Event Details

TEA talks are a series of informal talks from our School of Architecture on the theme of Technology, the Environment, and the role of Architecture, now and in the future.

This session brings together leading researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and practice to explore how applied AI and computational methods are transforming architectural design education and construction.

As AI systems become embedded within design education and professional workflows, questions of authorship, accountability, and judgement are beginning to be redefined. Our talks will reflect on how ethics, regulation, and pedagogy must evolve to equip future architects with the capacity to work critically with these new tools. The session will consider how education can sustain human creativity and social responsibility in an age of generative design, and what this transformation means for the identity, values, and expertise of the architect in the decades ahead.
