The aim of this format was, with the help of citizen-participants, to train an algorithm and teach it to identify architectural styles from an image.

In addition, these events allow the organisers to question the participants whether they prefer certain architectural trends and the look of certain geometric principles over others. This event also allows participants to appreciate the beauty of mathematics, and how maths is used in architecture.

This project requires a long-term collaboration and a multidisciplinary team of experts, including people who are knowledgeable in Mathematics, Art, Artificial Intelligence, Citizen Science and Social Communication of Science.
