A turn-based assembly process\r\nenables a human designer and a robotic arm to alternately place modular bricks\r\nwithin a shared three-dimensional environment. Each move is evaluated through\r\ncomputational rules—support, stability, and collision—and interpreted in real\r\ntime via an AI image-to-image diffusion model. This sequential exchange\r\nestablishes a reciprocal design dialogue: the human reads the robot’s action as\r\na spatial proposition, while the robot responds to the evolving structure.\r\nCreative agency becomes distributed across human and machine, encouraging\r\nreflection on intent and positioning robotic intelligence as a source of suggestion\r\nrather than execution. By prioritizing responsiveness and interpretation over\r\nefficiency, the research challenges conventional file-to-factory paradigms and\r\nframes robotics as an active participant in design thinking. It contributes to\r\ndiscussions on human–machine collaboration by proposing co-creative robotics\r\nas a framework for rethinking authorship in architecture.\r\nKeywords.

We introduce Generative Twins (GT), a workflow that shifts digital twin creation from explicit geometric reconstruction toward probabilistic 3D synthesis. The pipeline takes a\r\nsingle street-level façade photograph, corrects perspective distortion and removes occlusions, uses an instruction-conditioned multimodal image model to synthesise an isometric view of the building, and passes that view to an image-to-3D reconstruction model that leverages learned shape priors to produce a textured mesh without manual modelling. Three image to-3D platforms (Hitem3D, Hyper3D and Hunyuan3D 3.1) are compared on identical isometric inputs and assessed on architectural boundary clarity. We demonstrate GT through two applied cases: (i) reconstruction of ordinary residential streets in Detmold as stimuli for a virtual-reality study of multi sensory urban perception, and (ii) Green Editor, a design-exploration tool in which façade greenery is added or removed at the image layer before mesh generation.\r\nTogether these cases position Generative Twins as a scalable pathway for the digitization of ordinary building stock, with emphasis on controllability, editability, and iterative design workflows.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.52842/conf.ecaade.2026.1.619","title":"Towards Generative Twins: An AI Based Pipeline from Explicit 3D Reconstruction to Probabilistic Synthesis"}]
