Industrial Revolution Stages

Over the past few years, I've been working where digital manufacturing meets architectural design. My path has taken me through projects with robotic arms, CNC machining, 3D printing, factory automation, and parametric design. These experiences gave me a perspective that feels unique: I understand the needs of designers, I see the challenges on the factory floor, and I imagine how technology might change what connects the two.

AI has recently added another layer to this. It's not just a new tool - it feels more like a shift in what's possible. I often ask myself: if AI could handle the repetitive, mechanical parts of our workflows, how much more space would it create for creativity and decision-making?

This blog is where I'll keep track of my experiments and reflections:

  • Examples of automation I've observed in industry
  • AI workflows I'm trying out
  • Cultural differences I've noticed while working in the U.S.

These won't be final answers - more like snapshots of an open process. Writing here is simply part of how I think.

If you come from an architecture background and are curious about venturing into other fields, maybe you'll find something useful here. Even small sparks can open up new possibilities.

過去幾年,我一直待在美國數位製造與建築設計的交會點。一路上接觸過機械手臂、CNC 加工、3D 列印,到工廠自動化、參數化設計。這些經驗慢慢累積成一種特殊的視角:我既能理解設計端的需求,也能感受到製造現場的現實挑戰,更能想像科技在兩者之間可能帶來的轉變。

近年來,AI 的浪潮加速推進。它不只是新的工具,而更像是一個「打開新可能性」的契機。我開始思考:如果 AI 能夠減去那些重複、機械化的環節,會不會讓設計與製造的專業人員,把時間真正放在更有價值的創意和決策上?

這裡,會是我整理與實驗的空間。我想記錄:

  • 我在產業現場觀察到的自動化實例
  • 我正在測試的 AI 流程與應用
  • 在美國產業文化裡遇到的差異與反思

這些內容不會是結論,而更像是一個開放的過程。對我來說,寫下來的同時也是思考的一部分。

如果你是從建築設計出發,卻對跨領域感到好奇,希望看見不一樣的路徑,那麼或許你能在這裡找到一些啟發。也許只是很小的靈感,但希望能讓你看見更多可能性。
