The evolution of architectural design is increasingly shaped by computational tools that support complex form exploration and performance-driven decision-making. Traditional form-finding methods are often limited by the designer’s manual iteration speed and the inability of existing machine learning models to generate structurally coherent, user-guided architectural forms. Emerging techniques, such as Stable Diffusion and Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), enable more efficient training and controlled generation of 3D morphological structures. By integrating heat-map-based geometry control with diffusion models, architects gain a powerful workflow for producing diverse design alternatives and achieving seamless transitions from conceptual forms to realistic renderings. This research situates itself within the broader framework of AI-assisted design and aims to expand the creative and technical capabilities of form-finding practices. Limitations of Existing Machine Learning Approaches in Form...

ArchiDiff represents a significant advancement in AI-driven architectural visualization by addressing the long-standing limitations of 3D reconstruction from 2D images. While traditional methods perform adequately with small or simple scenes, they often struggle to handle complex, large-scale architectural forms. ArchiDiff overcomes these challenges by integrating a curated architectural dataset, diffusion-based 3D generation, and interactive design tools that support early-stage architectural workflows. This platform enables architects to seamlessly convert images into accurate point-cloud forms and modify them instantly using intuitive 2D interactions. Architectural Design Challenges in Image-Based 3D Reconstruction 3D reconstruction from images in architecture remains limited due to occlusions, irregular geometries, and dense urban environments that complicate visual interpretation. Existing reconstruction pipelines typically fail to generalize to buildings with complex facades, ...

High-fidelity textured 3D models have become essential for documenting structural damage, guiding restoration decisions, and enhancing visual communication in architectural heritage conservation. Traditional LiDAR-based texture modeling is often impractical for large-scale sites due to their vastness, terrain complexity, and gaps in structural capture. Recent research explores alternative reconstruction approaches that overcome these limitations while maintaining high geometric accuracy and visual quality. Limitations of LiDAR-Based Texture Modeling in Large-Scale Heritage Sites Large architectural heritage sites often suffer from incomplete LiDAR scans caused by occlusions, irregular topography, and scale constraints. These limitations reduce the reliability of LiDAR-derived textures and restrict their role in conservation workflows. Understanding these challenges highlights the need for alternative acquisition and modeling techniques that can capture complex geometries more efficie...

The integration of nature-inspired design with neuroscientific insights is gaining momentum in architectural research, driven by evidence linking built environments to human health and environmental performance. While biophilia and biomimetics offer pathways to connect with natural systems, neuroarchitecture deepens this understanding by examining how spatial qualities influence perception, cognition, and emotional balance. This research movement highlights the need to move beyond superficial natural elements and towards scientifically grounded design strategies that promote genuine well-being and sustainability. Bridging Biomimetics, Biophilia, and Neuroarchitecture Recent studies reveal strong complementarities between biomimetic strategies, biophilic patterns, and neuroarchitecture principles. Biomimetics informs functional innovation inspired by ecosystems, while biophilia reinforces emotional and psychological connections to nature. Neuroarchitecture adds empirical evidence on ...

The study explores the evolving role of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) within digital documentation workflows dominated by LiDAR point clouds, specifically in the context of modern architectural heritage. Using the Bouw pub building in the Netherlands as a case study, the paper critically examines how these two technologies differ and where they can complement each other. Through comparative analysis of acquisition, visualization, segmentation, and dissemination, the research highlights the potential of 3DGS not as a replacement for LiDAR but as a powerful visualization and engagement tool within hybrid workflows. Technological Comparison of 3DGS and LiDAR in Heritage Digitization This topic focuses on evaluating the core technical characteristics of 3D Gaussian Splatting and LiDAR point clouds within architectural heritage documentation. While LiDAR captures structurally accurate, dense geometric data, 3DGS provides real-time, photorealistic rendering that enhances visual perception...

Plant height and branching are key architectural traits in woody ornamentals, directly shaping plant form, aesthetic value, and landscape adaptability. In Lagerstroemia indica , contrasting growth habits between the compact cultivar ‘Fenjingling’ and its naturally occurring tall mutants provide an ideal system to investigate the genetic and cellular factors driving architectural diversity. Through a combined approach integrating whole-genome resequencing, cytological measurements, and transcriptomic validation, researchers have uncovered key regulatory mechanisms—most notably sequence variations in the transcription factor WRKY40 —that control cell proliferation, cell elongation, and ultimately plant height and branching architecture. Phenotypic and Cytological Characterization of Architectural Traits A rigorous comparison of morphological and anatomical traits revealed substantial differences between ‘Fenjingling’ and its tall mutants. The mutants showed marked increases in plant h...

  Prepalatial architecture in Minoan Crete presents a compelling field of study due to its remarkable simplicity, diversity, and fragmentary preservation. The architectural remains of this period form a heterogeneous body of evidence that reflects multiple local traditions evolving independently. Traditional morphological or typological classifications have struggled to capture the essence of this early architectural landscape. Therefore, shifting focus toward design-based analysis offers a more insightful pathway. By examining spatial organization and structural logic, research can reveal patterns pointing to a more cohesive architectural identity than previously assumed. Diversity and Fragmentation in Prepalatial Architectural Remains The architectural remnants of Prepalatial Crete exhibit notable variability in size, form, and construction methods. This diversity, coupled with the fragmentary state of the material, has long complicated attempts to develop unified typologies....

Ice-shell architecture faces significant challenges due to its sensitivity to environmental conditions, as weatherability directly influences structural safety, lifespan, and industrial viability. Existing methods to enhance weatherability tend to be expensive, data-heavy, or heavily dependent on expert experience. This research introduces a cost-effective, early-stage optimization methodology using explainable surrogate models to support design decision-making. By integrating computational tools with interpretable AI techniques, the study aims to improve performance prediction, streamline workflows, and increase automation in the architectural design of ice-shell structures. Weatherability and Structural Reliability of Ice-Shell Architecture The climatic vulnerability of ice-shell buildings is a major factor restricting their large-scale application, especially in cold regions such as northeastern China. Extreme temperature fluctuations, solar radiation, and wind loads contribute to ...
