Digitisation and computation
Developing digital technologies to assist design decision-making
Our researchers are developing new understandings of Artifical Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning tools for design generation. We utilise digital data to improve the design of buildings and associated workflows for procurement, production, and assembly. We investigate sensing technologies and Internet of Things (IoT) to understand data capture possibilities along with the use of mixed-reality technologies for visualisation and communication of design.
Generative architectural design engine
In this project, we partner with Lendlease Digital Delivery to investigate avenues to integrate these new technologies into a ‘design for construction’ pipeline.
Process engineering and design and estimating automation of Fleetwood’s product platform
The aim of this project is to leverage existing technologies, like Building Information Modelling (BIM) and computational design tools, along with state of the art machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, to digitalise and optimise design and estimating workflows, increasing accuracy and efficiency in the production of documentation for tender and fabrication.
Mixed-reality construction demonstration
For this project, Monash University collaborated with Holmesglen Institute, Ynomia, and Fologram to leverage Augmented Reality (AR) technologies to advance the assembly processes of prefabricated components within carpentry and construction sectors.
