Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence (AI) is rapidly trans­forming our world and has the poten­tial to revo­lu­tio­nize how we plan, design, and manage our cities, making them more sustainable, effi­cient, and respon­sive to the needs of their resi­dents. This work­shop will explore how AI can be lever­aged to enhance orga­niza­tion and design processes in urban design disci­plines, such as archi­tec­ture, land­scape archi­tec­ture and urban and regional planning. 

In this two-day work­shop, parti­ci­pants will learn about the current state of AI and its poten­tial uses in the context urban design. We will explore a variety of popular and alter­na­tive AI tools that are resha­ping design work­flows. By the end of the work­shop, parti­ci­pants will have a deeper under­stan­ding of the poten­tial of AI in urban design and be equipped with the skills and know­ledge to apply AI in their own projects. This work­shop offers a chance to learn about the poten­tial of AI in the context of urban design and how it can enhance design processes.
