Artificial Intelligence and Architecture: From Research to Practice maps the field at its current tipping point — neither triumphalist nor dismissive — tracing AI's integration into architectural practice through history, live applications, and the perspectives of practitioners working at the discipline's edge.
About This Book
This updated and expanded edition arrives at a moment when AI's presence in architecture has moved faster than the profession anticipated. Stanislas Chaillou structures the book across three frameworks: a chronology of technology's evolution within architectural culture, a survey of current AI applications in practice, and a panorama of contributors shaping the discourse today. The result is neither a manual nor a manifesto — it is a considered map of where computational design and machine learning now intersect with one of humanity's oldest practices. Essential reading for architects, researchers, and students navigating the growing complexity of AI tools in design.
