Experience the convergence of architecture and imagination at a captivating and boundary-pushing exhibition co-hosted by Technē Architecture + Interior Design with renowned photographer and AI artist Tom Blachford.

This event unfolds in two parts: an exhibition and a conversation. Delving into the intersection of traditional and digital practices, the event takes Technē projects and reimagines their narratives through generative AI programs like Mid Journey. Witness a fusion of physical and digital realms, and explore the emotive potential of spaces through tactile materials, samples and 2D renderings. The conversation between Tom and Technē examines the process of creating the reimagine AI artworks, and unravels our relationship with space, architecture and art. At the end of the conversation, the pair will also take audiences through a mini-workshop of Mid Journey.

Join Technē Architecture + Interior Design and Tom Blachford for a playful evening where they test the boundaries of interpreting design, and the enduring importance for a genuine understanding of the human experience in the creative journey.
