The Ghost and the Machine: Defining Human & Computer Roles in Sustainable Design
Explore how architects can align the AIA Framework for Design Excellence with emerging technologies like AI—balancing human purpose and computational power to advance high-performance, sustainable design that serves people, planet, and equity.
About the live course
The AIA Framework for Design Excellence now defines good design as that which meaningfully addresses human health, ecological thriving, and social equity. At the same time, new technology, such as AI and advanced situation tools, has entered the forefront of architectural discourse, bringing with it unique challenges and opportunities. To navigate the current era and to reach the potential of high-performance design, we’ll need a clear vision for how we can most effectively leverage technology to serve human needs. Drawing on a decade of sustainable design leadership, Corey will discuss the unique roles of human purpose and computational prowess within an effective sustainable design process.
- Learn how to effectively communicate the value of sustainable design.
- Understand why goal setting and intention are an essential part of any AI workflow.
- Recognize the risks of designing without agency.
- Learn how to leverage technology to get information to the right person at the right time.
