Cybernetic Diagram
Simple back-end of how Sketch works, from the address input to a massing generator through custom algorithms to a variety of generative AI volumes and textures.
Through a convolutional solver the model generates a series of outcomes based on slope steepness, contextual elements and sunlight exposure.
early prototypes
With the release of early AI text- tovideo and NeRF models, a 3D workflow that merged the two was developed.
Custom buttons and prompt bar for the interface.
75% - 100% Sun Exposure
= Opaque Materials
= Walls
25% - 74% Sun Exposure
= Translucent materials
= Windows + walls
0% - 24% Sun Exposure
= Transparent Materials
= Windows
The chosen result is divided into 3 categories according to the percentage of sun exposure during a year.
The value of each face informs the generative model whether windows or walls are required according to the need to cover (or increase) the sun exposure.

Machine Vision
Series of experiments using computer vision for object tracking and digital fabrication
In this exercise, the program recognizes multiple closely located objects and assigns a colored circle to each one. The circle changes color based on the proximity of these objects to each other.

Building upon the previous exercise, the program assigns a bounding box to each object. This exercise will serve as the foundation for a generative structural project in which a digital membrane is generated based on the proximity of 2+ objects.
A LiDAR camera combined with a 6-axis robot arm enabled the creation of code-generated patterns based on the depth of an object's topography. AI-generated images and colors, produced with CycleGAN, were painted onto sculptures.
Custom Computer Vision Script was used to recognize depth in a foam sculpture. A custom algorithm generated patterns and colors based on depth data, which were then painted in real-time by the 6-axis robot arm equipped with a brush.
