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
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
Problem statement Pavilion design is deceptively demanding. Even though these structures are small, the creative expectations are incredibly high. In most competitions or studio settings, we’re expected to deliver rich, meaningful concepts – drawing on cultural references, environmental context, and symbolic language – all within just a few days or even hours. At the same … Read more
Sobre latencias y oportunidades en el abordaje de la vacancia en la Ciudad de Mendoza 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 crecimiento … Read more
As an extension to our Digital Matter studio project, KINXA, developed the computational design portion utilizing Grasshopper to combine both the use climate analyses and optimizing tools to help us generate the most suitable design iteration for our project. PROJECT CONTEXT KINXA’s Mission: KINXA aims to bring vernacular construction back into contemporary architecture by systemizing … Read more
Project by Saad Khan and Sai Mohan Satwik Introduction- Evolution In nature, evolution is the quiet engineer — iterating lifeforms through adaptation, selection, and mutation to thrive in ever-changing environments. From the spiral of a seashell to the branching of trees, nature doesn’t design — it evolves. Inspired by this process, computational design tools now … 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
Multi-objective optimization – a living panel grown from bio-waste, offering thermal and acoustic comfort. designed as a retrofit solution for the existing low-energy-performance building stock, it’s paired with a digital tool and suggests the best optimized panel for acoustics and thermal resistance, bringing sustainable design to your fingertips. This study introduces a form-finding method for … Read more
Rethinking Towe Typology with AI: This project explores the redesign of contemporary tower structures using machine learning (ML), challenging the repetitive, profit-driven design seen in cities like Hong Kong. The goal is to discover new typologies through AI and stacking rules, and tren translate them to a robotic fabrication system (pick and place). AI-generated towers … Read more
| INTRODUCTION | Learning Structures: From Parametric Rules to Machine-Made Forms. In this project, we explored the interplay between parametric design, machine learning, and robotic fabrication. Starting from Kapla block assemblies controlled by simple deformation rules, we trained a GAN to reinterpret and generate new structural variations. The process concluded with robotic pick-and-place construction, closing … Read more
_Architecture Inspired by Ensō: Unity Through Cycles At the heart of The Vertical Machine lies a philosophical foundation. Borrowing from the Zen concept of ensō, the circle that symbolizes the beauty of incompleteness and the continuity of cycles, the project embraces imperfection and transformation. Just as an ensō is drawn in a single fluid stroke, … Read more
A Brief Introduction The site for Hyperbuilding-B is immediately adjacent to that of Hyperbuilding-A, which is nestled in the Minato Ward of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. Minato is one of Tokyo’s 23 special wards and is known for being a major business, diplomatic and residential hub. It is heavily urbanised, with approximately 14,000 people per … Read more
