"The Bluff of Pango and CelloPark Exposed": Our Parking Research Hits National News
Every driver in Israel knows the ritual: open the app, tap to start parking, hope you remember to stop the meter before you forget and it turns into a fine. We spent months digging into what actually happens behind that tap — and this week, that story reached far beyond academia.

We invite you to a lecture “Mixing Worlds- Mixing Realities” By Dr.-ing. Gerhard Schubert
Imagine a future where architects can design the way they are used to today but get additional expert support from computational systems. Can an integrated digital design assistant support architects while modeling and sketching - assisting them seamlessly like an expert looking over their shoulder?

A new conference paper with our partners from the Technion Arc. Eytan Mann and Prof. Aaron Sprecher.
Read MoreNew open-access research paper- Collective Intelligence in Design Crowdsourcing
This study investigates how collective intelligence emerges in crowdsourcing for architectural design. Previous studies have revealed that collective intelligence emerges from the collaboration and can outperform individual intelligence. As design is a highly collaborative practice, collective intelligence plays a vital role in the design process. In this study, we compare the structure of two architectural design crowdsourcing systems using several methods. The results of the analysis suggest that design crowdsourcing systems can give rise to the following three types of collective intelligence:
