IASDR Conference Series

Co-located intergenerational active play enables meaningful interaction between generations while supporting young early childhood development and positive aging. Existing literature highlights the potential of tangible embedded and embodied interaction (TEI) in promoting active play and intergenerational interaction. Through a series of co-design workshops involving grandchild-grandparent dyads, fourteen ideas were generated and analysed using behavioural coding. Three themes were identified: ‘Ball games’, ‘Cubbyhouse’, and ‘Build and knock’. Ball games had the highest potential for equal participation, stimulating a range of Fundamental Movement Skill (FMS) and sustaining engagement. In contrast, cubbyhouse and build-and-knock activities often resulted in passive participation from grandparents. This …

Reconstruction Of Architectural Objects Through Ai-Informed Generation And Additive Manufacturing, Karin Hedlund Dec 2025

Reconstruction Of Architectural Objects Through Ai-Informed Generation And Additive Manufacturing, Karin Hedlund

IASDR Conference Series

Discards from construction and demolition account for a third of all waste in the EU. Architectural objects with visual flaws and low cultural value often become waste before reaching reuse stations. In contrast, broken heritage objects are often restored or reconstructed and, in this process, digital methods such as photogrammetry, custom generative adversarial networks (GANs) and 3D printing show promise. Hence, architectural discards are rarely reconstructed, and when they are, design potential is often overlooked. This research explores an alternative method for digitally and physically reconstructing broken architectural elements, focusing on artistic reinterpretation rather than historical accuracy. A “broken brick” …
