Abstract: Throughout history, the practice of architecture has been centered on fulfilling human needs and aspirations. The emergence of post-humanism challenges these conventional boundaries and foci, expanding design thinking by recognizing humans as one element amongst a multiplicity in the design environment, offering opportunities, relationships, and inclusion for others, including emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI).

 

This paper explores the transformative potential of AI in architecture within the context of post-humanism. This research aimed to determine the roles of human and artificial intelligence in the architectural design paradigm, particularly within a context of coexisting parallel intelligence. Our focus has been on spatial floor layout generation within a fixed design scope.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Posthumanism, Architectural Design.
