Experimenting is about the search for a code. Just as nature is defined by chemical processes, such as the photosynthesis equation, human DNA is also a code. A computer program, just like AI, is a code based on which all programmed devices operate. We thus see AI as a tool. Our experiences with 3D AI research allow us to see beyond the divides of the general AI discourse surrounding ethics, control and sustainability. Rather than focusing on positives and negatives only, we can productively unpack the nuances of AI use and misuse. We encourage class discussion, asking questions such as: Can nature and the planet in crisis be saved by AI? How can we design with AI? The studio searches for the most efficient ways in which AI education contributes to creative and academic development of students.

He acquired his experience while working at Rem Koolhaas’s OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) in Rotterdam and at Bogle Architects and Building Designs in London and Prague. His work ethos is based on continuous testing and designing in a broader context. He considers himself an open and logical thinker with a progressive approach. FUTURESEARCH STUDIO is an interdisciplinary office for architecture, design, research a futures studies – at the moment curating the research project X UTOPIA – a project devoted to the theme of the peripheral utopia – focused on a specific site but aims to transcend the urban/rural and local/global divides. “We believe that when faced with rapid change and challenging questions, we should not stand still like a deer in the headlights.”
