The Design

About AI Sampling Singapore Funksioni Parësor: Arkitekturë Banimi

Teksti i Librit: Singapori është një qytet artificial. I trajnuar me një grup të madh të dhënash modelesh dixhitale 3D të ndërtesave shumëkatëshe që gjenden në Singapor, modeli i inteligjencës artificiale i projektuar me porosi gjeneron jo vetëm konfigurime formalisht të besueshme dhe semantikisht koherente, por fillon gjithashtu të imagjinojë forma arkitekturore të reja dhe të çuditshme, duke interpoluar dhe ekstrapoluar midis tipologjive standarde të banimit shumëkatësh si blloqet pllakë, pikë dhe grupim.

Unique Properties
Is it possible to sample at scale and at high-resolution every single building ever built in a country? If so, can such a dataset be used to train an AI model in generating new yet locally compliant buildings without any explicit regulatory control inputs? The project explores the design agency of deep generative neural networks in learning three-dimensional exteriority and interiority with a redesigned 3D generative adversarial network (3D-GAN) AI model. Winner of WAFX2024, IDA2024 and BLT2024.
Dimensions & Packaging
This is a digital AI x Architecture project. Each generated output is a new high-rise high-density residential public housing of up to 30 floors.

Production Technology
A custom generative AI model was trained from scratch using proprietary code base and dataset. Specifically, a 3D generative adversarial network (3D-GAN) AI model was trained to learn semantic and spatial configuration of high-rise high-density residential public housing in Singapore.
Design Challenge
The non-existence of 3D models and their corresponding floor plans was the first challenge. New workflow and tools had to be developed to not only collect (i.e., digitally and physically), but create (annotate) and curate (i.e., exploratory data analysis) such high quality dataset to train an AI model from scratch. Technically difficult due to the scalability of similar CAD representation which was overcome via a novel AI latent representation of 3D.
Research
A custom generative AI model was trained from scratch using proprietary code base and dataset. Specifically, a 3D generative adversarial network (3D-GAN) AI model was trained to learn semantic and spatial configuration of high-rise high-density residential public housing in Singapore.
Inspiration
Singapore is an artificial city! Trained with a large dataset of 3D digital models of high-rise buildings found in Singapore, the custom-designed AI model generates not only formally plausible and semantically coherent configurations, but begins to also imagine novel and uncanny architectural forms, interpolating and extrapolating among standard high-rise housing typologies such as the slab, point, and cluster blocks. Project exhibited at Venice Architecture Biennale and Singapore's Arts House.
Project Duration
This is an on-going and longer-term AI x Architecture research being conducted at the university design lab since 2021. It was however only published much later as an official architectural design award entry from 2024 onwards.
Operation Flow
This is a digital AI x Architecture generative research project, while the dataset was digitally collected from existing physical buildings in Singapore.
Patents
Currently no patent.
