=='''Prototyping'''==
The prototyping phase tested how the project’s adaptive logic could move from computational design into material and environmental implementation. Rather than functioning as a final product, the prototype operated as a proof of concept through which geometric refinement, lighting translation, electronics, and user interaction could be evaluated as parts of a single responsive system.

'''Fabrication and assembly'''

[[File:This.gif |thumb | center |800px | Printing process]]

The physical prototype was developed as a material translation of the project’s broader interior strategy. During this phase, the design was refined to meet fabrication constraints, including segmentation, print orientation, tolerances, and assembly sequence. These adjustments were not treated as secondary technical compromises, but as part of the design process itself, allowing the geometric logic of the proposal to remain legible while becoming buildable. The prototype preserved the relationship between an ordered structural frame and a more differentiated internal geometry, showing how the Voronoi-based system could be fabricated as a series of components and reassembled into a coherent spatial fragment. In this sense, fabrication became a way of testing not only form, but also the feasibility of the project’s multi-scalar design logic.

'''Electronics and lighting setup'''

[[File:WhatsApp Image 2026-04-16 at 17.43.55.jpg|thumb|center|800px | Electrical components assembly]]

To extend the prototype beyond static representation, the model was equipped with an embedded lighting system consisting of an ESP32 microcontroller, addressable LED strips, and an external power supply. This setup allowed the prototype to function as a responsive environmental device rather than as a purely visual object. Light was treated as an architectural layer integrated into the panel's geometry, capable of supporting spatial atmosphere, temporal variation, and behavioural response. The electronic assembly, therefore, played a central role in the project: it connected the spatial concept to a tangible output and enabled testing of how adaptive lighting could operate within a confined habitat.

'''Data-to-light workflow'''

|}

A central challenge of the prototyping phase was translating the predictive lighting model into values that could be implemented both digitally and physically. The AI workflow generated correlated colour temperature (CCT) and illuminance values that were meaningful from circadian and environmental perspectives, but could not be sent directly to the LED system. These outputs first had to be converted into RGB colour values and brightness levels. The resulting data were then refined to ensure stability and compatibility with the rendering environment and the physical hardware. In the digital model, values were cleaned, bounded, and remapped to produce a controlled luminous gradient. In the physical model, RGB values were additionally scaled by brightness to keep colour and intensity coupled. This workflow established a continuous chain from environmental input to luminous output, allowing the prototype to test not just light effects, but the operational logic of an adaptive architectural environment.

'''Interface and demonstration'''

[[File:DemonstrationHD.gif|thumb|center|800px | Interface and LED responce]]

The final step of the workflow connected the prototype to a browser-based interface, transforming it from a scripted simulation into an interactive system. Through the interface, the user could select different presets, activities, and behavioural scenarios in order to test how the lighting environment would respond. The logic of the interface was not based on arbitrary colour selection, but on the interpretation of bodily state and intended use. Presets such as calm, focus, stress, and overload were combined with activities including sleep, eat, leisure, and work, while two response modes, mirror and compensate, defined whether the environment should reflect or counterbalance the detected condition. In this way, the interface served as the user-facing layer of the adaptive system, demonstrating how lighting could serve as a responsive mediator among physiological state, routine, and spatial atmosphere.

=='''Design'''==
The design phase developed the project’s central architectural hypothesis: that habitability in mission-driven confinement depends not only on technical shelter, but on the capacity of the interior to support changing routines, controlled withdrawal, and environmental responsiveness over time. Within this framework, space, geometry, and light were treated as interconnected components of a single adaptive system.

'''Spatial premise'''

[[File:Cover_project_B_smalleer.png |thumb | center |800px | TROLL Station and the project]]

The project addresses habitability in mission-driven confinement by rethinking the Antarctic container not as a neutral technical shell, but as an adaptive interior capable of supporting occupation under extreme seasonal stress. At Troll Station, the container already defines the site's constructive and logistical logic, so the proposal does not reject this condition from the outside. Instead, it works from within, asking how a highly constrained volume might be transformed into an inhabitable environment during periods of prolonged darkness, limited mobility, and heightened dependence on the interior. The design, therefore, begins with a specific architectural problem: how to provide spatial and environmental support within an already fixed infrastructural framework.

'''Design drivers'''

[[File:Routines.png|thumb|center|800px | Day-shift and night-shift: lighting needs and routines.]]

