History and Panorama

Artificial Intelligence's (AI) encounter with
Architecture is still in its infancy. However, current experiments and
applications already are a testimony to their gradual intersection.

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. The author then presents a collection of AI's applications
in Architecture. The book finally gives the stage to contributors
working at the forefront of this revolution. From Harvard to Foster
& Partners, 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.

• Artificial intelligence as a planning tool for architects
• From urban planning to floor plans
• Potential of a new way of working.
