Architectural structure & design; Artificial intelligence

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are currently making a dynamic appearance in the architectural realm. Social media are being bombarded by word-to-image/image-to-image/word-to-3D/image-to-3D illustrations of fictive buildings generated by 2D or 3D AI algorithms. However, these 'designs', while visually appealing, have initiated a debate about their substance and the impact they have on conventional design methods. This book investigates the integration of generative AI-assisted methods into architectural design education and practice, its influence on design aesthetics, and its potential to enhance creativity and critical thinking in the architectural community.

The book highlights the advantages and challenges of the utilisation of AI image generator tools in the architectural design process. It includes 10-12 hands-on case studies on how AI can contribute to a creative design process as well as handbook instructions on how to utilise AI in order to achieve the required results.
