AI and Architecture Workshop at ACADIA 2022 - only three seats left! Do you want to learn how to use Midjourney, Dall-E 2, and Stable Diffusion as design tools for architecture? Do you want to learn how to successfully turn those amazing images into 3D models? Join our workshop at the upcoming ACADIA conference and learn from AI in Architecture pioneers Dr. Matias del Campo (Taubman - UoM) and Dr. Sandra Manninger (NYIT) Get one of the last seats available for this workshop here - Workshop 5: (link in bio) More info: We are pleased to introduce the #ACADIA2022 workshop "Diffusion: Architecture, Artificial Intelligence & Synthetic Imaginations" taught by Dr. Matias del Campo and Dr. Sandra Manninger (Michigan / SCI-Arc / Weitzman, @matiasdel.campo). ‘The limits of my language are the limits of my world.’ The famous quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein has gained an entirely new meaning in the emerging context of natural language text-to-image applications driven by artificial intelligence algorithms. Applications such as Midjourney, Disco Diffusion, and Stable Diffusion are spreading like wildfire in the architecture community. Two specific results can be observed in the Cambrian explosion of a novel design tool. On the one side, the generation of thousands of astonishing images in a very short period of time; on the other, the emergence of critical interrogation of architecture theory in the face of a posthuman design method. The workshop takes on the challenge of exploring this new design method, using diffusion models as a starting point. The premise for the project is the design of a series of interconnected pixel images elaborating aspects of elevation, plan, perspective, and atmosphere of a house – components of a mood board. [...] The focus of the discursive component of the workshop is on the immense contribution of the method to the architecture discipline in terms of its transformative power in practice and theory. Students will learn how to use diffusion models, how to strategize methods to convert the resulting images into 3D models, how to perform a critical forensic examination of the results, (at University of Pennsylvania School of Design) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjwEYF9s6S4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was a pleasure to chair the session on AI and Architecture at this year's ACADIA conference. Hybrids & Haecceities is being hosted by the Stuart Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania. A picture of the lighting round of debate after the paper presentations with Woongki Sung, Tyson Hosmer, Andrew Saunders, Riley Studebaker, Claire Moriarty, Antonio Furgiuele and Mikael Johannes. The conversation and papers gravitated around the use of CNN's and GAN's as Design method in various roles, from a method to interrogate urban textures to the automated generation of floor plans, to using machine learning as basis for physical installations. My congratulations to all paper presenters for their amazing contributions to this emerging field of interrogation in the architecture discipline. Inspiring and though provoking. I wish more women would have been part of the conversation, hopefully next year. #posthuman #postdigital #architecture #architecturedesign #ontology #epistemology #aiarchitecture #AI #neural_architecture #estrangement #defamiliarization #ostranenie #newparadigm #machinelearning #diffusion_model #midjourney #midjourneyart #midjourneyarchitecture #stablediffusion #aiarchitects #sublime #conference #acadia2022 (at University of Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkTbz3juWCL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
