AI Architecture 2022
Register/Submit Deadline: Monday, Jan 9, 2023
"AI (Artificial Intelligence), while still evolving, is accelerating fundamental changes to our environment and values in society. AI that utilizes deep learning can possess independent cognition and acquire imagination and creativity like that of human beings. We are already beginning to see experimentation in AI’s creative ability through visual and performance art as well as writing. This competition fosters the use of artificial intelligence as a medium of creativity by allowing entrants to generate images using AI tools such as Midjourney and Dall-E. Entrants are challenged to create visualizations using AI to complete their architectural narrative."
