3 tools for applying artificial intelligence to architecture and design

Not so long ago, talking about artificial intelligence meant talking about science fiction. The truth is that AI is already far more real than we tend to think.

We are living through the beginning of AI being applied across different sectors, and architecture and design have not been left behind.

Today we bring you 3 tools that are currently applying artificial intelligence to architecture.

1. Interior AI

This tool lets you upload an image of a space, pick a style, and the artificial intelligence hands that image back to you rendered in the style you chose.

Here are a few examples. We found it a very interesting way to look for inspiration.

2. Finch 3D

An assistant for adaptive design.

• Optimise building design with AI and graph technology.
• Get immediate feedback on performance.
• Detect errors.
• Find optimal solutions in the earliest design stages.

3. Architechtures

ARCHITEChTURES is a powerful web-based, AI-assisted design tool for the residential sector. It multiplies the efficiency of the design process, optimising the outcome and cutting design time from months to minutes.

The tool builds the BIM model of the building from the parameters you set.

Bonus: general-purpose AI

Here are 2 free, general-purpose artificial intelligence tools that are leading the field right now:

• Dall·E 2: this artificial intelligence generates images from a description — the limit is your imagination.
• ChatGPT: a language model trained by OpenAI. It is designed to help people find answers to their questions and to provide useful information on a wide range of subjects — an AI that can process and analyse text and give answers based on what it knows.
