Welcome to Architecture for Thought
We explore emergent technologies and philosophies that drive the discipline of architecture toward a more efficient, honest and earth-friendly practice. We focus on Digital Fabrication, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, and Material Ecology in relation to Design, 3D Printing and Architectural Theory. Our research aims to encourage new methods of practice by challenging current standards and typologies within design, architecture, and construction industries.
Architecture for Thought is hosted by Stephen Coorlas, a licensed architect and owner of Coorlas Architecture PLLC, a boutique Design & Architecture studio in Chicago, IL. Stephen attended the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) in Spain and was trained in advanced design and digital fabrication technologies. This training was essential to his prior professional career as Design Director of several international architecture firms.
