Events

We are pleased to invite you to the 2025 Symposium on AI + The Future of Architecture Practice & Education, with guests Dr Gerhard Schmitt, Dr Jeffery Huang, Dr Anupama Kundoo and Dr Philip F. Yuan.

ESD Seminar by Chengchang Liu – This talk will introduce several novel methods that achieve even faster convergence rates or better computational complexities compared to various optimal methods by effectively incorporating curvature information and leveraging the min-max structure.

ESD Seminar by Neiwen Ling – Research on developing time-sensitive AI systems, focusing on Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based perception and LLM-driven planning will be presented in this talk.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Norman Hsu Chen-Wei – A brief, engaging introduction to Linux as the powerful, often unseen operating system behind much of the digital world.

LKYCIC Seminar Series – Around 15,000 Malaysian students from Johor Bahru spend close to a third of their day crossing the Causeway every morning to attend local public schools in Singapore and making the same commute back home at the end of the day. Yet so little is known about their border commutes, and this talk is an effort to make legible the temporalities and spatialities of their lives in motion.

ESD Research Seminar by Max Li – Recent projects related to weather-dependent service reliability of drone package deliver operations, UAS operations optimisation for hazardous environment navigation, as well as airspace congestion management for larger, air taxi-type vehicles will be discussed in this talk.

ISTD COIL Seminar by DBS Bank – This talk connects foundational knowledge with real-world applications, emphasising the vital role databases play in powering today’s AI-driven technologies.

ISTD COIL Seminar by Rohit Bansal – In this session, the speaker draws on two decades of experience at the intersection of technology and global finance to offer students an industry-first perspective on how emerging technologies are transforming the financial landscape.

ISTD Seminar by Fang Guoxin – Multi-Axis Additive Manufacturing (MAAM) is revolutionising 3D printing by enabling non-planar material deposition in true three-dimensional space.

LKYCIC Seminar Series – As cities confront climate change, urbanisation, and environmental degradation, sustainable development is increasingly urgent. Landscape performance, which evaluates how outdoor spaces function socially, environmentally, and economically, offers a valuable framework for building resilient, equitable, and livable cities. Grounded in ecosystem services science, it enables planners, designers, and policymakers to make informed decisions based on measurable outcomes rather than aesthetics or tradition. This presentation examines three case studies from the Landscape Architecture Foundation’s Case Study Investigation Program, where researchers, practitioners, users, and stakeholders assess long-term design impacts. Findings show how performance metrics inform planning—enhancing biodiversity, reducing runoff, and improving health and walkability—while also guiding integration into education and practice to promote environmental and community well-being.
