Artificial Intelligence and Architecture: From Research to Practice. 2nd Edition, Updated and Expanded - Paperback

by Stanislas Chaillou (Author)

Artificial Intelligence's (AI) has
today made its way into 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 edition of Artificial Intelligence & Architecture
offers to examine this typing point.This book provides an introduction
to the topic through the triple lens of history, application, and
theory. A chronology of Architecture's technological evolution first
puts AI back in the context of the discipline. It then presents an
up-to-date collection of AI's applications in Architecture. The book
finally gives the stage to contributors working at the forefront of this
revolution. Their perspectives provide a panorama of the discourse
surrounding AI's presence in the field. Halfway between research and
practice, this book offers to unveil the promise and challenges AI holds
for Architecture.

• Fully revised 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 Biography

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 (Birkhauser 2022) and L'intelligence artificielle au service de l'architecture (Moniteur, 2020).
