Mona Ghandi: Architecture in the Age of Digitalization and the 4th Industrial Revolution

About the event

Part of the Architecture Faculty Lecture Series.

Join Mona Ghandi of the School of Design and Construction for a lecture based on her research interests.

Nowadays, extraordinary advancements in communication, artificial intelligence,  data, cloud computing, biotechnology, robotics or additive manufacturing are fusing the physical, biological,  and digital systems of production. This lecture focuses on emerging  technologies and their role in advancing innovative design and  alternative models of building delivery to improve the quality of life. It emphasizes the impact of data-driven design  processes, computational thinking, and generative design on creating  adaptive user-oriented spaces which result in improving personal and  social well-being and optimizing energy consumption. It focuses on adaptive spaces that can respond to the user’s physiological  and psychological needs based on the biological and neurological data  using artificial emotional intelligence. It showcases the artificially  intelligent and cyber-physical spaces that can learn from users’ behavioral patterns in real-time, enhancing  environmental quality and promoting more flexible, human-centered  designs for people with mental/physical disabilities.
