A walk through the latent space of a Gothic architecture dataset. The concept of “latent space” is important because its utility is at the core of ‘deep learning’ — learning the features of data and simplifying data representations for the purpose of finding patterns. In architecture design, this ability can be used to explore and expose patterns of architectural significance that can reach from formal vocabularies to programmatic interrogation and even exploring structural properties and material agencies. #Artificial_Intelligence #machinehallucination #latentwalk #neuralarchitecture #weirdrealism #machinelearning #machinevision #generative_adversarial_networks #posthuman #gothic #architecture #design #method #methodology #ontology (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPDz9XCsi9g/?utm_medium=tumblr

Peaches & Plums Highschool Competition - Shenzhen, China. This competition kept us busy this summer. A 100.000m2 school for around 3000 Students which included large dorms, Physical Education Center, Laboratory building, Library, classroom clusters and more. The starting point for this project was a so called Attention Generative Adversarial Network, or AttnGAN for short. With this you can literally "speak" Architecture into being. Like casting a magic spell to materialize a project. AttnGANs transform words or sentences into images. Normally used to create convincing, realistic images of the desscibed objects, we used it against its rules by surrealistically describing the program, and using the results with only minor adjustments, including the vivid coloration of the project. Thank you very much to Bollinger&Grohmann: Arne Hofman, Robert Vierlinger, Klaas de Rycke and Ludovic Regnault for the amazing work on the structural engineering of this project! This project was shortlisted and made into the final round of the final five. An example of how to use Artificial Intelligence in Architecture design. #machinehallucination #GenerativeAdversarialNetworks #estrangement #weirdrealism #architecture #posthuman #AttnGAN #highschool #design #archdaily #archilovers #boingboing #colorfull #postdigital #defamiliarization #realism #artificialintelligence #ai #machinelearning (at Ann Arbor, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGlRn4isL09/?igshid=1m5v2v67ccea4

Looking forward for the lecture and discussion tomorrow!: AA School of Architecture - London, UK: In the Merging Minds: Exploring Collective Forms of Intelligence series - Merging Agencies. Lecture: Matter Ex Machina: Attempt of an Ontological interrogation of architecture and artificial intelligence - Matias del Campo 2020 Enriqueta Llabres and Matias del Campo in conversation about Agency and Artificial Intelligence. the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has allowed multiple sources of design and agency to be ‘compressed’ into algorithms that integrate novel or semi-novel products. In this lecture, Enriqueta Llabrés will discuss issues of authorship, responsibility and originality behind new forms of machine learning and deep learning while Matias del Campo will explore the synthesis of human ingenuity and AI as a design ecology.
