Kinetic Intelligence

Service Description

A highly creative and artistic workshop exploring the fusion of AI, procedural design, and motion in architecture using Houdini FX. We will create novel, fluid 3D architectural spaces, shaped by AI-driven patterns and body motion dynamics, pushing the boundaries of form-finding through movement-inspired design. Core Themes AI as a Design Partner: Using AI tools (MidJourney) for generative architecture. Dynamic Architecture: Designing movement-responsive elements influenced by environmental and human inputs. Motion as a Generative Force: Extracting motion trails from dance/body movement and applying them to procedural 3D spaces inside Houdini FX. Workshop Structure (5 Hours) Introduction: AI in architecture & kinetic design case studies. Procedural Generation: How motion-driven algorithms shape spatial forms in Houdini. Generating AI-driven novel 3D spaces in Houdini, influenced by dance-inspired motion dynamics. Rendering & Animation for storytelling and architectural visualization. Final Project Showcase & Real-World Applications.
