In the early stages of projects, architects always face a huge amount of data needed for the design. Currently, computational facilities are available to assist the designer to utilize data and information easily and efficiently to achieve this goal. Artificial Intelligence, AI, is a new science that utilizes, interprets and manipulates data to achieve goals and to accomplish tasks. Currently, AI has been spread among different disciplines and encompasses a wide variety of sub-fields (Modelling, anomaly detection, association and clustering). The present work aims at clarifying the privilege of adopting AI in the architectural design, and to encourage architects to start using it friendly. This is accomplished through a two-fold methodology: highlighting the related literature and demonstrating a summary of selected published case studies of applied and intended projects. It is expected that AI will be applied and play a substantial role in architecture practice more widely in future projects

In recent years, the in-depth study and rapid development of computer vision technology has become an important aspect of image style transfer technology. Use the style transfer algorithm to complete the conversion of the artistic style of the image, and use computer tools to automatically convert the style of other images to the input image, so that the two styles are exactly the same, but the original image will remain unchanged, and this style will be overwritten in other images. In order to complete the reconstruction process, while protecting the original content of the image, there are other style transfer algorithms for visual effects. Computer vision, film and television production and other fields play an unusual role. The style transfer algorithm transfers the painting elements to the movie, and produces a unique animation special effect art effect, thereby providing new ideas and situations for the animation pattern special effect design of the artificial intelligence pattern style transfer algorithm. Therefore, exploring the theoretical approach of pattern style transfer algorithm and improving the diversity of pattern style transfer has greater trade value and industrial application value. Based on the deep learning theory, this paper describes the training model and deep learning framework of the convolutional neural network model VGG19, and introduces the basic technology in the application process in detail, and then applies the animation pattern special effect style transfer algorithm. Summarize the advantages of the style transfer algorithm in the design of animation pattern special effects.

Shape grammars allow a designer to explore a diverse and broad design space. Especially among architects and engineers, the opportunity to evaluate numerous alternatives in the conceptual phase facilitates creativity. Since the introduction of shape grammars 50 years ago, significant research and development have been performed: new applications, combinations with optimisation and integration in digital environments, among others. Consequently, there is a need to map the existing literature to encourage further progress in the field and a lower threshold for those interested in learning more about shape grammars. This study, therefore, presents a systematic mapping of shape grammars in architecture and engineering. Mapping is performed by identifying a query of relevant keywords used in five databases, with the results forming the basis of the mapping. Each of the included articles is then screened to filter out those that do not fit the content criteria. The remaining publications are then evaluated and organised based on the attributes’ application, research type, implementation, engineering and optimisation. The outcome is organised in explanatory illustrations and tables. The final discussion highlights the extensive work performed with shape grammars in the generation of two-dimensional floor plans, an increase in digital development in recent years and the need for further research. The findings indicate a gap between the state of the art and the necessary level of applicability for shape grammars to be an attractive design tool, especially for non-experts.
