Abstract

Recently, there are significant developments in artificial intelligence using advanced machine learning algorithms such as deep neural networks. These new methods can defeat human expert players in strategy-based board games such as Go and video games such as Breakout. This paper suggests a way to incorporate such advanced computing methods into architectural design through introducing a simple conceptual design project inspired by computational interpretations of wasps' collective constructions. At this stage, the paper's intent is not to introduce a practical and fully finished tool directly useful for architectural design. Instead, the paper proposes an example of a program that can potentially become a conceptual framework for incorporating such advanced methods into architectural design.
