HOSTILE
Architectural Alienation In a world that is rapidly urbanizing itself, architecture holds immense power to shape the lives of individuals and how they experience the public space. Yet, architectural design often neglects the various needs of the community it is supposed to serve, leading to alienation and exclusion, particularly for marginalized populations. – 1.1.Hostile design … Read more
Contexept
Contexept is a design-to-fabrication workflow that uses AI to generate context-aware façade designs and turn them into 3D-printable architectural modules. By combining semantic keyword clustering, image generation, and robotic clay printing, the system transforms abstract ideas into buildable, site-sensitive forms. It bridges digital creativity with physical construction, making AI a meaningful collaborator in architecture. Architecture … Read more
Spatial Cognition in Robotics: Optimizing Construction Workflow with AI
HBIM and AI, a perspective on new technologies for Heritage architecture
Brief Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) is a process for managing and conserving historical structures. Despite its potential and the European Directive 2014/24/EU, HBIM remains underutilized due to complex processes. AI-based technology can streamline HBIM processes at reduced costs, making heritage conservation more feasible. Technologies like LIDAR, TLS, photogrammetry (including UAVs), and SLAM, initially tested … Read more
AiR
AiR is an Augmented Reality (AR) interface designed for creation of temporary fabric structures with a wooden framework. AiR enhances your design experience by scanning the site and offering a catalog of structures tailored for shading, resting, or playing. With real-time AR visualization, you can preview your chosen designwithin the environment before assembling it. The … Read more
FAB-ARmour
FAB-ARmour is an augmented reality (AR) design system focused on artistic production and the development of body extensions (arms, shoulders, core). By using Grasshopper with the Culebra plugin, the project generates agent-based geometries that adapt to non-linear surfaces, creating complex digital structures. These designs are integrated into Unity AR, allowing for real-time visualization and iterative … Read more
YAKISUGI.TORCH
Github : https://github.com/MRAC-IAAC/YAKISUGI.TORCH Overview This project combines a thermal camera and an ESP32 to capture and analyze thermal data and distance measurements. It was developed as part of the YAKISUGI Torch Project, a system designed to optimize and standardize the traditional Japanese wood-burning technique for enhanced durability, pest resistance, and waterproofing. About the YAKISUGI Method: The YAKISUGI … Read more
TerraFlux: The Cloud that Rains
Narrative TerraFlux[the cloud that rains]: humanity’s rehearsal for the future, a transhuman data driven system TerraFlux as a Singularity ThresholdThe Technological Singularity marks the moment when artificial intelligence surpasses human cognition, triggering a cascade of rapid, uncontrollable innovation. At this threshold, AI will evolve autonomously, improving itself at an accelerating pace. This transformative leap will … Read more
Borde entretejido
Antecedente Primer Asentamiento (Destrucción del manglar).Desde su fundación el 4 de octubre de 1540, la ciudad costera de San Francisco de Campeche ha interactuado hegemónicamente con su litoral comprendido por manglar, lomas, tulares y la selva media caducifolia. Este modus operandi se ha perpetuado hasta los días actuales en decisiones del crecimiento y consolidación de … Read more
THE EDEN TOWER
INSPIRATION The project is born from the idea of rehabilitation, an inverse concept from Dante’s inferno, where the downward spiraling levels of damnation turn into and ascending stair of redemption. The process of re-insertion into society is understood as a Hero’s Journey towards the top, where the Garden of Eden awaits. Instead of being convicted … Read more
