Yesterday was the closing event of the exhibition "ON AIR: Faculty Work 2020-2022" of the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Michigan. I'm happy I had the chance to showcase some of SPAN's AI driven work from recent years. The Robot Garden for the new Ford Robotics building on the north campus of the University of Michigan was on show. The first project using various AI methods that actually got built. We also showed the Generali Center project at the Mariahilferstraße in Vienna, Austria. The exhibition was planned and curated by the amazing Prof. Kathy Velikov! More than 60 stellar examples of inspiration and innovation including research, professional practice projects, publications, and other creative works are on full display in a new exhibition of Taubman Faculty work from the past two years. Taubman College faculty are internationally recognized educators, researchers, and practitioners who embrace experimentation and innovation as a vehicle for engagement and change. With an experimental mindset, they seek alternatives and are driven by a desire to imagine and reimagine the future of the built environment as they explore how different disciplines, styles, and philosophies can inspire and improve our world and society.

I'm happy to share that the chapter "Urban Fictions" by Sandra Manninger, Alexandra Carlson and myself was published in the book "Machine Learning and the City" edited by Silvio Carta. Silvio collected an amazing roster of authors, among them Andrew Witt, Stanislas Chaillou, Benjamin Ennemoser, José Luis Garcia de Castillo y Lopez, Kyle Steinfeld, Julian Bleecker, Ray Kurzweil and many, many more.

Top Generative Adversarial Networks Courses | Univ

This advanced course will give an overview of network building blocks, followed by a review of Generative Adversarial Networks and their applications. The course also touches on latent space interpretation. At the end of this module, you will be able to build effective generative adversarial networks.

I'm happy to announce that the AR2IL, the Architecture and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Taubman college has won a UMOR-TCAUP RCI Award. This generous award allows us to continue our research on 3D Datasets for Architecture Design, allowing us to expand our global effort to create equitable datasets for architecture design. The project 'Model Mine' pertains to the creation of a 3D model database for the application of methodologies emerging from AI research in Architecture design. In particular design methods that use 3D Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GraphCNN) and related algorithms. Initial research in this area has been conducted in the last two years at the AR2IL yielding promising results – evidenced for example by the resonance to papers such as “3D Graph Convolutional Neural Networks in Architecture Design”. The M2 proposal’s goal is the creation of an architecture-specific 3D model database in order to expand and improve the results of this highly innovative design method. As this is still pioneering work, the right steps in establishing the necessary databases need to be taken. Currently, there are no 3D Model databases for Architecture that cater specifically to AI research. The proposed database consists of up to 10.000 architecture models (OBJ’s) representing housing projects of different scales, but more importantly: from different cultures. This is crucial in order to avoid the creation of an architecture database that is culturally biased in one specific direction. This would allow us to interrogate architecture through the use of AI techniques in an inclusive fashion, ensuring a diverse approach to this new branch of Architecture design. This proposal is part of the newly founded AR2IL laboratory, an interdisciplinary laboratory between the Architecture, Robotics, and Computer Science department of UoM. #generative_adversarial_networks #architecture #design #artificial_intelligence #neuralarchitecture #machinelearning #machinevision #realism #weird_realism #dataset #database #labeling #semantic_information #taubman_college (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ4RQc9CSmi/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm happy to announce that the Architecture and Artificial Intelligence Lab (AR2IL) at Taubman College has received a generous grant from ArtsEngine to continue our research on a semantic plan dataset. The project "Common House: Semantic Plan Database for GAN's in Architecture" presents itself as an opportunity to tackle a specific kind of database: plans with semantic information. In order to teach an Artificial Neural Network (Such as a GAN, a Generative Adversarial Network) the specifics of a plan -i.e: what is a living room, what is a sleeping room, what is a kitchen, etc. - the AI needs to be trained with data that is labeled accordingly. In collaboration with faculty and students from Computer Science and Robotics, the idea is to create a streamlined workflow for the creation of a dataset of plans with semantic information. Special attention is given to creating an inclusive dataset that avoids the pitfalls of focussing on Western architecture only. More information to come soon. https://artsengine.engin.umich.edu/ #generative_adversarial_networks #architecture #design #artificial_intelligence #neuralarchitecture #machinelearning #machinevision #realism #weird_realism #dataset #database #labeling #semantic_information #taubman_college (at Liberty Bell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQUIrNMMyy2/?utm_medium=tumblr
