Building Intelligence (Perkins & Will)

Microsol Resources presents Charlie Portelli of Perkins & Will who returns to enlighten us once more. Following the popular "Ethics of AI" event last fall, this time he will focus on the current status of practical application of AI.

Learning objectives:

• Identify real-world application and benefits of custom trained AI models in the architecture profession.
• Explore strategies to unlock and leverage firm's existing data sets from building information models and other sources as raw data that can be used for training AI models locally, to respect client confidentiality.
• Discuss the considerations and potential challenges associated with implementing AI in AEC workflows.
• Evaluate the potential impact of AI on various aspects of the architectural design process

SPEAKER:
A licensed architect based in New York City, Charles has strong interests in exploring new methodologies that link computation, design, and fabrication. Currently, he is an Associate and Digital Innovation Strategist for Perkins&Will’s I/O group, where he focuses on envisioning 3D models and data as a focal point for project design and delivery strategies. Charles also teaches Environmental Parametrics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Center for Architecture and Sustainable Ecologies (CASE) program, where he focuses on combining parametric modeling, optimization, and daylighting as a strategy to inform design. Previously, he has taught and guest lectured at multiple institutions, including Pratt, CUNY College of Technology, and MIT.
Previously Charles was a Vice President at Thornton Tomasetti’s CORE studio where he headed up operations for a TTWiin startup called Konstru, focusing on BIM interoperability for structural engineers. Charles was also Senior Product Manager at Flux.io where he developed the product roadmap and oversaw multiple teams for the development of streamlined AEC integrations for a common data environment.
