October 2025<\/strong>: Guest Lecture: AI explained for Architects, by Adam Sebestyen, TU Graz, G33 in the Gordon Stephenson building on 23rd October, at 1 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most architects today are familiar with state-of-the-art generative AI tools, their inner workings often remain a mystery. Yet, understanding the principles behind how AI generates text, images, videos, or makes accurate predictions is crucial. Such insight helps us assess the capabilities of these tools and make better judgments about when and how to apply them in design practice. Typically, grasping these concepts requires advanced knowledge of mathematics and computer science\u2014skills that most architects are not expected to possess. In this presentation, Adam Sebestyen, trained both in architecture and computer science, will explain these principles in a way that is accessible to architects, without requiring prior technical expertise.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

March 2025<\/strong>: Our recent London field trip was a resounding success. We visited renowned architectural firms\u2014Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, and Heatherwick Studio\u2014where we engaged with leading architects. These discussions offered valuable insights into their current projects, as well as their future recruitment plans and requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
