Introduction
AI-HI Dialogue for
Dr. Yasser Mahgoub
Galala University

Will architects really lose
their jobs to AI?
In 2019, New York-based designer Sebastian Errazuriz caused a stir with his claim that
90 per cent of architects could lose their jobs to machines.
The researchers estimated that 37 per cent of architecture and engineering work
tasks "could be automated by AI", placing it among the most-exposed industries.

AI - Definitions
Artificial:
• made or produced by human
beings rather than occurring
naturally, especially as a copy of
something natural.

AI - Definitions
Intelligence:
• the ability to acquire and apply
knowledge and skills
• the ability to learn or understand
to deal with new or trying
situations
• the ability to apply knowledge to
manipulate one's environment or
to think abstractly as measured by
objective criteria

● Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human
intelligence in computers and other machines.
● It encompasses the development of algorithms and systems
that enable machines to perform tasks that typically require
human intelligence.
● These tasks include problem-solving, decision-making,
understanding natural language, recognizing patterns,
learning from experience, and adapting to new situations.
● AI systems are designed to mimic cognitive functions such as
perception, reasoning, problem-solving, and learning.
AI - Definitions

AI Philosophy - Questions
• Can a machine act intelligently?
• Can it solve any problem that a person
would solve by thinking?
• Are human intelligence and machine
intelligence the same?
• Is the human brain essentially a computer?
• Can a machine have a mind, mental
states, and consciousness in the same
sense that a human being can?
• Can it feel how things are?

AI Philosophy - Propositions
“If a machine behaves as intelligently as a human being,
then it is as intelligent as a human being.” Alan Turing -
Father of Artificial Intelligence 1950
"Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence
can be so precisely described that a machine can be made to
simulate it.“ John McCarthy - Dartmouth Summer Research
Project - Founding event of Artificial Intelligence 1956
"The appropriately programmed computer really is a mind,
in the sense that computers given the right programs can be
literally said to understand and have other cognitive states."
John Searle - The Chinese Room Argument 1980

"The mind can be viewed as a device operating on bits of
information according to formal rules.“ Hubert Dreyfus, 1979
"If an agent acts so as to maximize the expected value of a
performance measure based on past experience and
knowledge then it is intelligent." Stuart Russell and Peter
Norvig, 2003

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end
of the human race. It would take off on its own, and re-design
itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by
slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be
superseded.” Stephen Hawking, 2014
“The pace of progress in artificial intelligence is incredibly fast.
It is growing at a pace close to exponential. Elon Musk, 2018

"People always say, 'but isn't AI just another tool?' Right now it
looks like a tool, but the tool is getting really good, really fast – and
the purpose of this tool is to think for itself.“ Sebastian Errazuriz,
New York-based designer, 2019
"I have been around long enough to see multiple waves of
technological change in the industry and this argument happens
every single time. It happened during CAD, it happened during BIM,
and now it's happening with AI. We somehow always seem to
survive these things.“ Phillip Bernstein, associate dean and
professor adjunct at the Yale School of Architecture, 2023
"You can't run away from it. "If you don't evolve you get
replaced, it's nature." leading voice on AI design, Reem Mosleh
2023

AI-HI
Dialogue

• In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the realm
of architecture stands at the threshold of a groundbreaking
transformation.
• This presentation delves into the realm of architectural
innovation by showcasing the pioneering use of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) to shape and redefine the process of
architectural design.

• The use of AI in architectural
design has the potential to
revolutionize the way that
architecture is designed.
• It can help architects to be
more creative and efficient,
and to produce designs that
are more innovative and
sustainable.

