In this series of Back to School with..., we examine how digital technologies are reshaping the built environment, and how these transformations influence the ways we inhabit and experience it. How are digital technologies influencing the way our cities function, how they are imagined, represented, and designed? What does it mean for the way environments are produced, consumed, and understood? By examining the relationships between power, representation, and space, this series aims to develop a better and critical understanding of the (post)digital condition and encourage possibilities for imagining alternative futures.
This third and last session of the series deals with the way in which digitalisation and AI influence the architectural and design practice. Not just its impact on the act of designing itself, but also on the production of images and on the ways we conceive and experience space and materials. The evening starts with an introduction by Hedwig and Kevin on the series, followed by a lecture by Corneel Cannaerts.
