Professor Hyun Kyung-hoon’s research team (Design Informatics Lab) in the Department of Interior Architecture & Design at the College of Human Ecology, Hanyang University, has been officially selected as the lead research and development institution for the “DesignTech Core Technology Development Project – Designer-Centered AI Generation Pipeline Development,” supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

The project, with a total budget of KRW 11.3 billion (KRW 9.5 billion government funding), aims to secure core technologies for linking design and manufacturing based on generative AI by developing AI-based design realization technologies that reflect designers’ intentions and establishing an AI design generation pipeline aligned with actual design workflows. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the global competitiveness of Korea’s design industry.

To execute this project, Hanyang University has formed a top-tier consortium by partnering with leading domestic research institutions and industry players possessing advanced expertise in 전화인증없는 토토사이트 support technology, AI generation technology, and 3D industrial technologies.

Participating as main research institutions are Hanyang University (Hyun Kyung-hoon’s team) and Recon Labs (led by CEO Ban Sung-hoon). Additional co-research institutions include Nania Labs (CEO Kang Nam-woo), KAIST (Professor Sung Min-hyuk’s team), Korea Institute of Design Promotion (Director Cho Doo-hyun), SWNA (CEO Lee Seok-woo), and Korea National University of Arts (Professor Shim Kyu-ha’s team). Hyundai Livart, a leader in the domestic furniture design industry, and Coptik, known for its customized eyewear brand “Brism,” are also participating as demand-side companies.

Professor Hyun Kyung-hoon, the principal investigator, stated, “To strengthen design capabilities, it is crucial to deeply understand the design process,” adding, “We will lead a paradigm shift in the design industry through AI technologies that support designers’ creativity.”
