ECO-PARAMETRIC ARCHITECTURE:

MATERIAL BASED RITUALS AND ECONOMIES

We are back! 10 Year as DS10 (Diploma Studio 10). We STILL Want To Learn. Join our studio at University of Westminster with Toby Burgess and Arthur Mamou-Mani. This year we will be looking at Temples and Sacred Spaces, using A.I. and Parametric tools, fusing nature and architecture in London’s discarded office buildings.

*“It may well be that foragers switched from gathering wild wheat to intense wheat cultivation, not to increase their normal food supply, but rather to support the building and running of temples.”*

To explore the intersection of artificial
intelligence and architecture, I’m using tools
such as Midjourney to generate A.I. powered
architectural prototypes. These prototypes
are expanded into parametric models using
Grasshopper3D, allowing me to create novel
and inhabited spaces that integrate living
elements such as plants, trees, and soils. Our
focus this year is on using A.I. in the design process and
linking it to specific industrial manufacturing
techniques such as CNC.

Imagine Airbnb and WeWork combined. You get
to own or rent an existing private pod as a space
to work in. This structure is fully off-grid, sustainably
heated and cooled using heat pumps which
extract water from the canal. Ecopods are located near canals as
their primary source of energy production uses
the canal water. It also comes with a good view.
