DESTECTIC is a laboratory that merges classical and contemporary design technology and tactics, encompassing artificial intelligence (AI), generative systems, and form-focused algorithms. The mission extends beyond comprehension, aiming to develop advanced technologies for deeper insights into city spaces and the reinterpretation of architectural design. In this line, DESTECTIC focused on two streams: research and education.
Research
DESTECTIC conducts research aimed at uncovering new insights in urban planning and architecture by associating spatial and formal aspects with various social data. This research is being expanded and transformed into both academic frameworks and practical techniques. This research redefines problems from a design and technological perspective, analyzing them to formulate design tactics and develop new design tools to execute these tactics. In this process, DESTECTIC actively engages in exchange and collaboration with government, academia, and industry stakeholders.

Education
DESTECTIC is dedicated to computational design education, bridging the past, present, and future of design technology. The core of DESTECTIC's education offerings resides within the master's and doctoral degree programs at the School of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape. DESTECTIC develops curriculums and courses with a focus on nurturing pioneers who lead the way in the ever-evolving interdisciplinary domain of design with technology. Additionally, through various publications, lectures, and talks, DESTECTIC aims to promote the value of design technology to a wider audience.
