Distributed Autonomous Systems: The Site That Keeps Building After You Lose a Machine
How swarms build without a centre: consensus math, degrade-don't-die, and the Swiss procurement clause to read before you buy autonomous site machinery.
Generative architecture: you stop drawing the building and start authoring the machine that finds it
Generative architecture flips design: you write the constraints and let the solver find the form. From Stiny's shape grammars to ETH's Shea — a PAZ foundation.
StructureGS: when a Gaussian splat learns where the hinge is
StructureGS adds oriented bounding boxes to 3D Gaussian Splatting so scanned parts stay separable — why AEC teams should demand articulated deliverables.
Compression Is Learning: An Afternoon With scikit-learn on Your Own Machine
A hands-on scikit-learn tutorial: compress a facade photo with k-means, see why prediction equals compression, and keep every pixel inside Swiss jurisdiction.
Review of the Week — W33: The week Swiss AEC stopped waiting for the software to ship
Week 33 recap: Swiss engineers build tools vendors never shipped, Terafab's 1 TW ceiling, Graphisoft's collaboration layer, Betuwe InSAR data, and Rotterdam's green facade debate.
Thrust Network Analysis: The 350-Year-Old Theorem That Certifies Vaults and Grows New Shells
How Thrust Network Analysis turns Hooke's 1676 hanging chain into a lower-bound proof that certifies Gothic vaults and form-finds new compression shells.
SONG rehearses the crowd before the robot walks your lobby
SONG's 3D Gaussian splatting simulator trains social-navigation robots on photoreal crowds — and turns every public splat-twin into a Swiss data-residency question.
Reading the Platform: Why an SBB Node Is Switzerland's Highest-Value Urban Problem
An SBB node is never a station — it's this platform, this 800m walkshed. Read transit-oriented density from the timetable and rank your parcels first.
Own Your AI: Run Hugging Face Models Locally Before You Rent Them
A hands-on PAZ tutorial: install Hugging Face transformers, run inference and embeddings on your own hardware, and keep your studio's tender data on-site.
Obsidian: A Local-First Second Brain You Actually Own
Obsidian rebuilds Luhmann's Zettelkasten as plain Markdown files you own. A hands-on PAZ tutorial: clone, link, git-version your studio's knowledge graph.
