Computers changed the way we think, design and build architecture. Computers tools allow architects to explore new aesthetics, simulate the performance of their design, or automate their design tasks in a way never seen before. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the latest development in that field with great potential for real-time design assistance in the architectural practice. It may completely change the way humans (co)operate with machines.

Data Sciences for Energy-Efficient Design

Master/Bachelor course, Technische Universität Berlin, Digital architecture and sustainability, 2020

The aim of teaching is to prepare future architects and civil engineers for the challenges of digitization and sustainability. The basis of teaching in the department is the teaching of digital methods in construction with all technical and disciplinary aspects. Integrated into digital models, engineering calculations and simulations of key performance aspects such as energy efficiency and life cycle analysis for sustainability are taught. This includes methodological knowledge and application competence in the following fields:
