Summary

Architect AI unites Romanian and Hungarian architects to explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can revolutionise architecture and urban design, following the New European Bauhaus principles of beauty, sustainability, and inclusion.

The project opens new creative pathways for architects, students, and local communities to experiment with AI tools, discover smarter and greener design solutions, and learn how technology can enhance the aesthetics and sustainability of cities across borders.

By combining innovation with culture, Architect AI transforms architecture into a shared creative language. Using AI-driven 3D animations and video mapping, the project highlights the architectural beauty of selected buildings in Oradea and Debrecen, turning them into living examples of how technology can bring heritage to life.

Through a mix of technical conferences, interactive workshops, and public art projections, the project raises awareness of AI’s potential in architecture, while also strengthening cross-border cooperation and long-term partnerships between Romanian and Hungarian professionals.
