that it had on the architectural design process. Evaluation of the several AI systems and techniques that are transforming architectural design and automating some parts of the process. Several research mythologies will be used to collect, analyze and describe the data. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence works by simulating human intelligence on computer systems that are programed to think and work like humans. AI works on the principles of learning, reasoning, and perception, it mimics the functioning of human brain and makes connections between packets of information. The application of AI is vast reaching, expanding into several industries and sectors. (FRANKENFIELD & JAKE, 2020) Based on the capabilities of AI, is divided into weak and strong. Weak AI is designed to solve a specific task and its capabilities are limited to that task, for example a system designed to play chess against human opponents. On the other hand, strong AI systems has a human-like analysis capabilities, they are designed to perform more complex and complicated tasks. This system has the ability to work without human intervention, for example the system that operates self-driving cars. (FRANKENFIELD & JAKE, 2020)

Introduction of AI into architecture
The architectures design process has been evolving ever since designers started designing. As technology improved and new design tools are invented, they are integrated in the architectural process. After the advent of Artificial Intelligence and its integration in several fields, the entire process of architectural design could be reinterpreted along with the role of architects themselves (Retsin, G. 2019). This push could prove as a great opportunity for architects to examine their current design process and make improvements in the way they work to produce even more sophisticated architecture. As the architectural production line changes and architects start tacking new and old problems, it would be great if designers can get some help in figuring out answers to complex challenges and this is again where Artificial Intelligence comes into play. In some cases, a sophisticated and well evolved AI system can generate design solution much better than humans (Dounis, 2010). Considering cases such as climate change and green designs, humans have done some progress, but the situation is getting worse and AI intervention might be the break though architects were waiting for. AI show great potential as the automated building systems that they operate on set goals such as energy efficiency, comfort, health and productivity in living spaces (Dounis, 2010). And these goals can be set and tweaked in the initial systems. As the system evolves and develops independently, more hard points and goals would be set by the AI systems which may also include points missed out by architects, combination of both would yield a more sustainable architectural design.
