Architecture, as an ancient yet ever-evolving discipline, has continually evolved alongside the development of human society. The integration of science, technology, and art remains its enduring hallmark. With the emergence of new technologies such as AI, big data, and autonomous driving, the spatial paradigms of future architecture and cities are being reshaped.
This lecture will analyze the distinctive creative concepts of architects throughout history by examining numerous classic architectural works. It will share the unique charm of architecture at the intersection of technology, humanities, and art, while exploring the aesthetic values and technological innovations embodied in various case studies. Building on this foundation, the speaker will further incorporate contemporary advancements in technology to examine scenarios and creative works related to future cities from a philosophy of science, technology, and society (STS) perspective. The aim is to present to the audience a mindset and pathway for interdisciplinary integrated creative design.
