Over the past weekend, the impactful work of our nationally ranked FIU School of Architecture research faculty and students was highlighted on CBS Saturday Morning News. The feature showcased the innovative projects of our Robotics + Digital Fabrication Lab, our Doctor of Design students, and our renowned faculty. Professor Thomas Spiegelhalter’s architecture students at the FIU School of Architecture studied how rising sea levels could affect the future of South Florida infrastructures during the hurricane season. In his interview with CBS, he described how his students used artificial intelligence to plan future cities, including design scenarios of floating and stilt buildings with resilient green-blue infrastructures up to the year 2100. These designs demonstrated metropolises and structures that mimic natural shapes to withstand future hurricane storms and impacts from erosion. Directed by Dr. Shahin Vassigh, the Robotics and Digital Fabrication Lab was dedicated to advancing the built environment through technological innovation. Dr. Vassigh and post-doctoral candidate Sara Pezeshk researched the use of 3-D printing to develop bio-tiles that could reduce coastal erosion and counteract the negative impacts of sea-level rise. The efforts by the FIU School of Architecture supported FIU’s Distinction for Environmental Resilience and collaborated with community organizations to develop and implement solutions-centered initiatives focused on sustainable cities and communities, particularly for South Florida during the hurricane season.

The first day of the Smart City Expo Miami (SCEM23) featured a notable panel discussion, moderated by Marilys Nepomechie and including Sara Pezeshk, Biayna Bogosian, and Thomas Spiegelhalter. The event, captured by photographer Tere Garcia, brought together global leaders in sustainable community development. The expo, organized by Bernardo Scheinkman, Architect, Urban Planner, and CEO at Smart Cities Americas, was a significant gathering for those at the forefront of smart city innovation and sustainable urban planning."

Book Information: Automation, a mixture of algorithms, robots, software, and avatars, is transforming all types of jobs and industries. This book responds to one critical question for the design and construction industry: "how are architects, engineers, and contractors using information technology to further automate their practices?" Addressing the use of new digital technologies, particularly parametric automation for design and construction in the building industry, this book looks at how technologically advanced architectural and engineering practices are semi-automating their design processes by using sophisticated algorithms to transform their workflows. The book also documents a set of firms that are further advancing automation by using pre-fabrication, modularization, and custom designs via robotics.

Prof. Thomas Spiegelhalter presented at the Networks, Markets & People (NMP 2024) International Symposium. His lecture, titled “From Blueprint to Reality: A Design-Built Analysis of Urban Sustainability and Carbon Neutrality,” was accepted as part of the Symposium Proceedings and published in a SPRINGER book. The Symposium was organized by the UNESCO MED LAB – Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria (Italy), in collaboration with ASTRI Scientific Association and the National Italian Committee of ICOMOS, and supported by various international academic institutions and scientific societies. Key supporters included CETRAD – Centre for Transdisciplinary Development Studies, University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Vila Real (Portugal), NEUROLAB – DICEAM Department, Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria (Italy), GRUPO ANTE – University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain), and LABOREM – Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria (Italy). The Symposium took place from May 20, 2024, to May 25, 2024. For more information, please visit the Symposium website: https://www.nmp.unirc.it/?page_id=216.

In a recent research workshop event hosted at the architecturally striking Shonan Fujisawa Campus (SFC) of Keio University, Principal Prof. Spiegelhalter had the privilege of engaging with brilliant Ph.D. and graduate students, guided by Professor Wanglin Yan. Professor Yan served as the Director of the Research Center for Climate Change Adaptation within Keio University’s Faculty of Environmental Information Studies and was also at the helm of the EcoGIS Lab, a hub of innovation. During this event, in Spiegelhalter’s capacity as a Global Visiting Professor at Keio Universität, he had the opportunity to share insights from his extensive three-decade journey. The focus of his presentation was “Envisioning Carbon-Positive Masterplans: Green-Blue Infrastructures and Adaptive Building Scenarios from 2018-2100,” with a specific emphasis on regions spanning Europe, Africa, and the United States. In addition to his presentation, Spiegelhalter’s esteemed colleague, Takeru Shibayama from TU Vienna (Austria), brought forth valuable insights into “Goal-oriented Mobility Planning for Sustainable Urban Mobility (SUMP),” enriching our discussions with a broad spectrum of research projects. A highlight of the day was delving into Shun Nakayama’s impressive thesis, which revolves around an AI-ML-assisted interactive online Food-Water-Energy Nexus (FEW) app and platform designed for a Tokyo metropolitan district—an innovation that holds great promise for a brighter future. The workshop concluded with a visit to the Smart City Fujisawa project, a testament to sustainability, urban planning, and technology. This endeavor was a result of collaboration between the Japanese technology company Panasonic and various partners.

In a remarkable display of innovation and research, the “BIOCALIBRATED: TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR BIODESIGN PRACTICES SYMPOSIUM” at Central Saint Martins – University of the Arts London, was a hub of groundbreaking ideas and discussions. The two-day event, which ran from November 30th to December 1st, 2023, brought together leading minds in the field of biodesign. One of the highlights of the symposium was a research presentation on “SynBio-calibrated Carbon-Positive-Building Infra-Design Research”. This insightful session offered a deep dive into the potential of biodesign in transforming our infrastructure in environmentally positive ways. The symposium also featured a stimulating panel discussion in Session 7, titled “REGENERATIVE SYSTEMS AND CIRCULAR MATERIALITY”. This session was moderated by Alice Taylor, a renowned Lecturer in Biology and Living Systems. The panel included illustrious speakers like Pragati Vasant from IAAC, Ricardo Luque, Marcos Cruz, Sherru Aine, and Lola Ben-Alon from Columbia GSAPP. Their collective expertise in various facets of biodesign provided a comprehensive view of the potential of regenerative systems and circular materiality in contemporary design practices. In addition to these academic discussions, the symposium also showcased graduate projects from the FIU Design Studio, highlighting the practical applications of the theories and techniques discussed. These projects exemplified the innovative spirit of the next generation of designers and researchers." For more information, click here
