Artificial Intelligence in Architecture and its Impact on Design Creativity : A Study on how Artificial Intelligence Affect Creativity in the Design Process

Sammanfattning

Purpose – This paper explores how creativity is affected by implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the design process. Current usage of AI and desired areas for its use in the Swedish architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) will be investigated to form an understanding of its effect on creativity in the design process. Methodology – The study conducted five (5) interviews with industry representatives as well as a literature and document study. Findings – The thesis contributes to understanding how new technology such as AI can affect creativity in the design process. It explored how the creative process is currently structured and how it will be affected by the implementation of AI. It provides an overview of the desired applications of AI in the AEC sector and how these can change the design process in the future.
