Pietro Scarpa is a Senior Architect at UNStudio, where he leads design strategy across various project phases. As a key member of the UNS AI research team, he investigates how artificial intelligence can be integrated in the design processes while critically investigating the ethical and philosophical implications of this technology. Dedicated to bridging the gap between practice and academia, he teaches Master’s level courses at the Academies of Tilburg and Amsterdam, guiding students through both the 'how' and the 'why' of AI in design
Ivo Vrouwe is a professor of practice (lector) in professional development and educational design at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. With a background in architecture, design, and engineering, he researches transdisciplinary approaches to vocational education. His work in professional development explores value‑sensitive educational design and the responsible integration of generative AI. In his applied research, he focuses on participatory methodologies and systemic co‑design, with particular attention to learning communities operating within the quadruple helix.
Garry Miley is an architect and lecturer at South East Technological University (SETU), Ireland, where he teaches architectural design, history, and the application of AI in architectural education and practice. His research focuses on how emerging AI tools are reshaping design studio culture, architectural judgement, and pedagogy.
