Dear Colleagues and friends,
Join us for a design seminar tomorrow at the Bartlett School of Architecture.
Seminal voices increasingly question what constitutes a city—suggesting a shift from the hierarchical organization of density as an instrument to analyze the recent reorganization of the built environment. Contemporary urban challenges are related to new localities, often distant territories, interconnected, in an overall tendency of planetary dispersal. Under this condition, how can memories, histories and critical heritage play a role in the creative process?
Computers, AI, and machine learning are becoming so sophisticated that it is developing their kind of intuition. We are beginning to see many examples of art, poetry, and literature created by machines. This seminar will discuss the self-referential patterns in history and the influence our historical references and heritage have on the creative process. It will question how the future of technology and the arts help designers explore areas in the creative world that we do not realize are out there.
