AI & Automation in Architectural Research and Practice (AIARP 2024) is an international conference held on October 10 at ENSA Paris Malaquais. The conference brings together specialists in architecture, engineering, construction and computation to present and discuss the progressive integration of AI & Automation in the AEC industry. The conference will take place at ENSA Paris Malaquais and via an online webinar platform. The event will be conducted in English, and free registration is available through a registration form.
Attendees will have the chance to hear and discuss with renowned invited speakers including Sherif Tarabishy (Foster + Partners), Robert Stuart-Smith (University of Pennsylvania and UCL), Isabelle Ryl (PSL University) and Zoubeir Lafhaj (Ecole Centrale de Lille). Moreover, young researchers from ENSA Paris Malaquais, UCLouvain and a Media artist from California will present their submitted articles. The conference will cover a range of topics from machine learning in design, AI Datasets, classification models and Bias to construction 4.0 through robotic fabrication and 3D printing.
The conference broadens the discussion around the potentials and consequences of automation within the architectural landscape, investigates the methods of hybridizing human and machine intelligence while questioning the added value behind such co-existence.
