This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041 - Engineering, totaling $237,007, will be used by the Cal Poly Corporation at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA to create a process that combines human creativity and computational intelligence to design more effective, adaptive building technologies.
The key goals are to: 1) establish a strategy for integrating architectural design with physics-guided machine learning and optimization to create origami-inspired, environmentally responsive building components; 2) develop computational tools to evaluate the performance of these adaptive structures and incorporate human feedback; and 3) introduce new structural concepts into the architectural design process. This work aims to accelerate innovation in adaptive building technologies by merging human and computational design approaches. The project will also generate unique datasets to support further machine learning and validation of novel folding patterns.
