Architecture Professor René Peralta was invited to be a judge for the new Archinect competition, Generative Futures: An AI + Architecture Storytelling Challenge. This competition aims to address the potential opportunities, challenges, and implications of AI on creativity, cities, and humanity.
Generative Futures is part of Archinect In-Depth, a new initiative that explores the most pressing and transformative subjects in the architecture community. In addition to the competition, this series will include a variety of feature articles and news coverage investigating the impact of AI on design studios, construction sites, urbanism, and other core architectural realms.
The competition is open to all and will be judged by a stellar jury of figures from the design world. Entrants are invited to submit an essay accompanied by story images that imagine the future of the built environment through the lens of artificial intelligence.
Submissions will close on Monday, June 12, at 6:00 p.m. The winners of the competition will receive a cash prize, a year-long subscription to the Morpholio Trace and SketchArch Pro apps, and a publication on Archinect and Bustler’s editorials and social media pages.
