Scaffold Journal Publishes LAMAS Research on “Delirious Façade,” Hybrid Facades, and AI Image-Making
LAMAS’ research project Delirious Façade is published in Scaffold Journal (pp. 374–381) as part of its peer-reviewed platform for experimental design research. The article situates the project within contemporary architectural discourse on digital representation, computational processes, and image-based design experimentation. The publication is part of a broader issue examining how drawing, modeling, and emerging technologies are reshaping architectural production.
Scaffold Journal frames its contributors as working across disciplines and methodologies, with a focus on alternative design research practices that challenge conventional workflows. Within this context, Delirious Façade is presented alongside other studies exploring digital tools, speculative methods, and hybrid approaches to architectural representation and form-making.
The project investigates Toronto’s building façades as source material for generating hybrid architectural surfaces using image-processing and AI-based techniques. By layering and recombining façade characteristics through computational processes, the work examines how architectural identity can be produced through visual data, perception, and algorithmic transformation, positioning the façade as a site of both representation and invention.
