“This imagery is both miraculous and solid... young architects will be inspired; older architects will be freaked.” —Wes Jones
AI Sapien: Variations on Architecture and the Future unveils a paradigm-shifting vision of the future where artificial intelligence (AI) transforms architecture into thinking machines. This experimental book features an alchemy of 128 original AI-generated artworks along with insightful dialogues and evocative poetry created in collaboration with AI, all set to Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
Through this mixed media approach, AI Sapien explores the future of architecture and its relation to these ontologically mysterious machines that are beginning to simulate sentience. Presenting a future where AI and habitat are inextricably linked, this book reveals new insights into AI's enigmatic "Black Box.”
