AUTOMATION

Proper verification of design assumptions in the early investment stages requires the creation of precise three-dimensional context models. Parametric topography and building volumes provide an essential foundation for advanced spatial analytics, including shading studies, visibility analyses, as well as calculations related to building physics and urban microclimate. Spatial definition of the surroundings enables the verification…

In daily design practice, we often encounter situations where the BIM process clashes with the reality of archival or industry documentation based on the DWG format. We receive technological backgrounds, surveys, or architectural concepts containing hundreds, and often thousands, of blocks. Each of these represents a specific piece of equipment and frequently holds assigned CAD…

From Structuralism to AI. How Code Became the New Grammar of Architecture. Is architecture a language? This question was asked in the mid-20th century not only by linguists but also by architects—especially those associated with European Structuralism and Japanese Metabolism. Today, in the era of algorithms, parametric design, and artificial intelligence, the answer seems even…

We have all likely experienced a situation in a cinema or theater where our enjoyment of the performance was drastically reduced by the head of the person sitting in the row in front blocking our view. From the user’s perspective, this is an ergonomic defect. From the perspective of the engineer designing the auditorium space,…
