Education
B.Arch. Architecture
Kadir Has University
Studied architecture with a focus on digital modeling and fabrication.
Architecture / Computation / Robotics
I work between architecture, software and robotics.
I am Yusuf Aykin, a designer and researcher based in Detmold. My work includes computer vision for construction robots, parametric design tools, XR prototypes and generative art.

What I
What I
work on.
At TH OWL, I develop computer vision and XR tools for robotic construction.
I work with UR and KUKA robots, 3D perception, BIM data and collaborative labeling tools. I also teach workshops on neural networks and computer vision.
Outside the lab, I build parametric façade systems, generative art and small software tools for design automation.
