Artificial Intelligence in Architecture

Exploring the intersection of AI and architecture, Artificial Intelligence in Architecture challenges traditional notions of authorship and creativity in design.

In Artificial Intelligence in Architecture, the authors explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the field of architectural design. As AI applications gain traction, they are reshaping not only the practical aspects of design and construction but also challenging long-standing theories and methodologies within architecture. The book highlights a critical juncture where AI tools are becoming integral to morphological studies, offering architects innovative ways to approach their work. This shift signals a fundamental change in how architecture is conceived and executed.

A particularly intriguing aspect discussed in Artificial Intelligence in Architecture is the evolving nature of authorship and agency in design processes influenced by AI. With nonhuman entities generating significant portions of design content, the traditional notion of the sole genius is called into question. The contributors delve into the implications of this shift, raising essential questions about the role of human designers as they navigate a landscape increasingly dominated by synthetic creativity.

The book features contributions from various experts in the field, including Cesare Battelli, Phil Bernstein, and Mario Carpo, among others. Together, they engage in a rich dialogue about the intersection of humanity and technology in architectural design. As AI continues to permeate everyday life, Artificial Intelligence in Architecture provides valuable insights into the future of the discipline and the role of architects in an AI-driven world.
