Iro Armeni to deliver lecture on mixed reality and human-centred built environments on 22nd Oct 2024 in Kunsthalle Zürich
Iro Armeni, Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, is invited by the Chair of Circular Engineering for Architecture (CEA) for a guest lecture on adaptive spaces using Mixed Reality at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and machine perception.
This lecture is part of a series organised by Prof. Dr. Catherine De Wolf for her fall 2024 course and the AI, Art and Architecture (AAA) Experiments, offering students and the public a diverse range of global insights on sustainable design and construction. Through an interdisciplinary approach, Prof. Dr. Iro Armeni develops quantitative and data-driven methods to generate, predict, and simulate new or renewed spaces that centre human demands both physically and digitally. In her upcoming lecture, Prof. Dr. Iro Armeni will focus on how to create sustainable, inclusive, and adaptive built environments using Mixed Reality. Iro completed her PhD at Stanford University in August 2020, followed by a Postdoctoral Fellow at ETH Zurich in 2023, partially under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Catherine De Wolf. She has also worked as an architect and consultant for both the private and public sector, and is the recipient of the ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Google PhD Fellowship, and the MEXT Scholarship.
The lecture will take place at 17h15 at the CEA ‘Mehrwerk’ structure in Kunsthalle Zürich, Limmatstrasse 270, 8005 Zürich, and is open to the public.
The Chair of Circular Engineering for Architecture (CEA) develops research on matching reused architectural materials with people and projects through digitalization for a circular built environment. For more information visit our webpage.
