AI CONFERENCE – Vol.2

Architecture Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes creative disciplines, architectural education is undergoing a profound transformation. This one-day conference brings together internationally active educators, practitioners, and young researchers to reflect on how AI is already influencing the way architecture is taught, learned, and conceived.
Rather than presenting AI as a replacement for architectural thinking, the conference explores it as a critical tool for reflection, experimentation, and extension of established design knowledge. Speakers will discuss their experiences working with AI in teaching and research, address opportunities and limitations, and share visions of how AI may change design processes, studio culture, authorship, and the role of the architect in the future.
Alongside the lectures, a small accompanying exhibition presents a student experiment in which analogue assembly drawings of a pavilion were translated through AI using a shared prompt. The exercise—guided by the principle “the detail gives the whole concept”—offers a focused insight into how AI can act as a mediator between drawing, detail, and architectural imagination.
Together, the conference and exhibition open a space for critical dialogue on how architectural education can remain intellectually rigorous, creative, and responsible while embracing the possibilities of artificial intelligence.
Looking forward to seeing you drop by.
Thank you TA’s Mariam Islam and Youssra Ahmad for the excellent organizational support and the design of the flyer.
