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=
