ARCHITECTURAL PARADOXES BEYOND AI: THE UNQUANTIFIABLE QUALITIES OF ARCHITECTURE
Nuran SALIU, Kujtim ELEZI, Fjolla IBRAIMI
Abstract
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in architecture presents both opportunities and challenges. It offers powerful tools for design generation, optimization, and analysis, on one hand, and raises fundamental questions about the inherent paradoxes and unquantifiable qualities that define the discipline, on the other hand. This research investigates the complexities of implementing algorithmic methodologies into the architectural design process, examining the limitations in capturing the contextual sensitivity, aesthetic qualities, and human experience that are central to creating meaningful and impactful architecture. By analyzing the historical context of computational design methods vis – a – vis algorithmic design methods and reviewing current applications in architecture, we aim to compare the potential of AI with the timeless values and paradoxes that shape the essence of architectural design.
