History and Panorama Artificial Intelligence's (AI) encounter with Architecture is still in its
infancy. However current experiments and applications already are a testimony to their gradual
intersection. This book provides an introduction to the topic through the triple lens of
History Application and Theory. A chronology of Architecture's technological evolution first
puts AI back in the context of the discipline. The author then presents a collection of AI's
applications in Architecture. The book finally gives the stage to contributors working at the
forefront of this revolution. From Harvard to Foster & Partners their perspectives provide a
panorama of the discourse surrounding AI's presence in the field. Halfway between research and
practice this book offers to unveil the promise and challenges AI holds for Architecture.
