Book Introduction: AI and 3D printing are transforming the structures of design and production, going beyond the means of architectural expression. *The Future of Architecture Changed by AI and 3D Printing* systematically examines how these technologies are changing the architectural mindset, work processes, materials, construction methods, and the role of the architect.
This book does not stop at merely introducing the possibilities of technology, but focuses on the question of “what is prioritized and why that decision was made” rather than “what can be made.” Starting with the historical relationship between architecture and technology, it explains the principles of AI, design workflows, and AI tools in the field of architecture, and covers the additive manufacturing principles, materials, equipment, fabrication and construction processes of 3D printing, as well as domestic and international application cases.
In particular, it defines the architect of the AI era not as someone who draws forms, but as a 'designer of judgment' who organizes questions, sets standards, and takes responsibility for results. It also interprets 3D printing as a new method of architectural production that connects digital models, materials, printing paths, structures, and construction.
It also discusses laws and regulations, performance verification, data bias, copyright and liability, and the transformation of architectural education in the wake of technological advancements. It is a practical guide that examines how not only readers new to AI and 3D printing but also architectural researchers, educators, and design and construction practitioners should evaluate and utilize these technologies.
It is a guide.
