Abstract
This study investigates the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Architecture and Construction sectors, examines how Artificial Intelligence is integrated with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its impact on the entire project lifecycle. A review of AI’s pivotal role in modern architecture and construction. Artificial Intelligence is an engine that radically transforms project conception, alters the design, execution and management practices of infrastructure project. It brings significant advantages in all phases of the project, revolutionizing traditional methodologies in the Architecture and Construction by automating repetitive tasks, enabling faster design iterations through generative design, optimizing building performance through data analysis, improving collaboration with BIM integration and facilitating better decision-making with advanced simulations. The article delves into various critical applications of AI in the Architecture and the construction industry including optimized design achieved through automatic generation of innovative designs with generative design practices, advanced project management by predicting and optimizing resources, improvements in terms of safety at work, sustainable development, virtual and augmented reality applications, the creation of intelligent expert systems and finally explore the future of AI, AI’s impacts on the design process and how it works with architectural-construction technologies and the associated benefits and challenges.
