Can we build our cities like forests, with forests and from forests?
The series explores urban living grown from forests. Predicting synthetic biology applications in building construction, the drawings open windows into an AI-infused architecture as second nature. Buildings turn into carbon sinks, forested carefully with rapid-growth trees by an AI that ubiquitously surrounds us. When AI is like water, and you have to learn to swim in it - do we also have to re-learn how to dwell in a world built by, from, and with AI?
Computational architect co-designing future buildings with AI. Inspired by the first generation visionars of the digital: Constant, Yves Klein, Superstudio, ArchiZoom, I believe we can project a build environment that is fundamentally digital in its physics. All work is generated by AI systems and my advice as professional architect. The artwork reflects the artistic side of my academic research as a professor at UT Austin focusing on the implications of AI on cities and their architecture. The work has been exhibited in Prague, Milan, Venice, Graz, Montreal, London, Austin, and is part of the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
