AI, urbanism, material use, high-tech architecture, and more

Hi everyone!

Today is February 4 and we hope you are having a great day!

So, this week we have many contents about software, AI, urbanism, material use, high-tech architecture, and new projects around the world.

Let's start with academic plans! With the year 2023, graduate applications from many universities have started. In this process, where the procedure of each university is different and you are lost among many options, we have compiled the best university programs to study Architecture and Built environment in the world according to the 2022 QS World University Rankings for you!

And we have a few updates about AI, OpenAI released an AI Text Classifier that may be able to help you determine whether the text you’re reading was written by AI or by a human.

London’s Liverpool Street station redevelopment by Herzog & de Meuron is faced with huge criticism and dissatisfaction by the people. If you’re a part of this campaign, tell us what you think about it.

PA's Digital Member workshops started last week! If you miss Rhino for Beginners 1.0, you can access recordings via your account and also, Rhino for Beginners 2.0 will take place in February.

In addition, we have a few workshops about?Blender, Grasshopper 3D, Rhino, AI, and Maya; don't forget to check PAACADEMY.
