Artificial intelligence in architecture: exploring applications, benefits and challenges

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the current state of artificial intelligence (AI) in architecture, including its applications, benefits, challenges, case studies, and future trends. It explores the use of AI in parametric and generative design, building performance optimization, predictive maintenance, construction management and discusses the benefits of AI in terms of efficiency, sustainability and cost reduction. The challenges of implementing AI in architecture, such as data management and ethical concerns, are also highlighted. Through case studies, emerging trends, and potential impacts on the industry, the article concludes that architects must take an active role in shaping the development and exploration of AI in architecture.
