Fostering Augmented Intelligence in Architectural Education to Address Complexity

In the coming decades, climate change driven migration will dramatically increase urban populations and create profound design challenges. Designing for this context will be difficult and involve balancing multiple objectives. Preparing future generations of architects to tackle such complexity is crucial. Developing pedagogical approaches that can better equip students to manage complex design problems in an increasingly hot and crowded future is, therefore, a pressing problem for architectural education. The emerging field of augmented intelligence explores the combination of human and artificial intelligence to solve complex problems and offers a new lens for architectural education to engage computation. This research presents educational case studies introducing key concepts and tools for augmented workflows in project-based architectural studio settings.
