Digital Workshops[edit]
In 2020 due to the covid19 pandemic moved DigitalFUTURES to an online format which offered the opportunity to expand their workshop options to include 80 online workshops. Workshops were taught by instructors virtually on Zoom platform and some workshops were live streamed on Youtube[3].

DigitalFUTURES Talks Series[edit]
During the 2020 DigitalFUTURES workshop event a series of online livestreamed talks by leading architects such as Thom Mayne, Wolf Prix, Peter Eisenman, Yansong Ma, Jenny Sabin, Patrik Schumacher, Achim Menges and others took place[5]. During the event there were talks at 3 times throughout the day so that people could watch live events in various time zones around the world. The talks addressed topics such as the future of education, digital technologies, and Artificial Intelligence[6].
As a continuation of the Talks series started during the 2020 summer workshop event, in the fall of 2020 DigtialFUTURES continued to develop a series of YouTube video talks and panels between architects[7]. The talks have covered topics from neuro-science, robotic fabrication, Artificial Intelligence, and other themes.
CDRF Confrence[edit]
Started in 2019 the DigitalFUTURES CDRF (Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication) is an academic conference. Held each summer during the before the DigitalFUTURES workshops. The first conference in 2019 was held physically at Tongji University.
| Year | Date | Theme |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 7-8 July | Architectural Intelligence[8] |
| 2020 | 5-6 July | Machine Intelligence[9] |
| 2021 | 3-4 July | Material Intelligence[10] |
| 2022 | 25-26 June | Hybrid Intelligence |
PhD Program[edit]
In 2018 DigitalFUTURES launched the DigitalFUTURES International PhD program at Tongji University. The program consists of PhD advisors Neil Leach, Philip F. Yuan and Patrik Schumacher[11].
Doctorial Consortium[edit]
As part of the 2021 DigitalFUTURES summer event Tongji University launched the first doctorial consortium. Consisting of a series of online lectures open to any student in architecture. These lectures included an opening lecture by Slavoj Žižek, as well as other lectures by leading figures such as Jenny Sabin, Patrik Schumacher, Philip Yuan.
The lectures were organized into 3 series. The Hitchikers Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Architecture + Philosophy, and Performance Based Digital Design Methodologies.
FIU Ddes Doctorial Consortium[edit]
In the fall of 2021 as continuation of the Doctorial Consortium model DigitalFUTURES launched a series of courses in collaboration with Florida International University. These courses were also livestreamed and are available on DigitalFUTURES YouTube channel[12]
DigitalFUTURES Tutorials[edit]
In the fall of 2021 to as a continuation of the education platform DigitalFUTURES launched Tutorial Sessions on their Youtube Channel. These are 2 hour long educational sessions with various invited instructors, introduce students to the newest programs and tools for computational architecture and design[13].
