This CPD session explores how artificial intelligence is already reshaping architectural practice, moving beyond notions of ‘AI as automation’ towards AI as design intelligence. Through a series of real-world building case studies, the session examines how AI is being applied across key stages of architectural work – from early design option exploration and performance prediction […]
This CPD session will focus on sustainable design strategies employed at Cloaked House. More broadly, it intends to demonstrate how this as a case study carries lessons for other housing projects, including in relation to thermal comfort, operational and embodied carbon, and building retention. This session will enable architects and designers to apply more informed sustainable strategies to their own practice.
Though a balance of rational and resident prioritised design strategies, Shiel Street Community Housing verifies the notion that quality housing can be understated, affordable and delightful. This CPD session will focus on design strategies employed for this award-winning project. More broadly, it intends to demonstrate how this as a case study carries lessons for other […]
