Serpentine Seasons Animated Video

Zhou Leijing Animated Video Generative

Serpentine Seasons

Serpentine Seasons is an animated video created with artificial intelligence. The work retells the Chinese legend of the White Snake through the 24 Solar Terms, a traditional system for marking the year. Each part of the six minute video is linked to one solar term, and the scenes change as the seasons move forward. The images were produced with text to video generation and style transfer, which keep an Eastern visual style. Serpentine Seasons shows how artificial intelligence can present cultural heritage through digital storytelling.

Fractal Flower Eye Brain Exercises Interface

Yiqi Zhao Brain Exercises Interface Generative

Fractal Flower Eye

Fractal Flower Eye is a brain visualization that blends art, AI, and neuroscience to create a mind control experience. The interface translates brain activity into progressive fractals, offering a glimpse into human consciousness. Captured brain signals are transformed using machine learning and 3D math. Rendered in real-time, modular design allows for four-sided projection, detecting focus levels and enabling dynamic control. Interaction depicts deep learning technology's potential to enhance cognitive engagement, providing audiences with brain-generated art reflecting their inner world.

Diffusive Habitats Mechatronic Architecture System

Living Architecture Lab Mechatronic Architecture System Generative

Diffusive Habitats

Diffusive Habitats is an architectural system that combines distributed robotics, reinforcement learning and an online platform so that spaces can be reconfigured over time. Robotic units move modular parts to change the layout of a habitat. The modular parts are made of CNC-milled laminated plywood with embedded 3D-printed connection interfaces. The robotic prototypes are 3D printed in recycled plastic. The platform organizes space according to inhabitant requirements, structural integrity and environmental performance. The aim is to reduce demolition and make dwellings more flexible.

Endless Scenery City Poster

Zhou Leijing City Poster Generative

Endless Scenery

Endless Scenery is a series of city posters based on the ten scenes of West Lake in Hangzhou, China. The posters depict well known views such as Three Pools Mirroring the Moon and Curved Yard and Lotus Pool in Summer. Each image combines artificial intelligence painting with the classical Chinese watercolour style. The base images were generated with an AI painting tool and then refined in image editing software. Different colour tones express the character of each landscape. The posters can also be applied to stamps, publications, print advertisements and packaging.

Gothic Delicacy Cookie

Icy Design Oy Cookie Generative

Gothic Delicacy

Gothic Delicacy is a macaron designed around a Gothic visual theme. The shells are black, colored with food-grade activated charcoal, and made from finely ground almond flour, confectioner's sugar and aged egg whites. Sharp almond pieces and bronze-toned peaks form the decoration, giving the small dessert a dramatic appearance. The concept was first developed with an artificial intelligence image platform and then produced by hand. Each macaron is held in place inside a matte black box, which protects the shape and the surface until the box is opened.

Leaf Roof Solar Panel Collection

Tomi Rantasaari Solar Panel Collection Generative

Leaf Roof

Leaf Roof is a carport with a solar panel roof shaped like a leaf. The structure measures 5 by 7 by 3 metres and is made of carbon fibre reinforced polymers and transparent photovoltaic glass. Bifacial solar panels collect sunlight on both sides and can generate up to 5 kilowatt peak. The electricity charges electric vehicles parked below and supports household power. A connected application allows monitoring of energy production and use in real time. The leaf shape refers to the way leaves gather sunlight in nature.

Oh Chair Readers' Lounge

Ao Zhou Readers' Lounge Generative

Oh Chair

Oh Chair is a modern response to the iconic retro-futuristic egg chair. By incorporating the bent wire base and the visually open design of the signature seat, the designers were able to capture the essence of their approach to cutting-edge technology. Involving AIGC in the creation process allowed Oh Chair to showcase the designers' perspective on Artificial Intelligence: co-piloting with an open mind and careful consideration, embracing progress while being mindful of the surrounding context.

Lamellae Multifunctional Shelving

Trevor Ryan Patt Multifunctional Shelving Generative

Lamellae

Lamellae uses a bespoke multi-agent computational model to generate a geometrically complex but refined and conceptually precise shelving system that can be endlessly customized to adapt to existing spaces and the display of unique objects. Although it has an almost baroque sculptural presence, awareness of fabrication and assembly constraints built into the generative design allow it to be realized through various efficiencies: swarf cutting reduces cnc machine time and allows flatpack delivery, assembly sequence is self-supporting, and precise joinery ensures accurate placement and fit..

Darwin Bucky Exhibition Gallery

Kuber Patel Exhibition Gallery Generative

Darwin Bucky

Bucky is a parametric dome tent anchored to the ground which is inspired from geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller. The tanks are made of 1mm thick laser cut bent metal sheets and bolted together to create an isolated space without columns. Multiple blocks of Bucky can also be linked to create a Bucky cluster. It can be assembled or disassembled in few days for storage and can be transported via shipping container. Bucky was envisioned to be easy to carry around the globe. Bucky is a light weight structure. Its a flat pack structure which is made up of metal that makes it water tight.

Technology Inheritance Generative Architecture

Junming Chen Generative Architecture Generative

Technology Inheritance

Technology Inheritance is an artificial intelligence tool that generates building exterior designs. The tool creates building appearances in different architectural styles from text entered by the user. Each image is produced in a few seconds, and the design can be changed by editing the text description. The system was built by collecting and labeling thousands of architectural renderings, then fine-tuning an existing image generation model with the new data set. The aim is to help beginners reach a professional level of quality.
