Speaker
Neil Leach, Co-founder of DigitalFUTURES
Description
Everyone is talking about AI these days. But what exactly is AI? How did it evolve? And what potential does it have to influence the future? This lecture takes you on a roller coaster ride looking at the extraordinary – but often somewhat terrifying – potential of what is arguably the most significant invention of humankind. The lecture concludes that we are about to face a radically different form of intelligence – an ‘alien intelligence’ – that will far exceed human intelligence, and completely transform the discipline of architecture.

Our popular movie nights return for the winter season with a documentary on Carlo Scarpa and his deep bond with Japan.
Date: Tuesday 12 November 2024
Time: 19:00 - 20:30
Venue: BFI Screening Room, 21 Stephen Street, London, W1T 1LN
Description
The Pavilion on the Water by Stefano Croci & Silvia Siberini
A cinematic journey into the world of Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa and his passion for Japanese culture. Japan, to him, was an inspirational universe but also the place where he eventually died in 1978, at the height of his career. A nostalgic feeling permeates the whole film. Nostalgia for that rare event which is the birth of an artist. Although he passed away, he left behind a great and beautiful body of work that, still to this day, delights and amuses.

When: Saturday 26 October 2024, 9am-6pm
Where: Kohn Pedersen Fox, 7a Langley St, London WC2H 9JA
Working without a computer, you will need to think fast and draw faster, developing and testing your representational skills without the aid of digital technologies. Teams will be mentored by practicing architects, and the event will conclude with a juried design review.
The charrette is run in Central London on a weekend, and funding is available to help cover travel costs. Prizes will be offered for the winning team and the runners-up, with the winning proposal published and promoted across the AIA UK's social media channels.
