A fully-updated new edition of the leading work on architecture, design, and artificial intelligence, now in full colour.
AI has been unleashed. Nothing is going to be the same again.
Updated to cover all the latest developments, Architecture in the Age of Artificial Intelligence introduces AI for designers and explores its seismic impact on the future of architecture and design. From ChatGPT and smart assistants to groundbreaking diffusion models for video and 3D modelling, this updated new edition investigates the profound effects of AI technologies on architectural practice. It explores how AI transforms every part of the process—from the inspiration and brief, to regulations and copyright, to performance-driven design— and looks beyond discussions of software and functionality to ask more fundamental questions too: How did AI evolve? How does it work? What does it tell us about creativity? And what does it mean for the very future of the profession itself?
Written by one of the world’s leading experts in the field, this book is a must-read for all architects wishing to stay at the forefront of the AI revolution.
