Artificial Intelligence in Architecture and Built Environment Development 2024: A Critical Review and Outlook, 10th part: (4) Prospects
So far, slowly, AI has been showing helpful in architectural practice regarding imagery and parametric analyses - and failing when it comes to spatial creativity. However, what else is at the heart of architecture but physical spaces? Previous sections of the paper strived to lay a base to elaborate interconnectedness of spatiality (physical, three- or more-dimensional, when time and other-than-sight senses are included) that the Introduction features tentatively in terms of first, architectural space as such and its embeddedness in public space, second, the computer technology of virtual and extended reality that provides an unprecedented opportunity to tackle the space instantly (not only through its representations as has been the rule so far), and third, the recently disclosed essential spatiality of thinking (and of "intelligent computing" thus). Now it is time to zoom in on the third area.
