UH Studio Architecture Design Podcast

In this episode, we talk with Pavlina Vardoulaki Pryor discuss computational design, how DesignMorphine was formed, its Masters programme on computational design and its Ph.D. programme. Pavlina is a computational designer and an academic working at the intersection of technology and design. She is currently working at Nike's HQ in Oregon. She is a founding member and CCO of D

In this podcast episode, I reflect on my my experience as an architecture professional and student and how important it is to have a balance between work and life, so that we are not completely overwhelmed by our projects. I believe that the way we have been taught about architecture and the way we practice is WRONG and it starts really early - in university, so when we develop ou

In this episode, we talk with our guest Mariana about digital architecture for the metaverse and web3, how design compares between the digital and the physical, optimism or lack thereof within the architectural profession, generational shifts, and how to maintain wellbeing. Mariana Cabugueira is an architect and the founder of Mariana Cabugueria Studio. She has previously worked at

New podcast episode with Arturo Tedeschi. Arturo that has been at the forefront of utilising and showcasing the impact of computational design. A true cross-disciplinary designer, Arturo has and continues to collaborate with some of the leading brands in the world. Find out about the man behind the celebrated AAD book that every Grasshopper user probably has on their desks, his sto

Learn about the free and open-source BIM package called BlenderBIM, offering a full-fledged native IFC editing experience within Blender’s user interface. BlenderBIM is part of the OpenIFC package, that allows native IFC. It is used for both small projects and for auditing on large complex international developments. Dion Moult is the founder and main developer behind BlenderBIM.

In this episode we talk with Bruno Postle, the maker behind Homemaker. Homemaker is an addon for Blender that uses Topologic's non manifold mesh algorithms, that allows you to model a low poly mesh and assign specific "patterns" and almost instanteniously turn that into an IFC BIM model in Blender. You will learn about his inspiration of creating homemaker based on Cristopher Alexa

In this episode we talk with Stephen Coorlast about AI and the importance of understanding geometry properly. Stephen explores AI tools the moment they are out and shows how they can benefit the architecture community. In this episode we talk about real world applications of AI and Stephen shows us a project which connected us - a parametric design project done with Sketchup. Also

In this episode Dimitar talks with Gaia on what architects can do to preserve their mental wellness in the typically highly stressful and intense academic and professional architecture environments.

Discussion about various impacts that AI will have on the architecture industry. We look at where AI is today and how it is already useful and we look at future possibilities of AI. We also talk about the media hype surrounding the AI scare and the reality of construction method constraints that show that AI is probably not coming for your architecture job any time soon.

In this podcast episode, we talk with Ping Hsiang Chen, who is a senior architect and computational designer at Zaha Hadid Architects. We discuss the importance of computational design in the holistic design process beyond concept stage, the importance of continuous learning, and Ping Hsiang describes how he developed a computational design model in Zaha that embeds design intellig
