Architectural Design in the age of Enhanced Artificiality

Abstract

This article would like to offer a philosophical overview on the subject of the author in light of the evolution of technology and the explosion of computation with particular reference to their impact on the disciplines of architecture and design. Within this premise though, the scope of many of the presented concepts can be widened to encompass any form of creative process, human and non-human alike. The concept of authoriality, and the relation between design and making will be reviewed under the lens of computation and its evolution, from the relevant historical premises underlined by Carpo and the figure of Leon Battista Alberti to the raise of AI and its foreseeable potential.
