I'm very much looking forward to lecturing tomorrow at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania. Not only because I'm presenting my book "Neural Architecture - Design and Artificial Intelligence" but even more because the presentation is followed by a dialogue between renowned architecture historian and theorist Mario Carpo and myself. Mario was so kind to contribute the preface for this book, and I'm very much looking forward to having the opportunity to finally discuss the ideas, concepts, and projects presented in the book with him in a public forum. My thanks go to Winka Dubbledam and the team at UPenn for making this event possible! https://www.design.upenn.edu/architecture/graduate/events/matias-del-campo-book-launch-and-conversation-mario-campo #neuralarchitecture #lecture #artificialintelligence #architecture #newparadigm #estrangement #ostranenie #defamiliarization #taubman_college #span_arch #dialogue #AI #generativeart #GenerativeAdversarialNetwork #GAN #midjourney #diffusion #transformergan #booklaunch #Theory (at University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOLfOZOntu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A set of strange Skyscraper “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” – Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus logigo-philosphicus, 1922. Following this logic, I have been exploring to "starve" Midjourney. Not mentioning specific styles or artists, but conditions and rules. In the example below, I used the physical description of clouds, one architectural typology, and a geometric ruleset. #neural_architecture #neuralarchitecture #promptism #generativeadversarialnetworks #diffusion_algorithms #artificialintelligence #AI #estrangement #defamiliarization #ostranenie #midjourney #aiarchitects #span_arch #authorship #MachineLearning #agency #sensibility #aesthetics #aiarchitects #aiarchitecture #highriser #social_housing #newparadigm #newdesignmethods (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCmNmxOKmh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Join us tomorrow for a lecture at this year's DigitalFUTURES Doctoral Consortium: Register here to join the Seminar: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_X63aFr1URLCTahi9TLfPRw Or watch on YouTube of Billibilli: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=DigitalFUTURES https://space.bilibili.com/588667146?spm_id_from=333.337.0.0 Deep Architecture - Data, Dreaming, and Neural Networks Neural architecture is the field of architecture that is primarily preoccupied with interrogating the emergent field of artificial neural networks (ANNs) as a method of designing architecture. This lecture presents an attempt to utilize Deep Learning and Machine Learning to capture the salient features of existing architecture in order to interrogate this data for their underlying architectural qualities. What is meant by underlying architectural qualities? The rational explanation would include aspects such as spatial layout, sectional distribution of volumes, the dialog with its environment, the volumetric balance, the material qualities of the design, the structural properties, and so on and so forth. All of these are things that can be explored with the help of Machine Learning processes. However, the ambition of the projects in this lecture maintains that architecture is more than just an assemblage of rational properties. This might explain the obsession with Neural Art, which represents an excellent mirror of our contemporary age, particularly regarding our shared agency with quasi-intelligent machines and their observation of the world. Can architecture do the same? Can Neural Networks help interrogate the latent layers within the geological deposits of the history of the architecture discipline and then assemble those found features into hitherto unseen designs? #neural_architecture #neuralarchitecture #promptism #generativeadversarialnetworks #diffusion_algorithms #artificialintelligence #AI #estrangement #defamiliarization #ostranenie #midjourney #aiarchitects #span_arch #strange #newparadigm #newdesignmethods #exhibition #the_funktion #machinelearning #machine_hallucinations, #midjourney #aiarchitecture (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce9Pad5OkmC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How do we fit in a world that debates the alien ontologies that Neural Network-based technologies produce? When suddenly architecture projects emerge from gargantuan amounts of data crushed through GPU’s running sophisticated deep learning processes? Surpassing the ability of humans to process data in unprecedented numbers. On the other end is the human ability to extrapolate possible new design methods out of these processes, the ability to find inspiration in mistakes, and the nuanced sensory to infuse space with additional meaning than the bare materiality would suggest. Questions on the nature of architecture and AI is gaining enormous momentum, as public interest in the methodology of using AI as a design tool is growing steadily. It is the right moment for a discussion about the impact of AI on the world of architecture. #artificialintelligence #architecture #design #posthuman #ontology #postdigital #neuralarchitecture #ar2il #StyleGAN #neuralart #span_arch #latent_walk #taubman_college (at Ann Arbor, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTvNdmroQUH/?utm_medium=tumblr

It was a great pleasure to moderate this panel discussion on AI and Architecture for the CityX Virtual Italian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021. With Daniel Bolojan, Daniel Koehler, Immanuel Koh, Sandra Manninger and Kyle Steinfeld. I you missed it, it's now avaliable on SPAN's YouTube Channel, and in the video archive of CityX: https://youtu.be/TEmJqNoblO0 Like and Subscribe! A discussion on methods, insights, and future possibilities of applications in Artificial Intelligence and Architecture design. The conversation gravitated around aspects of agency, emergent culture, ethics, bias, and the role of humans in a design ecology defined by Neural Networks and Artificial Intelligence at large.

Matias del Campo has been invited as a Creative Director to the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale Italian Virtual Pavilion Sezione del Padiglione Italia. The virtual pavilion is curated by Tom Kovac / Alessandro Melis and is titled CITYX Venice, responding to bienalle theme ‘How will we live together’ by Hashim Sarkis and La Biennale di Venezia. The exhibition opens to the public from Saturday 22 May through Sunday 21 November 2021 at the Arsenale, the 17th International Architecture Exhibition Italian Virtual Pavilion Sezione del Padiglione Italia. @CityXVenice #italianvirtualpavillion #ivp2021 #LaBiennaleDiVenezia #cityxvenice #span_arch #architecture #design #agency #authorship #MachineLearning #neuralnetworks #posthuman #postdigital #machinehallucination #artificial_intelligence Image credit: SPAN (Matias del Campo, Sandra Manninger) : Research Project: AI Architecture - Urban Fictions.

An interview with Data Aided Design about the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Architecture discipline. Thoughts on design culture, neural networks, defamiliarization, architects as data miners, and the strange ontology of Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, Zoom, and Miro boards.
