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.
