Generative AI and its implications on design: Man x Machine x Material

The architecture and design industry saw significant transformation in the ‘60s and ‘70s when CAD (Computer-Aided Design) systems like AutoCAD shifted manual drafting to digital design. Today, generative artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing design automation at unprecedented speeds, by assisting with idea generation that enables quick refinement and rapid prototyping.While generative AI introduces exciting opportunities, it also raises questions about its role, capabilities and
