DigitalFUTURES


DigitalFUTURES is an educational initiative launched in 2011. It was born of a collaboration between China and the United States, when Neil Leach brought a group of students from USC to China to collaborate with Philip Yuan at the College of Architecture and Urban Planning (CAUP) in Tongji University, Shanghai. Over the years, DigitalFUTURES has organized an annual series of activities consisting of workshops, lectures, conferences, and exhibitions hosted over the summer months by Tongji University. to find out more...

Artificial Intelligence in Architecture




Artificial intelligence (AI) offers groundbreaking possibilities across diverse sectors, especially in the realm of architecture. 

AI, particularly through machine learning (ML) subsets like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), is being leveraged to develop intricate architectural designs. An example includes Stanislas Chaillou's experimentation using GANs for floorplan designs at Harvard, which underscored the influence of style in AI-driven architectural processes. Tools like Delve by Google’s Sidewalk Labs, Finch 3D, and Higharc are integrating AI to generate architectural designs swiftly and efficiently. Additionally, NVIDIA's Omniverse platform offers a collaborative environment for 3D design simulations, with promising future prospects like GANverse 3D, which transforms 2D images into 3D models. While AI-based tools are advancing the field of architecture, the need for human intervention remains crucial in refining and finalizing these AI-driven designs.

Graph Algorithms for Architectural Design

If we can use a bubble diagram to study the relationship between different spaces, with the current new Turtle - Terse RDF Triple Language, Neo4j, graph-based programming language and graph algorithms, can it be applied for architectural design, can graph algorithms automate certain analysis to inspire design ideas?

speckle.works

One of the common issues in the construction industry is to communicate effectively and interoperating among different software platforms, disciplines, organisations and working levels. Speckle is an open source (MIT) initiative for developing extensive Design and data communication and collaboration platform (Stefanescu, 2015). To find out more...
