The rapid proliferation of digital applications in society has brought about significant changes and reflections in the field of architecture. Architects need to have a comprehensive understanding of the current and potential disruptions that these technologies have and can bring to building typologies. This understanding is crucial in order to create critical architectures that challenge and subvert the underlying biases and injustices inherent in digital applications that we have witnessed in the last decade.

As a researcher and technologist, I have focused on studying the effects of digital applications on various institutional building typologies. I have examined how technologies impact spaces such as agoras, banks, cemeteries, libraries, and malls. To truly grasp the implications and possibilities of these technologies, I believe architects should adopt and adapt the methodologies of user experience and user interface designers. 

Drawing from the practices of user experience and user interface design, architects can employ tools like wireframe diagrams, user flows, empathy maps, persona cards, and atomic design systems. These tools allow architects to become more interdisciplinary, enabling them to understand how the digital applications that influence their design are developed. By integrating these methods into their practice, architects can imagine and shape a more just future, both in the digitally and physically.

However, my goal as a researcher and educator extends beyond nurturing only utopic solutions. I also aim to explore dystopian hypotheses and speculative scenarios akin to the concepts depicted in the TV series "Black Mirror." By considering the potential negative consequences and ethical dilemmas arising from the intersection of technology and architecture, we can engage in critical discussions and reflection on the ethics of these technologies and their impact on the built environment. 

In my approach to teaching architecture, I prioritize equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate and respond to the ever-emerging technological disruptions in the field. I aim to prepare aspiring architects to be innovative, flexible, and resilient in the face of rapid technological advancements. By fostering an understanding of digital applications and their ethical implications, I strive to empower students  to design buildings that not only accommodate but also question and challenge these disruptions.
