DESIGNING WITH DIVERSE INTELLIGENCE
\nIn an era defined by ecological crisis and algorithmic ubiquity, the entanglement of
\nnatural and synthetic systems has become a defining imperative for creative
\npractice. This presentation proposes a transdisciplinary research agenda that
\noperationalizes the intersection of Art, Design, Architecture, and Science. Drawing on
\nmy practice-based PhD research, I introduce regeneration as a core conceptual
\nframework, defined as the dynamic negotiation of coexistence among biological,
\nartificial, and human intelligences. I will demonstrate how this framework translates
\ninto a concrete studio-lab model where speculative artistic practice and applied
\nprototyping mutually reinforce one another. By utilizing generative worlding strategies
\nto investigate adaptive behaviors and relational ecosystems, this program fosters
\ncollaborations that respond to national green and digital transformation priorities. The
\npresentation outlines a rigorous methodology for critical making, generating
\ntransformative creative outputs and peer-reviewed knowledge that bridge artistic and
\nscientific inquiry to materialize hybrid modes of cohabitation and regenerative urban
\nfutures.<\/p>\n
