Sustainable AI for Architecture is a one year immersive experience working alongside leading architects & firms on real projects while acquiring the hottest in-demand skills.
This program consists of industry driven modules designed to give you a true immersive and character building experience while working on cutting edge projects.
First Semester (September – December)
We’re exploring a new world of possibilities for creating architectural solutions through the power of parametric design.
Parametric design is a paradigm in design where the relationship between elements is used to manipulate and inform the design of complex geometries and structures. This module covers:
Second & Third Semester (January – August)
Using artificial intelligence (AI) software and the compute power of the cloud, generative design enables engineers to create thousands of design options by simply defining their design problem – inputting basic parameters such as height, weight it must support, strength, and material options.
A few of the most forward-looking companies in the world, including Airbus, Under Armour and Stanley Black & Decker, are using generative design to solve engineering challenges and come up with design solutions that the human mind could never conceive on their own.
First & Second Semester (January – May)
Preparing for a sustainable future is at the forefront of many countries and companies’ goals for the next decade, and it’s making for some exciting design innovations. Sustainable architecture is geared towards creating functional buildings today that will continue to have a minimal environmental impact and a low energy usage. These environmentally conscious design techniques are paving the way for a whole new wave of sustainable architecture industry that will be looking for skilled designers ready to take on the new global challenges. Here are the main units covered in this module:
Second Semester
Third Semester
Understanding brain stimulations and their repercussions is the cornerstone of user-centered design. Architects, together with psychologists & neuroscientists, capitalise on this knowledge to scale up buildings that promote holistic reciprocities.
Neuroarchitecture looks in to what an office, a school, a hospital, or a house should be like in order to make us feel the right emotions in specific places. It also goes to contribute to the overall mental & psychological well being
Third Semester
First Semester
The world is changing. Socially. Economically. Environmentally. Politically. Extreme fluctuations in how people inhabit this earth are causing migration into city centers faster than ever before, and raising questions about how we better design our built environment to sustain that incredible growth. Cities are transforming in smart cities. A transformation led by architects shaping our next phase of how we as humans live and interact. In this module you will be equipped with the latest skills to contribute to this movement like:
Industry immersion trip to the UK
The program ends in an immersive one week trip to London where the students will meet, learn and network with leading architecture companies, visit creative studios, explore the most advanced fabrication labs, experience inspiring projects built and meet up with various companies who could be your next destination in your professional career! A week full of opportunities, networking and exploration that will have a lasting impact!
Graduate in London
The final day marks the graduation of the students from the program with a ceremony in the presence of experts, professionals and industry leaders to conclude the skill acquisition journey. The students will be presenting the projects done throughout the year in front of strategic company stakeholders. The ceremony ends with the distribution of certificates & awards by the panel.
Commitment: 2-3 sessions per week after work/study hours (UK time).
Learn from award winning global experts who are advancing the field of architecture and shaping future cities & buildings

He is most excited when solving complex urban issues and he passionately shares his learnings. His greatest project successes are aspirational but ultimately achievable.
Computational design & Smart cities
Grimshaw
Computational Design Specialist with a background in Architecture and Urban Design, holding a PhD about the application of computational methodologies for urban regeneration strategies. My present focus and interests lie in the application of Geo-computation techniques in R and Python in order to generate tools and web apps to influence the decision making process through spatial data analysis in Masterplanning and urban design.
Computational Designer
Wilkinson Eyre Architects
Georgios Drakontaeidis is an Architect and computational designer based in London, currently working for Wilkinson Eyre Architects and an architectural roboticist at the Bartlett School of Architecture.
His research explores how technology interacts and affects the way we design, make, and visualize our environment. Through his collaboration with designers and artists, he has developed top-notch skills that vary from complex geometrical modelling and 3d visualization to creative coding and architectural robotics.
Here’s a rule of thumb to consider when choosing the right learning program:
If it’s not personalized, it’s not effective.
Each one of the 20 selected young candidate is different. You have different goals, characters, skills and mindsets. This is why our programs are limited to only 20 students per cohort. Each candidate that enrolls in the program has a personal path that is created and tracked by the experts. This makes the learning process much more effective and helps us open the right connections and opportunities for each one!
The value doesn’t end when you graduate. In fact, building a strategic network is what will actually open the right opportunities.
When you make it in the program, you’ll be benefiting forever.
When the program ends, you’ll have access to our global experts network from leading companies in cities all over the world!
Besides the network, you’ll be included in our global community and channels where we host events, share learnings and support each other to reach each one’s goals. Think of it as your everlasting learning community.
