Call for research experts and young talents in Artificial Intelligence - Architects for innovation research

30.01.2023

Based on complex computer programmes capable of simulating human intelligence traits, such as reasoning and learning, in the coming years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to become a game-changer in many economic sectors, including the construction and building sectors. In the field of architecture - a discipline at the crossroads of the arts, technology, economics and social issues, Artificial Intelligence holds as much promise as it does fear. For some, it will offer architects the means to explore new aesthetic frontiers, to work on architectural forms that were previously impossible to achieve, to push further simulations and combinations of scenarios. For others, it entails/ bears/ heralds a risk that the profession may disappear or be downgraded by machines capable of producing plans autonomously. 

To demonstrate and promote the new trends on architects’ attitude, ACE is organising an open call for everybody engaged in order to select best proposals for research. Besides, the ACE will also publish a shortlist of the 20 best submissions that will offer an overlook on current AI architecture scene. The intention is to provide a deep look at current practice involving digital technology from various angles and open the discussion on the next developments, threads and opportunities. Outcomes from programme shall serve as a material for deeper study and tool for communication with legislators and other engaged stakeholders.
