Urban morphology in the age of Artificial Intelligence
What developments is the urban space project taking, which aims to be oriented toward ecological transition in the time of artificial intelligence?
Nearly 300 scholars from five continents will meet from June 17 to 20 at the Castello del Valentino to reflect on these topics. The occasion is the International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF), which celebrates its thirty-second edition in Turin this year.
The event, ideally aimed at all cities around the world starting with the City of Turin as a digital citizenship laboratory, is hosted by the Politecnico di Torino with the Department of Architecture and Design-DAD. The scientific approach and organization of the Congress were handled by the Transitional Morphologies Research Center, led by professor Marco Trisciuoglio and active for over ten years in studying the dynamics of transformation of urban form in Europe, Asia, and the Global South, also with the Joint Research Unit established between Southeast University of Nanjing, China, and the same Politecnico di Torino.
Among the key moments is the lecture by Marco Trisciuoglio, conference organizer, on June 17, focusing on the urban form of Turin and titled "The grid as a matrix of transitional morphology"; Journalist Bruno Ruffilli (La Stampa) will interview professor Barbara Caputo of Politecnico di Torino and Meta Berghauser Pont, professor at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, on the current state of Artificial Intelligence and Urban Morphology, and on the many possible intersections between these two fields.
Additionally, Politecnico di Torino will address the social impact of research in urban morphology in the form of “common engagement” offering a fresh reinterpretation of Augusto Cavallari Murat’s research from the 1960s as a precursor to Space Syntax. Most importantly, the university will launch (through a Dive Deep session on artificial intelligence and territory) a potential master’s-level training program combining studies in both urban planning and computer and automation engineering.
