Between Sketches & Algorithms: A Learning Center To Help Architects Integrate AI Into Their Process
Between Sketches & Algorithms: A Learning Center To Help Architects Integrate AI Into Their Process
Introduction
Introduction
Artificial Intelligence is increasingly influencing architectural practice by supporting designers in research, concept development, visualization, and communication. This project explores the AI-assisted workflow used in the design of Between Sketches and Algorithms, a Learning Centre that promotes the integration of AI in architectural practice while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability and human-centered design.
Rather than focusing only on the final design outcome, this study examines how different AI tools are used throughout the design process. It highlights how AI supports architectural decision-making at various stages, while demonstrating the continued importance of human creativity, critical thinking, and design judgment in shaping meaningful architectural solutions.
