AI ASSEMBLIES
Interface Architecture: Backyard Home Data Explorer

Los Angeles, California
Type: Backyard ADU
Instructor: Casey Rehm
Partner: Kevin Foley, Caleb Roberts

This project looks at how machine learning and Neural Network (NN) platforms might be leveraged to address critical issues within the built environment, with specific interest in the future of equitable housing. Sites in Los Angeles that are suitable for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), will be hosts to automate the design of prefabricated flat-pack housing. This project analyzes the scale and feasibility of introducing ADUs in residential neighborhoods of Los Angeles, which demonstrates how to optimize existing land use and thus eventually increase the supply of compact and affordable housing; the ADU scheme additionally will develop and make publicly available an interactive app that allows the user to simulate variable impacts.
