Revisiting a Cultural Community Space Through Artificial Intelligence

Introduction

This project revisits the original WAU KAPAL COMMUNITY CENTER, designed during Studio 2A (ARCH2130) in the Oct/Nov 2025 semester. The original proposal aimed to revive the traditional Wau Kapal game and strengthen community interaction through architecture inspired by the flowing movement of the kite and the spatial philosophy of Sou Fujimoto’s House Before House. The redesign explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Bing Image Creator can enhance architectural thinking, sustainability, accessibility, and user experience while preserving the cultural identity of the original concept.
