“I don’t think AI knows what humans like” says Daniel Escobar

August 22, 2023 Lizzie Crook 0

Over-reliance on AI tools for architecture like floor-plan generators could result in boring buildings, Online Lab of Architecture co-founder Daniel Escobar tells Dezeen in this interview. While the most popular use of artificial intelligence (AI) in architecture and design today is for creating visualisations with text-to-image models such as Midjourney, building configurators such as LookX

AI design could “bring back the beauty and aesthetics of the classical era” says Tim Fu

August 16, 2023 Cajsa Carlson 0

Artificial intelligence could give rise to a “neoclassical futurist” architecture style and will become “an everyday tool of necessity”, says designer Tim Fu in this interview for our AItopia series. Architectural designer Fu, who works extensively in artificial intelligence (AI), showed his project The AI Stone Carver – a collaboration with stone mason Till Apfel

Architecture bodies responding to “real risks” of AI

August 15, 2023 Nat Barker 0

Architecture bodies including RIBA and AIA are putting together guidance and policy requests to governments to help the profession deal with the potential risks and benefits of AI. Artificial-intelligence (AI) technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, with the emergence of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Midjourney raising serious questions for the creative

Orbital Materials combines ChatGPT with physics to invent “transformational materials”

August 14, 2023 Rima Sabina Aouf 0

The first materials designed by AI could be less than 18 months away, according to Orbital Materials CEO Jonathan Godwin, who aims to harness the technology to create materials to help with carbon capture. Formerly an engineer at Google’s AI research laboratory DeepMind, Godwin founded Orbital Materials in 2022 with a vision to bring to market

Tim Fu uses “Midjourney for architecture” tool to transform crumpled paper into starchitect building designs

June 29, 2023 Cajsa Carlson 0

Designer Tim Fu has used LookX, an artificial intelligence tool trained on architecture, to turn squashed paper into building models that evoke designs by architects Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid. The LookX platform, which just launched, is an artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) tool that was designed especially for “architecture lovers”. It is trained on an

“AI tools are rapidly changing how we imagine the urban environment”

Using AI to help design cities of the future risks creating a regressive world like The Jetsons unless we recognise the technology’s susceptibility to stigma and bias, write MIT scientist Fábio Duarte and Washington Fajardo. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are rapidly changing how we investigate and imagine the world and the urban environment. They can
