Artificial Intelligence in the Built Environment | Session 01 - AI Awareness & Personalisation

Publisher’s Note

Thispublicationispartofanevolvinglectureandreflectionseriesexploring the intersection between architecture, artificial intelligence, human judgment, and future professional practice. Developed through live teachingsessions,studiodiscussions,experimentalworkflows,andongoing dialogue with students, architecture and AI systems, the series forms part ofthebroaderframework:

Architecture 6.0: Navigating the Cognitive Orchestration Era

Rather than treating AI merely as software or automation, these sessions investigate AI as a collaborator, a reﬂective medium, a cognitive extension, andattimes,aphilosophicalmirror.

This volume is a curated compilation of selected lecture slides, visual frameworks, diagrams, reﬂections, and evolving ideas from an ongoing 10-session exploration into AI within the built environment. As the series continues to evolve, this publication may be periodically revised, expanded, andreﬁneduntilthecompletionofthecurrentcycleinJune2026.

AI in architecture: Session on AI awareness & personalisation—foundations, LLMs, multimodal systems, predictive models, and ethical human–AI collaboration. Part of an evolving lecture series (Architecture 6.0), this volume introduces Narrow AI, AGI, Large Language Models, multimodal and predictive/optimisation systems, and Knowledge Management applied to planning, BIM, project management and design. It frames AI as creative collaborator, reflective medium and cognitive extension, exploring AIoT, ethics, wisdom and the shift from “design using AI” to “design with AI.” Edited by Ts. Idris Taib (IDRIS.my), the session compiles live teaching, studio experiments and AI-assisted curation across a 10‑session semester exploration.
