ARC 411: Generative AI for Architectural Design

Class Program
Credits 3 Lecture Hours 3

Generative AI in architecture is not a tool but a design partner. AI is the global brain the local brain of the student will tap into to engage in meaningful, deep conversations. The dialogues with the AI entity are either text-based, image-based, or 3D-model based. Students will understand the principles of neural networks, and, more specifically, how Large Language Models [LLM] can be applied to generative architectural design, acting as intelligent collaborators that translate natural language prompts into design specifications, code, and 3D models.
