Hello!

We have some exciting news to share with you today!✨

Today, we have a workshop, Spatial Dynamics: AI & Human Movement Design, and it's free for digital members. This workshop aims to help you understand various thinking processes and develop iterative algorithms to evaluate circulation within a given space. The class predominantly deals with the dynamics of numbers, probability, and data concerning the flow of people, space measurement, and integration.

We are excited to announce the “AI Creative Challenge 4.0”, a global event that brings architects and designers together to push the boundaries of AI-driven design in architecture. The challenge is to harness the capabilities of these AI tools to quickly ideate, visualize, and create conceptually impressive architectural designs. Highlighting the importance of human prompting and imagination.

Have a great weekend!
