ABSTRACT
Artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally changed the possibilities for architecture. AI technology, in its many manifestations, is believed to save time and resources, and is changing the way we do projects. Parametric design is at the forefront of this unprecedented evolution, which is a graphical description of a design problem, in a network of geometric connections that can be processed in various spatial contexts. More than three decades have passed since the first advanced 3D parametric modeling and BIM programs were added to the interdisciplinary communication interface. During this time, digital modeling replacing the analogue process of searching for form was established in architecture theory with thousands of publications and scientific conferences devoted to CAD/CAM/CAE. Currently, such a historic change in the approach to design can be seen in artificial intelligence, which is a way for architects to quickly generate visually attractive ideas, especially for objects with free-form features. This article presents research carried out using artificial intelligence generators for geometrically advanced free forms obtained in parametric modelling.
