We are collecting insights, facts, and thoughts from the design community to create an
Atlas of Generative AI in Design
What is it about?
How is Generative AI Changing the Design Discipline?
We want to explore how Generative AI is being used at this moment in time within the Design Community*. Please take the Survey to tell us how you work with AI in your design practice, research, or teaching (or not).
*We define the term „design“ very broadly, encompassing many disciplines. Please feel invited to participate even if you have a different background.
This research project is conducted by Katja Thoring and Annette Diefenthaler from Technical University of Munich.
Prof. Dr. Katja Thoring
Katja Thoring is Chair of Integrated Product Design at TUM, since 2022. Prior to her appointment at TUM, she was Professor for Integrated Design at Anhalt University in Dessau – the city of the historic Bauhaus. In the early days of the HPI D-School in Potsdam, she was part of the teaching team as a Visiting Professor for more than five years. Katja Thoring teaches and researches at the interface of product, space, architecture, and technology. Her research focuses on how the spatial work environment can foster creativity and design processes on functional, creative, emotional, social, epistemic, and cognitive levels. She also develops innovative, technology-based research methods.
Prof. Annette Diefenthaler
Designer and professor Annette Diefenthaler is focused on the question, what can design accomplish to improve our society. Her teaching and research at the Technical University of Munich aims to promote a human- and society-centered approach to design that results in solutions that are not only technically feasible and marketable, but also sustainable, just, and valuable. As Executive Director of the newly founded Munich Design Institute, she is entrusted with the task of establishing an integrative research center that anchors Human and Humanity Centered Design in the context of the TUM.
ICED Marketplace
During the ICED Conference in Bordeaux in July 2023, we were able to connect with interested members from the design community. We will expand this network further in the next months.

Stay tuned. The Atlas will be published shortly.
