Q) What is AI and how can we use it in the built environment?
I think the implications of AI for the built environment are so varied that it’s impossible to give one answer to this. That said, there are two benefits that are perhaps the most exciting for me. The first is AI’s role in creating more freedom in our design processes. This could be the ability to design from different data modalities, from your floorplans and scans of the physical world to simple natural language.
The second is the unparalleled efficiencies in creating deliverables – whether this is taking your project specifications, creating your submittal logs and then matching the two; automating quantity take-offs; or processing your reality capture data.
