But what does this mean for the world of design? The first volume in a two-book series, Architecture in the Age of Artificial Intelligence introduces AI for designers and considers its positive potential for the future of architecture and design. Explaining what AI is and how it works, the book examines how different manifestations of AI will impact the architectural profession. Highlighting current case-studies as well as near-future applications, it shows how AI is already being used as a powerful design tool, and how AI-driven information systems will soon transform the future of buildings and cities. Far-sighted, provocative and challenging, yet rooted in careful research and cautious speculation, this book, written by architect and theorist Neil Leach, is a must-read for all architects and designers - including students of architecture and all design professionals interested in keeping their practice at the cutting edge of technology"-- Introduction -- Al architecture -- Beyond technophobia -- The prosthetic imagination -- Cyborg culture -- Extended intelligence -- An introduction to al -- Intended audience -- What is Al? -- The different forms of Al -- Training techniques -- Al tribes -- Neutral networks -- Backpropagation -- Convolutional neutral network -- DeepDream -- Generative adversarial networks -- From 2d to 3d -- ArchiGAN -- Beyond representation -- The history of Al -- Alan turning -- The birth of Al -- Al winters -- Deep blue -- Jeopardy! -- AlphaGo -- Sputnik moment -- Al and visibility -- Al, art and creativity -- A brief history of Al art -- Who needs Gauguin? -- But who is the author? -- Rethinking creativity -- In the mirror of Al -- Al, art and neuroscience -- Dreaming machines -- Dreaming buildings -- Machine hallucinations Architecturalizations -- Can machines dream? -- Al and architecture -- Coop Himmelb(l)au -- Morphosis -- Zaha Hadid architects -- Al fabrication -- The future of architectural office -- Superusers -- Autodesk v the superuser -- Developer Al -- Space marker Al -- XKool technology -- Spacemarker V XKool -- Redesigning design -- Al and the city of the future -- ‘iPhone City’ -- The information architect -- The informational City -- Ambient intelligence -- The self-regulating City -- ‘City Brain’ -- Internet-City-Brain -- The future of Al -- Kurzweil’s predictions -- The ‘singularity’ -- AGI and beyond -- Predictions errors -- The future of intelligence -- Architectural intelligence -- AI and the future of architecture -- Neil Leach.
