Transductions: Artificial Intelligence in Architectural Experimentation

Transductions: Artificial Intelligence in Architectural Experimentation brings together diverse works from over thirty architects and designers who are in the midst of exploring the experimental, co-creative, and co-generative potentials of artificial intelligence to open up new areas of architectural inquiry. New forms of experimentation are rapidly emerging out of co-evolutionary feedback loops among architectural discourses, techniques, formats, and media that include imagery, text, animation, augmented reality, prototypes, and tectonics that are both material and immaterial. Ranging from technical to conceptual, still to animated, voiced to visualized, and forming to formatted, these works assemble at Pratt Institute’s Rubelle & Norman Schafler Gallery to present a specific moment of experimentation during which architects are putting new techniques, technologies, and territories into play. While Transductions does not propose closed categories of architectural experimentation, five themes emerge across the work: Hybrids and Hallucinations; Immaterial Tectonics, Errors, and Glitches; Figures, Fields, and Formats; Bio-Synthetics and Geo-Synthetics; and Speculative Cultures and Scenarios.
