Cognitive architecture

Technology has been rapidly developing in the past decades. Compared to half a decade ago, technology has grown at a faster rate. Humans use technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to make tasks easier and aid humans; but, can artificial intelligence do more than aid humans? Can humans use artificial intelligence for something less mechanical and more organic, such as visual arts? Yes, at the rate technology is advancing, artificial intelligence will be able to create fine arts as skillfully as humans. In the future, artificial intelligence will be able to understand human thought and emotion to create visual art. Artificial intelligence is defined as “machines using language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves” (McCarthy, par. 1). Before understanding what artificial intelligence is capable of for the art field, different types of existing artificial intelligence should be viewed. AI is divided into three calibers: artificial narrow intelligence (ANI), artificial general intelligence (AGI), and artificial superintelligence (ASI) (Andros). ANI is called the weak AI with the ability to only perform one task. If an ANI was programed to identify a specific breed of dog, cat, or bird, the ANI will accurately identify the specific animal. When an ANI is programed with its one task, the AI cannot learn or do anything else, but, the task it is programmed to do is done well (Andros). ANI may be able to create…

Aesthetics as a study of beauty has been the keystone for development of art and architecture, which cuts across philosophical, tactile, intuitive, mathematical and socio-cultural realms. The subjectivity of which, has given rise to innumerable attempts to quantify, measure and theorize aesthetics in art and architecture. To comprehend aesthetics, one needs to understand the changing definition of beauty. Definition of beauty has had cultural variations in the development of human civilization.…

emotions are influenced by certain architectural spaces? How do we find contentment in them? In this book, Origins of Architectural Pleasure, Grant Hildebrand suggested that the current artificial environment fabricated by human is largely related to the archetypal qualities in natural settings and the human’s needs since the origin of our species. The book is separated into four chapters and each chapter proposed new terms to describe human’s pleasure in certain settings, which originated from…

Controlled chaos, is the production of the inevitable destruction of war or the calamity of an inadequate political regime. Yet the element of control can be rendered as an aimless ruin rather than an form of architecture. Still even with this control, there is still a void in the term revolution. The complete process of revolution isn’t only deconstruction, but is the process of deconstructing and reassembling for an endless opportunity for interpretation and reevaluation. Viewing the essence…

Is there a certain approach that is considered the right way to approach architectural design? There are many architectural theories that an architect can draw upon that helped them to achieve different types of results in their design, such as constructivism, de-constructivism, critical regionalism and many more. There are a number of architectural projects that are based on the concept of pragmatism. The key element in a pragmatic approach to architecture is function; the pragmatist…

Postmodernism is closely related to individualism, in fact, individualism is one of the many concepts that is in postmodernism. From the view of postmodernists, facts and truths are risen from social subjectivity because experiences and science reasoning are the thing of the past. While this might seem ordinary for many young adults or teens, this postmodernist concept and ideal is what has been keeping experts and mature adults up at night. With the birth of the internet, postmodernist’s…

individual’s intention and ethics, which Bakhtin names “cogito-ethical values.” Therefore, style, the way the writer writes or, as I apply it in this paper, the architect builds, is an aesthetic and ethical choice based on their formal approach in treating the material. Material The material is an embodied evidence of culture. Its investigation helps to trace the early stage of development and proliferation of certain ideas. Soviet new architecture is known for its material: reinforced…

1. Introduction This investigation was conducted for the purposes of finding out the software that Jasmax- a largest and longest establish architectural and design company- used for managing their work. By research on the internet, I will indicate in this report the sort of software that this architect company use or suggest the software that they likely to use as well as point out what type of user will utilize that particular software. 2. Company profile Jasmax is a private enterprise type…

Sustainable Best Practice in Construction • Locally sourced construction materials (a) What is it? Locally sourced construction materials are materials produced within a specific distance from the construction site; different certification programs specify a variety of distance. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design’s (LEED) definition of locally sourced is, “building materials or products that have been extracted, harvested, or recovered, as well as manufactured, within 500 miles of…

Excessive Planning in the Urban Future: Obstacles to Urban Utopia The utopian-style planning of the urban future has embraced principle, and abandoned practicality. In order to form utopian cities, the planners of urban areas like Brasília and Delhi proposed detailed urban plans that have mostly ignored market factors in favor of heightened urban regulations. In the case of Brasília, these regulations, designed to further the city’s utopian conception, have actually had the opposite effect.…
