Artificial Intelligence as a strengthening factor The use of AI within the built environment revolves around the envisioning of the new way of life now and in the future. It deals with bringing back the socio-economic developments into society itself, while embedding technological innovations in the DNA of the built environment. Dwellings and communities must be built, letting residents participate in activities they wish to do. Technology should not only empower people, but empower people in a way that they can more quickly flourish and express themselves. Right now prof.dr.ir. M. Mohammadi, the chair of Smart Architectural Technologies, deals with empowering people that belong to the more vulnerable groups of society, like older citizens, or people with a lower socio-economic status. The questions she asks, deal with how building designers empower those people, how can we assist them and compensate their physical or psychological restrictions so that it not only benefits society, but more importantly themselves. This is not only looking at the impairments these individuals possess, but also looking at the capabilities they still have. Someone that suffers from psychological sickness for example, might still be physically able to go outside for a walk. In such situations, how can we, using AI, aid those people, so they can still walk around independently? Another important topic is about strengthening social cohesion in a community, and stimulating the interaction and cooperation between residents. Using AI can then help shift the purpose of dwellings. Not only do they need to shelter and provide security, but they can also help us understand the ways of living of the residents, thus helping us think of solutions, to help raise our capabilities and compensate the flaws of decision makers The key issues that AI helps us with are the importance of user-centeredness and improving both physical and mental health & well-being, which ultimately will raise the overall quality of life. Ground breaking developments in one field must also be translated into developments in another. A technology is only as strong as its application in real life. For AI in the built environment this means that the concepts and ideas of one field (e.g. technology) must be translated into new architectural concepts, and ultimately also into new housing typologies. However, it is not only important to create entirely new typologies, but also to perhaps re-use existing types or to extend the capabilities of existing types.
