Building design and building information modeling (BIM) software are computer-aided design (CAD) products that are widely used in the architecture and construction sectors. Here are the 10 best Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools and workflows.

Meta has launched the image segmentation model and its entire dataset. While Meta named the tool it developed as Segment Any Model (SAM), it also made SA-1B Dataset, the largest segmentation dataset ever.

The ControlNet architecture is indeed a type of neural network that is used in the Stable Diffusion AI art generator to condition the diffusion process. The diffusion process, in which the model applies a series of transformations to a noise vector to generate a new image, is a critical component of the generator.

Brian Wu, an accomplished architectural and computational designer, will be leading a 90-minute beginner tutorial on Processing at the upcoming Computational Design: NEXT 13 online conference.

Architecture is constantly evolving from designing on earth, in water, reaching the sky, and now building high up on trees. Designing and constructing a treehouse is a challenging design process.

Bionic architecture takes inspiration from the physiological, behavioral, and structural adaptations found in living organisms. Bionic architecture emerged in the 1990s as a movement that drew inspiration from the fields of biotechnology and cybernetics, as well as from natural systems and processes.

One of Boston Dynamics’ most famous robots: Spot. Many of us may have known it from the video where it danced to the song Uptown Funk. The robot dog, who appeared with the image of a cute helper, inspired a Black Mirror episode, and in this episode, a not-so-cute side was introduced into people’s minds.

QS announced the top universities to study Architecture and the Built Environment in 2023. The index includes around 1,500 universities and filters by different criteria, from academic reputation to the number of international students enrolled and locations across Europe, Asia, and North America.

Clay Rotunda is a free-standing earth-based cylindrical structure that serves as the outer, soundproof shell of the SE MusicLab, a high-fidelity music auditorium constructed inside Bern’s renovated Gurten Brewery.
