Parametric Architecture introduces a series of upcoming workshops in partnership with ArchDaily. In this workshop, participants will learn advanced methods to maximize control, efficiency, and quality. In addition, they will be taught design principles and how to engage creatively in the age of AI. The course will also cover post-processing techniques, productivity strategies, essential resources, and an overview of other applications to prepare for the oncoming AI boom.

Feira na Rosenbaum, a creative platform that promotes Brazilian design and artistic expression, will make its debut at the IED - Istituto Europeo di Design, a renowned international design school. The exhibition brings together 50 creative brands from different regions of Brazil, showcasing original products in design, art, fashion, wellness, and gastronomy. This free and inclusive event will take place from September 21 to 24, from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, at the IED campus, located at Rua Maranhão 617, in the Higienópolis neighborhood of São Paulo.

The AI Creative Challenge aims to encourage participants to use these AI-powered tools to generate visually impressive designs. Through human prompting, crafting, and imagination, participants will steer AI algorithms to create original designs that push the boundaries of architecture.
Incorporating AI tools like Midjourney and Dalle2 in the design process allows for rapid ideation, exploration, and visualization of concepts while deepening our understanding of AI's creative potential. These tools provide a unique opportunity to examine the interaction between human and artificial intelligence and assess the benefits of collaboration in the creative process.

Parametric Architecture introduces a series of upcoming workshops in partnership with ArchDaily. This workshop aims to provide comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in designing efficient geometries while leveraging data and visualization techniques to gain insights into the structural performance of their designs. Students will learn the fundamentals of parametric design, structural analysis, and optimization techniques, enabling them to create structure-aware and visually appealing architectural and engineering designs.

INSURGENCIES: Experiences in Public Spaces is an event that brings together the 8th International Festival of Urban Interventions (FIIU) and the 5th Placemaking Latin America Meeting, aiming to promote citizen-led urbanism through the exchange of experiences among Latin American countries.
