Artificial Intelligence's (AI) has
today made its way into Architecture. The pace of AI's deployment in our
field, evermore bolstered by the speed of this technology's development
by the tech industry, has surpassed in many ways what practitioners
expected just a few years ago. Halfway between full scale adoption and
hampered usage due to the obvious remaining limitations of this
technology, AI's presence in Architecture stands today at a crossroad.
This
new, updated edition of Artificial Intelligence & Architecture
offers to examine this typing point.This book provides an introduction
to the topic through the triple lens of history, application, and
theory. A chronology of Architecture's technological evolution first
puts AI back in the context of the discipline. It then presents an
up-to-date collection of AI's applications in Architecture. The book
finally gives the stage to contributors working at the forefront of this
revolution. Their perspectives provide a panorama of the discourse
surrounding AI's presence in the field. Halfway between research and
practice, this book offers to unveil the promise and challenges AI holds
for Architecture.
