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
A Methodological Approach to Urban Morphology and Hybrid Energy Systems in the Global South Project Statement: “Even as we advance in Energy Innovation, our cities continueto grapple with deep inequalities. In this research, I proposerethinking Urban Morphology—not merely as the physicalform of our settlements, but as a strategic lever for equitableenergy solutions. The conceptual Energy-Morphology … Read more
A Balance of living in a Hyper scale Concept Hyper-Buildings Have become a symbol of Dark and Dystopian living, where residences are in low living standards & disconnected from the world. Residential living in a hyper-building must balance high-density living with comfort, health, and amenities that can support and sustain inhabitants. The Residential Team aims … Read more
Project Scope and Objectives This project, developed as the industrial team, explores collaborative workflows in the context of a studio project focused on automation & architectural integration. The objective was to design an app that supports the development of multifunctional industrial spaces, guided by the Japanese principle of circularity known as ensō. The studio project … Read more
The Landscape of Risk India has witnessed 3782 major landslides between 2015–2022.Regions like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Kerala, and the North-East are especially vulnerable. Landslides disrupt cities, block roads, damage homes — and in some cases, like Wayanad in 2024, result in loss of lives and millions in damages. The Research Question How can remote sensing … Read more
The Hyper-B Residential Team final assignment of Collaborative workflows seminar Cover the internal collaboration with in the team and cross team interaction that we had with other teams of Hyper-B. Throughout the term the team worked on the development of living spaces for future residences of the tower. Residential overall role was to create Residential … Read more
Diving deeper into building a reliable rating algorithm The Importance & Significance of the F&B establishments in the City Food and Beverage (F&B) service outlets are significant indicators of urban progress as they reflect evolving consumer preferences, economic vitality, and the integration of social spaces within urban landscapes. These establishments act as hubs for community … Read more
Introduction As the Data Team, we didn’t produce any geometry. Instead, we focused on creating a data infrastructure that enhances collaboration between all design teams. Our primary goal was to streamline information flow, validate data integrity, and provide meaningful metrics that inform the design process. The Birth of our Holistic Approach One of the tacit … Read more
THE ESSENCE OF ENSO Ensō, the Zen circle, represents one of the most fundamental principles in Japanese aesthetics and philosophy. Traditionally drawn in a single, fluid brush stroke, it symbolizes: Complete Circle of Life)Main Unifying Theme: Like the Zen concept of ensō (the circle), the building embodies completeness through continuous cycles and perfect imperfection. Team … Read more
Data Our goal was to create a city within a city, an organism that operates 24/7, where functions overlap and change throughout the day based on residents’ needs. Each of the eight specific neighborhoods has spaces dedicated to changing functions. A key performance indicator (KPI) we used is the occupancy efficiency formula, measuring how effectively spaces are utilized over 24 … Read more
Industrial team dedicated to rethinking how we approach urban farming, renewable energy, and multifunctional infrastructure, is leading the charge. Their integrated workflow uses parametric modeling, automated data exchange, and business intelligence (Power BI dashboard) to optimize space usage and resource allocation in urban environments. In this post, we dive into a series of visuals that … Read more
Manual floorplan generation for high-rise residential buildings is labor-intensive and often overlooks key environmental parameters, limiting the ability to quickly assess performance-based design alternatives.
https://github.com/PaintDumpster/ai_for_robotic_fabrication.git In the field of robotic fabrication, precision is everything! Yet there’s often a significant gap between a simulated toolpath and the real-world movement of a robotic arm. Subtle discrepancies can lead to printing errors, structural issues, or failed prototypes. We explored how AI can be used to minimize this gap. This investigation sits at … Read more
In pick-and-place robotics, a robotic arm must move from a start position to a target location (e.g., to pick or place an object) while safely navigating around obstacles. These obstacles may vary in size, severity, or risk — requiring the robot to adapt its path based on the workspace condition. This project simulates the core … Read more
PROJECT OVERVIEW We applied 3D space syntax to distribute functions within each neighborhood based on distance and spatial requirements. Using Voronoi-based massing in collaboration with the Structure Team and macro adjacency matrices, we introduced eight neighborhoods within a 1km² building, creating a 24/7 active “city within a city.” These neighborhoods were refined with the Facade … Read more
