Artificial Intelligent Architecture: New Paradigms in Architectural Practice and Production

Artificial intelligence is having a significant impact on architecture, with the recent adoption of machine learning tools allowing designers to test their limits and assess their role as authors. This book explores the introduction of AI bots/apps into architecture and features a collection of works from 18 architects and designers interrogating current AI applications. It will incite dialogue about the potential of AI as an ideation device and extension of the architects authorship, and curation plays an important role in reconciling the injection of this new tool.

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in the discipline of architecture is undeniable and unavoidable. The recent widespread adoption of highly accessible machine learning tools, such as DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney, has enabled designers to push the boundaries of their creativity and redefine their role as authors in the design of the built environment. This comprehensive book explores the potential integration of artificial intelligence bots and apps into architecture and features a collection of thought-provoking works from 18 architects and designers who are critically examining the current applications of AI in the field.

Within each chapter, authors present their perspectives through a framework that combines theoretical insights with practical applications. Additionally, interviews with renowned practitioners provide valuable insights into the current curiosities driving the investigation into AI's potential as an ideation device and an extension of architects' authorship.

This book aims to ignite a meaningful dialogue about the potential of AI as a tool for architectural design and creativity. As AI technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, curation becomes an essential aspect of this work. Architectural design thinking will need to reconcile the integration of this new tool, and this book provides speculative insights into the current state of AI in its infancy.

By examining the works featured in this book and engaging with the perspectives presented by the authors, architects and designers can gain valuable insights into the future of AI in the field of architecture. The integration of AI can lead to new possibilities for design, innovation, and sustainability, and this book serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to stay at the forefront of this rapidly evolving field.
