UF SHARE Lab

UF SHARE Lab, located at 1802 McCarty Drive in Gainesville, Florida, is a research laboratory within the University of Florida's School of Architecture. Specializing in Human-Centered AI in design practices, the lab focuses on creating AI applications that combine artificial and human intelligence to enhance physical and intellectual capabilities. By integrating AI into the design process, the lab aims to produce unique and innovative projects that showcase the collaboration between technology and human creativity.

The interdisciplinary research conducted at SHARE Lab covers a wide range of topics including landscape architecture, agriculture, urban studies, structural design, public health, and disaster management. With a focus on using AI algorithms to address complex problems and enhance design strategies, the lab aims to explore how architects can incorporate these technologies into their workflow while maintaining their role as creative individuals.

The research at SHARE Lab is guided by two main objectives: using AI as a tool to empower creativity and leveraging AI for social good. By viewing AI as both a practical tool and an instrument for creativity, the lab seeks to explore the potential of AI in design practices while considering its impact on society as a whole.

Current projects at SHARE Lab include the development of a Machine Learning Modelling Tool for predicting incident HIV using public health data, as well as a comparative analysis of traditional and machine learning approaches. Through their innovative research and collaborative approach, SHARE Lab is at the forefront of exploring the intersection of AI and human intelligence in design practices.
