Theory of architecture; Architectural structure & design; Artificial intelligence

The book provides an opportunity to survey the emerging field of

Architecture and Artificial Intelligence, and to reflect on the

implications of a world increasingly entangled in questions of the

agency, culture and ethics of AI.

The main goal of Neural Architecture is to understand how to interrogate artificial intelligence - a technological tool - in the field of architectural design, traditionally a practice that combines humanities and visual arts. Matias del Campo, the author of Neural Architecture is currently exploring specific applications of artificial intelligence in contemporary architecture, focusing on their relationship to material and symbolic culture. AI has experienced an explosive growth in recent years in a range of fields including architecture but its implications for the humanistic values that distinguish architecture from technology have yet to be measured. This book explores the interdisciplinary project that brings the long tradition of humanistic inquiry in architecture together with cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence.

Reviews for Neural Architecture: Design and Artificial Intelligence

In Neural Architecture, Design and Artificial Intelligence, Matias Del Campo sets sail for an adventure into the unknown. But like the Viennese philosopher, planner and precursor of the Internet and Wikipedia, Otto Neurath, he's very much aware that, to quote the latter, We are like sailors who on the open sea must reconstruct their ship but are never able to start afresh from the bottom. In this way, by using the old beams and driftwood the ship can be shaped entirely anew, but only by gradual reconstruction. Today, Neurath's metaphorical old beams and driftwood are the datasets that feed machine learning. It's like a tradition on speed, leading to unexpected but fascinating results.
