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.

Dubai is considered the hub of architectural and technological advancement with time. Dubai outdoes itself by designing and constructing more advanced and creative structures built each year.

Lilian van Daal bridges the gap between the natural and the artificial or designed worlds. She experiments with cutting-edge technologies and materials to meticulously mimic nature. She hopes that the resulting objects will provide insights and contribute to more sustainable production methods.

Global warming and increasing population negatively affect our basic needs for food and agriculture. Food insecurity, logistics, and various economic reasons also play an important role in the expansion of urban farms.

High-tech architecture originated in the 1960s and had its heyday in the 1980s but continues to play a relevant aesthetic role until today, depending on the definition and interpretation of ‘high-tech’.

When you’re new to technology as an architect or designer, it can feel like you’ve walked into a party where everyone knows what they’re talking about. Sometimes a brief and simple explanation is all that is required to grasp a new concept. And that’s precisely what we’ve got here: a jargon-free, plain-English tech dictionary for designers!

Smart materials are the future of efficient and cutting-edge design and construction. Future buildings design should strive to be efficient with less environmental impact hence, one must tend to have smart choices. They have a positive impact and benefits for any structure used extensively for construction purposes.

In 2022, delivery robots and scooters are part of the urban landscape in Tallinn, Estonia. Starship robots circle the city, delivering food safely, securely, and above all: autonomously, thanks to advanced technology that relies on “a mixture of computer vision and GPS”.

The workshop is covering generative algorithms in Grasshopper3D and their applications in designing deployable and transformable structures.

The concept of the EctoLife facility was designed by biotechnologist and science communicator Hashem Al-Ghaili which shows what childbirth might look like future. The artificial womb facility is powered entirely by renewable energy.
