Abstract :

The process of architectural thinking, traditions, methods, and the vast body of architectural knowledge, similar to other artistic fields, currently stands at a critical juncture in its history. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in architecture over the past seventy years signifies a paradigm shift, resulting in significant transformations within the field. Despite addressing factors that have hindered the acceleration of such remarkable change, the present study evaluates the progression and interaction of architectural developments with AI. One approach to investigating AI's impact on the world of architecture involves exploring the cultural, technical, and historical realms. The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate the adaptation of new AI-related findings within architecture while considering their historical developments from 1920 to 2023. The study employed a qualitative method, conducting a historical research based on a comparative analysis of architectural and AI achievements in ten-year periods. The findings suggest that the relationship between architecture and technology has grown substantially in parallel with the evolution of AI. The latest advancements in AI have not only influenced the design process but have also significantly affected the broader field of practice and thought. This adaptation can be categorized into four periods: architecture aided by standardization, architecture utilizing computers, architecture with the assistance of parameters, and architecture through the application of AI.
