Phillip Bernstein, FAIA and deputy dean and professor adjunct at Yale School of Architecture, will present \u201cWHO IS THE ARCHITECT? Understanding Professional Agency in the Emergent Era of AI\u201d at Ball State University’s Estopinal College of Architecture and Planning on Sept. 23, 2024.<\/p>\n

LECTURE DESCRIPTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an upcoming paper, architect and historian George Johnston ask a central question in an era where technology is increasingly autonomous: who is the architect? He argues that this definition has evolved over time, and it\u2019s clear that this evolution will continue as knowledge work is increasingly automated, augmented and\/or eliminated by algorithms. What does this question mean for the future of our profession, our roles, responsibilities, obligations, and education? This talk will attempt to set some context for the current evolution of AI, set against the history of digitization in architecture, and speculate on possible futures and strategies for architecture.<\/p>\n
