Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already an integral element of 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 and expanded edition of Artificial Intelligence and Architecture examines the current tipping point in the interaction between one of humanity''s newest and one of our oldest technologies.It provides an introduction to the topic through the triple lenses of history, practice, and theory. The book begins with a chronology of the technological evolution of architecture. It then presents up-to-date examples of AI applications in architecture. Finally, it schowcases the contributors working at the forefront of this revolution. Their perspectives provide a panorama of the discourse surrounding AI in architecture.
