Brighton exhibition explores AI visions of a sustainable future

From 27 January to 7 February, visitors to the University of Brighton’s Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA) will have the chance to explore the (quite literally) limitless potential of AI-rendered art to inspire solutions for a world impacted by climate change and environmental degradation.

The AI algorithm behind the show has delved into myriad concepts and imagery around 'green architecture' to generate its own visions of a startling world where nature is integrated totally into the structure of urban buildings, from houses to skyscrapers.

The free exhibition is the brainchild of Dr Poorang Piroozfar, a Reader in Architectural Technology and Digital Construction at the University of Brighton and Dr Eric Farr, an Honorary Professor of Architecture and Design at University of Liverpool.

Dr Farr said: "Our planet is on the verge of passing a turning point beyond which there might be no imaginable return. Questing after a healthier, more liveable built environment, we have turned to a collective public imagination of a healthy planet."

Dr Piroozfar added: "Building on a range of human inputs, AI has assisted us with re-imagining visionary illustrations of the future in which environmentally responsible architecture dominates our urban landscapes.”
