Artificial Intelligence for the Built World
Building design has always sought solutions that are layered and intricate, extending beyond what any single person can fully envision. Addressing those challenges requires close collaboration within interdisciplinary teams. Now, with advancing technologies, we have the ability to generate, evaluate, and refine solutions at an unprecedented scale. Artificial intelligence offers a transformative path - unlocking new workflows, broadening possibilities, enhancing collaboration, integrating project-relevant data, and addressing multiple dimensions of design that traditional tools, whether a pencil or a computer mouse, could never achieve alone. AI will revolutionize the built environment. The choice is ours: will we use it as a simple tool, an aid, or a true collaborator?
