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.

AI FOR ROBOTIC FABRICATION: Smarter Motion by Bridging Simulation and Reality in Robotic Clay 3D Printing

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

Reinforcement Learning for Robotic Pick and Place

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

Collaborative Workflows: HyperA’s Data Sharing Approach

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

DESIGN FLEX- PHASE- II

Abstract Parametric design tools like Grasshopper empower architects to create adaptive and efficient spatial layouts, but their complexity presents a barrier for non-experts. This research proposes a community-driven design tool that leverages Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to learn from expert-authored Grasshopper scripts, enabling prompt-based parametric layout design. By encoding design … Read more

DECODING URBAN MOBILITY

ABSTRACT; Decoding Urban Mobility: This project evaluates the impact of AI-driven traffic management versus conventional fixed-timing methods on urban congestion. It analyzes real-time and historical data—including traffic patterns, weather, demographics, and incident reports—from cities like London, Barcelona, and Los Angeles and compares machine learning models (e.g., LSTM, GRU, XGBoost) with traditional techniques. The study identifies … Read more

Data Handling and Collaborative Workflows: Hyperbuilding-B Data Team

Our BIMSC studio project centers on designing a ‘hyperbuilding’ in Tokyo’s Minato Ward—a self-sustaining development that integrates closed-loop ecological systems like on-site food production, photovoltaic energy generation, and industrial modules. The building includes mixed-use zones for amenities, services, and commerce, all anchored by a transit hub built into a podium above Shinagawa Station, supporting the … Read more

HUSKY + UR

AIM The goal is to teleoperate both the Husky robot and the UR10e arm, enabling them to avoid obstacles on the floor and push those that are unavoidable.  To achieve this, we designed a system that allows the user to control both robots using any available camera, incorporating hand tracking for intuitive command execution. SYSTEM … Read more

Collaborative Workflows: Hyper A – Facade

Collaborative Workflows and Techniques for Façade Design . We explored both internal and external collaboration strategies with all design teams at HYPER A. Our team focused on three key areas: adaptive façades, energy efficiency, and smart architectural systems. To guide our design process, we established clear performance metrics, including Daylight Factor, Panelization strategies, and Energy … Read more

BIM automated process in design workflow

Integrative Concept Introduction The goal of the integrative modeling seminar is to transition this design from a computational model into Revit, enabling us to generate construction documentation, schedule project’s elements, and assess the overall project data, therefore the performance of our concepts through KPIs. Concept Our Team’s vision is to create the Enso hyper building. … Read more

Timber Sunscape: Densify blocks with area and solar constraints

Solar

Project Concept This tool uses open source data to estimate a site’s Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and allows users to explore different volumetric configurations. It leverages modular units based on CLT Mass Timber for a flexible structural framework and incorporates solar angle data to optimize designs for sustainability and contextual responsiveness. Who is the End … Read more

Literary Landscapes &AI-Driven Urban Design

tres tombs

A speculative approach to Design through data, literature, and participatory AI in Sant Antoni Our urban issue: The Lack of Narrative-Driven Urban Design in a Data-Driven City Contemporary urban design increasingly relies on AI and big data, often sidelining human stories, cultural narratives, and historical context in shaping urban spaces. While data-driven design optimizes efficiency, … Read more
