FEEDBack MIES: Architektura, umělá inteligence a budoucnost - diskuse a koncert ve vile Tugendhat

Vila Tugendhat, the iconic Brno work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, is once again becoming a stage for architectural reflection. This time, the focus will not only be on Mies's legacy of clarity, openness, and structural innovation, but also on the pressing question of how artificial intelligence and new technologies are transforming our discipline today.

The presentation and debate FEEDBack MIES will connect key figures in the global discourse: theorist Bart Lootsma, architect and educator Matías del Campo, innovator Erica Goldemberg, and Czech architect Jiří Uran Vítka. After brief introductory presentations, the panelists will engage in a live conversation about the intersection between modernist ideals and avant-garde experiments with artificial intelligence, biomorphic design, and digital fabrication.

Mies's vision of architecture as a rational, yet poetic art resonates strongly with contemporary attempts to work with algorithmic processes, machine learning, and computational form-finding. How can we reinterpret the transparency of space today in the era of synthetic images? What does authorship mean when machines become co-creators? And can the clarity of modernism coexist with today's aesthetics of fluid, biomorphic, or even chaotic forms? In the unique atmosphere of Villa Tugendhat, the discussion invites architects, students, and the wider public to reflect on the roots and horizons of architectural innovation. It is a moment when history and the future meet – and Mies’s enduring clarity becomes the lens through which we explore how artificial intelligence and new design tools are transforming the very essence of architecture.

Concert in the main living space of Villa Tugendhat
A unique jazz improvisation will take place using specially designed 3D printed musical instruments created by MONAD Studio (Eric Goldemberg & Veronica Zalcberg) in collaboration with musician and luthier Scott F. Halley. The concert will combine top-notch design, experimental sound, and improvisation, creating an extraordinary dialogue between music and architecture in the setting of Brno’s Villa Tugendhat by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
