Affordable Housing on ThinkTech Hawaiʻi

Prof. Park shared his thoughts on Affordable Housing in Hawaiʻi, why it has become a crisis, and what we can do about it. He explained “How Can Computational Design in Architecture Help the Architects Go Further” with the examples of 1) morphological transformation with data interpolation, 2) parametric variations + optimization, and 3) Cost Driven Optimization. His research project funded by Samkoo Hawaiʻi, the developer of Kapiolani Residence, demonstrates the successful collaboration between academia and the business sector to make a purposeful contribution for our society.  The future of Artificial Intelligence in architecture was also introduced as a design assistant not as a tool. A “master builder” concept was recommended as a role model for future architectural planners and designers.
