\u201cImagining Architectures for a Warming World\u201d is a 20-hour hands-on workshop that invites participants to explore the speculative potential of artificial intelligence applied to urban imagination in times of climate emergency. Using ComfyUI (Stable Diffusion) software, participants will learn to manipulate urban images to design visual interventions that critically respond to scenarios of risk, injustice, and collapse, but also imagine sustainable, regenerative, and desirable futures.

The workshop seeks to broaden participants' imaginative range by proposing the creation of both utopian and dystopian visual compositions, articulating visual narratives that critically and creatively reflect on the climate crisis. AI is understood here as a tool for aesthetic and political mediation, capable of challenging the relationship between representation and action in the urban context.

Divided into five modules\u2014introduction, two production sessions, finalization, and exhibition\u2014the workshop combines theory, practice, and collective creation. The final product will be a public exhibition at the Biennial, composed of projected images. The proposal aligns with the curatorial axes of the 14th BIAsp by addressing climate justice, urban adaptation, and symbolic reforestation of cities.

Open to students, architects, urban planners, artists, and other interested parties, the activity will have up to 20 participants, selected based on a letter of intent and portfolio. Each participant must bring their own laptop capable of running ComfyUI or using a cloud service (such as RunPod). The workshop will provide installation tutorials and prior guidance. The Biennial will provide internet infrastructure, tables, chairs, and a projector.

The workshop is free, subject to registration and selection process.

The final product will be a collective installation open to the public in the Biennial space.

About the proponents:<\/strong>

Victor Sardenberg is an architect and researcher focused on experimentation in architectural design, particularly in the areas of computational aesthetics, robotic fabrication, and artificial intelligence. In his doctoral thesis at Leibniz University Hannover (Germany), he developed a computational framework for predicting aesthetic preferences using artificial neural networks. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Mackenzie Presbyterian University and a professor at Detmolder Schule f\u00fcr Gestaltung (Germany).

Camila Zyngier is an architect and urban planner, professor at UFMG, and researcher in the areas of urban planning, geotechnologies, and participatory methodologies. Her work combines academic practice and creative criticism, exploring topics such as urban visualization and artificial intelligence in urban planning.

Marcella Carone is an architect, computational designer, and professor. With a Master's degree from AA (MSc EmTech) and a bachelor's degree from Mackenzie University, she has over a decade of experience in multi-scale projects. She works with feasibility, algorithmic design, AI, optimization, and digital fabrication. She is the creative director of M3C1, a firm that investigates the intersections of architecture, urbanism, design, and technology. She teaches in the graduate program at Mackenzie University, in addition to leading workshops on AI and computational design.
