I had a blast giving a guest lecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design back in October, invited by Jose Luis Garcia del Castillo. (Watch on YouTube.)


In this guest lecture, Nono Martínez Alonso discusses his work on developing intuitive interfaces for creative communities, and how the collaboration between human and artificial intelligences can enhance the design process like, for example, with suggestive drawing. Recorded on 2019.10.30.


Slides of Intuitive Interfaces talk by Nono Martínez Alonso


Intuitive is an overused term but it simply means that with the average prior knowledge you have you can, more or less, guess the effects of certain actions. In that case, you don't need a lot of trial and error to figure out the logic of the system. […] I don't think it's a deliberate process, but the trivial thing to say is that "People with similar experience have similar ways of responding to the world and similar ways of interacting with the world." —Panagiotis Michalatos

This year, the ACADIA conference is taking place at UNAM's Facultad de Arquitectura, Mexico City. As part of the Talk to a Wall workshop, Cristobal Valenzuela (@c_valenzuelab) talked about his work on RunwayML, ml5js, and a lot of what's going on at the moment on the field of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning.

Along his definition of artificial intelligence, "[The] simulation of intelligent behavior in computers," he shared the following quotes of some of the most relevant researchers of artificial intelligence over the last years.

Models for Thinking, Perception, Action.

—Patrick H. Winston, MIT

Many things can be AI, including simple programming. AI is the automation of thought.

—François Chollet, researcher and author of Keras

A field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.

—Arthur Samuel, MIT. Samuel Checkers, 1957

If you're interested in artificial intelligence and machine learning, you should definitely follow @c_valenzuelab, @ml5js, and @runwayml.

Autodesk Talk Links

Here is a list of links related to my talk at Autodesk of Aug 1, 2017. The following projects are my own work.

  • Suggestive Drawing Among Human and Artificial Intelligences. You can read the interactive publication, download a PDF, or read the post.)
  • Forces: A Simple Introduction to Structural Behavior. (Watch the video.)
  • Anatomy of a Joint (in collaboration with Amira Abdel-Rahman). Contrary to how traditional joints have commonly been used for the construction of structural surfaces and spatial structures, this project’s goal was the research of a system to manufacture a set of standardized joints, with the use of multi- material 3d-printing, casting, and other fabrication methods.
