In our second Study Group at Baukunst, Contours of CAD and AI, we set out to explore how emerging AI and machine learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize computer aided design in industrial design, engineering, construction, virtual environments, and beyond. We worked in collaboration to form a picture of what the future of engineering design software might look like, and how it might in turn shape the world around us and entire professions.

Baukunst Study Groups are short, collaborative projects where the participants dive into new areas of inquiry. Each Study Group is designed to inspire collective members both in their domain knowledge and in applying their brains, bodies, and spirits to wholly new directions.

Baukunst is a collective of creative technologists building companies at the frontiers of technology and design. It is our belief that the most interesting and transformative companies are built not by a ‘genius founder’ but in community with a network of individuals working in concert to pursue a central vision. We apply this perspective to how we inquire and learn.

Baukunst is committed to investigating, exploring, and improvising within a group setting in order to fuel one another’s ideas and elevate the quality of our discoveries.
