The
exhibition “WIEN>AI” showcases the future of urbanism and deployment of radical architectural solutions that utilize artificial
intelligence (AI) primarily as a design tool. While AI's potential applications in architecture are vast and uncertain, this
exhibition takes a critical approach to its nascent capabilities and current limitations. As technology continues to evolve,
it is crucial to examine both its enduring and problematic impact on architecture and city planning, especially when considering
the socio-economic-political implications and ramifications of an unbridled reliance on this technology and its exponential
growth in the discipline.
The exhibition features architectural proposals
for Vienna's future, focusing on the railyards and various territories between Heiligenstadt and Spittelau. The works on display
utilized AI-enabling technologies such as Midjourny, Dall-e, and ChatGPT to generate, survey, and eventually develop new and
unexpected design concepts and proposals for this particular precinct in Vienna. While these technologies allow for radical
and visionary ideas to surface from a collective human-machine imagination, they also raise significant questions about the
role of humans and our notions of creativity and ethics in the formation of new and intelligent architectural proposals.
Through a unique insight into the intersection of technology and architecture, “WIEN>AI” offers an opportunity
to explore the current research conducted at Studio Hani Rashid at the Institute of Architecture at the University of Applied
Arts in Vienna. Visitors can experience how AI and humans can collaborate to create innovative and inspiring architectural
designs, while also questioning the ethical and creative implications of such collaborations.
