Hi, and welcome to yet another blog post! Today we’d like to talk a bit about the AI solutions and algorithms we are working with to generate floor plans. Our goal is to make AntArchitect able to provide multiple solutions for floor plan generation, and have already implemented two completely different ones, which we’d like to discuss and compare. We would also like to discuss already existing AI solutions that could benefit AntArchitect, such as the popular ChatGPT.

Hello, and welcome to this long awaited status update! We have been quiet the last couple of weeks because of midterms, but rest assured that things are happening behind the scenes. This week we would like to give you an update regarding our editor, and the first algorithm we have implemented in our backend.

A Greedy Evolutionary Algorithm

The algorithm we have chosen to implement initially is a hybrid greedy and evolutionary algorithm. What we mean by this is that there is a first part that chooses an initial sequence of rooms in a greedy way, and then a... read more

Welcome to our exciting journey into the world of AI and architecture! We are thrilled to introduce you to our project, where we aim to revolutionize the way floor plans are created using the power of artificial intelligence.

Why Floor Plans?

Floor plans are the blueprints of the spaces we live, work, and play in. They dictate the functionality and flow of a space, influencing how we experience it. But creating floor plans can be a time-consuming and complex task, often requiring the expertise of architects and designers. We believe there’s a better way, and that way involves AI.

Hello, and welcome to what will probably be the final post regarding the AntArchitect. The course, during which our task was to create AntArchitect, is nearing its end, and we had our final presentation and demonstration a couple of days ago. We thank you for joining us on this journey, and hope that it has been exciting and interesting.

The Final Product

We’d like to discuss the features of AntArchitect, and also what could be some possible future improvements, in the case that work on the product should continue after the course is finished. As you know by now,... read more

Hello, and welcome to another update! This time, we’d like to show you a fully functional minimum viable product, with a working editor and a simple algorithm for generating floor plans. In the AntArchitect web application, we start by logging in, which redirects us to the dashboard.

From here we can choose to create a new floor plan, which takes us to the editor. In the editor we plan to support two types of algorithms, one of them which were showcased in our previous update. As shown in the image below, we have a simple form... read more

Welcome to week three of the AntArchitect journey! This time, we’d like to give you a sneak peek of our frontend solution: a web application built on Next.js, and using React Three Fiber (a wrapper for Three.js) for displaying 3D graphics.

We want our design to be simple and intuitive, in order to make the tool accessible for all kinds of experience levels. Next.js forms the backbone of the frontend, ensuring speed and responsiveness. Its server-rendered pages, coupled with automatic code splitting, guarantee an optimal user experience. With Three.js integration, it enables a real-time rendering of... read more

Greetings, and welcome to the fourth week of the AntArchitect development cycle! Today, we’re excited to share our new logo, as well as some updates regarding our progress.

We’re very happy with how the logo turned out, and hope that it will strengthen our brand. It bears resemblance to an ant’s head, where the lower part of the face seamlessly transitions into a pen drawing with a ruler. This design embodies both components of our product name, the ant and the architect, representing the harmony between the natural world and human innovation.

For the color, we chose a shade of... read more

Greetings! We’re back with exciting updates from the second week of our project. This week, we’re thrilled to introduce you to our project’s newfound identity and share a sneak peek at our logo concepts.

AntArchitect: Our Product’s Name

After much brainstorming and creative exploration, we are proud to unveil the official name of our AI-powered floor plan generation tool: AntArchitect.

The name is inspired by the remarkable architectural prowess of ants. Just as these tiny insects collaboratively construct intricate structures, our tool will revolutionize floor plan creation with meticulous precision and teamwork. Ants are known for their efficiency and... read more
