Abstract

The current development of artificial intelligence (AI) may encourage the digital architect emergence. It is an artificial-intelligence-powered software that approaches the architectural design process from upstream to downstream in an integrated and comprehensive manner and works autonomously. This paper reviews research in the field of AI to discuss the development of the concept of the digital architect. The result explained the presence of digital architect software as a necessity to bring more efficient and holistic architectural design. Furthermore, we concluded that the final development of the digital architect might be only a matter of time, considering the advancements of intelligent robot technology.
