About

Vera Parlac is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of architecture, artificial intelligence, and robotics, exploring how autonomous systems can reshape the built environment. Her work centers on the concepts of agency, indeterminacy, and human-machine collaboration, challenging traditional notions of architectural design as a static, deterministic process. In her highly cited 2018 paper, "Artificial intelligence and robotics in architecture: Autonomy, agency, and indeterminacy," Parlac argues for embracing the unpredictable outcomes of AI-driven design, positioning architects as curators of emergent, adaptive spaces rather than sole creators. This contribution has garnered significant attention, with over six citations, reflecting its influence on scholars and practitioners seeking to integrate computational thinking into architectural practice. Parlac’s research not only advances theoretical frameworks but also offers practical insights for developing responsive environments that evolve with user needs. Her work is notable for bridging speculative design with tangible applications, inspiring a new generation of architects to rethink creativity, control, and the role of technology in shaping our world.
