The Meta-Designer: Why AI Doesn’t Kill Architectural Craft—It Elevates It
As generative AI shifts architects from makers to curators, the new craft isn’t just picking outputs—it’s designing the design process.
Essays
Essays and notes on architecture, computation, and design cognition.
Ilusi Efisiensi: Mengapa Digitalisasi Konstruksi di Indonesia Gagal Membenahi Kultur Sosial Kita?
Kecanggihan BIM di Indonesia menyimpan ilusi: revisi tiada henti dan burnout. Saatnya membedah kultur sosial di balik digitalisasi konstruksi.
Navigasi Ruang Laten: Membedah Epistemologi AI Sebelum Mengkritisi Hasil Generatif
Memahami epistemologi dan teknik pelatihan AI sebelum menghakimi anomali bentukan generatif dalam arsitektur.
Building a Better Bridge: A Revit-SketchUp Story
Exporting Revit to SketchUp shouldn't mean broken geometry and lost data. I built an open-source JSON bridge to fix that—now available on GitHub.
A Building Can Perform Well and Still Feel Wrong
Buildings can meet every technical target and still feel wrong. Why performance data alone cannot guarantee good architecture.
BIM Represents Buildings Better Than It Represents Design Intent
BIM stores what architects decide, but rarely why - a look at the gap between what BIM models capture and the design intent behind them.
Intuition and Algorithm in Harmony: Architects in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
What architects need to learn, from programming to algorithmic thinking, to work with AI rather than be replaced by it.
The Importance of Critiquing BIM in the Architecture World: Fostering Open-Mindedness for Advancement
BIM has transformed architecture, but advancing it further means being honest about where it still falls short.
Bridging the Gap: Balancing Tradition and Innovation in the Digital Church
How churches can adopt digital tools to extend community and connection without losing their traditions.
Understanding Game Age Ratings: Protecting Children from Inappropriate Content
A practical guide to how game age rating systems like PEGI and IARC help parents choose age-appropriate games.
Church and Virtual Reality: Exploring the Intersection
Exploring whether virtual reality has a meaningful place in worship, church community, and spiritual life.
Exploring the Techniques of Generative Design
An overview of generative design techniques, from cellular automata to algorithmic form-finding, and how architects use them.
