Archi-Tech Network

Archi-Tech Network Archi-Tech Network is a collective of practicing architects sharing knowledge around the intersection of Architecture, Technology and Entrepreneurship.

Technology we use as architects to design as well as how technology influencing design.

We are back at ICD Stuttgart for part three of the tour. And this time it is all about how humans and robots work together.

Xiliu Yang walks us through the research from desk to robot floor, covering the digital workflows, augmented reality, virtual reality, and what genuine human machine collaboration looks like in practice. Not robots replacing people. Robots working alongside them.

Human Craft. AI Enhanced. 🚀

A look back at our two-day ATN x [MC] Studios x X-Figura Workshop!

From complex 3D modelling in Maya to AI-powered visualisation, animation and cinematic storytelling.

An incredible weekend bringing together designers online from around the world and in person at [MC] Studios in London.

A huge thank you to Mariana Cabugueira, the [MC] Studios team, X-Figura and everyone who joined us!

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at the weekend.

Archi-Tech Talk E14 | Ideatura: Automating 2D drawings & 3D modelling with AI

We’re going LIVE with Andrea Matta, founder of Ideatura, to explore how AI can speed up modelling and documentation.

See it in action:

→ IFC models converted into native Revit geometry.
→ Automated dimensions, tags, views and sheets.
→ Revit families and BIM details created from drawings and sketches.
→ 2D DWGs turned into 3D BIM models.

Practical demos, a discussion about the future of practice, and your questions answered live.

How much of an architect’s time goes into producing drawings rather than designing?

Dimensioning plans, creating families, organising sheets, rebuilding from a 2D drawing. It all adds up, and it is exactly the kind of work AI is starting to take off the plate.

For our next Archi-Tech Talk we are joined by Andrea Rocco Matta, founder of Ideatura, to see it in action. From converting 2D DWG drawings into 3D BIM models, to generating Revit families from sketches and automating dimensions, tags and sheets.

The bigger question is what this means for smaller studios. Could a small team now take on work that previously needed far more capacity?

Can AI actively participate in design? And if it can, should it?

George Guida from X-Figura raised some of the most important questions of the ATN Summit around what happens to the design process when AI enters the room, particularly at concept stage. The line between a useful tool and an overreliance on one is thinner than most people think. And the way you write a prompt is already telling you which side you are on.

A wall of 3D printed BIG projects. A mini world of built and unbuilt ideas.

One of our favourite details from the tour of BIG’s Copenhagen HQ and one of our favourite ever tours. It’s not one to miss.

An industrial robot. A 40ft container. 11 metres of linear track.

This is the prefabrication infrastructure behind ICD Stuttgart’s fibre composite research. A 210kg payload robot with enough reach to fabricate large scale structural components, and enough flexibility to accommodate different building systems and typologies. You can see it wrapping fibre around a pin and adjusting direction mid-wind to reduce friction at the end.

Big tool. Precise process and remarkably compact for what it can do.

Where Ideas Grow. Bentley Labs at the ATN Summit

A huge thank you to Greg Demchak and the Bentley Labs team for bringing one of the most visually striking exhibits. Immersive AI generated graphics by Chantel Matar .matar , a vision of London brought to life, and a genuine conversation about what happens when creativity and technology meet without compromise.

It was a real highlight of the summit and we are grateful to have had them as part of it.
