Our third General Meeting will conclude this year’s theme of ‘Making & Meaning in the Age of AI.’ The goal of the meeting is to demonstrate a feedback-driven, iterative approach to developing AI-enabled tools and workflows, rooted in the specific needs of the architectural profession. We will explore the current landscape of AI-augmented architectural tools, highlight case studies of successful workflows, and offer practical insights for integrating these technologies into various aspects of the discipline. Attendees will gain hands-on techniques for leveraging AI in daily architectural practice, from data management to image generation.
Key Topics:
· Current landscape of goal oriented architectural tools augmented with AI
· Successful implementation of AI-enabled workflows that can be used right now
· Integration of tools for feedback driven design
· Highly impactful hands-on techniques for use in daily architectural practice
