Architectural Intelligence in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

How does AI transform the theory and practice of architecture? An interdisciplinary discussion to contextualize and understand this transformation.

How will AI transform architecture? How can we conceptualize AI in the context of architecture? The contributors to this volume discuss different positions to understand the fundamental shift provoked by AI and contextualize this shift in forms of operational theories and performative uses of the medium. The volume includes essays by practicing architects who explain how AI is used in their work, by philosophers who reflect on the impact of AI on our way of thinking and conceptualizing the world, and by scientists who explain the foundations and the potential of AI for architecture. It provides the starting point to engaging with AI in architecture.
