Playing Models: Artificial Intelligence – Architecture – Storytelling is an annual symposium series launched in 2022 that has evolved into a cross-institutional collaboration between the University of Florida, ETH Zurich, Carnegie Mellon University, and Lawrence Technological University. Now in its fifth cycle, it provides a platform to explore the mathematical, political, and philosophical transformations emerging with the rise of AI. Rooted in the idea of architecture as an intelligence that connects disparate concepts and narratives, the symposium features lectures and discussions around specific themes each year, remaining freely accessible both in person and through live broadcasts on YouTube.
