Meanders on the Lower Mississippi River In the battle between architecture and nature, nature tends to win. Therefore, it is important that we understand how rivers move over time so that we can know the best and the worst places to build. Our project studies the Lower Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois to New Orleans, … Read more
Embarking on a project set within the bustling cityscape of New York, we aimed to unveil latent development potentials in urban spaces. Bulk, or the capacity for expansion or extension of a structure within the constraints of zoning laws and local regulations, harbors unexplored opportunities. Often, significant development potential lies hidden within existing building envelopes, … Read more
ABSTRACT Mashraraya is an essential element of Islamic architecture, and its significance surpasses the aesthetics and symbolism. It serves as more than just a decorative feature, protecting the interior spaces from harsh weather by providing shading and encouraging natural ventilation. It also offers privacy and can be used as a structural element. The project’s objective … Read more
PROBLEM Maximizing energy efficiency and comfort in buildings with strategically designed and placed sun shades for optimal solar heat reduction is becoming crucial in cities especially in arid zones. This raises an important question how can we use new technologies in achieving such goals. ML MODEL SELECTION in 2017 a very interesting model using Image-to-Image … Read more
Leveraging the Wave Function Collapse Algorithm for Application on Layered Quadrilateral Meshes Abstract Procedural Morphologies is a novel computational design workflow in the field of discrete design. It leverages the Wave Function Collapse Algorithm for application on any quadrilateral mesh. Thus a coherent three-dimensional aggregation solution can be generated for any quad mesh using a … Read more
Consciousness Information Shift, Through an AI Chain This concept of sequences explores the intersection of consciousness, artificial intelligence, and the transformation and communication of artistic expressions. Drawing inspiration from the children’s game “broken telephone,” this investigation involves a sequence of artificial intelligence algorithms attempting to interpret and translate various forms of artistic media, thereby assessing … 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
