Hello everyone,

We hope you all had a great day! It's Friday and we have some exciting news to share with you. 🎯

We just released PA Talks 59 where we had a great conversation with interdisciplinary designer and architect Hassan Ragab. If you are familiar with AI-generated works, you probably know him. We discussed artificial intelligence, his professional life, and architecture.

Additionally, tomorrow we have a workshop with Ignacio Revenga where we will be developing architectural solutions for complex geometries. The workshop will cover simple processes for generating basic geometry based on Voronoi distributions, topological study, physical simulations, data manipulation and visualization, and the creation of structural lattices based on the obtained geometry.🚀

We hope to see you there!

How 3D printing technology can be used to tackle the global housing crisis?

3D Printing is an additive manufacturing method that fabricates 3-dimensional objects by sequentially depositing layers of material, guided by digital blueprints. These actions are carried out by digital printers, using computer-aided design software to translate digital models into physical structures.
