The Dwellings

Tallahassee, Florida

As part of Robert F. Smith’s Southern Communities Initiative, you’ve been awarded a design residency in Tallahassee to help modernize technology at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. During the year-long residency, you’ll establish an architectural design atelier for collaboration with fellow researchers, focusing on graphics, spatial concepts, models, mixed reality presentations, and rapid prototypes. AI played a key role in optimizing design processes, generating options, and creating realistic renderings. The final structure will connect with the Dwellings Community for future neighborhood use, contributing to a cohesive, innovative urban development.
