The course Discussing AI: Architecture, Art, and Research introduces AI as a potential collaborator in the creative process. Taking a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach, it brings together artistic, scientific, and philosophical perspectives to explore the role of AI in creative research and practice.

Emphasis is placed on discussion and critical reflection on both the possibilities and challenges of AI, including its broader societal implications. The course investigates how AI can act as a tool that complements and enriches human creativity, rather than replacing it. At its core is a re-evaluation of creative methods in light of AI’s fusion of digital and analogue approaches, drawing inspiration from, for example, Heidegger’s reflections on space and place.

Through hands-on exercises involving photography, physical model-making, written descriptions, and AI-generated content, participants will explore the process of translating between visual, analogue, verbal, and digital modes. The course invites reflection on the nature of the creative process, comparisons between analogue and digital expression, and discussions around AI’s role as a ‘creative generator’.

The aim is to better navigate the AI era with a nuanced and critical understanding of the ethical, creative, and societal implications of emerging technologies. Participants will be introduced to key concepts in generative AI, machine learning, philosophy, art, and the practical use of creative AI tools.
