Description

The presentation will introduce an innovative AI generative framework designed to showcase an equilibrium between AI algorithms' efficiency and human designers' critical thinking. We aim to guide AI-generated 3D designs toward achieving precise structural performance goals and capturing the qualitative features that define the architectural design process. Using this framework, we will present case studies showcasing the design of diverse architectural elements, including roofs, towers, and bridges. While AI is often likened to a problem-solving tool like a hammer or lever, this presentation will show it as an instrument akin to a pen, paper, or violin, which requires a masterful human to be used effectively, just as a violin needs a skilled musician to produce masterful music. This lecture urges a departure from traditional perspectives on AI, showcasing projects that integrate human imagination and AI's computational power.
