About this Event
In the near future, architects may become a thing of the past. Artificial intelligence is quickly advancing to a point where it can generate the design of a building completely autonomously. With the potential to create designs faster and with more accuracy than ever before, AI has the potential to revolutionise the architecture industry, leaving traditional architects out of the equation. This could spell the end of the profession as we know it, raising questions of what the future holds for architects in a world of AI-generated buildings.
SPEAKER
Prof Neil Leach
Neil Leach is an architect, curator and writer. He is currently Visiting Professor at Harvard University GSD, Professor at the European Graduate School, Gao Feng Professor at Tongji University, and Adjunct Professor at the University of Southern California. His research interests fall broadly into two fields, critical theory and digital design. In the field of critical theory, he has published a number of monographs and edited volumes, dealing largely with the impact of importing theoretical tools from critical theory into an architectural arena. These include Rethinking Architecture: A Reader in Cultural Theory; The Hieroglyphics of Space: Reading and Experiencing the Modern Metropolis, and The Anaesthetics of Architecture. He has also been co-curator of various exhibitions at the Architecture Biennial Beijing.
