School of Architecture faculty Jason Vigneri-Beane, has recently spoken on architecture, design, experimentation and generative artificial intelligence at a symposium in Milan and a panel in Detroit.
The Intelligence Age symposium at Politecnico di Milano was organized by Elena Manferdini, Tommaso Brighenti, and Elvio Manganaro and featured talks and discussions on design and AI by ten architectural educators from important architecture schools across the world. Sessions were moderated by Jacopo Leveratto and Elena Manferdini. Vigneri-Beane discussed his own work, the ways in which Pratt Institute is developing educational infrastructures for the age of artificial intelligence, and the Transductions: Artificial Intelligence in Artificial Experimentation show that he co-curated with Pratt SoA colleagues Stephen Slaughter, Olivia Vien, and Hart Marlow at Pratt’s Schafler Gallery in the Spring of 2025.
Designing with Intelligence at the Detroit Institute of Arts was organized by Lawrence Technological University’s College of Architecture and Design for the 2025 Detroit Month of Design. Taking place at the historic Detroit Film Theatre, the event was moderated by LTU CoAD faculty Karl Daubmann and Sara Codarin and included presentations and discussions with Jason Vigneri-Beane, Curry J. Hackett, Humbi Song and Shelly Selim. Vigneri-Beane presented his generative AI experimentation around the themes of ecology, technology, design, hybridity, technique, and cyborg ecologies. In addition, the panel addressed a set of questions ranging from philosophies to aesthetics to ethics to techniques around emerging design media and technology, while a backdrop of experimental imagery from LTU faculty and students formed a rich visual environment for discussion.
