Architecting the Future of Creative Intelligence (CI)

Professor CJ Yeh | Professor Christie Shin

The role of the designer is being redefined. As advanced technologies transform the design process, designers are moving beyond executing production details to become visionaries who shape ideas, direct systems, and orchestrate collaboration between humans and AI agents.
This exhibition imagines a future where Creative Intelligence is measured not by what designers can produce with their own hands, but by what they can envision, direct, and bring to life. Freed from traditional production constraints, designers can focus on what matters most: asking better questions, solving bigger problems, and architecting meaningful solutions that were once beyond the reach of any individual.
The 2026 Creative Technology & Design (CT&D) Annual Exhibition features award-winning projects from advanced CT&D courses, including Dynamic Branding, AI-Assisted Design, Digital Product Design, and Kinetic Typography.
