Unveiling of 2A Magazine Special Edition

Expanding the Frontiers of Architecture, Art, Design & AI — The Experience of Creativity and Intelligent Design

April 2nd, 2026 — American University in Dubai

The new Special Edition of 2A Magazine is dedicated to exploring the expanding frontiers of Architecture, Art, Visual Art, Design, and Artificial Intelligence — a dynamic convergence that is reshaping creative expression, professional practice, and the future of the built and visual environment. As these disciplines increasingly intersect, new forms of authorship, aesthetics, research methods, and design intelligence are emerging, positioning art and visual culture at the core of technological and spatial innovation.

For this edition, Ahmad Zohadi, Founder & Editor in Chief of 2A Magazine, has personally invited leading academics, researchers, and professional practitioners to contribute their knowledge, projects, and critical perspectives. Their selected contributions form a curated body of work that reflects how artistic thinking and visual intelligence actively drive AI-enhanced design processes, spatial narratives, and cultural discourse.

As part of the official unveiling program on April 2nd, 2026, these contributors will be featured within a dedicated individual segment of the event program.

Each invited author and contributor will be formally introduced on stage at the American University in Dubai, where they will be recognized for their contribution to this special edition and will receive an Official Appreciation Certificate from 2A Magazine in acknowledgment of their scholarly and professional input.

This edition serves not only as a platform for multidisciplinary exchange, but also as a forward-looking reference for leadership in the integrated fields of architecture, art, design, and AI. It highlights how creative disciplines are evolving through intelligent systems while preserving critical, cultural, and artistic values.

A major strength of this special issue is its close collaboration with the American University in Dubai (AUD). This partnership enriches the publication and its related event program through the integration of academic research, experimental visual practices, and professional expertise. It supports a holistic and future-oriented perspective and further positions 2A Magazine as an international reference platform across architecture, visual art, design, and AI.

Through this collective effort, the issue aims to inspire critical reflection, celebrate artistic and technological innovation, and guide professionals toward new frontiers where artistic intelligence and artificial intelligence meaningfully converge.
