About me. I was born in Lima, Perú. Graduated in Architecture and Urbanism from Ricardo Palma University. My relationship with cutting-edge technology and computational design thinking comes from my curiosity about computers, digital systems, robotics, spaceships and even games, not only since I was a kid but with all the knowledge I gained at university where it starts my obsession with computational design softwares and robotics. Since I finished my undergraduate studies I’ve been strongly related with the academic field, working with students, with tutors and so on. These gave me a lot of motivation for taking my steps forward and always keeping me learning new skills, new tools and software, new ways of thinking in the architectural field taking me out of my confort zone. I believe that nature can give us tons of information and lots of formulas for inspiration and creation, however I also believe in the power and potential that lie in the human brain, the strongest tool ever existing but less understood. We can agree that humans have been really fascinated in mimicking nature maybe our whole life in history but what fascinates me the most is this idea that now that we can mimic nature in some many ways, now it’s time for us to teach machines to mimic us, not only in our natural way of being but in the way we think and create. That’s why part of my personal ongoing research are more related to Artificial Intelligence as a tool for designing and predicting spatial situations. I believe in the power of data as a material for designing. I think we have learned a lot from AI maybe even more than from nature, just because the A.I. is more a reflection of ourselves than the nature is. Nevertheless, maybe we will find our answers in the way we believe in nature systems and sinthetic tools, analog and digital coexisting in a new kind of ecosystem, or maybe something even more than it. My current academic work with my undergraduate students are based in the experimentation with materials, natural and sinthetic, as a laboratory scientists. In order to understand them in a very deeper way. Seeing them as living systems more than a simple chemical structures that we use to build, in the pursuit of this idea that we can grow buildings. Buildings that can repair itself, that can assemble autonomously, learn from context, adapt through time and even replicate themself. One step at a time. I see myself as a curious kid, dissatisfied and disruptive in many ways. Always open for listen to new ideas and discuss all the new ways of seing not only architecture but a lot of other disciplines that can contribute the architectural thinking. In a nutshell, to learn how to see because everything in this world connects to everything else.

01. Deepdesign: Architecture & 3D Neural Networks / DigitalFutures - University of Michigan Tutors: Matias del Campo, Sandra Manninger, Alexandra Carlson, Danish Sayed, Dongseop Mike Shin. Student: Pedro Venegas Rodríguez “The goal of the DeepDesign workshop was to introduce us, uninitiated in the use of Artificial Intelligence in Architecture, to two specific methods of design with Neural Networks. The 2D-2D Neural Styletransfer technique allows to interrogate the ways that machines see the world. With this in mind, the method can be used to mine the repository of the architecture discipline (facades, silhouettes, massing, forms and programs). The cross-pollination of architectures that can be achieved using Neural Networks forms a novel provocation, as the results are strangely familiar but but still oddly alien. The examination of these architectural artifacts ignite discussions on aspects of agency, authorship and sensibility in a posthuman world. In continuaiton of this technique students learn how to jump from 2D to 3D, using 2D-3D Neural Style” (DeepDesign Team) For this purpose we worked with Fast.ai and Paperspace console.

The main objective of this research was to train a neur al network with images of peruvian mountainous parks in order to explore new formal results in peculiar urban conditions. This specifically urban condition was one of the most iconic peruvian slum. San Cosme slum is so important in peruvian history because it was the first case of private property illegal massive invasion (1946). The Neural Network was trained with satellite images of “Lomas de Lachay”, a peruvian mountainous natural park. The main goal was to use that satellite image as an “style” image, in order to reimagined the “content” image of San Cosme slum satellite image. The more data we introduced in the neural network the better results we got. It was important to notice that “weight” was a really significant parameter to be tweaked. In the image above we can see al the inputs and output we got from the AI during the process.

