Details

Brief

The 10th Advanced Architecture Contest tasked participants with realizing the impact of AI and questioning its effect on the built environment. The key challenge was to strike a balance between creating spaces that serve the practical needs of humans while honoring the representation of ancient life forms. Integrating education, aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability was crucial to achieving harmonious cohabitation between humans and other species.

Approach

The proposal explores how AI can mediate between human occupation and ecological presence — designing spaces that respond dynamically to both human activity and environmental data. The work questions the boundaries between architecture and organism, between the designed and the grown.
