A.I. Use in Workplace Design
A.I. is an emerging design tool making its way into architecture firms.
A.I. is being used for design efficiency and to cater to an organization’s individual needs.
The New York Times reports that while many firms use digital data for this reason, the British firm, Zaha Hadid Architects, is one that offers a team dedicated to deploying and utilizing data collected with A.I.
Data is harnessed using sensor tracks to analyze environmental conditions and human interaction as well as particulars such as air quality, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels.
Architects will then use this data to understand the individual needs of the client and execute changes accordingly such as rearranging and redesigning lighting, furniture layouts, and work and recreational spaces.
Traditional data methods include organizational charts, observational studies, and staff feedback.
As the use of A.I. increases concerns about privacy and autonomy are factored in, however, it remains an open-ended question for scholars, businesses, and employees, as the use grows.
