Antonio Furgiuele
Bio
Antonio Furgiuele is an Associate Professor of Architecture at Wentworth, where his teaching and research examine the relationships between architecture, information, emerging technologies, and design pedagogy.
His research investigates how technological systems transform architectural knowledge, representation, and practice. His ongoing project, Towards an Adversarial Architecture, explores the relationship between architecture and machine vision, examining how architectural objects and environments might challenge computational systems of recognition and classification. In 2026, he was awarded an Autodesk Research Fellowship to advance this work. Furgiuele is co-editor of the forthcoming ACSA publication AI Design Practices: Architecture After Artificial Intelligence. His writing has appeared in Harvard Design Magazine, e-flux, and the Journal of Architectural Education. He was a MacDowell Fellow and previously held academic appointments at MIT, the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, Pratt Institute, and the City College of New York. He holds degrees from Syracuse University and MIT.
