the complete data science process applied to a unique challenge: predicting the acoustic comfort index of apartment units based on architectural and environmental features. This includes data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, interpretation, and tuning—with tools like XGBoost, Neural Networks, and SHAP for explainability. The workflow is split … Read more

CarbonAI

Bridging Carbon estimations in early design stages The built environment accounts for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, the urgency to integrate sustainability into architectural and engineering processes has never been greater. Yet, decisions made in the earliest stages of building design often lock in the majority of a structure’s lifetime carbon footprint, long before … Read more

WORKSHOP 3.2 _ REFLECTION

“Precision becomes poetry through reflection and sound.” Reflection is an immersive installation that explores the potential of precision and reflection between two robotic arms through synchronized movements. Equipped with mirrors, the robots become both instruments and performers. Concept: The law of reflection The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to … Read more

Coracle – Cocoon: Living Envelopes

Coracle

A coracle is a small, lightweight, round or oval boat traditionally made with a woven frame of wood or wicker and covered with animal hide or waterproof fabric. It’s designed to be easily carried and is mainly used in parts of the UK, for fishing or transport on rivers. Master Plan Firstly, we looked the … Read more
