Ingrid Mayrhofer-Hufnagl Lecture: "AI ⊂ IA: Machines and Intelligent Artifacts"
Ingrid Mayrhofer-Hufnagl, head of a multi-disciplinary practice; serves as an external expert for the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission; mentors Ph.D. students at the Technical University of Munich; editor of Architecture, Futurability, and the Untimely: On the Unpredictability of the Past.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore the Role of Datasets in Shaping AI-Driven Design: Participants will gain insight into how datasets influence the biases, capabilities, and creative potential of AI, and their implications for architectural practice.
- Reflect on the Synergy of Human, Non-Human, and Machinic Intelligences: Participants will examine how the interplay between human, non-human, and AI-driven intelligences can inspire innovative approaches to coexistence and collaborative design.
- Understand AI as a Catalyst for More-Than-Human Perspectives: Participants will learn how machinic perception can illuminate unseen patterns and connections, fostering a deeper understanding of non-human intelligences and their role in shaping the built environment.
- Examine AI’s Potential in Expanding Design Narratives: Participants will explore how AI can help challenge traditional design paradigms by incorporating diverse intelligences, enabling more inclusive and adaptive architectural narratives that integrate human, non-human, and machinic perspectives.
