SmartScape Design Lab participated in academic seminar with faculty and students from Harbin Institute of Technology during their visit to the National University of Singapore. The seminar provided a platform for academic exchange on climate-responsive public space design, computational urban science, AI-assisted spatial perception, and related approaches to urban and landscape research.

Dr. Jinda Qi, Principal Investigator of SmartScape Design Lab, participated in the Universitas 21 (U21) Early Career Researcher Workshop 2025, held at the University of Nottingham, UK. The workshop brought together early career researchers from U21 member universities across disciplines for cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange.

SmartScape Design Lab presented research at the IFLA World Congress 2025 in Nantes, France. Under the congress theme “Guiding Landscapes,” Dr. Jinda Qi, Principal Investigator of SmartScape Design Lab, shared the study “Development and Validation of 3D Spatial Metrics Using Point Clouds for Landscape Visual Quality Assessment.”

SmartScape Design Lab joined the NUS x UQ Joint Symposium on Climate Resilience for Healthy Urbanism, an academic exchange jointly organized by the NUS Department of Architecture and the University of Queensland School of Architecture, Design and Planning. The symposium brought together researchers, staff, and PhD students from both institutions to discuss climate resilience, healthy urbanism, tropical design, and digital approaches to urban research.
