1 GANGNAM LIVING BLOCK
EPFL MxD lab

The course involved studying Gangnam's architecture using AI algorithms to analyze its potential. Students developed designs for urban blocks, integrating past and future aspects. The final stage focused on community living and new communal areas, culminating in a proposal for a specific block in Gangnam.

06 DEEP CITY- ZURICH

In the DEEP CITY ZURICH studio, we critically examined the role of artificial intelligence and deep learning in architecture, questioning if creativity in architecture is exclusive to humans and if machines can learn and generate meaningful architecture. We explored whether machines can transcend quantifiable data to achieve architectural quality and capture the elusive “genius loci”.

10 VIRTUAL PARLIAMENT

Virtual Parliament studio, examined the integration of virtual and physical architectures in political infrastructure. This involved exploring virtualization in politics and its impact on civic engagement, accountability, and direct democracy.
The studio was structured in three phases. The first phase analyzed global parliament typologies, focusing on the interplay between geometric form and different forms of politics and communication. In the second phase, we delved into virtualization, investigating political relations in virtual reality....

11 AA MEMBRANE PROJECT

The AA membrane canopy exemplifies scalability in architecture, ranging from material constraints to components for pressure and tension. This global form achieves structural agility, adapting to microclimatic conditions by offering shade and protection from heavy rain. Its porous design permits lateral wind flow, maintaining comfort while sheltering from direct sunlight and rainfall. This project demonstrates an intricate balance between environmental responsiveness and structural integrity. optimised

12 AI | FIELD CONDITIONS | REVERSING FORM-FINDING

Field conditions are defined by their ability to integrate diverse elements into a coherent spatial matrix, which renders abstract forces visible. They emerge from bottom-up phenomena characterised by complex local interactions, focusing on the spaces and relationships between elements rather than the elements themselves.

13 GenAI ALPINE REFUGE

The Alpine Refuge studio project investigates the interface between human architectural ideation and machine learning. By employing Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), the project examines their utility in generating new visual content, a practice central to architectural design. This research scrutinizes the potential of merging GANs with Natural Language Processing to create designs that are meaningful within a cultural and architectural context.
