Beyond AI Under LA AI in Architectural context

"CAD" THINKING "CAD" thinking refers to the Computer aided design thinking which means take the capacity of the computer into design consideration, especially in the design process. Although both of the modern architectural practice or education has involved the computer technology into this industry or discipline, from my perspective, people may either just regard the computer technology as an tool to realize their mindful thinking, or be trapped by the avaliable fancy visual effect which is only the parts of the technology. The hidden asset burried in the technology is the intelligence of how to mathematicaly solve a variety figure and color. These intelligence instead of being simply narrowed down to the visual communication, it has the potential to contribute certain efforts to the design process. AI(Adobe Illustraator), marked by its constructive drawing mode which based on the vector expression, is one of the significant instrument in our professional field. This case study are going to talk about the function of Adobe Illustrator under the Architectural context by giving specific applications on how the AI can be used in an Architectural way.

"Line" or path as the most basic element in AI stands replace the human drawing to some extent. However, even though the technology offers the potential to convey complexity, the human can still able to infused sensitive quality into the graphic by the expressive capacity of hand-drawn elements. 1 Through the general view of the line application in AI, we can see this potential to make the outcomes more vivid by involving both computer's intelligence and the subject's sensation.
AI TO LA Construction
The outcome of the AI depends on both of input information and computer processing. Since most of Architectural students are still working on the common computer which served with the mouse and the keyboard, we should reconsider the relationship between the input information and computer processing to make them work more seamlessly. In terms of this point, AI contains the enouigh complexity to cooperate with the human input information. If we simply consider mouse-position as the only influence we added to the outcomes, then the connection between the user input of controlling the mouse movement, and the drawn result, is obvious straight away.2 By cooperating with the AI's algorithmic tools, we can scale up our individual input and finally, the outcomes become more complex and unpridictatble at the meantime.
