A_rch_I_tecture - Artificial Intelligence in Architecture and Planning?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming architecture by autonomously conducting analyses, visualizations, and cost calculations, as well as creating texts, images, and floor plans. However, the creative expertise of architects remains essential. AI supports planners and architects in fostering innovative ideas but does not take over the detailed creation of executable construction plans. Although AI in architecture is still in its early stages, it already offers a variety of possibilities. The focus is on understanding AI as an additional tool that processes vast amounts of data, while true innovation remains a human endeavor. It is crucial to carefully examine and understand the impacts, opportunities, and challenges of AI in spatial planning.
