AI For Robotic Fabrication Workshop : Reinforcement Learning for Intelligent Grid-Based Carving
Can an AI agent learn how to carve a shape — not by following a predefined path, but by figuring it out on its own? https://github.com/IaaC/AI_Robotics_Octopus.git Inspired by the precision of traditional craftsmanship, especially techniques like Japanese joinery where every cut matters, we wanted to see if a machine could learn that same logic in … 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

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
Hyperbuilding A – Data Team
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
Hyper A – Facade Team
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
Ensō Hyperbuilding | Services
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
Hyper B: Industrial Strategies for Urban Farming through Data
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
InFormed.
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