Generating architectural designs
• AI can be used to generate architectural
designs based on a variety of factors,
such as the client's needs, the site
constraints, and the desired aesthetic.
• This can help architects to explore
different design options more quickly
and efficiently.
• Conceptual design can take place with
no pen and paper.
AI-generated designs

Augmenting reality
• AI can be used to augment reality,
allowing architects to visualize their
designs in the real world.
• This can be helpful for clients to
understand the proposed design and for
architects to identify potential problems
with the design.
Augmented Reality

Building Information Model (BIM)
• BIM helps AI architecture go beyond 3D
models, giving them geometry and
storing their own data. All of this
provides architects with updated
estimates of the project scope each time
a change is made.
BIM Model

Optimizing building performance
• AI can be used to optimize the
performance of buildings in terms of
energy efficiency, comfort, and
sustainability.
• For example, AI can be used to design
buildings that are more energy-efficient
by optimizing the building's shape,
orientation, and materials.
Building Performance

Smart City Design
• Smart designs are driven by real-time
data and feedback, and they act like
living organisms.
• Buildings, smartphones, cars, public
places and more could communicate
with each other to improve living
conditions and quality of life.
Smart City

Parametric Architecture
• Parametric architecture is a design
feature that relies on algorithmic
processes to create shapes different from
the traditional right angles and lines in
architecture designs.
Parametric Architecture

• Using AI to design disaster-resistant buildings:
• AI can be used to design buildings that are more resistant to natural
disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. For example, AI can
be used to identify potential weak points in a building's structure and to
design solutions to mitigate these risks.
• Using AI to create personalized spaces:
• AI can be used to create personalized spaces that are tailored to the
individual needs of the occupants. For example, AI can be used to design a
home that automatically adjusts the lighting, temperature, and noise levels
to the occupant's preferences.
• Using AI to improve construction efficiency:
• AI can be used to improve the efficiency of construction by automating
tasks, such as scheduling, logistics, and quality control. This can help to
reduce costs and shorten construction timelines.
• Using AI to create sustainable buildings:
• AI can be used to create sustainable buildings that are designed to minimize
their environmental impact. For example, AI can be used to optimize the
building's energy efficiency, water usage, and waste disposal.

Summarize text
A critical issue facing decision makers and conservation professionals is accommodating change to heritage places and adding new layers to the historic
urban environment in ways that recognize, interpret, and sustain their heritage values. Over the last decade, a vigorous debate has ensued regarding the
appropriateness of contemporary architectural insertions into historic urban areas. This debate has polarized sectors of the architectural community, pitting
conservationists against planners and developers. It has positioned conservationists as antidevelopment and antiprogress, responsible for stifling the
creativity of a new generation of architects and their right to contemporary architectural expression.
Change, however, is inevitable. Buildings, streetscapes, and urban areas evolve and change according to the needs of their inhabitants. Therefore, it is
important to determine the role of contemporary architecture in contributing to this change in ways that conserve and celebrate the special character and
quality of the historic environment that communities have recognized as important and wish to conserve for future generations.
Historic areas typically exhibit a range of heritage values, such as social, historical, and architectural. Frequently, they also have aesthetic significance;
therefore, the design quality of new insertions in a historic area is important. One of the challenges in this debate on the role of contemporary architecture
in historic contexts is that design quality can be seen as subjective. Assessing the impact of new development in a historic context has also been accused of
being subjective. However, increasing development pressure has pushed governments and the conservation community to provide more objective guidance
to secure what is termed "the three Cs," namely:
•certainty in the planning system about what constitutes appropriate development;
•consistency in government decision making; and
•communication and consultation between government decision makers and the development sector on creating successful outcomes.
Design professionals differentiate between taste and design quality. Taste is subjective, while quality is measurable. Prescriptive planning tools such as
height restrictions, envelope limitations, and requirements to use certain materials all attempt to provide qualitative design measures. In many places, it is
only when a historic building or area is involved that issues of design quality and character are included in the planning process through development or
impact assessment. Clearly there is a need to provide guidance or establish well-understood standards to assess new development occurring within
treasured streetscapes, neighborhoods, or historic landscapes, in order to meet the three Cs. Given that the debate is now occurring at a global scale, such
standards need to achieve some level of consensus at an international level.

Summarize text
• Challenge: Balancing change and heritage preservation in historic
urban areas is discussed, leading to a divisive debate over integrating
contemporary architecture.
• Heritage Values: Historic areas encompass diverse social, historical,
and architectural heritage, with emphasis on design quality for new
elements.
• "Three Cs": Governments and conservationists seek clear
development criteria, consistent decision-making, and effective
communication in heritage preservation. Design tools address
subjectivity. Global call for international standards to guide modern
architectural expression while conserving heritage.