The proposal was structured around three key spatial needs: agency, privacy, and sleep. These were identified as the minimum conditions required for a compact shared habitat to remain inhabitable during confinement. Agency refers to occupants' ability to adjust, appropriate, or reinterpret the environment in response to changing routines and mental states. Privacy concerns the ability to establish temporary separation and retreat despite continuous co-presence. Sleep was understood not only as a biological necessity, but as a spatial and environmental condition shaped by light, rhythm, and recovery. These design drivers were reinforced by the station’s alternating day-shift and night-shift routines, which required the interior to accommodate overlapping temporalities rather than a single fixed schedule. In this sense, the project was conceived not as a static layout, but as a support system for variable patterns of inhabitation.

'''Reconfigurable uses'''

{| style="width:100%;"
| style="width:50%; vertical-align:top;" |
[[File:Agencyprivacysleep.gif|thumb|center|260px|Agency, privacy, sleep]]
| style="width:50%; vertical-align:top;" |
[[File:Config.png|thumb|center|530px|Adaptive occupation]]
|}

Reconfigurability was used to generate different modes of occupation within the same spatial envelope, allowing the habitat to adapt to changing needs rather than assigning each activity to a rigid room. The system supports rest, focused work, retreat, and informal interaction, while also allowing the same interior to shift according to bodily state, social proximity, and time of day. This approach was especially important under confinement, where the challenge is not simply to fit multiple functions into a small space, but to make cohabitation psychologically sustainable over time. The adaptive furniture and interior surfaces were therefore designed to mediate between co-presence and withdrawal, creating differentiated conditions within a limited volume and enabling the users to move between shared and more secluded modes of occupation.

'''From geometry to environmental surface'''

{| style="width:100%;"
| style="width:50%; vertical-align:top;" |
[[File:A.png|thumb|center|550px|Selecting surfaces]]
| style="width:50%; vertical-align:top;" |
[[File:C.png|thumb|center|230px|Structural gradient]]
|}

The geometric development of the project is based on the coexistence of two distinct but complementary systems: an orthogonal envelope and a Voronoi-based infill. The orthogonal system preserves the container's constructive clarity, maintaining its dimensional and infrastructural logic. Within this stable frame, the Voronoi geometry acts as an internal layer of modulation, producing inhabitable variation, differentiated surfaces, and local environmental effects. The design was progressively refined through multiple scales, moving from the overall spatial envelope to selected surfaces and finally to differentiated panels capable of integrating structural, acoustic, and luminous functions. This process was not driven by form-making alone. Rather, geometry became the medium through which the project aligned spatial intent, performative behaviour, and fabrication logic, demonstrating how an adaptive interior can be developed from the relation between stable enclosure and responsive inner articulation.

'''Light as spatial layer'''

[[File:Light.png|thumb|800px| center| Light zoning]]

Lighting was treated as an architectural layer embedded within the furniture and surface system rather than as a secondary technical addition. Its role was not merely to illuminate the interior, but to structure routines, differentiate zones, and respond to the absence and instability of natural light during the polar night. In this sense, light became a primary environmental tool through which the project could support focus, rest, retreat, and psychological endurance. The proposal developed a predictive lighting workflow that links circadian requirements, environmental conditions, and selected physiological inputs to changes in illuminance and correlated colour temperature. As a result, the luminous environment was conceived not as a collection of fixed scenes, but as a responsive spatial atmosphere able to adapt to use, bodily state, and time-based patterns of occupation. Light therefore operates here as both an environmental support system and a spatial device, reinforcing the project’s broader ambition to produce an interior that remains inhabitable under prolonged confinement.

[[File:ETA_TD.jpg | 850px]]<br><br>

The inter-faculty graduation Extra-/ Terrestrial Architecture: Translational Design (E/TA: TD), explores architecture as an act of translating ideas into spatial forms, data into designs, socio-cultural values into buildings, digital models into physical structures, and robotic processes into built environments. It relies on converting ideas, knowledge, and data from various domains into architectural forms, systems, and construction processes across scales, mediums, and contexts. Furthermore, it fosters collaboration among students and tutors from all TU Delft faculties. It is open to graduating students interested in addressing translational challenges, with Architecture students specifically focusing on developing a multi-functional structure on Earth, Moon, or Mars using AI and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) supported Design-to-Robotic-Production-Assembly and -Operation (D2RPA&O) methods., These methods involve computational design (that is integrating generative form finding with various optimization routines) and robotic construction and operation, while heavily relying on In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), circular approaches, and AI-supported technologies. The ultimate goal is to develop an autarkic AI and R/ HRI-supported D2RPA&O system employing ISRU for building multi-functional structures and to transfer developed knowledge from extra- to terrestrial applications and vice-versa.

