摘要

The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in architecture is facilitating innovative design approaches and building forms. Such a trend may stimulate the rise of post-human architects and require collaborative human-machine efforts to materialize design intents. This paper discusses an AI-aided design, robotic and mixed reality (MR)-aided construction workflow in a student’s project of a non-standard timber pavilion. It first describes an expanded formal repertoire empowered by AI-generated content and machine learning design algorithms. It describes paperless in-situ construction procedures involving MR and industrial robots. The paper concludes by arguing that the new generation of architectural designers must learn to master the latest techniques in design-to-build processes so that they are capable of confronting future industrial shifts and challenges.
