Conference presentation “Automating Community Design Conversations in Urban Design using Chatbots and Machine Learning”

This project offers an artificial intelligence tool to tackle some of these challenges by automating design conversations with thousands of residents in urban projects. From the participatory design perspective, the tool allows residents to influence and intervene in design decisions before and during the planning process through conversations. We developed a chatbot using a machine learning model that can discuss an architectural project with various stakeholders and automatically generate a design brief.

Next week’s talk – Power to the People: a Case Study of Architectural Crowdsourcing Methods to Produce Better Design

Next week, on the 15th of September 1922 I will present shortly the case study and field experiment of the ZHR project. In that project, my colleagues and I tried out my crowdsourcing system and chatbot in real settings. I can say that the results are very exciting and suggest that public participation can be …
