The 3 Pillars of TNG Lab

Our proprietary vertical AI workflows are built upon deep, real-world verified practice across three symbiotic domains.

Pillar 01

Practice & Vision

Architectural Design

Certified architectural design synthesizing bioclimatic massing, tectonic precision, and passive spatial efficiency. Features iconic projects in London (UCL), Seoraksan National Park, and traditional Hanok masterplans.

Pillar 02

Climate Tech & Simulation

Energy Simulation

Engineering-grade Building Performance Simulation (BPS). Delivering 3D annual solar radiation mapping, multi-scale indoor/outdoor CFD aerodynamics, daylight (VSC/Glare) optimization, and Net-Zero (ZEB) compliance.

Pillar 03

Art & Spatial Curation

Spatial Installation Art

Renowned public installation artist Yeojoo Park (UCL Slade MFA). Exploring light refraction, radiant films, and architectural threshold arches. Featuring the seminal The Ninth Gate—the foundational origin of TNG.

Open-Source AEC & AI Roadmap

AI Product Roadmap: Open Source & Claude

Democratizing high-performance architecture by connecting open-source drafting (IngeCAD), 3D modeling (IngeTrazo), and simulation engines (EnergyPlus) via Anthropic’s open Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Phase 01 • Immediate Focus • Most Feasible

Autonomous Building Code & Zoning Audit

Automates tedious regulatory checks by ingesting Korean municipal district units, architectural acts, and fire egress standards. Claude 3.5 Sonnet's 200k context evaluates multi-page ordinances into deterministic compliance matrices.

Engine: Claude 3.5 Sonnet Complex Reasoning & Legal Parsing

Phase 02 • Active Prototyping • In R&D

Open-Source CAD & 3D via Anthropic MCP

Breaking expensive proprietary software lock-in. We are actively integrating open-source drafting (IngeCAD) and spatial sketching (IngeTrazo) using Anthropic’s native Model Context Protocol (MCP) to solve tool-use barriers faced with other LLMs.

Engine: IngeCAD / IngeTrazo Toolchain + Anthropic MCP Server

Phase 03 • Strategic Expansion • Simulation Pipeline

Open-Source Physics & EnergyPlus Engine

Once geometric CAD coupling stabilizes, geometries will pipe directly into battle-tested open-source engines: EnergyPlus for thermal/ZEB loads and Radiance for sunlight/daylighting, orchestrated autonomously by Claude.

Engine: EnergyPlus + Radiance Open-Source Physics Solvers

> Query: Korean Building Act Article 53 (Solar Exposure Setback) & Egress Corridor Width
> Document Ingested: Municipal District Planning Ordinance & A1 Floor Plan DXF
> Compliance Audit: North-side boundary setback = 1.5m required (Actual: 1.8m -> PASS)
> Egress Staircase: Direct distance to exit = 24.5m (Max allowable: 30m -> PASS)
> Verification Result: 100% compliant. Formal architectural permit checklist generated in 0.8s.
