Arch. Stanislas Chaillou, Architect & Sr. Data Scientist at Spacemaker’s R&D department, FR
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already made its way into countless industries, providing them with the means to meet new challenges. Its use in the field of architecture is still in its infancy, but current results and expected outcomes are promising. This technology represents much more than a mere opportunity, it is without doubt a decisive step forward, quite capable of transforming the architectural practice.
Bringing together concrete examples and recent results achieved in various fields of research, we present a landscape of AI’s presence in architecture and a panorama of the latest advances in this field. Architectural plans, elevations, perspectives, structures: as many scales to which AI can already contribute. Between current theory and experimentations, we intend to shed light on the inception of a new technological era, leveraging the architectural practice, while offering it a renewed relevance.
Short bio: A Paris native, Stanislas received his undergraduate degree in Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne, and his Master’s in architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Focusing his practice on Architecture and Artificial Intelligence, he believes in the necessary integration of both disciplines to change our built environment. Until recently, Stanislas worked as an Architect & Sr. Data Scientist at Spacemaker’s R&D department, where he is in charge of developing AI research projects, to assist and enhance architectural conception. He is today a faculty at IAAC in Barcelona, teaching on the same topic. Stanislas has lectured widely, at Harvard, the MIT Media Lab, the Sorbonne University, ETHZ, EPFL, l’Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées and others.
Stanislas was awarded two American Architecture Prizes (2017) and the Architecture Masterprize (2018). He also received the 2018 ZGF scholarship for his past architectural work. He is a Fulbright scholar, an Arthur Sachs Fellow and Jean Gaillard Fellow at Harvard University.
