Optimizing Design Decisions With Machine Learning

Zvonko is an architect turned engineer and digital fabricator. He is currently addressing the challenge of integrating data science and machine learning into design and fabrication processes. He is working on his company, Pixolid UG, which operates in these fields, in Berlin. Zvonko has also been active in academia, working as a researcher and lecturer at various universities in Berlin and the surrounding area, including TU Berlin, BTU Cottbus, and IU Berlin, in the fields of digital fabrication, robotics, and computational/generative design. His work focuses on bridging the gap between digital models and physical realities by training models to enhance robot-to-robot and human-to-robot collaboration. In this workshop, he will share his experience of translating real-world objects from photographs and demonstrate how computer vision and adaptive toolpaths can transform fabrication and design workflows.