[[File:ETA_TD.jpg | 850px]]<br><br>

The inter-faculty graduation Extra-/ Terrestrial Architecture: Translational Design (E/TA: TD), explores architecture as an act of translating ideas into spatial forms, data into designs, socio-cultural values into buildings, digital models into physical structures, and robotic processes into built environments. It relies on converting ideas, knowledge, and data from various domains into architectural forms, systems, and construction processes across scales, mediums, and contexts. Furthermore, it fosters collaboration among students and tutors from all TU Delft faculties. It is open to graduating students interested in addressing translational challenges, with Architecture students specifically focusing on developing a multi-functional structure on Earth, Moon, or Mars using AI and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) supported Design-to-Robotic-Production-Assembly and -Operation (D2RPA&O) methods., These methods involve computational design (that is integrating generative form finding with various optimization routines) and robotic construction and operation, while heavily relying on In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), circular approaches, and AI-supported technologies.

=='''Workshop MSc 2 (2026): Interactive Furniture for Arctic Environments'''==
<br>
[[File:WS12026MSc2banner.jpg|850px]]

<br>
Excerpt from the brief ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lwgkOkwLq_MkuHcLVb7TmrxsUspAnb1R3pm0jOyIj8c/edit):
<br>
The Interactive Architecture Prototypes (IAP) workshop focuses on skill building in Artificial Intelligence (AI) supported Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation (D2RP&O) methods for the development of architectural hybrid assemblies ranging from micro levels, as material systems, to meso and macro levels as building components and buildings. In this context, hybrid assemblies will be explored by designing and robotically producing and/ or operating a structure that consists of various components assembled into an integrated larger whole.

<br>
----

=='''FRAMEWORK'''==
The focus is on an extreme environment, Antarctica, where conditions include extremely cold, dry, and windy polar desert characterized by severe temperatures (ranging from -80 to -20), strong katabatic winds, minimal precipitation, and very low humidity; extreme light cycles with months of continuous daylight or darkness, high UV exposure, reduced oxygen levels. In this context the Norwegian research station in Antarctica, Troll, consisting of containers, is struggling with the limited space that confines activities and limits various and changing needs of inhabitants with respect to work, rest, and leisure. Furthermore, health is highly sensitive to lighting conditions because of their impact on the circadian rhythms, sleep, hormone cycles, visual performance, mood, and spatial orientation. Inadequate or poorly tuned lighting may impair alertness, mental health, immunity, and safety - making advanced, tunable, spectrum-controlled lighting systems essential.
<br>
<br>
----

=='''APPROACH'''==

In order to address these challenges, the design focuses on developing reconfigurable, interactive furniture with integrated AI-supported embedded lighting for the Troll station, which is basically a collection of containers connected to each other. The task will focus on 1-3 containers and their potential for spatial and environmental reconfiguration using a Voronoi-based approach and AI-assisted illumination method. Both, will be supported by hands-on tutorials and knowledge transfer from extraterrestrial to terrestrial environments and vice versa.
<br>
<br>
[[File:TrollStation.jpg|850px]]
<br>
<br>
The tutorials focus on applications of D2RP&O methods:
<br>
1. Voronoi-based D2RP
<br>
The container is fitted with reconfigurable Voronoi-based componets that serve various 24/7 changing uses ranging from work to relation and leisure. Considering that 2-6 users are inhabiting 1-3 containers of 6/2.5/2.5m each the challenge is to design a Voronoi-based reconfigurable furniture that has integrated LED lighting. Reconfiguration relies mainly on folding, with facets of the Voronoi-cells creating variable seating, sleeping, working areas. The facets have integrated wiring and LEDs and are robotically 3D printed using D2RP methods and recycled plastic.
<br>
<br>
2. AI-supported D2RO
<br>
To simulate less extreme lighting conditions indoors, the weather map data from Delft, Netherlands is integrated with a synthetic dataset that links ambient illuminance and basic color temperature, i.e. correlated colour temperature (CCT) to several physiological responses. Key assumptions are that higher illuminance creates increased heart rate, decreased HRV, smaller pupil, lower blink rate, higher skin conductance and respiration, while cooler light induces minor HR increase, HRV decrease, while diurnal baseline rhythms create slight circadian HR variation.
<br>
<br>
Prior to the tutorial students are asked to have installed Python, Jupyter notebooks, and some common libraries including Scikit Learn: https://digipedia.tudelft.nl/tutorial/jupyter-notebook-installation-and-overview/?tab=chapter-0
<br>
<br>
The tutorial has limited discussion of the theory, hence, it is recommend to review content from the Computational Intelligence for Integrated Design site:
Probability and Statistics: https://digipedia.tudelft.nl/course/computational-intelligence-for-integrated-design/?tab=chapter-1
Supervised Learning, and Neural Networks: https://digipedia.tudelft.nl/course/computational-intelligence-for-integrated-design/?tab=chapter-4
<br>
Additional reading: Machine Learning: An introduction by Kevin P. Murphy
<br>
<br>

