From AI Fundamentals to Cutting-Edge Applications in AEC

At the beginning of September the NCCR Digital Fabrication co-organised the Design++ Summer School: AI in AEC. Programme participantes delved into the transformative potential of machine learning and generative AI in reshaping building ideation and expediting sustainable design and construction management within the AEC domain. They gained invaluable hands-on experience with specialized AI applications tailored for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction. The final project presentations demonstrated the breadth and promise of these technologies to the future of the AEC industry.

The summer school concluded with a public keynote event featuring inspiring presentations by Dr. Valens Frangez (Halter AG), Dr. Matthias Standfest (formfollows.ai) and Prof. Dr. Bernd Bickel (Design++, ETH Zurich).
