Architectural Design in The Light of AI Concepts and Applications

Abstract

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