This thesis reclaims ornamentation as a democratized and emotionally resonant language for the digital age. It leverages AI’s capacity to generate semantically ambiguous motifs—hyper-complex geometries that challenge traditional craftsmanship and aristocratic symbolism. By combining these with advanced additive fabrication, the work proposes a new paradigm of architectural expression. The forms created through human-AI collaboration prioritize individuality and cultural diversity. They transform facades into dynamic poche of textured spatial narratives. By bridging algorithmic creativity with mass customization, this thesis redefines ornamentation as a performative and inclusive act. It represents a sensory rebellion against homogeneity that re-enchants the built environment.
