Computational Design Lecture Series, Spring ’21 Computational Design Lecture Series, Spring ’21 Computational Design Lecture Series, Spring ’21 The Spring 2021 Computational Design Lecture Series at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Architecture explores relationships, and tensions, between artificial intelligence (AI) and design. Speakers from both academia and industry will discuss different approaches to using AI methods, and particularly machine learning techniques, in creative contexts. With these lectures, we […]
Spring 2021 Lecture Series: Creative AI with Runway with Cristobal Valenzuela Spring 2021 Lecture Series: Creative AI with Runway with Cristobal Valenzuela Spring 2021 Lecture Series: Creative AI with Runway with Cristobal Valenzuela Cristobal is a Chilean-born technologist and software developer. As one of the co-founders of Runway, he, along with the Runway team, has enabled creators to engage machine learning tools in a variety of creative practices. As an intuitive and approachable platform, Runway makes machine learning accessible to students and practitioners […]
Spring 2021 Lecture Series: Representation and Intelligence Spring 2021 Lecture Series: Representation and Intelligence Spring 2021 Lecture Series: Representation and Intelligence The spring 2021 lecture series explores how different approaches to context (i.e., users, materials, tools, social context) in artificial intelligence align with or diverge from the way creative users, artists, designers, and design scholars understand and use them. Register for Cristobal Valenzuela’s 2/25 lecture here in advance!
Site, Object, Technique: Fall 2020 MSCD Pre-thesis II Final Review Site, Object, Technique: Fall 2020 MSCD Pre-thesis II Final Review Site, Object, Technique: Fall 2020 MSCD Pre-thesis II Final Review Through readings, discussions, written assignments, and oral presentations the MSCD Pre-thesis II seminar cultivates the skills to identify a thesis research question, situate it within a wider scholarly conversation, state its relevance to the field, and clearly formulate its methods and key proposition. We will consider different approaches to method […]
Fall 2020 Lecture Series: The Digital Mundane Fall 2020 Lecture Series: The Digital Mundane Fall 2020 Lecture Series: The Digital Mundane The Fall 2020 Computational Design Lecture Series at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Architecture examines reconfigurations of architectural practice linked to the emergence of digital technologies. Speakers in the series offer original historical and speculative perspectives to elucidate how software-based practices in architecture reshape both architectural ideas and labors. This […]
