Abstract

 In the early stages of projects, architects always face a huge amount of data
needed for the design. Currently, computational facilities are available to assist the
designer to utilize data and information easily and efficiently to achieve this goal.
Artificial Intelligence, AI, is a new science that utilizes, interprets and manipulates
data to achieve goals and to accomplish tasks. Currently, AI has been spread among
different disciplines and encompasses a wide variety of sub-fields (Modelling,
anomaly detection, association and clustering). The present work aims at clarifying
the privilege of adopting AI in the architectural design, and to encourage architects
to start using it friendly. This is accomplished through a two-fold methodology:
highlighting the related literature and demonstrating a summary of selected
published case studies of applied and intended projects. It is expected that AI will
be applied and play a substantial role in architecture practice more widely in future
projects
