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.
