How to become an AI Architect?

Artificial intelligence is far from being a foreign and new concept. Architects have been exploring AI since the 1960s, delving into concepts such as scripting, parametric architecture, evolutionary algorithms, cellular automata, fractals, and L-systems. In architecture, an AI Architect is responsible for developing scripts, studying algorithms, ensuring that design outcomes meet project needs, and creating algorithms when necessary.

AI Education in Architecture: Revolutionizing Learning

As AI is becoming ubiquitous across various sectors, integrating it into educational systems is becoming more critical. In architectural education, AI is a game changer, creating opportunities and challenges for educators and institutions alike. This article will focus on the engagement of AI in architectural education, the skills that students ought to possess, and how AI can be embedded into the education system for the effective learning of the learners.

10 Revolutionary AI Tools Reshaping Architectural Design

In the ever-changing architectural environment, tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI) are gaining popularity. By making use of advanced AI tools, an architect can improve efficiency, increase design quality, and bring more creative and eco-friendly solutions. As AI further advances, it is expected to play a crucial role in architectural design. Popular AI tools such as Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and general ChatGPT plugins have already brought noticeable changes. In this article, we will discuss 10 emerging AI tools and their impact on architectural design, right from conceptualization to visualization.

7 Key Benefits of AI in Architecture

MIT’s Future You AI Enables Conversations with Your Future Self

Everything sounds possible today with artificial intelligence, even the most crazy ideas. I bet at one point or another we always wondered what it would be like to talk with ourselves outside of our head. Great news, it’s not a fantasy anymore and not even a wild thought anymore. Pioneering researchers at MIT and KASIKORN Labs have officially made this dream a reality.

Towards a New Intelligent Architecture: From Le Corbusier to the IoT Era

Le Corbusier’s vision of functional, mass-produced homes laid the foundation for modern architectural innovations. From early home automation systems to today’s smart technologies like IoT and renewable energy, architecture has evolved to address urbanization and sustainability. Smart city projects like NEOM and Sidewalk Toronto demonstrate how technology is reshaping urban living, creating more efficient and environmentally conscious environments for the future.

Introducing ChatGPT o1: Advanced Features and Applications

Over the past few years, the world of artificial intelligence (AI) has seen enormous advances, and Open AI’s latest, ChatGPT o1, is marked as one of the turning points in this process. With better reasoning, innovative processing and engagement features, ChatGPT o1 is bound to be the best-ever AI interaction service. The o1 version is claimed to be the most advanced Chatbot model of Chat GPT available and comes with several updates and modifications that make it possible to interact with machine systems in a fundamentally different manner.

Urban Resilience: How 8 Cities Are Addressing Global Challenges

With only six years left to realize the UN SDG agenda, as seasons dance to an unpredictable tune, water scarcity ever so persistent, and as forests shrink into oblivion, the unforgiving clock is ticking fast. Earth may not be the same in the future, and this thought is not just a thrilling Sci-Fi movie anymore. Cities, however, are exemplifying urban resilience and upholding hope in the face of pressing global challenges by utilizing innovative approaches and leveraging artificial intelligence technologies.
