Joshua Vermillion BIO:
An educator, designer, scholar, and maker, Joshua Vermillion is a tenured Associate Professor in the School of Architecture at UNLV. Forging a multi-year career in the exploration, development and execution of “Digital Craft,” his efforts in research, pedagogy and practice belong to three primary categories: digital information as medium (computational, parametric and algorithmic design, artificial intelligent design systems); digital information as material (digital fabrication tools and techniques); and digital information as method (situated technologies, responsive systems, and robotics).
Prior to his appointment at UNLV, Joshua taught design studios, seminars and lecture courses at Ball State University’s Department of Architecture. While there-through a grant from the Eli Lilly Foundation-he co-founded i-MADE, an applied research + immersive learning institute focused on bringing together students, faculty and design professionals with regional industry partners to work on mutually-beneficial projects utilizing design, computation and fabrication. During the spring of 2014, Joshua was the invited Taylor Seminar Lecturer at the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Environmental Design. Prior to joining academe full time, Joshua worked professionally at several architecture firms including NBBJ’s Columbus Office.
Joshua has spoken worldwide and has published and presented peer-reviewed research at ACADIA, SIGRADI, eCAADe, ACSA, NCBDS, and ARCC conferences, as well as the International Journal of Architecture Computing. He has co-edited two books-“Digital Design Exercises for Architecture Students” (Routledge, 2016) and “Bottom-Up Social Change Symposium Proceedings” (ACSA Press, 2020). As an educator, Joshua’s students have won design awards and competitions, and as a designer, his collaborative work has been featured in diverse media outlets including a variety of exhibitions, magazines, books, and blogs. Joshua has served as Graduate Coordinator and Assistant Director for the School of Architecture and in 2017 received the Fielden Medal for contributions of excellence to architectural education. He is set to receive the Virginia Design Medal in late summer 2023.
Since the very recent advent of AI diffusion models, Joshua has been very active in ‘interrogating’ these AI technologies in order to come to creative terms with them, generating thousands of visuals of extraordinary spatial ‘imaginaries’ along with a continuing series of time-based AI-scripted generative sketches and animations. This work recently led to collaborating on the first AI / photography hybrid fashion magazine cover and editorial for Harper’s BAZAAR Serbia.
In his free time, Joshua enjoys exploring, hiking, and photographing the American southwest.
