Co-creation workshop at TU Delft
Read more: Co-creation workshop at TU DelftHow can AI models be developed that recognize, interpret, and generate the soft values of architecture (such as social connection, identity, intuitive spatial experience, well-being)? How can multidisciplinary knowledge (design, psychology, data science) be integrated into AI-driven design models? How can AI strengthen rather than replace the designer – “co-intelligence”? These have been the three…
