Homework - in case you forgot
Chapter 8 - we can’t help ourselves. Yes: we dedicated two chapters on generating images and three on creating architectural models. This is what we love to do as architects. And most of us are pretty confident when it comes to covering these two topics. Why we want to give this craft to computers? No idea! Presumably the human urge to find something better, faster, more impressive.
Fact of the matter is that the majority of our work deals with text based information. With norms and standards. With meetings and meeting minutes. Vast amounts of content needs to be assembled, captured and communicated to all those participating in the project. If there is any real economic benefit in AI applications then it must be in this field.
We appreciate that this section needs structure .. and probably dividing into several sub-chapters.
For the time being we just called it: Productivity.
Our Tests
On our current ToDo list: We are in the process of devising a test-environment for BIM.permit as well as Atlas.TI.
