About
Professor Alisa Andrasek is a design researcher and innovator exploring how artificial intelligence and computation can expand the creative and systemic capacities of design. Her research develops what she terms agentic design cognition—a framework where human and machine intelligence co-author adaptive architectures, cities, and infrastructures through multimodal, data-rich, and multi-objective design processes.
As founder and director of AIARCH, she investigates how digital and material systems can converge into high-resolution fabrics of design that are context-sensitive, regenerative, and aesthetically advanced. Her work also extends into AI in education, pioneering new methodologies that position AI not only as a tool, but as a medium for reasoning, creativity, and co-evolution in teaching and learning.
Previously Director of B-Pro AD and the Wonderlab research group at UCL Bartlett, she has also taught at Columbia University, the Architectural Association, and the European Graduate School. Her work has been widely published and exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale, Centre Pompidou, and ZKM Karlsruhe.

Teaching interests
Alisa Andrasek supervises and teaches across computational design, AI-driven creative processes, and systemic innovation in the built environment. Her teaching integrates multimodal and generative AI, robotic and digital fabrication, and data-rich design workflows connecting material, ecological, and cultural intelligence.
She welcomes supervision in areas such as agentic design cognition, AI-enabled design education, computational and prefabricated construction systems (including advanced timber), and complexity science in architecture and urbanism.
Her pedagogical approach positions AI and generative design as a medium of reasoning and creative synthesis, expanding students’ capacity for discovery, innovation, and aesthetic refinement in design.
