About this book
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already an integral element of architecture. The pace of AI’s deployment in our field, evermore bolstered by the speed of this technology's development by the tech industry, has surpassed in many ways what practitioners expected just a few years ago. Halfway between full scale adoption and hampered usage due to the obvious remaining limitations of this technology, AI’s presence in architecture stands today at a crossroad.
This new, updated and expanded edition of Artificial Intelligence and Architecture examines the current tipping point in the interraction between one of humanity's newest and one of our oldest technologies.It provides an introduction to the topic through the triple lenses of history, practice, and theory. The book begins with a chronology of the technological evolution of architecture. It then presents up-to-date examples of AI applications in architecture. Finally, it schowcases the contributors working at the forefront of this revolution. Their perspectives provide a panorama of the discourse surrounding AI in architecture.
- Fully revised and expanded edition of an earlier introduction to AI and architecture
- Topic viewed through triple lenses of history, practice, and theory
- This book unveils the promise and challenges of AI in architecture
Author / Editor information
Stanislas Chaillou is an architectural designer and Machine Learning engineer, based in Paris.
His practice, publications and exhibits tackle the back-and-forth between geometry, artificial intelligence and culture. Trained both as an architect and an applied-AI researcher at Harvard and EPFL, Stanislas' interests lie in the weaving of design and computation. Stanislas is today the co-founder of Rayon, a Paris-based startup building architectural software for practitioners.
Among other things, Stanislas has taught "Generative AI" at IAAC (Barcelona, 2020), curated the exhibit Artificial Intelligence and Architecture at the Arsenal Pavilion (Paris, 2021), and published multiple publications on the same topic, notably Artificial Intelligence and Architecture (Birkhäuser 2022) and L'intelligence artificielle au service de l'architecture (Moniteur 2020).
