The Martin Centre Research Seminar Series: Tim Fu

The 56th Martin Centre Research Seminar Series - Easter Term, Seminar 1

We are delighted to welcome Tim Fu, who will give a talk on:

AI: The Rewriting of Architecture

Abstract:
Tim Fu explores how artificial intelligence is changing the foundations of architectural practice, from how ideas are formed to how teams coordinate, evaluate, and make decisions. Drawing on his transition from Zaha Hadid Architects to founding an AI native studio, he maps the shift from production heavy workflows to design cultures built around judgement, authorship, and fast iteration with clear intent. The talk connects architecture, urbanism, and research, showing how architectural discipline can harness machine creativity into coherent, buildable work that still carries unmistakable human authorship.
