Hi. My name is Jose Sanchez.

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,360
I'm an associate professor of

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,160
architecture here at the
University of Michigan.

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,300
My professional journey combines

5
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:16,920
design technology
using programming,

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,940
digital publication
to think about

7
00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:21,100
design and architecture
in multiple ways.

8
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:22,520
I'm the director of a design

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,000
studio called the
Plethora Project,

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,420
which is a research
initiative that uses

11
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:29,460
video games and
different forms of

12
00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:31,060
software to engage in

13
00:00:31,060 --> 00:00:32,860
ecological and
architectural thinking.

14
00:00:32,860 --> 00:00:34,200
I've developed
video games such as

15
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,680
Block' hood and Common'
hood that really

16
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,280
want to be public
facing projects.

17
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,560
A highlight of my work that

18
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:43,940
is connected to
generative design,

19
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:45,480
which is something that
we will be learning here,

20
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:47,160
but also the fabrication

21
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,400
has been the co-development
of the Bloom Project,

22
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,980
which was an interactive
installation

23
00:00:50,980 --> 00:00:53,380
developed for the London
Olympic games in 2012.

24
00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:56,820
That project explores how
generative design really

25
00:00:56,820 --> 00:01:02,625
can open up the possibilities
of design and computing.

26
00:01:02,625 --> 00:01:05,460
My academic contributions
also include the book,

27
00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:06,875
the Architecture
for the Commons,

28
00:01:06,875 --> 00:01:09,255
Participatory Systems in
the Age of Platforms,

29
00:01:09,255 --> 00:01:12,260
where I delve deeper into
how the design of parts

30
00:01:12,260 --> 00:01:15,880
and systems enable
participatory design practices.

31
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,540
I'm very excited to
share with you some of

32
00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:21,145
my experience in
this certificate.

33
00:01:21,145 --> 00:01:25,160
I have a personal passion
for connecting technology

34
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,320
with design and really thinking

35
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,760
creatively at the moment

36
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,160
where we're actually
writing code.

37
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,340
I don't think we're going to
just learn how to code here.

38
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:34,480
We're actually going to
start thinking about

39
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,065
how do we creatively
design through code.

40
00:01:38,065 --> 00:01:40,970
So I can't wait to
see you in class.
