Adil Bokhari is a researcher, practitioner, and tutor focusing on the crossovers between computational vision, automata, and architectural rendering through the lens of cosmotechnics.

He completed PhD at the Chair for Digital Architectonics at ETH Zürich with Prof. Dr. Ludger Hovestadt and leads the architecture design studio of the chair: Studio Meteora alongside Miro Roman, and Jorge Orozco. He is the co-founder and co-organizer of Playing Models, an international platform that investigates the intersections of architecture, artificial intelligence, and storytelling through yearly symposia.
