About This Course
This intensive 3-days workshop explores the integration of artificial intelligence in designing climate-adaptive facades, bespoke architectural elements, and resilient urban infrastructures tailored for Arctic environments. Participants will engage in hands-on sessions using free AI tools to develop sustainable solutions addressing the unique challenges of Arctic urbanism.
Aim
To empower participants to use Artificial Intelligence (AI), environmental simulation, and data-driven design to develop adaptive facades and urban systems specifically suited to cold, Arctic, and sub-Arctic climates.
Course Objectives
- Foster innovation in cold-climate responsive design
- Demonstrate real-world applications of AI in sustainable architecture
- Equip professionals with simulation and optimization tools
- Promote interdisciplinary thinking across design, data science, and climate adaptation
- Support resilient, culturally sensitive urban development in extreme environments