=='''DELIVERABLES'''==
The application of the AI-supported D2RP&O process is demonstrated with respect to:
<br>
1. Additive D2RP: The development of a reconfigurable, structurally and functionally optimized 3D printable structure;
<br>
2. AI-supported D2RO: The development and integration of interactive/responsive lighting to accommodate individual needs.
<br>
Students work in groups of ±5 members with members taking specific roles focusing on either D2RP, D2RO and/ or their integration. The computational design is informed by programatic, structural, operational, and materialization requirements.

Furthermore, health is highly sensitive to lighting conditions because of their impact on the circadian rhythms, sleep, hormone cycles, visual performance, mood, and spatial orientation. Inadequate or poorly tuned lighting may impair alertness, mental health, immunity, and safety - making advanced, tunable, spectrum-controlled lighting systems essential.

=='''APPROACH'''==

In order to address these challenges, the design focuses on developing reconfigurable, interactive furniture with integrated AI-supported embedded lighting for the Troll station, which is basically a collection of containers connected to each other. The task will focus on 1-3 containers and their potential for spatial and environmental reconfiguration using a Voronoi-based approach and AI-assisted illumination method. Both, will be supported by hands-on tutorials and knowledge transfer from extraterrestrial to terrestrial environments and vice versa.

<br>
The tutorials focus on applications of D2RP&O methods:
<br>
1. Voronoi-based D2RP
<br>
The container is fitted with reconfigurable Voronoi-based componets that serve various 24/7 changing uses ranging from work to relation and leisure. Considering that 2-6 users are inhabiting 1-3 containers of 6/2.5/2.5m each the challenge is to design a Voronoi-based reconfigurable furniture that has integrated LED lighting. Reconfiguration relies mainly on folding, with facets of the Voronoi-cells creating variable seating, sleeping, working areas. The facets have integrated wiring and LEDs and are robotically 3D printed using D2RP methods and recycled plastic.
<br>
<br>
2. AI-supported D2RO
<br>
To simulate less extreme lighting conditions indoors, the weather map data from Delft, Netherlands is integrated with a synthetic dataset that links ambient illuminance and basic color temperature, i.e. correlated colour temperature (CCT) to several physiological responses. Key assumptions are that higher illuminance creates increased heart rate, decreased HRV, smaller pupil, lower blink rate, higher skin conductance and respiration, while cooler light induces minor HR increase, HRV decrease, while diurnal baseline rhythms create slight circadian HR variation.
<br>
<br>
Prior to the tutorial students are asked to have installed Python, Jupyter notebooks, and some common libraries including Scikit Learn: https://digipedia.tudelft.nl/tutorial/jupyter-notebook-installation-and-overview/?tab=chapter-0
<br>
<br>
The tutorial has limited discussion of the theory, hence, it is recommend to review content from the Computational Intelligence for Integrated Design site:

=='''DELIVERABLES'''==
The application of the AI-supported D2RP&O process is demonstrated with respect to:
<br>
1. Additive D2RP: The development of a reconfigurable, structurally and functionally optimized 3D printable structure;
<br>
2. AI-supported D2RO: The development and integration of interactive/responsive lighting to accommodate individual needs.
<br>
Students work in groups of ±5 members with members taking specific roles focusing on either D2RP, D2RO and/ or their integration. The computational design is informed by programatic, structural, operational, and materialization requirements.

Excerpt from the brief ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lwgkOkwLq_MkuHcLVb7TmrxsUspAnb1R3pm0jOyIj8c/edit):
<br>
The Interactive Architecture Prototypes (IAP) workshop focuses on skill building in Artificial Intelligence (AI) supported Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation (D2RP&O) methods for the development of architectural hybrid assemblies ranging from micro levels, as material systems, to meso and macro levels as building components and buildings. In this context, hybrid assemblies will be explored by designing and robotically producing and/ or operating a structure that consists of various components assembled into an integrated larger whole.
