Introduction
AI Panel Talk: AI and the Future of Architecture
In today’s world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing how we design buildings and spaces. With its ability to process vast amounts of data and analyze patterns, AI is becoming an essential tool in the creative process of architecture. This discussion is for anyone interested in exploring the potential of AI in shaping the future of our buildings and the spaces we inhabit.
Matias del Campo, one of the speakers, engaged in research, exploring the intersection of architecture and Artificial Intelligence with Michigan Robotics and the Computer Science department. Also, he has received awards like the Accelerate@CERN fellowship and AIA Studio Prize, reflecting his influence in the academic sphere as a board member for ACADIA and IJAC.
Our next guest is also interested in similar topics, Daniel Koehler is an urbanist, architect, and assistant professor at UT Austin. His work has been exhibited in various cities and is part of the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. His current research focuses on the urban implications of distributive technologies.

Guest Speakers:
Matias del Compo
Matias del Campo is an architect, designer, associate professor at Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Michigan, director of the AR2IL, and co-founder of the architecture practice SPAN. He conducts research on advanced design methods in architecture, primarily through the application of Artificial Intelligence, collaborating with Michigan Robotics and the Computer Science department. His firm SPAN gained wide recognition for the design of the Austrian Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and, more recently, for the Robot Garden at the Ford Robotics Building. SPAN’s work was featured at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2012 and 2021, ArchiLab in 2013, and the Architecture Biennale in Vienna and Buenos Aires in 2019. Solo shows include “Formations” at the MAK in Vienna and the exhibition “Sublime Bodies” at the Fab Union Gallery in Shanghai, China. Matias del Campo was awarded the Accelerate@CERN fellowship, the AIA Studio Prize, and was elected to the boards of directors of ACADIA and IJAC, the International Journal of Architectural Computing. In 2016 and 2020, Matias del Campo co-chaired the ACADIA conference and chaired the 2020 DigitalFUTURES edition. SPAN’s work is in the permanent collection of the FRAC, the MAK in Vienna, the Benetton Collection, the Albertina, the Pinakothek Munich, and several private collections.
His publishing work includes two editions of AD – Evoking through Design and Machine Hallucinations (co-edited with Neil Leach) as well as the books Neural Architecture – Design and Artificial Intelligence (ORO Editions 2022) and Sublime Bodies (co-authored with Sandra Manninger, Tongji Press 2017).
Daniel Kohler
Daniel Koehler is an urbanist, architect, and assistant professor for architecture computation at UT Austin. Before, Daniel researched at the Bartlett in London and Innsbruck University, where he wrote his PhD, published as “The Mereological City,” a study on the part-relationships between architecture and its city in the modern period. Daniel’s work has been exhibited in Prague, Milan, Venice, Graz, Montreal, London, and Austin, and is part of the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. His current research focuses on the urban implications of distributive technologies, which are designed by means of sets, data, interfaces, and their architecture.