These other explorations was base in the idea of reimagined Lima Historical Buildings, basically 60s Modern Buildings and other Republican 20s Buildings, from the perspective and analysis of Zdzislaw Beksinski’s paintings. The main question here was: Could the AI identify significant traces in a artist drawing in order to reimagine architecture? The interaction between “style weight” value and “content weight” value results in different visions for the building analysis. This phase of the research give us more information for the inspiration and initial process for designing. Some of the outputs were treated as information maps, basically displacement and normal maps in order to evaluate their 3D caractheristics. As these images are outputs from satellite pictures, they were used inside render engines to create some 3D topographical models, this process were usefull to see how AI could convert 2D to 3D information to create spatial situations. For this particular outputs, Cinema4D render engine were used.

-13-
In order to obtain better resolution outputs, it was necessary to subdivide inputs images. Better input resolution images result in better resolution output images. In this exploration we used again Zdzislaw Beksinski cathedral painting as “style image� in order to reimagined Lima Cathedral, a 16th Century Building in Lima, Peru. The final outputs we put together in Photoshop software in order to create a bigger canvas, obtaining an astonishing image with an unique style.
-14-
The final process of the research was to explore 2D to 3D style transfer. ‘This project uses the neural 3D mesh renderer by H.kato, Y.Ushiku, and T.Harada to achieve dreaming and style transfer in 3D.’ (DeepDesign Github)

CASE_ This project is about the exploration of a multiple layer printable structure throughout robots using adobe and quincha materials from ancient culture of Pachacamac. The return to this ancient materiality is an inspiration to be applied through robotics in order to develop multiple scale architectural spaces. This vision is aimed to explore a close colaboration between humans, intelligent machines and nature in different scales of construction, in order to humanize construction processes in the future, and generate different ecosystems conditions for a sustainable balance in cities.
CONCEPT_ The architectural system works merging different layers of materials printed by robots: reinforced concrete for structure, adobe and quincha for divisions, soil and seeds to allow different ecosystems to live with humans.

SIMULATION PROCESS
04. Intricacy > Pixologic Zbrush Workshop / Futurly.Space Tutor: Vamsi Krishna Vemuri Student: Pedro Venegas Rodríguez This nested workshop operated on a series of subdivision modeling and sculpting strategies using Pixologic Zbrush. Detailing, Ornamentation and aesthetic articulations are a prime focus area. The first phase dealed with familiarizing with the UI and various sculpting and extraction strategies (Alphas, Masking, arrays, Zmodeler, Booleans). Using this arsenal, we explored the destabilization of forms, creating ornamental extensions, connectivity, and creating monumentality to various architectural elements. We also dived into meshing retopology techniques using dynamesh, remesher, and decimation. The goal of this session was to achieve more intricate singular compositions using a series of techniques. In the last phase, we expanded on the techniques we learned and extend it to spaces. Live booleans, snapshot modeling, advanced kitbash workflows and exploring the creation of complex symmetrical configurations. We also experimented with surface-level detailing of forms, using maps/alphas and deformers. The final result was intricate architectural composition reflecting elegant monumental characteristics.

05. Hyper Skins v1.0 > Autodesk Maya Workshop / Design Morphine Tutor: Aleksandar Bursac Student: Pedro Venegas RodrĂguez
Hyper Skins V1.0 focused on polygonal modeling techniques on the human body to develop new and interesting body typologies. It started with an introduction into Maya low poly modeling looking into the importance of topology and advantages of procedural modelling. We inspected how procedural modeling greatly increases output in iterative design in a controlled manner through easily reproducible stages of transformation. The focus was to gain a basic understanding of the logic behind working with meshes in Maya with the focus of progressively adding detail and exploring workflows with parent meshes and patterning as a means to introduce complexity into the sculpting process. A further exploration into the control of both low poly and high poly meshes with the use of deformers and other basic Maya toolkits that follow non destructive and reversible workflows was developed. We experimented with a workflow that contributes to the easy creation of a multitude of options that belong to the same family of objects that sequentially diverge and differentiate into different modelling outcomes during the design process.

