Artificial intelligence and AECD project: mapping the application of AI into a structural framework for designs

Resumo

Research into digital design assistance and artificial intelligence (AI) is not new. Advances stemming from them have strongly marked our way of developing projects, reaching the potential for disruptive and discontinuous creations, far beyond what we know in the world. AIs have plenty of room to grow, and within decades intelligent machines could possibly surpass human intelligence. But first there will be a significant disruption in the way we behave, practice, and learn. We need to understand how to deal with this advance. This study is interested in expanding and diversifying the use of AI in the design practice of Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Design, proposing an introductory mapping (basic framework) of which AI-based systems, services, and artifacts actually assist, affect, and are available for use by designers, along with what changes in design practice with regard to conceptualization, interpretation, functionality, and performance, the natural requirements of AECDD projects.
