Architectural Design in The Light of AI Concepts and Applications

Abstract

In the early stages of projects, architects always face a huge amount of data needed for the design. Currently, computational facilities are available to assist the designer to utilize data and information easily and efficiently to achieve this goal. Artificial Intelligence, AI, is a new science that utilizes, interprets and manipulates data to achieve goals and to accomplish tasks. Currently, AI has been spread among different disciplines and encompasses a wide variety of sub-fields (Modelling, anomaly detection, association and clustering). The present work aims at clarifying the privilege of adopting AI in the architectural design, and to encourage architects to start using it friendly. This is accomplished through a two-fold methodology: highlighting the related literature and demonstrating a summary of selected published case studies of applied and intended projects. It is expected that AI will be applied and play a substantial role in architecture practice more widely in future projects
