In the Augmented & Mixed Reality class learnt how to work with unity game engine to create an individual projects that would support our thesis investigations in an interactive way. This project explores how digital tools can reintroduce play, creativity, and spontaneity into the contemporary city. Developed as part of my urban play thesis, the … Read more
Abstract Construction is responsible for a substantial share of global material waste and carbon emissions, and one of the reasons is structural: design, fabrication, and assembly are still treated as separate phases with fragmented handoffs between them. This podcast episode explores what changes when those phases are linked into a single, feedback-driven workflow where parametric … Read more
Shuai Zhang Have you ever felt that parametric architectural design is trapped behind a high barrier to entry? Traditionally, designers and clients must install heavy, complex software just to view or tweak a 3D model. For my final project in the Cloud-based Data Management module, I wanted to break down this barrier. The result is … Read more
Abstract This research investigates how Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be leveraged to generate structured and meaningful architectural environments for architectural visualization, video games, and animated films. It explores workflows between BIM tools and real-time game engines, focusing on the transfer and preservation of spatial logic and metadata. The study aims to demonstrate how BIM-based … Read more
How architectural neuroimmunology is redefining the relationship between design and human health. The AEC industry optimizes for physical efficiency but neglects the neuro-physiological impact of built environments. This research investigates how Generative AI and Game Engine simulations, integrated into BIM workflows, can enable predictive cognitive performance analysis, transitioning the discipline from Building Information Modeling to … Read more
PROBLEM: Current urban investment decisions, particularly in social housing, are largely based on financial feasibility studies, static socio-economic indicators, and ESG-style metrics that fail to capture how people actually experience and use space and often overlook real-time behavioral dynamics: how people move, engage with space, perceive safety, or interact socially. In dense metropolitan environments like … Read more
As the generations who have grown up around video games reach an age where they are beginning to buy homes, architects should provide advanced and easily navigable interfaces for people to interact with architecture. We should provide basic information on project mission and sustainability etc. and then allow potential customers to explore the designs in … Read more
Monsoon Nest is a modular housing proposal for Bangkok that responds to monsoon rainfall, flooding, and high-density urban conditions. The project explores adaptable modules, elevated structures, and passive climate strategies to create resilient, community-oriented living environments in a tropical context. The design of Monsoon Nest is informed by four primary parameters: contextual environmental data, parametric … Read more
The research visualisation map shows the meaning, value, and governance of land shift as it transitions from the physical world into the metaverse. It treats land not as a static material object but as a socio-technical construct whose definition changes with different forms of infrastructure, ownership systems, and human–technology relationships. In the physical world, land … Read more
GG WORLDS: A Blender plugin that enables users to instantly generate and customize 3D environments from text prompts, using generative AI to save time, cost, and boost creative freedom. Physical Prototype: Our prototype demonstrates an interactive workflow where users arrange physical maps and landmarks, then use a tablet AR app to instantly visualize and modify … Read more
In contemporary architectural practice, the gap between conceptual design and structural analysis often leads to delays, miscommunication, and inefficient iteration cycles. This project proposes an integrated workflow that bridges this divide by creating an interactive interface where architects can receive real-time structural feedback while scanning their preliminary physical model. By combining Unity-based visualization, QR code-enabled … Read more
ReGen.Ai is a data-driven design project that reconnects fragmented urban green spaces in Bangalore through multifunctional green corridors, using AI tools to guide nature-based, regenerative urban transformation.
