On October 18–19, 2024, the Local Intelligence team participated in Digital Week at IstinyePark Izmir, showcasing the project in both an interactive workshop and a digital art installation. The event provided a unique opportunity to bring architectural AI research into a public venue and engage with a broad, intergenerational audience.

🧠Academy Hall – Workshop Experience

Titled "Local Intelligence: Time to Learn from AI," the workshop introduced participants to the project’s core ideas through hands-on interaction. Hosted in the Academy Hall, the session welcomed attendees from diverse backgrounds and age groups to explore our research using a specially designed interactive interface.

Participants experimented with the project's core AI model, generating architectural forms from musical prompts and vice versa. This experiential format offered a playful yet educational way to explore the creative intersections between architecture and music, while making abstract AI mechanisms more tangible. The workshop emphasized accessibility, allowing anyone to engage with cross-modal transformations and better understand how generative models interpret cultural data.

🎨 Digital Art Installation

In parallel, the Local Intelligence team curated an immersive digital installation that translated the project’s conceptual and technical foundations into a sensory experience. Drawing from the model's music-to-architecture and architecture-to-music pipelines, the installation featured projected visual compositions and point cloud-based spatial mappings.

Through projection mapping and audio-reactive visuals, visitors entered an environment where architectural forms evolved from sonic structures, and musical tones emerged from visual geometries. The installation not only conveyed the aesthetic dimension of the research but also opened a speculative space for visitors to reflect on how AI might reinterpret and recompose local cultural expressions.

By extending the project into public space, both components of the Digital Week presentation created new channels for understanding AI not just as a design tool, but as a cultural interface—one capable of mediating between the past and future, the tacit and the computational.
