Join us for a webinar on AI in Architecture on Thursday 4 July 2024, 12pm-2pm AEST AI is already changing the landscape of design and construction – from concept development to documentation, practice management, and fabrication – raising technological, commercial and ethical questions. What defines AI? How can it be leveraged to push the boundaries of creativity and efficiency? What are the risks, the opportunities, the impacts and incentives of generative AI? And what does this mean for creators and consumers, for the architecture profession and architecture? Through the lenses of research and practice, this webinar will give an overview of AI and its uptake in Australian creative industries, explain the structure and capability of generative AI models, and explore the possibilities of AI for creative problem solving and other aspects of architectural practice.
