After Architecture

Design collaboration with artificial intelligence and community intelligence, 2021

This body of work explores questions of design authorship and collaboration in an era of artificial general intelligence. The work has produced multiple projects, including Collective Design Collective Living and After Architecture: Body as Building, which uses art practice as a mode of cultural inquiry. The design research asks: What is the potential relevance of emerging forms of machine learning to a participatory design process between human <> human as well as human <> non-human collaborators? How might the role of the architect change as a result?

The work has been show at the MAXXI Museum of 21st Century Art and Architecture in Rome, has won the Re:Humanism Award for its promising investigation of the relationship between humanistic and scientific culture with a main focus on the research of artificial intelligence, and has generated several publications on both the technical and theoretical aspects of the work. Learn more about the approach through a talk at the PRIMER 21 Global Conference.
