Artificial Intelligence and Generative Art in Architecture: Use and Reflections

This article addresses the topic of artificial intelligence applied to the process of creating images in architecture and urbanism. Through the broad incorporation of artificial intelligence tools for the production of texts and images, this article is the result of research that started with the following question: How can artificial intelligence be incorporated into the design process of architectural and urbanism projects. From a methodological point of view, this is an exploratory and qualitative research, in which a bibliographical survey was carried out that also provided the basis for the development of a workshop with beginning students in an architecture and urbanism course at a Brazilian federal university. As it is still a novelty, there is still a premature stage of incorporation of artificial intelligence, which requires a critical and reflective stance.
