History of Artificially Intelligent Architecture

<p><em>A History of Artificially Intelligent Architecture: Case Studies from the USA UK Europe and Japan 1949-1987</em> provides a comprehensive survey of architectural projects exhibiting intelligence since the Late First Century right up to the present day.</p><p>Tracing the social scientific and technological developments this book analyses case studies from both conceived and executed architectural projects by Architects and Cyberneticians from the United States United Kingdom Europe and Japan from 1949-87. From the Late First Century through to the Seventeenth Century the scientific endeavors of the Hero of Alexandria Ramon Llull Paracelsus René Descartes Jacques de Vaucanson Pierre Jacquet-Droz and Charles Babbage have been presented in which they attempted to review analyse and conclude the notion of artificial intelligence. Coming to the Twenty-First Century and witnessing a period particularly from 1949-87 where nothing had been constant Architects and Cyberneticians whose architectural projects attempted to simulate intelligence include Cedric Price Richard Saul Wurman Nicholas Negroponte Kenzo Tange Arata Isozaki Charles Eames Ezra D. Ehrenkrantz Richard Rogers Renzo Piano and Gordon Pask respectively. This book asks: How have Polymaths Architects and Cyberneticians simulated artificial intelligence in their scientific/architectural projects? Is it possible to define intelligence purely based on the history of architecture? Or on a more extensive level is it possible to view artificial intelligence originating from the history of architecture instead of computational paradigm?</p><p>The transdisciplinarity of the book makes it of interest to researchers and students of technologically advanced architecture’s history theory and criticism artificial intelligence cybernetics information and communications urban and sustainable design ergonomics computer applications and digital design and fabrication.</p>
