AI TOOLS IN PROJECT PRACTICE (DESIGN PROCESS, PLATFORMS, OPEN BUILDING)

The article provides an overview the application of AI-practices in the architectural and design practice (narrow AI/ANI’s). Various directions of introducing these tools into the process (from generative design to reinforced collaborative systems & AI-actors) are considered. The main emphasis is on two aspects: application of AI to ensure the Open Building Implementation concept (within the framework of open construction). How to open buildings ideas react on these practices. How open systems can be complemented with these tools. How the OB-principles (modularity, “openness” itself, users-inhabitants design decisions making & designing process with multiple participants ets.) may change when applying AI-ideas. The second emphasis is the consideration of AI-tools in “social” (non-profit) urban projects to ensure the quality & (mass) access to services to make cities and communities more open and sustainable & to make services more affordable for everybody. A range of examples will be outlined (with the implementation of these tools in new emerging informationally-technological platforms). The theme is examined in depth & sober, not only in technical trends but within the framework of the Postindustrial theory and complex socio-cultural changes & history - to create the new sophisticated fabric of the city, that emerges today.
