We are pleased to invite you to AIT’s CoDeC Symposion, celebrating the completion of the Cognitive Urban Design Computing (CoDeC) project!
Join us to hear exciting presentations and updates of CoDeC affiliated researchers from academia and industry, presenting current developments and project successes and giving you an outlook of the future in computational urban design. After the presentations you will have the opportunity to engage in inspiring debates with the presenters, the CoDeC team and other participants at a joint dinner.
This event does not only conclude the CoDeC project, but also serves as a starting point for an open discussion on the future development of computational urban design, and a debate on how urban data, artificial intelligence and generative design methods can shape sustainable and liveable cities of the future.
During the symposion, you will also have the opportunity to experience a live demonstration of the AIT City Intelligence Lab with an interactive, hands-on presentation of the methods and tools developed within the CoDeC project.
