Humanism Recoded

The 'Humanism Recoded' conference is a pivotal event taking place in Detroit, Michigan, hosted by the College of Architecture and Design at Lawrence Technological University. This conference aims to explore the intersection of digital technologies, robotics, computation, algorithms, material innovation, and advanced fabrication, focusing on how these elements can humanize our visions for the future. By reframing computation and making through the lenses of embodiment and culture, the conference opens a vital dialogue about the role of technology in shaping meaningful experiences.At 'Humanism Recoded', a diverse group of participants, including researchers, designers, educators, and industry leaders, will convene to investigate how computational methods can be harnessed as a humanistic force. The discussions will emphasize the importance of local specificity and global responsibility in design and research strategies. This gathering not only highlights the innovative spirit of Detroit—a city renowned for its history of production and reinvention—but also seeks to foster a collaborative environment where ideas can flourish, pushing the boundaries of how we think about technology in relation to humanity.
