Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Architecture

The evolution of architectural design has been a fascinating journey, transitioning from hand drafting to the utilization of computer-aided design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Today, the horizon of architecture is expanding even further with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This presentation will explore the historical context of architectural design and how past innovations lay the groundwork for today’s advancements. We will also look at current technologies enhancing architectural design, like Matterport, before taking a deep dive into the future of AI in architecture. By examining tools for site planning, space planning, and facility monitoring, attendees will gain insight into how AI is revolutionizing the industry, particularly within Commercial Real Estate Design (CRE Design). This comprehensive overview aims not only to inform but also to inspire new ways of thinking about architecture and real estate development.
