The talk will be on digital media applications as they relate to architectural design and practice. The discussion will cover early three-dimensional modeling tools, motion-graphics, augmented reality, and delve into harnessing collective design intelligence through crowdsourcing methods. The talk will continue on current research on artificial intelligence and its nascent explorations in architecture.
