"If you're not using AI you're losing out" thanks but we're spending the week working with a dozen students to build an open structure on DIY sustainable principles, from reclaimed wood, so unless your AI does carpentry...
Not just snark: I've done two failed funding applications so far to actually develop http://booktwo.org/notebook/the-ai-and-the-tree/ and I genuinely think there are interesting things to do at the human level with AI. Just not in spreadsheets or art appropriation or whatever

For hand making how bout this, the only interesting application of AR I’ve ever seen https://fologram.com

Wood Chip Barn / AA Design + Make

Headquartered at the Architectural Association's Hooke Park campus, Design + Make explores fabrication and design at the intersection of craft knowledge, innovative technologies and natural materials

...and then I see that @mtchl has already pointed you towards this!
I wasn't good at Tw*tter and clearly am not so good at this either. 😁

@jamesbridle this sounds like a lovely project, and shares some themes with work an architect friend has been exploring, reckon you would both enjoy chatting: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CjU2wAqPpp6/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Have you pitched this to #HookePark (the experimental timber workshop currently owned by the #ArchitecturalAssociation)?
It's the kind of thing that should be right up their street/lane/path.
