| MAS DFAB - Digital Foundations | Digital Foundations for the MAS in Architecture and Digital Fabrication is a projects based trimester to gain knowledge in computational design, robotic control, 3d printing and coding. | more info | Teaching |
| Circular Material Inventory for Circular Design Generation | This thesis addresses the absence of a comprehensive system and 3D data that can
facilitate seamless reuse of construction materials within existing digital workflows. This work
proposes a solution that explores
the use of an enhanced material database with a direct link to CAD software.

| OPEN PLANS | Open Plans is a collaborative online platform developed by Digital Building Technologies. It provides intuitive access to implicit architectural knowledge embedded in building floor plans. It is based on an open, expanding database of semantically labelled floor plans that can provide a basis for machine learning approaches in architectural research and design. Open Plans was made possible by funding from Innovedum. | homepage, plugin, more info, news, img1 | Research |
| Augmented Reality (AR) based modeling of reconfigurable sand molds for float glass | This thesis utilizes digitally reconfigurable sand molding for the
creation of freeform features in glass elements for architecture. This project investigates the
geometric potentials,
limitations of the material system, and the fabrication process with the AR system. Student: Ming-Yang Wang |
