This research explores the intersection of Extended Reality (XR) and architectural fabrication, specifically through the innovative application of XR technology in the construction of a pavilion using natural materials, namely twigs. Recognizing the limitations of traditional architectural tools in facilitating intuitive interaction and natural engagement, this project leverages XR as a powerful medium to enhance the fabrication process. The workflow devised for this study was systematically divided into two core phases: initial data collection and subsequent form generation. By integrating immersive digital environments with hands-on fabrication techniques, the research aims to demonstrate how XR can significantly augment creative exploration and practical execution in architectural design and construction.
The datasets were acquired through photographs of real branches, including reference dimensions to accurately capture scale. These images were then processed using a Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) to generate precise vector armatures of the branches.
