This workshop offered at the Design Modeling Symposium in Berlin presents tools and techniques for the application of Machine Learning (ML) to Generative Architectural Design (GAD).

The workshop, offered at the Design Modeling Symposium and hosted by the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen, examines the use of real time behavioral data for urban planning and design. Technologies of GPS and GIS allow now to map flows of goods and to create maps on the large-scale of countries, regions and cities. Participants will explore inter scalar data mapping combining open data with mobile personal tracking technologies.

The nature of design tools is related to the social relationships they serve. This paper speculates on the emergence of a new professional configuration - the synthesis of architect and engineer - and on the nature of new computational tools and methods that will be required to support such a reconfiguration.
