AI is for Architecture

AI is reshaping architectural education and has the potential to revolutionize architectural practice, from the design of buildings to their construction. In a series of lightning talks and a roundtable discussion, architects on the faculty at Weitzman who have embraced AI in their teaching and practice offer examples of how the technology can make buildings more meaningful and sustainable. The program is preceded by a reception.
