Design x Technology Lecture: Matias del Campo

Join Lawrence Technological University’s College of Architecture and Design on Tuesday, September 12th at 12:30pm ET for our first Fall 2023/24 Lunch and Learn lecture as we present Associate Professor of Architecture, UoM and cofounding partner of SPAN, Dr. Matias del Campo.

Part of Detroit Month of Design, 2023 this lecture, Matias del Campo provides some thoughts on the ontology of Artificial intelligence and its relationship to architectural production. Oscillating between aspects of wicked problems (aesthetics, agency, authorship, inspiration, creativity) and tamed problems (analysis, optimization, prediction), this lecture paints a picture as of how architecture might operate in a posthuman design environment.

Introduction into various aspects of using AI in architecture design. A branch of the discipline that will for one provide expediency in the design process as well as provide information to improve the designs. The area of AI and Architecture is the fastest growing are of the industry, thus students need to be informed to facilitate their job hunt after graduating.

CoAD Design x Technology lectures are free and open to the public. As part of our long-running lecture series, guests may watch our presenters online or on campus. Register for the location/viewing details.
