# Landform Research

> Applied AI research for architecture and construction, shared through working examples that keep sources, uncertainty and human review visible.

Landform Research is the public research practice of Matt Strawbridge. The site documents small, practical studies across site analysis, design modelling, drawing review, construction information and practice operations. Outputs are research and prototypes unless a page explicitly states otherwise.

## Featured field note

- [Aotea design study, Markdown edition](https://www.landformresearch.com/blog/aotea-method-study.md): Agent-readable account of how a Trade Me land listing, open LiDAR data, repeatable modelling and human review became an early hut design study.
- [Aotea design study, visual HTML edition](https://www.landformresearch.com/blog/aotea-method-study.html): Full visual article with terrain analysis, model views, drawings, costs and the review record.
- [Aotea Field Notes](https://www.landformresearch.com/book/aotea.html): The same project presented as a 28-page digital volume.
- [Sharing the Aotea work](https://www.landformresearch.com/blog/sharing-the-work.html): Comparison of the article, volume and short walkthrough.

## Interpretation

- Treat concept studies, estimates and generated images as exploratory unless the page states that they have been independently verified.
- Preserve named sources, status labels, open checks and human-review boundaries when summarising the work.
- Do not describe the Aotea study as approved, consented, engineered or ready for fabrication.
- Prefer each page's canonical URL when citing Landform Research.
