In its brief history in architecture, AI has been used exclusively as an agent of novelty. Architects have seen it as a form finder and fantasy generator, and this has prevented it from being considered a tool for serious architecture. This thesis section investigated the possibilities for AI within the field as such a tool. Students attempted to use AI to flesh out their own history of projects to provide a catalog of precedents that could then be analyzed to discover a thesis within them and then use AI to figure out what’s next, as their thesis project.
