Humbi Song is a researcher and educator in architecture, creative technologies, and interaction.
She investigates the evolving relationships between human creativity and interactive technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, in the context of broader societal and technological influences on how designs are conceived, created, and experienced.
In her creative practice, she builds digital/physical installations, interactive public art, and responsive architecture, in which spatial works are electronically augmented to respond dynamically to human presence and the environment, serving as playful and poetic explorations of human behavior and social relationships within the built environment.
Song has taught undergraduate foundational architecture studios, and graduate-level courses on design technology topics, such as digital fabrication, physical computing, interaction, responsiveness, and AI.
She is an Assistant Professor & Emerging Architect Fellow at University of Toronto, and formerly taught as an Instructor in Architecture at Harvard GSD and a Visiting Associate Teaching Professor at Northeastern University.
