In the series Urban Fictions: Deples - SPAN 2020....When Detroit meets Naples and they have a lovechild....imagine this city somewhere along the west coast of Italy. #machinehallucinations #neuralarchitecture #neuralstyletransfer #architecture #spanarch #artificialintelligence #design #posthuman #postdigital #archdaily #neuralstyle #suckerpunchdaily #ai #deeplearning #machinelearning (at Ann Arbor, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CITs9f3skHY/?igshid=1bz8o1x1dq6wj

In the "Urban Fictions" Series: Rude Landscapes - SPAN 2020. At the last ACADIA conference I presented two of our papers on Architecture and Artificial Intelligence - '3D Graph Convolutional Neural Networks in Architecture Design' and 'How Machines Learn to Plan'. One was presented in the session "Design Cultures, Representation, and Aesthetics". Session Chair Mara Marcu, described the presented work in the session as "Rude" in the most positive sense of the word. Now, some time after the conference, and with some time to ponder the term, I can sympathize with the term. In the sense that it evokes aspects of estrangement and defamiliarization that an aesthetic driven by Neural Networks produces. The estrangement of the foreground. A 'Weird Realism' or a 'Strange Assemblage' (assemblage of code, rather than matter) Do me a favor, and enjoy the Rude Landscapes on a larger screen, or zoom in if you are on a smartphone - then you can dive into the fissures, cracks, orifices, strange dolines and violently rude coloration of the Rude Landscapes. #machinehallucinations #neuralarchitecture #neuralstyletransfer #spanarch #neuralstyle #architecture #landscape #artificialintelligence #AI #design #rudelandscapes #archdaily #archinect #archilovers #suckerpunchdaily #pattern (at Ann Arbor, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJCbvyM-Nh/?igshid=9xaugh103j30

Today 3pm to 5pm (GMT+1): Final review of our course "Imaginary Cities" at IAAC, Barcelona: This course interrogates the use of Artificial Intelligence as a highly informed methodology for urban design. More specifically it relies on the use of 2D to 2D Style-transfer based on Neural Networks to explore data driven designs that combine aspects of expediency and performance with aspects of urban culture, form and sensibility. Review Guests: Areti Markopoulou, Mathilde Marengo, Aldo Sollazzo, Eduardo Rico and Philippe Morel. It was a great pleasure to work with this amazing group of students on this new frontier of urban design methodologies.
