We are developing two different computational approaches, both based on shape grammars: A_Shaper (procedural knowledge) and Shaper_GA (Genetic Algorithms). The aim is that both implementations can generate design alternatives for housing layouts that correspond to the need and wishes of inhabitants. Wi | 2018 |

| Art Installation/Exhibition/Performance | A quasi-real virtual reality experience: point cloud navigation | In this project you can navigate in a point cloud by using an immersive reality device. The project aims at exploring the possibilities brought by recent technologies to visualize in a quasi-real way an existing building survey. To do so a 3D scan survey was performed to an existing building and the resulting 3D point cloud model was used in an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) environment during the rehabilitation design for an existing building. The use of immersive VR to visualize point clouds enables a type of experience of the “real” building not possible by any other mean. Indeed, VR provides designers with an incredible source of authentic building elements that allows them to have a quasi-real experience of the building. The visualization of such point cloud in immersive VR enables to transport designers to a new dimension where not everything from the existing building has a place but just the main essence of it levitating in a virtual world. With this project we want to discuss | 2019 |
| Art Installation/Exhibition/Performance | A robotic dance | This project presents an Augmented Reality (AR) simulation of the flight of drones when assembling bricks to construct a wave-like wall. The performance of the robotic building process is visualized by using the simulation of the construction with an AR optical see-through device (Microsoft Hololens). Besides the technical function of drones while constructing the wall, the study aims to explore the aesthetic means of AR to simulate a building process and analyze the consequences it has to architecture design. The sense of realness is given not by photorealistic representation of the built wall, which uses basic graphic design, but by the position of the virtual wall and the surrounding real elements that allows the wall to continuously grown without touching any real element. The audio stimuli that accompanies the visitor all the way when using Hololens, referring to a drone’s flight, empowers the feeling of realness. The study discusses the potential of Artificial Realities, namely A | 2019 |
