PLAYING MODELS 2023: Artificial Intelligence, Architecture and Storytelling

Event Date: Nov 2, 2023 - Nov 3, 2023; Event City: PLAYING MODELS aims to address the fundamental conceptual and technological shifts that AI and computational storytelling instruments have introduced to design and engineering disciplines and how they are transforming millennia-old traditions of architecture and design thinking. This conference is at the vanguard of artificial intelligence and design and aims to produce reliable and valid data about implementing new technologies in architectural design practice. The purpose of the conference is to compile experiences in implementing AI and computational storytelling instruments to create models of architectural design. The conference is intended to bring together researchers, practitioners, philosophers, and theorists across multiple disciplines to discuss new paradigms of architectural thinking and production.The conference is arranged as a series of short presentations and panel discussions over the course of two days, engendering close discourse and lively debate.Conference website: https://www.ai-share-lab.com/playing-models-2023Organized by Karla Saldana Ochoa, Adil Bokhari, Lee-Su Huang, and Nikola MarincicDates: November 2nd and 3rd 2023Place:The in-person event will be held at the John and Anne Sofarelli Family Gallery—Univesity of Florida School of Architecture (registration warrants entry) The conference attendance is free of charge, but requires registration.
