KSD Research Group

Supporting architects using reference buildings during the early design stages through advanced information technology.


In order to digitally formalise architectural objects digitally, our diverse research group from the TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF MUNICH (TUM) and GERMAN RESEARCH CENTER FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (DFKI) propose semantic buildings fingerprints to identify a building similarly to the unique human fingerprint. In order to map the spatial structure of architectural situations within our projects funded by the GERMAN RESEARCH FOUNDATION (DFG), graph-based approaches are investigated to mathematically represent fingerprints for information, such as space, their connections, alignment, orientation and urban integration.
