Joshua Vermillion is an award-winning designer, scholar, and educator who explores the use of machines to augment creativity, research, and teaching. He is a professor in the School of Architecture at UNLV, where he has co-edited two books and presented peer-reviewed creative research around the world.
His teaching and creative interests span artificial intelligence and machine learning, computational and algorithmic design, digital fabrication, and robotics. Since the emergence of latent diffusion models, Joshua has been actively experimenting with AI technologies to better understand and creatively engage with them—producing thousands of speculative spatial “imaginaries” as well as a continuing series of AI-scripted generative sketches and animations.
This work has led to high-profile collaborations, including the first AI/photography hybrid fashion magazine cover and editorial for Harper’s BAZAAR. He has also partnered with companies and organizations such as Samsung, Microsoft, Sony Music, Jaguar Land Rover, ELLE Décor, and Architectural Digest, contributing creative work, research, and thought leadership.
In his free time, Joshua enjoys exploring, hiking, and photographing the American southwest with his family.