06. Spatial Synthesis v1.0 > Autodesk Maya, Rhinoceros 6, Grasshopper Workshop / Design Morphine Tutor: Alejandro GarcĂa Gadea Student: Pedro Venegas RodrĂguez
Spatial Synthesis V1.0 focused on polygonal space morphing by way of low poly meshes and non destructive morphing techniques utilizing Maya and Grasshopper to generate living cell typologies. The combination of Maya low poly polygonal modeling along with parametric Grasshopper programming makes the perfect workflow for iterating through various versions of spatial situations and combinations. Geometry iterating was performed by various morphing, blending, and deforming workflows as well as user interactions. The proposed procedural and algorithmic approach allowed us to explore different exterior and interior habitable architecture conditions which express controlled freeform fluidity in their transitions. Upon arriving at acceptable clean mesh geometries we learnt to apply details, textures and patterns onto them driven by numerous data field conditions to complete the vision of new living units in a way which blends elegant form, fluent spatial functionality, and bespoke details. These living cells were combined with discrete modularity and fabrication in mind to create grouped architectural units. (DesignMorphine Team)

07. Procedural Assemblies v1.0 > Rhinoceros 6.0, Grasshopper Workshop / Design Morphine Tutor: Alejandra Rojas Student: Pedro Venegas RodrĂguez
Procedural Assemblies V1.0 explored the opportunities provided by aggregation and growth algorithms with Grasshopper plug-ins in an effort to investigate how multiple living cells can create clusters based on bottom up deployment strategies. We focused on iterative processes which allow the creation of custom workflows to simulate, quantify and visualize the living cells acting together as a system. The primary tool used in this webinar was the Wasp plugin for Grasshopper which lets you design generatively via discrete elements that aggregate together based on spatial fields and stochastic sets of part to part connection graph instructions. We designed multiple low poly aggregation units which will represent the bounds of more detailed units. The low poly aggregation units were assigned sets of connection rules and run through Wasps solver to generate multi orientable aggregated unit clusters. Multiple iterations of result clusters were generated and evaluated by running Wasp with various fluctuating parameters. Detailed living cell units then were transferred to their corresponding low poly aggregation units in the clusters to result in refined architectural systems. (DesignMorphine Team)

Meta-Personal Spaces Our Fabrication Laboratory focuses in computational design and digital fabrication’s tools nature as our brain extension, in the constant interaction between digital and analog, in the recurring idea of materials as a result of a deeper unknown interaction, physical or abstract, in the pursuit of the harmony between natural and synthetic. In an nutshell, “learning to see because everything connects to everything else” On this semester, our global theme “Meta-personal spaces” was divided into two separated topics. The first part “Metaespacio”, consisted in a personal analysis through introspection, the idea behind this topic was to recreate mental spaces of each student and translate it in isometric drawings, due to global situation, this semeter centered on digital works. The second part of the semester “Discretes”, centered on designing dicrete modules to build any kind of spaces in any scale, a building, a pavilion, a system, whatever each team decided to work with. In the search for material and structural optimization in a very simple system but resilient. With these ideas on mind, each team worked through design of units, links, patterns and comunnities.

Hyper-Contextualized Aggregates Our Fabrication Laboratory focuses in computational design and digital fabrication’s tools nature as our brain extension, in the constant interaction between digital and analog, in the recurring idea of materials as a result of a deeper unknown interaction, physical or abstract, in the pursuit of the harmony between natural and synthetic. In an nutshell, “learning to see because everything connects to everything else” On this semester, our global theme “Post-traumatic Building-Block Systems” focused on experimental building systems based in aggregation systems over post-traumatic global scenarios. By reimagined different contexts, each team designed resilient emergency systems to build different types of architectures, not focusing in the building itself but in the potenciality of the system through time and space. On the projects shown here are not only based on contexts but material caractheristic and properties. Attributes that can change radically through scale, chemical structures, interaction with other materials or even interaction with external estimulus. We try to see our building systems as unities that can be use to build not only building but living cells. By knowing all these parameters, finally we proceeded to create building rules, to go from units to cluster. Using computational design software, Grasshopper, Wasp and Fox, we experimented how all the systems could grow through time, space and context, and different generations: One problem, multiples solutions. Finally, Why do we care about it? As architects we realize now a problem doesn’t have only one solution but hundreads, thousands, maybe more. That we can have control of each solution at once or all at the same time.
